Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition review (PS5)

The best parts of the Alien franchise have always thrived on a balance between slow-burn horror and bursts of violent action, and Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition tries to bring both sides together in a cinematic way. Developed by Survios and released for PlayStation 5, this edition reworks the original VR-focused release into a flat-screen experience, with updated visuals, smoother performance, and tweaks to make the gameplay flow on a controller. The result is a tense, atmospheric shooter that occasionally stumbles but still manages to capture the hostile spirit of the films.

The House of Tesla review (PC)

Blue Brain Games made a name for itself with The House of Da Vinci, so expectations were naturally high when The House of Tesla arrived on PC. Much like its predecessor, it leans heavily into puzzle-driven storytelling, this time anchored by the legacy of Nikola Tesla and the haunting ruins of his Wardenclyffe facility. It’s a fascinating setup, one that blends science, myth, and mystery in a way that feels ripe for exploration.

Baby Steps review (PS5)

When Devolver Digital unveiled Baby Steps, a collaboration between Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and Bennett Foddy, it was clear this would not be another straightforward walking simulator. On PlayStation 5, players take control of Nate, a slacker whose greatest achievement is figuring out how to put one foot in front of the other.

Much like Getting Over It, the goal isn’t simply to reach the end, but to embrace the awkward struggle along the way. Continue reading “Baby Steps review (PS5)”

Formula Legends review (PS5)

Racing games tend to follow two paths – either striving for pure simulation or leaning into accessible arcade thrills. Formula Legends, developed by 3DClouds, aims to find a middle ground, offering a stylized tour through motorsport history that mixes authenticity with creative liberties. On PlayStation 5, it presents itself as both a tribute to Formula racing and an approachable entry point for players who may not usually dive into the genre.
