Steel Seed Review (PS5) – Stealth and Sudden Violence - Finger Guns

3 weeks ago | fingerguns.net | Toby Andersen

Steel Seed looks and plays like an extended run through those dark machine-built cauldrons of Horizon Zero Dawn. Massive yet claustrophobic spaces that only a machine intelligence would dream up and no human was ever really meant to traverse. With your very cool-looking glitch-sword in tow, you’ll be platforming your way through a labyrinth of giga-architecture and ridiculously tight spaces and either assassinating unsuspecting robots, or fighting through the hordes.

Lords Of The Fallen 2.0 Launches with Free Friend Pass and 50+ Updates

1 month ago | fingerguns.net | Toby Andersen |Ross Keniston |Miles Thompson

These days, when a game launches, that’s never the end of the story. We reviewed Lords Of The Fallen back in October 2023, and were impressed with its style, visuals, and combat, giving it a healthy 8 out of 10, but since then we’ve been sleeping the sleep of the dead, with no Umbral Lamp to revive us.

Koira Review (PS5) - Journey, But With A Dog

1 month ago | fingerguns.net | Miles Thompson |Joshua Thompson |Toby Andersen

Remember Journey? Of course you do. At this point, it’s as ubiquitous in the video game space as a Call of Duty or FIFA. Well, relatively speaking, of course. Studio Tolima have taken all the hallmarks of that 2012 indie classic and reimagined it to focus on the environment, plight of animal life, and an adorable pup companion. Its nose quite literally lights up the way – what more needs to be said?
Centum Review (PS5) - A Reliably Unreliable Review

1 month ago | fingerguns.net | Joshua Thompson |Toby Andersen |Miles Thompson

Few games succeed in challenging expectations. There’s an inherent patience asked of the player to sit with something perplexing, and for Centum, this is a big ask. On the surface, the game is a point-and-click adventure meets an escape room. However, it tries to deliver way more than just a comparable point-and-click, as the game strives to subvert how we look at AI, life and the medium of games.
The Next Trails Game Has Been Announced

1 month ago | fingerguns.net | Toby Andersen |Miles Thompson |Joshua Thompson

Trails Through Daybreak II has been out just over a month and true to form, that means Falcom need to throw their next game at you. Trails Beyond The Horizon. Most of us have barely finished the last one before a new trailer hits your eyeballs, spoiling everything. If you haven’t finished Daybreak II, fair warning, maybe don’t watch the trailer below, but for everyone else, feast your eyes.
KARMA: The Dark World Review (PS5) - Get What You Deserve

1 month ago | fingerguns.net | Miles Thompson |Joshua Thompson |Toby Andersen

Memory is a funny old thing. One moment you can recall an event with almost perfect clarity, then all of a sudden without realising, the details go fuzzy, the structure doesn’t line up, and we claw at the previous ability we had to remember it. KARMA: The Dark World is a first-person psychological horror game that absorbs itself in the endless possibility of memories. In a world where people can re-live the past events of others, almost nothing is off limits.
The First Berserker: Khazan Review (PS5) - Rock The Khaz(an) Bar

1 month ago | fingerguns.net | Miles Thompson |Joshua Thompson |Toby Andersen |Greg Hicks

The First Berserker: Khazan plays like an amalgamation of all the spin offs of the Souls genre. The level structure and loot of Nioh, the dark fantasy roots of Berserk and Bloodborne, anime visuals akin to Code Vein. If you can name a motif that’s been inspired from Miyazaki’s seminal series, chances are you’ll find it here too. However, to call The First Berserker: Khazan a mere imitation of other titles would be to do it a massive disservice, a mistake I’d implore people not to make.
Wanderstop Review (PS5) - A Good Cuppa

1 month ago | fingerguns.net | Joshua Thompson |Toby Andersen |Greg Hicks |Ross Keniston

Much of what gets labelled the trendy moniker of cosy game are titles that do a decent job of checking the familiar boxes, more so than feeling like a refreshing cup of tea. The buzzword has felt a little diluted in recent years. And whilst there isn’t anything inherently wrong with X game having X setting but “make it cosy” as a premise, I now have a bit of trepidation before going into anything labelled as such.
