With Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, developer Stormteller Games returns to the whimsical and nightmarish world of Random, previously introduced by Zoink. Acting as both a spin-off and a standalone roguelike, the game revisits the dice-driven chaos and gothic aesthetic that helped the original stand out, but this time through a more combat-heavy, procedural lens. While its strategic depth and art direction hit familiar highs, a few design quirks and uneven pacing keep it just short of greatness. The end result is still a strong title, which we checked out on a PlayStation 5. Continue reading “Lost in Random: The Eternal Die review (PS5)”

Section 13 review (PS5)
Stepping into Section 13 feels like diving headfirst into a noir-infused sci-fi showdown – one where rogue agents face containment breaches, eldritch horrors, and locked-down AI, all wrapped in sardonic corporate satire. The core narrative thrust, centered around Agent Red and her eclectic squad, is more fleshed-out than you might expect for a twin-stick roguelite. Each character – whether it’s the reckless Boy Scout or the dryly humorous Beaker – has backstory elements and personal mysteries that unfold between runs, helped along by solid voice acting and a tone that balances paranoia, dark humor, and suspense. We tried it out on a PlayStation 5. Continue reading “Section 13 review (PS5)”
Gun X review (Quest)
Stepping into Gun X on Meta Quest delivers a new take on VR shooters, where your weapon isn’t just something you pick up – it’s something you build under pressure. Each match starts with a challenge: assemble your firearm piece by piece before bullets ever start flying. It’s a core mechanic that instantly separates the experience from the more traditional VR shooting gallery fare, creating a loop that’s both tactile and tense. Constructing weapons becomes just as crucial as aiming them, especially when every second counts. Continue reading “Gun X review (Quest)”

The Division 2: Battle for Brooklyn DLC review (PS5)
Returning to a more narrative-focused structure, the new Battle for Brooklyn expansion offers a refreshing shift in tone and purpose for The Division 2. After years of seasonal content and open-ended grind cycles, this DLC reintroduces a structured mini-campaign that puts story front and center. The stakes feel personal again because of it, with Brooklyn portrayed as a fragile safe haven now under threat from the Cleaners. This familiar enemy faction brings their own brand of chaos across the river from Manhattan, and players must once again restore order in the face of overwhelming odds. It’s a compelling setup that gives returning players a strong reason to reengage, and we enjoyed diving back into this on the PS5.
