You needed super quick reaction times back in the ‘90s, when shoot ‘em ups were the flavour of the day. My reactions were never good enough, but I applauded anyone I saw playing them in the arcade. Since then, there haven’t been as many, but what have been have typically been well received. Can this latest one join their ranks? Find out today as Sophstar releases on Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.
All seemed quiet on the KEMCO front with recent releases drying up. However, they are here once again with a very retro looking RPG. Can it deliver with classic gameplay too? Find out as Dragon Prana releases today on Xbox and PC.

The year is 2022. Almost 18 months have passed since the Xbox Series X released and I would still argue the power of this console hasn’t really been tested. But it doesn’t look like it will be tested any time soon either, as I will be too busy playing this next game. Bit Orchard: Animal Valley releases today on Xbox, Nintendo Switch.
The indie space is where you can find all manner of retro love letters to classic videogames. As AAA continues the trend to 100-hour open-world live-service epics, the game genres many of us grew up with are being kept alive in indie games. But sometimes these indie games do such a good job, you have to check and see if they aren’t a port of an existing game from that period. That was what I did with the trailer for Super Cyborg. And you can find out how true to the classics it is as Super Cyborg releases today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
