Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition review (Xbox)

It’s been over a decade since Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine first threw players into the battle-scarred boots of Captain Titus, but with the Master Crafted Edition, the brutal action classic returns with a new coat of paint, a trove of DLC, and a promise to deliver its signature blend of guns, chainswords, and grimdark spectacle to modern consoles. Released on Xbox with enhancements courtesy of SneakyBox and published once again by SEGA, this refreshed version offers a welcome opportunity to revisit one of the most memorable third-person shooters of its generation – even if it can’t fully hide the age of its foundations and has been overshadowed by the excellent sequel.

How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine review (PS5)

Breakfirst Games returns with How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine, a follow-up to their clever asymmetric co-op puzzler we reviewed earlier, and once again the formula leans hard into communication, logic, and tension – only now with higher stakes and deeper water. Published by Maximum Entertainment, this sequel keeps the two-screen design intact, where one player explores an environment on console while the other assists via a companion app, this time navigating a submerged military crisis aboard a silent, torpedo-armed submarine. It’s a novel approach that continues to stand out in a market short on true two-player cooperation, and although the game still wrestles with a few legacy issues from the original it’s a blast to play.

Memory Lost review (PS5)

Memory Lost, developed by Magic Hazard and published by ESDigital Games, brings a cyberpunk twist to the top-down shooter genre by putting players in the role of an AI on the run. It’s an ambitious pitch: a rogue digital entity fighting back against its creators by hijacking the bodies of its enemies, leaping from host to host in a constant flow of possession-based combat. The setup is compelling, combining frantic action with a dystopian sci-fi narrative, but while the concept impresses, the execution doesn’t always keep pace with the game’s ambition. Here’s our take on the PS5 version, which recently launched. Continue reading “Memory Lost review (PS5)”

Chronicles of the Wolf review (PS5)

Chronicles of the Wolf, developed by Migami Games and published by PQube, is a gothic action platformer that proudly wears its Castlevania influences on its bloodstained sleeves. From its grim European setting to its intricate map design and precise combat, the game offers a retro-styled metroidvania experience steeped in lore, with enough challenge and personality to satisfy fans of the genre. While it succeeds in crafting a richly atmospheric world and an engaging narrative hook, it doesn’t always manage to refine its mechanics to match its ambitions, but still offers a must-play experience for fans of the genre.
