Section 13 (PS5) | REVIEW | It's Goundhog's Day at Area 51 ... er, I Mean Section 13!!!

Enter Katherine (aka Red), an overly anxious employee of a secret agency not unlike that of Area 51. That agency being Section 13, as the title suggests. Getting a call from HQ Katherine is urged to get to work fast as there's been an incident, and she is needed for the job. Looking forward to climbing the corporate ladder Katherine heads out to Arizona to do her duty in service of her employer in hopes of getting a better paying position. What she doesn't know is that she's already caught up in the incident in a sort of Groundhog's Day phenomenon in which every death has the involved employees returning to the scene to deal with a threat. That threat being a Nephilim, and the army of mutated workers plagued by it's presence.

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo (PS5) | REVIEW | Yoyovania That Lands the Tricks!!!

Morally grey business monopolies usually aren't the heroic entities known for doing good, or being on the receiving end of bad competition. In the case of the energy monopoly in Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo though this is definitely the case. As a monopolistic energy provider that utilizes special roses for electricity Pipstrello Industries controls the energy grid. They dictate the high prices, and everyone either pays up or does without. Of course this leads to bitter rivalries, and in this case that rival interest shows up one day using one of Pipistrello's own experimental energy devices to put into the play their takeover. 

Showing up at the Pipestrello estate these financially motivated fiends unleash an attack on the Aunt in charge of business in an attempt to steal her soul and use it to power-up their batteries for a infinite supply of energy. With Pippit on the scene, the nephew with an interest in Yoyo tricks, this plan is ultimately thwarted, but not without transplanting part of the aunt's soul into Pippit's yoyo. Hence the cursed part of this game's title. It is with this unlikely duo that they aim to reclaim the Aunt's soul, and return power to the Pipistrello family.

Nice Day For Fishing (PS5) | REVIEW | Catch Of The Day?

Team17 is back on the scene with another worthwhile indie inspired experience. This time they are tackling fishing, and using said theme as the core gameplay mechanic. The game or RPG in question, being that of Nice Day For Fishing, baits the audience with a unique fantasy adventure featuring a kingdom called Azerim and a little village within known as Honeywood that is filled with self-aware NPCs. This includes a particular fisherman named Baelin who just so happens to find himself as the lead hero of this fishy tale. 

As Baelin, a fisherman with a catchphrase one-liner about it being a nice day for fishing you'll find yourself minding your own business while making your routine rounds in the town of Honeywood. During said routine you are caught up, rather unwillingly, in the resident sorcerer's shenanigans. This leads to the unleashing of a Lovecraftian horror, and the disconnecting of all the online adventurers. In turn leaving the town of quest giving NPCs in a dire predicament. Without adventurers they have no one to fulfill their quest requests, and without them doing so they cannot rebuild their town from the destruction that was inflicted upon it. This is where Baelin steps in as the sole adventurer, a freak result of the unleashing of the sorcerer's ancient scroll and it's old god.
