PSX throwback games are so hot right now. Lunistice hopes to recapture the magic of classic games but has A Grumpy Fox gone away and made the best Sonic game in decades?

Review | Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (PS5) - I'll Never Forget My Time Exploring The Isle of Seiren
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is nearly seven years old. It was great then but all this time later and having made the jump from handheld to 4K console, does it still hold up?
Henry Stockdale certainly thinks so.
Review | Arkanoid Eternal Battle - I'd Buy That For A Dollar
Arkanoid is a game that has seen countless releases and iterations over the years. However, now, 36 years later, publisher Microids is attempting to modernise this classic.
While the concept is sound, the asking price is anything but.
Broc Peterson reviews.
Review | The Pinball Wizard - Flipper Fingers
He wasn’t A pinball wizard. He was THE PINBALL WIZARD!
Does this genre mash-up hit the right notes? Or is it not much more than some fun wordplay?
We welcome Broc Peterson to the site for his first review.
Review | Dead Link - Shoot, Die, Repeat
A roguelike, retro-shooter with beefy guns and tough-as-nails combat? Sign up.
Deadlink is an Early Access title full of potential.
Scott McCrae reviews.
Review | Nitro Kid - Turbo? Nitro? What's The Difference?
Nitro Kid is the latest Steam Early Access hotness. But is this neon-drench-tactics-brawler more than the pastiches it pinches from so liberally?
Skeleton investigates.
Review | The Legend Of Heroes: Trails From Zero - PSP Perfection
There are very few JRPGs with as fervent of a cult following as The Legends of Heroes and very few games the fans (in the west) have been waiting so long to play as Trails From Zero. But over a decade later does Trails From Zero still hold up? Ruddy Celestial investigates.
Review | Saint Row (2022) - And Sinners
Saint Row hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts but now that the dust has settled a bit… Is it really that bad?
Matthew John McCormick has some thoughts and feelings on the series is needs to talk out.
Review | The Fridge Is Red - Wishing For A Mini-Fridge
There is no shortage of PSX-inspired horror games being released at the moment but every now and again, one nails the style so dead on it’s impossible not to be intrigued.
We welcome Angus Law to the site to review The Fridge Is Red and tell us if there’s substance behind the style.
Review | No Place For Bravery - Hyper Light Grifter
Same genre, inspired by, homage. When does it stop being flattery?
Skeleton thinks it is right here with No Place For Bravery
Review | Little Orpheus - An Adventure Too Big For A Small Screen
Little Orpheus made its debut on Apple Arcade in 2020 but now two years later it has come to consoles and PC. Does this mobile adventure hold up on the big screen?
Scot Nowbaveh lets us know.
Review | Cursed To Golf - Fire And Argyle
There is no greater hell than… well, Hell. But right after that comes watching golf for six hours.
Kate Robinson takes to the links again for the site to review this indie-sports-rogue-lite.
Review | Thymesia - A Spreading Sickness
Soul-like, souls-lite, Sekiro-surrogate, bloodborne-fawn… Ok, that last one doesn’t really work, but there are a hell of a lot of game that follow in the footsteps of Fromsoftware these days.
Thymesia is the latest game to come for the king’s crown and Tyler Denyer is here to let us know if it gets struckdown or if regicide is about to take place.
Review | I Was A Teenage Exocolonist - Almost Famous
I was a Teenage Exocolonist is an innovative, smart, deck-building life-sim. It is a game worth your time but its replayability might damage the your feelings towards the conclusion of your story.
Jamie Alexander reviews a game that is almost perfect.
Review | Out There: Oceans of Time - A Monotonous Expedition
Space. The embodiment of infinite possibility.
But in a game where anything is possible, there is plenty of room for failure.
We welcome Khee Hoon Chan to the site to review Out There: Oceans of Time.
Early Access Review | Turbo Golf Racing – Waving Green(way) Flags
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! [With golf vibes].
Turbo Golf Racing is exactly what it sounds like - Rocket League but golf. The question is though, “ Is it any good?”
Henry Stockdale takes to the links/racetrack for this review.
Review | Post Void (PC) - Bang. Bang. Bang.
Post Void has been out on PC for a while but Skeleton from deep-hell.com wanted to write about review it.
Who are we to say no?
Review | Cult of The Lamb - Devilishly Good
In a Summer with little in the way of game releases, why not pick up a book? Get a new hobby? Find religion?
Amy Eastland returns to the site with a review for Cult of The Lamb. Oh and a pamphlet, you should really check it out, interesting stuff.
Review | Mothmen 1966 - The Stuff of Nightmares
Unexplainable mysteries?! Cover-ups?! Strange encounters?!
What awaits those that seek out that which wishes not to be found?
Oma Keeling investigates in their review of Mothmen 1966.
Review | Coromon - Gotta Gather Them In Their Entirety
There are plenty of Poké-likes out there at the moment and it takes a lot to be the very best, the best there ever was.
Does the newly released Coromon have what it takes?
We welcome Scott Nowbaveh to let us know.
