Everspace 2: Galactic Edition (Switch 2) Review
I’m always impressed when a studio takes a big swing with a sequel, especially when your audience would be happy with more of the same. Everspace was a decent roguelite, but Everspace 2 feels like a far grander adventure since…

SiN: Reloaded (PS5) Review
SiN is a game I have a soft spot for. It’s a strange artefact from a time when what would become the modern cinematic shooter was still in its awkward teenage years. Built using the Quake 2 engine and released…

Thrice, Cardiff Tramshed, 13/3/2026
The last time I saw Thrice, I called it a transcendental experience, and I stick by that claim. It’s hard to find a band that has had such a seismic shift in sound over the years and still managed to…

La Dispute Cardiff Tramshed 20/02/2026
Seeing La Dispute is often described as a religious experience. Stood in the gathering mass at Cardiff’s Tramshed, waiting for the sermon to begin, the banners on the stage reading “be welcome now in it, in tunnels of light” made…

Despelote (Switch) Review – Hits harder

The Pet Shop Boys – Nonetheless Review
I am thirty-nine years old. My introduction to most of my favourite bands was my fifteen-year-senior older brother, who would return from Birmingham University and beyond with an eclectic collection of vinyl, cassettes, and, soon after, gasp, compact discs. I…
