Children Of The Sun (PC) – Review

“Children of the Sun” is a bizarre type of shooter game; it’s not particularly heavy on the fast-paced, action-heavy side of the shooter genre. Instead, it’s about thinking like a sniper. Created by developer, René Rother, and published by Devolver Digital, “Children of the Sun” encourages players to scope out

Jagged Alliance 3 – Review

Having bounced back and forth between countless publishers and developers since as early as 2004, Jagged Alliance 3 is finally released, with credit going to Publisher, THQ Nordic, and developer, Haemimont Games.

Homeseek – Review

‘Homeseek’ is a post-apocalyptic survival strategy game created by Traptics and published by The Iterative Collective. In Homeseek, the world has been destroyed by overpopulation, exploitation of the environment, and disregard for natural resources such as water, which is now worth more than gold.

Rough Justice: ’84 – Review

It’s 1984 and I feel like I’m in the middle of Miami Vice with corrupt police and crime running rampant in Seneca City. Every move you make could be your last as you try and build a Private Secret Agency with Hank. Detective Jim Baylor was falsely imprisoned, but once

Showgunners – Review

A gruesome game show set in a dystopian cyberpunk world? Count me in! Diving into this game was pretty exciting. I don’t usually take on turn-based games like this, but it definitely caught my attention. Developed by Artificer, Showgunners is turn-based tactical combat with some open exploring and puzzle aspects.

Terra Nil – Review

Industrial development is humanity’s way forward and there’s an abundance of city-builder games about it, but there aren’t many that focus on nature until Terra Nil. The last thing I expected from the creators of Broforce and a game about jousting with certain appendages was a game about rebuilding ecosystems,

SokoChess White – Review

We’ve already touched on the fact that I’m quite the nerd in podcasts and unboxing videos, and let’s face it, sitting in the school library on my lunch breaks playing Magic: The Gathering with friends back in the early 2000s didn’t exactly help that image. Sure, that kind of school

The Pioneers: Surviving Desolation – Review

Developed and published by Supercube, The Pioneers Surviving Desolation offers a simple-to-understand, yet challenging survival base-building game. Survival games, in general, are one of my favorite genres. This game is no exception, and even with it still in development and early access, there are some bugs here and there, yet
