South of Midnight Review – A Beautiful Game Held Back by Flawed Storytelling and Flat CombatIt’s strange to look at developer Compulsion Games’ lineup and see they’re still a relatively young studio. After their upcoming release, South of Midnight, the team only has three titles in their catalog. While each game has a significant dose of creativity and wonder, Contrast and We Happy Few failed to truly capitalize on the [...]

Review: South Of Midnight (Xbox) - A Fantastic, Soulful Outing From Xbox Game StudiosWorth headin' south for. Ever since wrapping up my early preview of the game almost two months ago now, I've been desperate to get back to Xbox's South of Midnight . That single-chapter sneak peek drew me in with its gorgeous visuals, smooth gameplay and undeniable charm - I just needed a bit more context to get a proper idea of what Compulsion Games was going for. Now, after rolling credits on South of Midnight, I can confidently say that this is one of my favourite Xbox Game Studios releases in ages. Here's the basic premise: you play as Hazel, a young woman on a quest to save her mother after a deadly storm wreaks havoc in the Deep South.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remaster Review – More Like Legend of the PogosGrowing up during the 2000s and early 2010s led me to watch countless YouTubers who informed me about games I never knew existed. Among these discoveries was the 1997 3D platformer Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. Something about this to-the-point platformer has stuck with me for over a decade. Whether it was the simplistic presentation or [...]

Xbox Game Pass Title Atomfall Looks 'Distractingly Last-Gen', Says Tech ReviewDF has its say. With Atomfall out now in Early Access form, we're starting to see footage of the game crop up online - and of course, the team at Digital Foundry has taken a closer look at the game on current-gen consoles and PC. However, despite the team's tech review focusing on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 in terms of consoles, DF actually goes as far as saying that Atomfall looks "distractingly last-gen" on any platform that it's running on.

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls Review – With Your Sheer Endeavor, Believe YourselfAnime games are a classic cautionary tale. While you can have stellar results, as seen in the beginnings of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series, you can fall victim to Jump Force or, as a more recent example, the infamous case of Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash.
