Atlus’s unexpected revival of Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army arrives not as a simple remaster, but as a robust reinvention that carefully balances nostalgia associated with the original with modern sensibilities. Renamed Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, it transforms a charmingly quirky game into a sleek, contemporary action-RPG experience. The smoky Taishō-era Tokyo still crackles with supernatural intrigue, but it’s now delivered through smoother combat and sharper visuals that lean into both style and substance.

Star Overdrive review (PS5)
Star Overdrive rolls onto the PS5 with ambition and charm, delivering a sci-fi adventure built around gravity-defying hoverboard antics. At its core is Bios, racing across the wastelands of planet Cebete in search of his missing partner, Nous – his journey punctuated by floating ruins, sandy dunes, and vistas that speak to more than mere exploration. The game’s visual identity leans heavily into a cel-shaded palette reminiscent of modern open-world games, yet it remains strikingly original, weaving sweeping vistas, dusty stockades, and crystalline structures into a discreetly vibrant sandbox.

Star Trucker review (PS5)
Very few games successfully merge the laid-back atmosphere of a trucking sim with the tense, mechanical management of a space survival game – but Star Trucker does exactly that. From the moment you slide into the cockpit of your spacefaring rig, there’s a tangible sense of immersion as you engage with the ship’s life support, gravity controls, fuel levels, and power distribution systems. It’s an intricate dance of checks and balances, and it quickly becomes clear that this is more than just an interstellar delivery game – it’s about survival and skill in equal measure, and it’s out now on PlayStation 5.

GEX Trilogy review (PS5)
GEX Trilogy resurrects Crystal Dynamics’ pop‑culture loving gecko, packing all three of his adventures – the original classic 2D one and the two 3D sequels – into a sleek, nostalgic package. While firmly rooted in 1990s platformer DNA, the collection doesn’t merely plant Gex in time; it wisely arms him with modern quality‑of‑life tools. Think rewind, save‑anywhere, analog stick control, and native 16:9 widescreen for the 3D entries – originally made in the 4:3 era. Presented through Limited Run’s Carbon Engine, this embrace of the era’s quirks feels like a solid throwback, polished for today’s systems. Continue reading “GEX Trilogy review (PS5)”
Wizard of Legend 2 review (PS5)
Wizard of Legend 2 brings players back to the magical Trials with a bold new look and four-player co‑op, but it’s not merely a visual upgrade – it’s a transformation that feels both refreshing and somewhat ‘out of place’ at the same time. Gone is the pixel-art charm of the original, replaced by slick 3D visuals and isometric angles that clearly borrow from Hades-style presentation, giving it the polish of bigger roguelikes – but sometimes undermining the character of the original. The world now shimmers with vibrant environments, and character portraits are expressive, yet the experience often feels like Hades-lite rather than a true Wizard successor.
