Baseless review (PS5)

There’s a certain reckless charm to Baseless – a confidence in its own chaos. From the moment you grip the controller, you realize you’re not playing a typical twin-stick shooter. Movement isn’t about simply walking or strafing; here, your gun is your engine and means of propulsion. Fire at the ground and be hurled across low-gravity spheres, gravity wells tugging you in unpredictable arcs. It’s a premise that sounds playful, maybe even cartoonish (Sacre Blue on the Switch comes to mind), but once you dive in, it becomes clear: Baseless is unapologetically ambitious, friendly-looking on the surface but beneath it, a beast begging to be tamed.

MARVEL Cosmic Invasion review (PS5/Switch)

When Tribute Games and Dotemu join forces (again) with Marvel to build a fresh beat-’em-up for the modern era, expectations naturally run high. With MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, the teams deliver on many of those hopes – especially if your idea of fun is chaotic co-op slug-fests, nostalgic pixel-art flair and a roster packed with familiar faces. That said, the game doesn’t completely escape the limitations of its genre, and its ambitions sometimes feel just a bit too restrained. Continue reading “MARVEL Cosmic Invasion review (PS5/Switch)”

BROK the InvestiGator – The Brawl Bar review (PS5)

BROK: The Brawl Bar arrives on PlayStation 5 as a standalone slice of brawling chaos, spun out from what originally began life as planned DLC. That origin is still felt in its structure: this is a compact, challenge-driven offshoot rather than a narrative continuation of Brok’s detective escapades, trading mystery for arcade-style mayhem. Its premise is simple but appealing – Brok stumbles upon a hidden underground bar, slips back into fighting instinct, and climbs a ladder of increasingly outlandish trials. The setup isn’t trying to deliver big dramatic turns, but it has enough gritty humour and personality to give the action a backdrop with charm.

Saborus review (PS5)

High Room Studio’s Saborus, published by QUByte Interactive, opens on an audacious conceit: the player inhabits a single, terrified chicken attempting to flee a functioning slaughterhouse. That premise – equal parts satire and bleak parable – gives the project a clear moral edge and a distinctive identity that few contemporary indies dare to wear so openly. The decision to limit the avatar’s capabilities to what a real bird might plausibly manage (running, hiding, pecking at small objects) is central to the game’s intended tension: vulnerability becomes the mechanic, and dread is meant to follow.

Superman 5 Film Collection review (4K)

The newly released Superman – 5 Film Collection lands just in time to remind fans and newcomers alike what made the early Superman movies such benchmarks for the superhero genre – and at the same time, to stake a claim for the latest 2025 incarnation of the Man of Steel. This 5-disc 4K UHD gathers together the four original films (from 1978–1987) plus the brand-new 2025 movie – a first for any Superman boxed set. Where prior collections stopped at the classics (sometimes with alternate cuts), this edition marks a rare moment: legacy and reinvention, side by side, under one roof. And while the original’s Donner cut was considered the fifth movie in the earlier set, it’s still included here – so there’s great value for money too.
