A A Read More

Time for some space-based scraps and scrap dealing.

Lewis Packwood 6 April 2020 Reviews

The update for Control makes a big difference to the frame rates on PS4

A A Read More

Not perfect, but a lot better.

Lewis Packwood 21 September 2019 News

Control is stunning, but it judders along like nobody’s business on a base PS4

A A Read More

This game is amazing – but I really wish I had the PC version instead.

Lewis Packwood 10 September 2019 Opinions

Wolfenstein: Youngblood review – don’t listen to the doubters

A A Read More

WHAM!

Lewis Packwood 15 August 2019 Reviews

Steins;Gate Elite review – not worth it if you’ve already seen the anime

A A Read More

This is a game you watch, rather than play. And that’s fine if you’ve never seen the anime it’s based on – but if you have, get ready for some deja vu.

Lewis Packwood 26 February 2019 Reviews

I don’t like stealth games, but Hitman is comedy gold

A A Read More

The adventures of a bumbling assassin.

Review: Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition (PS4)

A A Read More

Hollow Knight is one of the best Metroidvania games I’ve ever played, and a remarkable result for a first-time developer.

Lewis Packwood 7 December 2018 Reviews

Review: 428: Shibuya Scramble (PS4)

A A Read More

This acclaimed visual novel from the makers of the Zero Escape series received a perfect score from Famitsu magazine back in 2008 – and now it’s finally available in English.

From The Armchair: Welcome To The World Of VR

A A Read More

PlayStation VR has entered The Manor, and it’s flippin’ amazing.

Lewis Packwood 26 November 2018 From The Armchair

Review: Call of Cthulhu (PS4)

A A Read More

Call of Cthulhu is a pleasingly atmospheric take on Lovecraft’s creations – as long as you’re willing to overlook some of the rough edges.

Lewis Packwood 19 November 2018 Reviews

Review: Valkyria Chronicles 4 (PS4)

A A Read More

A masterful return to form for a series that had lost its way.

Lewis Packwood 12 November 2018 Reviews

Review: Steel Rats (PS4)

A A Read More

The long-awaited Steel Rats is finally here, chainsaw wheels and vertical driving fully intact. But does it live up to its promise?

Lewis Packwood 7 November 2018 Reviews

Win a download code for Steel Rats on PS4!

Review: Sunless Sea: Zubmariner Edition (PS4)

A A Read More

The cult PC game Sunless Sea finally makes its way onto the PS4 with its Zubmariner DLC intact. Time to dive into the chilling waters of the Unterzee…

Lewis Packwood 1 October 2018 Reviews

Hollow Knight is coming to PS4 and Xbox One!

And this fantastic Metroidvania game is being released very soon indeed…

Lewis Packwood 12 September 2018 News

Review: Chasm (PS4)

A A Read More

Chasm is a beautiful pixel-art Metroidvania with a dizzying array of enemies to fight.

Lewis Packwood 12 September 2018 Reviews

Review: State of Mind (PS4)

A A Read More

Daedalic’s promising futuristic thriller falls disappointingly flat.

Lewis Packwood 21 August 2018 Reviews

Review: Iconoclasts (PS4)

A A Read More

You know how people are saying Iconoclasts is one of the best games this year? Yeah, about that…

Lewis Packwood 17 August 2018 Reviews

Review: Super Destronaut DX (PS4)

A A Read More

It’s Space Invaders! Again! But even though Super Destronaut DX throws in a few innovations, there’s not much to hold your attention for long.

Lewis Packwood 7 August 2018 Reviews

Review: Dead Cells (PS4)

A A Read More

This Rogue-like Metroidvania is rock hard but thoroughly enjoyable. Reanimated corpses have never been so much fun.

Lewis Packwood 6 August 2018 Reviews

The final hours of Gravity Rush 2 online

A A Read More

The Gravity Rush 2 servers have shut down just a year and a half after the game’s release. I spent the last night sampling as much online stuff as I could.

Lewis Packwood 19 July 2018 Opinions

I’m rushing through Gravity Rush 2 before the servers shut down on 19 July

A A Read More

With just two days to go until the server shutdown, I haven’t even scratched the surface of Gravity Rush 2’s online content.

Better Late Than Never: Gravity Rush Remastered

A A Read More

Six years after its release, I’ve finally played Gravity Rush. And it’s an absolute belter.

Lewis Packwood 13 July 2018 Better Late Than Never

Review: Moonlighter (PS4)

A A Read More

Moonlighter is a dungeon crawler mashed up with a retail game – and it’s utterly fantastic.

Lewis Packwood 28 June 2018 Reviews

Review: The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 (PS4)

A A Read More

It’s repetitive, admin-heavy and ridiculously sexualised, but for a small niche of players, The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 could be a lot of fun.

Lewis Packwood 10 May 2018 Reviews

Review: The Swords of Ditto (PS4)

A A Read More

This beautiful ‘micro-RPG’ from One Bit Beyond may look cute, but it holds a fearsome challenge. If your character dies, they’re gone for forever – and you lose almost everything.

Lewis Packwood 24 April 2018 Reviews

State of Mind is a slick-looking low-poly thriller

A A Read More

State of Mind is a promising techno-thriller from point and click experts Daedalic Entertainment, with a distinctive low-poly look.

Lewis Packwood 18 April 2018 News

PlayStation 5? Noooooo, not yet!

A A Read More

It feels like I only just got my PS4. I’m in no rush to splash out on a brand new console.

Lewis Packwood 11 April 2018 Opinions

Review: Midnight Deluxe (PS4)

A A Read More

This golf-like puzzler for PS4, Switch and Vita is entertaining, but it feels out of place on the big screen.

Lewis Packwood 7 April 2018 Reviews

Review: Dandara (PS4)

A A Read More

Dandara is a challenging metroidvania title with a Brazilian twist – and the title character has a very unique way of getting about. No simple walking for this lady.

Lewis Packwood 27 March 2018 Reviews

Review: The Long Reach (PS4)

A A Read More

The Long Reach is an excellently written game in the vein of point and click adventures of old. But thankfully the days of pixel hunting are long past.

Lewis Packwood 26 March 2018 Reviews
