Mines And Magic (Steam) – Review

Mines and Magic is a tower defence auto-battler with a resource economy-focused game style. It was developed and produced by Zolden Games and initially released in 2018, but before that, it was a game mode in Starcraft II. Apparently. I never played it. Mines and Magic is currently in early

BMX Gravel (Steam) – Review

Imaginings Software is on the scene with its first PC release, ‘BMX Gravel’. BMW Gravel is a side-scrolling, psychics-based, obstacle course game where you need to ride your BMX bike through 5 stages and make sure you don’t run out of lives stacking it or you will be starting from

Persona 3 Reload (Playstation 5) – Review

Some games have timeless appeal. ATLUS and P Studio’s phenomenal JRPG, Persona 3, released on PlayStation 2 in 2006, is one of those games. Fast-forward to now, and Persona 3 Reload is ready to bring it to modern gaming, completely remade, revamped, and ready to rumble. I eagerly booted up

Enshrouded (Steam Early Access) – Review

I’m a sucker for a good survival RPG with an open world and Enshrouded has not disappointed. Developed and published by German studio Keen Games GmbH, Enshrouded was released via early access this month. If the online chatter around the future of the game holds any truth, this title has

Pepper Grinder (DEMO) – Preview

Pepper Grinder is a game about drilling, but it isn’t a mining game or a sim; it’s 2D Side-Scrolling Platforming at its best. I had the chance to revisit the island after my previous outing in August 2023 of the upcoming title from Ahr Ech and publisher Devolver Digital, which

Penny’s Big Breakaway (Steam) – Preview

Have you ever wanted to use a Yo-Yo as a weapon or a swinging device? Wait, even ride it? When I see ‘Penny’s Big Breakaway’ developed by Evening Star, I see a resemblance of ‘Ratchet and Clank’ from my childhood; going on adventures fighting, running, finding collectibles and coins throughout

Children Of The Sun (Steam) – Preview

I find little more joy after a tough day than sitting down with an excellent shooter to unleash some stress. “Children of the Sun” by the super small dev team of René Rother and publisher Devolver Digital provide the punchy joys of a shooter with a focus on a more

Computer Repair Shop (Steam) – Review

Sometimes when I go into a game with certain expectations of what it is going to be like, I’m left so completely dumbfounded by the absolute journey the title has put me through when I put it down for the first time. “Computer Repair Shop,” developed and published by Turkish

Go Mecha Ball (Xbox Series X) – Review

‘Go Mecha Ball’, more like Go Mecha HELL! YEAH!

Phantom Abyss (Steam) – Review

I never considered a cursed temple filled with traps an excellent place to find oneself. Phantom Abyss proves that despite this, exploring trap-filled chambers makes for a pretty good video game. Team WIBY and the champs at Devolver Digital set a platforming challenge that takes relic hunting to the next

TEKKEN 8 (Playstation 5) – Review

Since its humble beginnings in 1994, the ‘Tekken’ series has been one of the premiere fighting games at the arcades, home consoles and esports events.

The Colour Purple (Movie) – Review

There are movies in this world that deal with topics and themes that will make people uncomfortable and that’s the whole point. The viewer is meant to feel what the characters feel, and really take stock in a situation, asking themselves how they would react if they were in place

Unstoppable (Steam) – Review

Seoul-based development team Funnylocks Corp has created the next adrenaline-pumping horror adventure game where you have one job and that is to escape Schindler Tower. You need to fight your way through the hordes of infected workers and use whatever you can get your hands on to survive, and not

The Cub (Playstation 5) – Review

Humanity has been in talks of heading to the stars for quite some time now. “The Cub” is one of these such games where living out of space has become a reality, but this is not a story of life on Mars, but the life of those left behind on

Tribe: Primitive Builder (Steam) – Review

Colony-building simulators are one of my favourite genres in gaming, especially when they allow you to put your little guys to work. Tribe: Primitive Builder, an indie title, is a perfect example of the unnecessary need for a big studio budget to make something incredible. A collaborative effort by three
