The R-Type series recently reached the ripe old age of 35 years. In gaming terms, it is one of the old boys now, but this didn’t stop R-Type Final 2 coming out to strong reviews back in 2021. And the post-release has been consistent also. In fact, today even has two new sets of DLC

Severed Steel is in that category of games that chases a kind of bliss. It’s the bliss that comes from an exquisite flow between moves; the bliss of tapping only a few buttons, but pulling off the most overblown, balletic manoeuvers that give the impression – to a watcher perhaps – that you’re some kind

Who is buying all these 79p endless runners, and can they please stop?
