The moment the SAND LAND demo dropped, I knew I had to play it. I’ve re-read the manga, and I know for a fact I’ll be watching the anime, all to get myself in the headspace of looking forward to the game. But has this swayed me in any way? Nobody knows. After downloading it on my PlayStation 5, I jumped …

The Devil Within: Satgat is a 2D platformer full of sword-fighting action developed by Newcore Games, located in South Korea, and published along with Astrolabe Games. The first thing I have to mention is that The Devil Within looks absolutely breathtaking; I haven’t seen a title that looks this beautiful in a while! The opening cinematic is epic and quickly …
