Back in 2019, Team17 entered the ‘Adventure Jam 2019’ with a short game created by the team in their spare time. The game was, and still is, free and people seemed to love the concept – including many YouTubers – resulting in everyone asking the…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you awoke in the body of a Shiba Inu (the ‘Doge dog’), directing the mindless spirits of fallen humans around various maze-like stages as you guide them into the light? If you have then you’re…
NIS America has embraced the PlayStation 5, re-releasing a selection of their games on the new hardware to take advantage of higher framerates and/or resolutions. We’ve previously seen Void Terrarium++ and Ys VIII come over to Sony’s current-gen system, with The Caligula Effect 1 and…
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened was originally released on PC back in 2007, with a ‘remastered’ version launching a year later which introduced a first-person mode and a number of graphical and mechanical upgrades. It was the third Sherlock game from Frogwares and their first story…

Over the last few years I’ve reviewed a few games in the Ys series, both Ys IX: Monstrum Nox and Ys: Memories of Celceta. The former has an enhanced PS5 version due for release next year and the latter was an enhanced port of the…
I was kindly provided with a review copy for The Chant the day before release, a game that I’ve seen advertised a few times yet purposely stayed clear of any information so I could go into it blind. Without giving too much away at this…
Three years ago, in May 2019, Asobo Studio and Focus Entertainment unleashed A Plague Tale: Innocence upon the world – a stealth-focused adventure game that combined a captivating narrative with solid gameplay and rats, a lot of rats… Today the sequel has finally arrived, A Plague…
The late ’90s and early 2000s was the golden era of 3D platforming, the genre was in its infancy with many developers trying their hand at either making new IPs in this format or transitioning existing franchises into it. Some were incredibly successful, such as…
Do you suffer from hay fever yet wish you could straddle a magnificent vegetation-trimming machine and give a close-shave haircut to an overgrown garden without the fear of having an allergic reaction? Perhaps you live in the UK and only have a small patch of…
There are a few games that I’ve been hoping will eventually get released on a console other than the Nintendo Switch – I have nothing against the hybrid console, but I’d rather play games at their full potential on platforms with more power. One such…
Back in 2015, Uppercut Games released a relaxing, casual exploration game called Submerged – a game that has no combat or dangers, just the enjoyment of sailing around a flooded city (due to global warming) as you climb and investigate half-sunken buildings. Five years later,…
Back in 2016, COWCAT Games released Demetrios – The BIG Cynical Adventure on PC and the PlayStation Vita. The following year it branched out to the Xbox One and PS4 platforms, offering free Cross-buy on Sony’s devices, with iOS and Android getting the game in…
I loved The Town of Light, a psychological narrative adventure game based on real events and situations which took place within the horrific mental health institutes back in the 1930s. It was a thriller that relied on its brilliant writing and atmospheric environments in order…
I’m one of the few people who really enjoyed Dynasty Warriors 9, I put over 160 hours into that game in order to claim the platinum almost exactly four years ago when I reviewed it (Here). Despite the criticism and hate the game was subjected…
I’m a massive fan of point-and-click games, whether they’re presented as the genre suggests (where you point and click) or modernised into a 3D style akin to the popular Telltale games. Over the last few years, we’ve seen a few reboots, such as Black Mirror,…
I’ve never really been a big fan of flight-based combat games, especially ones set in space, but after playing the brilliant Falconeer earlier this year, I grew very fond of the dogfighting genre. Chorus (also spelt as CHORVS) stood out for me since the first…
Two months ago I was given the opportunity to preview Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One, a new open-world adventure for the titular detective. The preview only gave me access to a limited number of side missions and a small portion of the main storyline, yet it…
The original Life is Strange was released back in 2015 as a five-part episodic narrative adventure game in the vein of current Telltale releases. A few years later (2017/18) we saw Life is Strange: Before the Storm, a three-part episodic prequel to the events we…
Just over a year ago, on October 23rd 2020, Pumpkin Jack was released on the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, just in time for Halloween. However, the PlayStation 4 version was delayed at the last minute and skipped the entire spooky season, coming to…
A few generations ago, my choice of console was the Xbox 360 – mainly due to the exclusives – yet I was never really a fan of stealth, horror, or spooky games, so I never had any interest in trying out Alan Wake when it…
**Update: you can check out our full review of the PS5 version, here: https://www.gamepitt.co.uk/sherlock-holmes-chapter-one-ps5-review/** Everyone knows who Sherlock Holmes is, he’s probably the most well-known and recognisable fictional character of the last few centuries. He’s been portrayed in many different styles through movies, books, TV…
Back in January 2018, Wild Sphere released Timothy vs. the Aliens exclusively on the PlayStation 4 thanks to their partnership with PlayStation Talents. Earlier this year, the game finally made its way to both the PC and the Nintendo Switch, with a few highly requested…
It feels like forever since I first saw Hades, it was announced back in 2018 at The Game Awards as one of the first titles to launch on the newly released Epic Games Store as a one-year timed Early Access exclusive. Twelve months later it…

Do you remember Skyrim, the RPG from Bethesda which has appeared on pretty much every platform in the universe – including as a ‘choose your own adventure’ on Alexa devices? Well, if you played it on PC and dabbled around with the various mods you…
