Hunter x Hunter – Nen x Impact review (PS5)

From the outset, Hunter × Hunter: Nen × Impact positions itself as a fighting game that leans into the chaotic excitement of 3-on-3 team battles. Developed by Eighting and Bushiroad Games and published by Arc System Works, it’s a project with solid fighting game lineage behind it, drawing inspiration from the fast-paced tag systems of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. That foundation gives the game a sharp edge in terms of mechanical depth, but the experience is let down by a lack of polish and content that undermines its initial promise.

Best Served Cold review (PS5)

Set against the backdrop of a crumbling, fictional European city teetering on the brink of chaos, Best Served Cold weaves its noir atmosphere into an original mix of social deduction and bartending simulation. Bukovie’s last speakeasy, “The Nightcap”, becomes a stage for class conflict, political intrigue, and personal drama – all told through a cast of 20 richly written characters. The setting is immediately compelling, with the juxtaposition of smoky jazz bars and social unrest giving the game a unique flavor that blends narrative adventure with light puzzle-solving and even some drink-making mechanics.

ION Shift review (Switch)

ION Shift, developed by Electro Soul Games and brought to the Nintendo Switch by Flynn’s Arcade, is a compact but demanding platformer that puts its own spin on genre conventions. Set aboard a hostile spaceship, you control an agile alien organism in a world packed with deadly drones, aggressive soldiers, and environmental traps. While the narrative is minimalistic and mostly functions as a framing device, the intense gameplay quickly takes center stage, with survival being the only real goal.

My Friendly Neighborhood review (PS5)

With its bizarre fusion of survival horror and nostalgic children’s television, My Friendly Neighborhood is a refreshingly original experience that’s now made it way onto the PlayStation 5. Developed by the Szymanski brothers and published by DreadXP, the game draws immediate comparisons to classics like Resident Evil while steering into its own offbeat lane with a puppet-filled world that feels part Sesame Street, part fever dream. What might initially come across as quirky horror parody soon reveals itself as a tightly designed, cleverly unsettling game that’s more than just a gimmick.

Killing Floor 3 review (PS5)

Killing Floor 3 on PlayStation 5 arrives as a faithful successor to the franchise’s signature blend of gory cooperative action and wave-based FPS combat, but while it builds confidently on familiar foundations, its evolution is cautious. Set in a grim cyberpunk future where the Nightfall resistance fights to stop Horzine’s grotesque experiments, the game offers a satisfying combat loop that fans of the series will instantly recognize and appreciate. However, those hoping for more innovation may find themselves underwhelmed by the safe design choices, even if it’s a very polished game. Continue reading “Killing Floor 3 review (PS5)”
