When we first looked at Sumerian Six, the game had just launched on PC and immediately caught our attention as a confident throwback to the golden era of real-time stealth tactics. Developed by Artificer and published by Devolver Digital, the game blended pulpy World War II storytelling with clever squad-based abilities and intricate level design that rewarded experimentation. Since then, the game has expanded beyond its original platform and is now available on consoles as well. Curious to see how the transition would work for a genre traditionally associated with mouse-and-keyboard play, we checked out the PlayStation 5 version to see how well the experience translates to a controller. If you enjoy games like Shadow Gambit and Desperados III, this one’s for you. Continue reading “Sumerian Six review (PC/PS5)”

Three decades on from its original release, Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition arrives as both celebration and concession: a tribute that lovingly preserves the roots of Ubisoft’s limbless hero, yet feels curiously content to stay rooted almost entirely in the past. Rather than celebrating Rayman from a wider perspective, Digital Eclipse’s package places the very first entry at the forefront. Available here in five different incarnations, Rayman comes with both modern conveniences and archival flourishes. It’s a pleasure to witness this cornerstone of platforming history made playable on current hardware again, but it’s equally a shame that the anniversary hinges so much on a single title, with precious little extension beyond it.

Recent console ports continue to blur the line between preservation, reinvention, and simple accessibility, with a wave of PS5 releases bringing everything from cult curiosities to tactical classics back into the spotlight. From the rhythm-infused twin-stick experimentation of Look Mum No Computer, to the politically charged mech warfare of Front Mission 3: Remake, and the cosy co-op puzzle-platforming of Jelly & Toast, these arrivals highlight just how varied the modern porting landscape is. Some aim to refine and modernise beloved foundations, others simply offer a new platform for discovery, but all reflect the ongoing push to give both old ideas and niche concepts fresh life on current hardware.

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.
