From its opening moments, Kill It With Fire 2 makes no attempt to disguise what it is: a gleefully exaggerated spree of spider extermination that hops across dimensions with the subtlety of a rocket launcher. tinyBuild and Casey Donnellan Games return to the premise that made the original a cult curiosity, but expand its scope into a PlayStation 5 outing that channels slapstick destruction through haunted manors, cyberspace realms and even full-scale kaiju showdowns. It’s an instantly readable setup, and they lean into it with enough confidence that the absurdity becomes part of the charm rather than a distraction.

A Pizza Delivery review (PS5)
A Pizza Delivery follows “B”, a pizza delivery rider on her final run, through a surreal and shifting world. The journey quickly moves beyond simple errands, exploring liminal spaces where landscapes fluctuate between quiet pastoral scenes and abstract, unsettling architecture. Each encounter hints at personal stories of regret, longing, or small joys, with the simple act of sharing a slice of pizza acting as a bridge between the rider and the inhabitants of this strange realm. The premise invites reflection, offering a narrative that is as much about atmosphere and mood as it is about the delivery task itself. Continue reading “A Pizza Delivery review (PS5)”
DLC roundup: Halls of Torment, Railway Empire 2 & Autobahn Police Simulator 3
We’re checking out three new DLC releases today. From Chasing Carrots’ Halls of Torment, which deepens its gothic survival loop with The Boglands’ swampy decay mechanics, to Kalypso’s Railway Empire 2, which heads east with the culturally rich Steel Dragons expansion, each pack builds on solid foundations with focused tweaks and regional flavour. Autobahn Police Simulator 3 joins the wave with its Speed Trap and Police Motorcycle add-ons, extending the life of its motorway patrols through a mix of methodical enforcement and high-speed pursuit. None of these releases rewrite their respective formulas, but together they highlight how well-judged content drops can refine, vary, and reenergise established games without losing sight of what made them work in the first place.

The One Ring RPG – Over Hill and Under Hill Starter Set & Realms of the Three Rings review
Free League’s Over Hill and Under Hill starter set for The One Ring is a tightly packaged invitation to Middle-earth that gets a surprising amount right for its modest price, and the latest add-on that is Realms of the Three Rings expands the tone and scope in a way that rewards groups who want to press deeper into Tolkien’s quieter, melancholy corners. The starter box offers a complete, coherent introductory campaign that begins in Bree and pushes a fellowship into the lonely wilds of northern Eriador; it deliberately trades blockbuster spectacle for slow-burn dread and fellowship-focused play, and the result is a game that feels faithful to the source text even when it exposes some practical omissions and design compromises. Realms of the Three Rings, by contrast, leans into lore and atmosphere – mapping Rivendell, Lórien and Lindon in useful detail, giving the Loremaster Sauron-adjacent schemes to run, and offering rules for Playable High Elves and Elf-lords that widen the game’s emotional register and tactical palette.

Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening review (PS5)
It’s been a long time coming, but Cobra has finally made the leap to modern gaming. Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening marks the first full adaptation of Buichi Terasawa’s classic anime series on current consoles, and on paper it’s a dream project: a mix of side-scrolling action, platforming, and larger-than-life boss battles wrapped in the charismatic style of its space-pirate antihero. The result is a game that is both faithful to its source material and somewhat uneven in execution, delivering a nostalgic ride that occasionally struggles to stand tall against today’s best action-platformers.
