The Devil Within: Satgat arrives on PlayStation 5 as a visually stylish and ambitious 2.5D action game that blends Metroidvania structure with fast-paced swordplay and a hauntingly bleak setting. Developed by Newcore Games, this is a title that wears its inspirations on its sleeve – think Dead Cells meets Sekiro, filtered through a dark, techno-feudal Korean lens. And while some rough edges remain, particularly in terms of polish and balance, this is a game that shows real heart and a promising foundation for something special from the studio in the future.

Rusty Rangers review (PS5)
Rusty Rangers, developed by Fantastica!, is one of those indie surprises that manages to walk the line between retro homage and modern mechanics and experimentation. Billed as a blend of classic platform shooting with roguelike elements, the game tries to combine nostalgic mechanics with progression systems that reward repeated play. On PlayStation 5, that balance mostly works – even if some parts of the experience struggle to fully ignite the excitement its pixel-packed presentation promises.

Flora & Fang: Guardians of the Vampire Garden review (Switch)
Flora & Fang: Guardians of the Vampire Garden brings an unusual and quirky mix of themes to the Nintendo Switch – tower defense meets bug-blasting arcade action, all wrapped up in a charming 2D package starring two young vampires defending their undead dad’s pumpkin patch.

Outgunned Adventure review
Outgunned Adventure, the first genre book in Free League’s Outgunned RPG line, trades spy thrillers and heist fantasies for the jungle-choked ruins and supernatural relics of classic adventure cinema hits. Inspired by the likes of Indiana Jones and The Mummy, it expands the action-oriented framework of the original Outgunned into a stand-alone system for quick-fire treasure-hunting campaigns (though it can also be played as an expansion). While some of its systems show signs of strain under increased narrative ambition, the result is still an exhilarating genre romp that captures the momentum and drama of its source material – making it a great crossover entry for cinema fans.
