White Shadows Review (Game Reviews) (Reviews)

Review by Warren Woodhouse

Rating: 8/10
Difficulty: Depending on if you want to platinum the game on the PS5, 2-3 hours
Type: Puzzle; Steampunk; Platformer; Indie

I saw the trailer in December of 2025 and decided to take a chance on the game. Usually I’m not one to jump into a unknown game by an unknown developer but sometimes I do.

I found it rather enjoyable, sometimes stressful with timing of the jumps, especially to complete certain puzzles but otherwise entertaining and fun. I would personally love to see a spin-off, sequel or a prequel at some point.

Tin-Pot Empire (Phrases)

A tin-pot empire is a small, weak or fake-seeming realm or organisation led by someone who acts very important but lacks real power. The phrase uses "tin-pot" to mean cheap, flimsy and low quality while combined with the word "empire" to mock a grand rule that is actually tiny and silly.

Slakebuster Trophy - Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Guide

Guide by Warren Woodhouse

To trigger Drax's Call-to-Action against the Slakebeast, you’ll need to weaken the beast in Chapter 3 by lowering the beasts health until it’s very low or until you’ve filled up the Stagger meter, wait for a random Triangle button prompt upon staggering it and then press the Triangle button when Drax steps up to perform the move. The Call-to-Action is chosen at random, if this happens, just reload your last checkpoint. If you’re struggling to unlock this trophy, you can low your difficulty level and then wait until your other Guardians have fell down during combat, so that Drax becomes active again.
