Trials: Rat Edition

Platforms: PC, PS4 Reviewed On: PS4 Pro Developer: Tate Multimedia Publisher: Tate Multimedia Singleplayer: Yes Multiplayer: No Review code provided free of charge by the publisher. At some point, while I was hurtling down a road with the front sawblade of my bike merrily spinning away, I began to idly wonder how much of a jerk I was being. I mean, surely with that spinning sawblade of doom attached to the wheel the street must be getting torn to pieces, right? Admittedly there is something of an apocalypse going on in the background so a little extra damage isn’t the end of the world, but somebody is going to have to clean it all up. Ah well, such are the harsh realities of 2.5D motorcycling, I suppose. You’ll play as the titular Street Rats in the steampunk-ish Coastal City where a strange invasion of robots made entirely of junk (and creatively named Junkbots) is taking place. Its up to the rag-tag Rats and their trusty motorbikes to venture out into the world and save the ...

Aragami: Shadow Edition Review

  Platforms: Xbox One, PS4 and PC Reviewed On: PC Developer: Lince Works Publisher: Lince Works Singleplayer: Yes Multiplayer: Co-op Review code supplied free of charge by the publisher. Originally released back in 2016 for PC, Aragami is now making its way to consoles in the form of the new Aragami: Shadow Edition, complete with a new piece of content called Nightfall, which you can buy separately, that acts as a prequel to the main game. So, since this was a title I skipped when it was first released and in celebration of the new edition hitting consoles let’s check out this ninja stealth ’em up that absolutely has nothing to do with the traditional art of folding paper. Man, was I confused for the first hour. You are an Aragami, a vengeful shadow spirit summoned at the behest of a woman named Yamiko who is currently trapped by the Kaiho, a group of light-adept fanatics. As the Aragami you are a being of shadow, and thus you have a single night in which to achieve the goals...

Kingsburg 2nd Edition Review

Designed by: Andrea Chiarvesio, Luca Iennaco Art by: Mario Barbati, Davide Corsi, Roberto Pitturru Published by: Z-Man Games Players: 2-5 Playtime: 90-120 Minutes Review copy supplied free of charge by Asmodee UK Games usually get a second print run if they’ve done something right, so this second edition of Kingsburg seems to indicate that when it first came out people must have quite liked it. Me? Well, I’m still a relative noob, so I never played it when it first came out or in the intervening time since. Now its gotten a bit of a royal makeover with all-new artwork, some rather sexy dice and the entirety of the To Forge a Kingdom expansion rammed into the box for good measure. But thousands of people are wrong all the damn time about things, so is this dice-placement game actually any good? Have I really been missing out? Under orders from the wise and bearded King your job is to hob-nob with the court advisors in order to gather wood, stone, gold and other valuable things t...
