Antro is a game that wears its artistic angle on its sleeve. Set in a post-collapse world where society survives in a vertical underground dystopia beneath what was once Barcelona, Gatera Studio’s debut blends platforming and rhythm-infused action with a striking message about oppression, resistance, and expression. It’s as much about parkour and music as it is about sparking a revolution – and though not every element lands equally well, it’s an experience that commands attention.

Ruffy and the Riverside review (PS5)
At a glance, Ruffy and the Riverside may look like another lighthearted 3D platformer in the mold of classic mascot adventures with a striking visual style, but it only takes a few minutes with its reality-bending SWAP mechanic to realize that Zockrates Laboratories has come up with something far more inventive. Built around the idea that you can literally copy and paste textures from one object to another – turning lava into ice or waterfalls into climbable vines – the game doesn’t just invite creativity, it demands it. Played on a PlayStation 5, the experience is very imaginative, and fun despite a few rough edges. Continue reading “Ruffy and the Riverside review (PS5)”
Front Mission 3: Remake review (Switch)
Forever Entertainment’s remake of Front Mission 3 arrives at a time when tactical RPGs are seeing a welcome resurgence, but it also carries the weight of expectations from fans who remember the original as one of the genre’s cornerstones. With the original’s complex storyline, layered mech customization, and branching campaign paths, this was always going to be one of the trickier titles in the Front Mission series to modernize. The Nintendo Switch version does a respectable job bringing the game into the current generation, and should be a welcome title for those who enjoyed the previous remakes.

Still Wakes the Deep – Siren’s Rest review (PS5)
Still Wakes the Deep made waves earlier this year with its intensely atmospheric blend of narrative horror and environmental storytelling. With Siren’s Rest, The Chinese Room returns to the haunted wreck of the Beira D — only this time, players experience its horrors from a new perspective: that of Mhairi, a diver sent into the ocean’s abyss to uncover the truth behind the rig’s mysterious fate. It’s a DLC that doesn’t reinvent the core gameplay loop but expands the game’s setting and emotional resonance in clever and deeply unsettling ways, but it’s also very much on the short side.
