The Silent Hill series was one of Konami’s golden geese for the majority of the early 2000s. As Team Silent disbanded, many studios tried to take creative ownership of the IP to varying success. Some leaned too much on combat, while others broke the lore in the process. Following the success of Bloober Team’s Silent […]
Borderlands 4 brings the Borderlands franchise back to a more grounded, serious and yet quirky fun baseline we expect from the franchise. Bringing better gun-play, insane build-crafting and a ton of quality of life upgrades. But underlining a terribly good game is the bad performance that has an impact on all platforms, yet it was […]
Kirby has always been Nintendo’s most cheerful enigma. A pink puffball who can inhale almost anything and turn it into power. With Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the series made the leap into fully 3D platforming, earning praise for its charm, creativity, and approachability. Now with Star-Crossed World, the pink hero returns in a new […]
Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most pleasant surprises of the PlayStation 4 era. Developed by Sucker Punch, the studio behind cult classic Sly Cooper and Infamous series, Ghost of Tsushima was a bold new direction for them. Set in the backdrop of the 13th-century Mongol invasion of the Japanese island of Tsushima, the […]
It’s been a long time since Sega’s ninja hero, Joe Musashi, graced our screens. After years in hiding, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance finally pulls the franchise back into the spotlight. Developed by Lizardcube, this 2025 revival promises fast combat, stylish visuals, and a proper modern twist on a classic series. What we have here is a brilliant revival […]
I like supporting small studios and their ideas mainly because they come up with unique ideas, weird worlds, and new gameplay mechanics. Rogue Factor, the company behind Hell Is Us, made some interesting choices both in the art and the overall structure of the game, but it also came with a cost that, in my […]
It may have been months since my last review for BGeek, but I couldn’t help but smile when Mike suggested I try Lost Soul Aside for this review. Lost Soul Aside is a third-person action/adventure title from Chinese developer Ultizero Games, developed with the help of the PlayStation China Hero program, an initiative by Sony […]
Slick wall-runs and clear combat define The Rogue Prince of Persia, a stylish rogue-lite that plays great but feels light on long-term depth.
Following the success of their Silent Hill 2 remake, Bloober Team gained significant trust and confidence from the gaming community. While their previous titles, like The Medium or the Blair Witch, were divisive, the Silent Hill 2 remake was universally accepted as a great game. Cronos: The New Dawn development began in 2021 and was […]
When two small but very talented studios combined their skills, PEAK was created. Aggro Crab is the studio behind Another Crab’s Treasure, a well-made soulslike indie game with a unique style that unfortunately did not make the impact the studio wanted. They partnered with Landfall, which is famous for making physics games, and recently, the […]
For decades, video games have cast us as the heroic saviour: the one who swings the sword, defeats the monsters, and saves the realm. Be My Horde asks a far more delicious question: what if you were the nightmare everyone else feared? What if, instead of destroying the undead, you were the necromancer raising them? […]