A few weeks ago 4A Games and Deep Silver released a free ‘next-gen’ edition of Metro Exodus, an upgrade that takes advantage of the new consoles in order to deliver the game that the developers envisioned without last-gen hardware holding it back (visually). We were…
I love games that give you a reason to replay them, not only for new trophies but to observe new events and give context to things you may not have originally understood. The Quiet Man did this, despite many people criticising it due to them…
This weekend I’ve been playing Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, the most wholesome and delightful game I’ve experienced this year. It’s a game that instantly caught my eye when I saw it was coming to the PS5, with its bright colours, casual and relaxing gameplay, and…
In July last year, Wales Interactive released the incredibly tense and scary Maid of Sker, a horror game in which you must explore an abandoned hotel whilst avoiding blind enemies with enhanced hearing abilities. I initially gave the game a go, found myself becoming too…
Sometimes, great things come in small packages. This well-known phrase perfectly describes the game I’ve been obsessed with over the last week, void tRrLM();++ //Void Terrarium++. The game itself is a measly 366MB when installed upon the PlayStation 5, yet it took just over 30…
Have you ever had your mind blown by a puzzle game? Perhaps you’ve sat there in awe at the simplistic beauty of an artistic game? Or maybe found yourself confused and stuck because a game contains many challenging solutions that require you to sit back…
When Call of the Sea was announced last year, during Xbox’s digital event, it instantly piqued my interest; a Lovecraftian mystery game with puzzles, exploration and adventure, but no horror aspect! However, seeing as it was only coming to PC and Xbox platforms, I had…
Back in November 2019, Terminator: Resistance launched on the PS4, Xbox One, and Steam platforms, a new story set within the iconic franchise that tells the story of one man who’s deeply involved within the ‘future war’. I never had the chance to play the…
Back in June 2019, I played and reviewed Judgment, a mystery thriller action-adventure game from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (the developers behind the incredible Yakuza series). Today, the game has leapt from its PlayStation 4 exclusivity and landed on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X…
It’s been a few weeks since Balan Wonderworld released, a game that seems to have received a lot of negative coverage from the press and a mixed reception from gamers – but was this justified? The game is clearly aimed at a younger audience, with…
Josef Fares is back! The man with the wonderful and huge personality returns with his new co-op adventure via Hazelight Studios, this time with an experience that’s more fantastical and less-realistic than his previous two games. It Takes Two is an amalgamation of everything the…
In space, no one can hear you scream – unless you’re on the Black Hole Drop ride aboard the galactic utopia, Spacebase: Startopia! I’ve been waiting a while to get my hands on this game, I love the resource management and simulation genres, allowing you…
Back in November 2018, I reviewed Hitman 2, a brilliant sandbox murder simulation game which I quickly became obsessed with – playing it constantly to see how I can kill everyone in a new and creative way each time. The same thing happened when we…
On Thursday, Frogwares surprised everyone by announcing a remastered PS5 edition of their latest release, The Sinking City, which was set to launch at midnight that day, allowing people to experience the next-gen edition from Friday onwards. As a massive fan of the game, having…
I’ve owned the original Little Nightmares for a while now, had it sat in my library on the PS4 staring at me every time I’m looking for something to play. However, as I’m not a massive fan of stealth and running away from things, I…
Do you find road signs exciting? Have you ever casually sat there, staring at one of the many warning and informative metal plaques, thinking about what it would be like if you were the mini simplistic character unable to leave the boundaries of your flat…
Back in 2019 Remedy Entertainment introduced us to their greatest adventure yet, the story of Jesse, her strange brother, the other-worldly ‘Hiss’, and a mysterious old building which seems just as ‘alive’ as the horrors inhabiting it. Since its release, there has been two DLC…
It’s back! Hopefully you’re hungry for more as the stressfully hilarious and relationship-ending co-operative mayhem, that is Overcooked, is here on the latest generation of consoles, ready to take over your life all over again. Overcooked! All You Can Eat is a remastered version of…
The PlayStation 5 launched two months ago alongside a wide selection of upgraded games and enhanced remasters. Despite these taking advantage of the new power on offer, there were only a few games which were purposely built from the ground up to run specifically on…
Dirt 5 launched on ‘last-gen’ consoles on the 6th November, followed swiftly by an updated version on both the Xbox Series S|X and PS5 at the launch of the new generation. As we were kindly provided with the game pre-launch, our initial review (HERE) was…
I’ll try not to mention it too much but let’s face it, since its release back in 2015 the Silent Hills playable teaser, P.T, has inspired most horror games that came since. The reaction to it was insane and developers across the world used its…
Sometimes I just want to step away from realistic games, experiences which tug on my emotions, and puzzles which make my brain hurt, and I just want to play a game which is mindless, silly and bonkers – so I thought I’d try out Maneater!…
The year is 1996 and yours truly is but a young pup of 11 years old (but almost 12!) and ready to play any game you throw at me. My older brother, 13 at the time, has friends that also own a PlayStation and a…
In space, nobody can hear you scream. Unfortunately, in my flat pretty much everyone, including my neighbours, can! I’m not saying The Persistence is a scary game, but there were moments when I possibly yelled out quite a few profanities at the virtual feckers! So,…
Imagine the top-down, quick response gameplay of Hotline Miami mixed with the unstoppable Judge Dredd, performing his job by sentencing the criminals and freeing the innocent whilst destroying anything that gets in his way – Sounds good doesn’t it! This is what I felt while…
