Catsperience – Review

Have you ever wondered why cats like to punt any breakable object off any available surface and watch it smash? I’ve always imagined it was something to do with the demonic presence writhing around just behind their eyes, an almost out-of-body experience that allowed the devil to raise their paw

Maid Of Sker – Review

Picture this, it’s 1898 and you are relaxing by the fire in your Welsh cottage and you receive a letter from your girlfriend. A simple request, journey to her family’s lovely Hotel on Sker Island and bring her home. Slightly nervous as you have never met her family, you pack

Subnautica: Below Zero – Review

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Not today, folks. Today it’s me ridin’ a god damn meteor into a planet so a corrupt ass mega-corporation can’t track me! Yee-haw! Grab your wetsuits and follow me, ’cause we are about to ride this meteor straight into

Siege Survival: Gloria Victis – Review

As a game focused wholly on its story, Siege Survival: Gloria Victis is very invested in its character development and accuracy in its time and theme. Blackeye Games and FishTankStudio have successfully ventured out and created a game that is very entertaining with its strategical and over-thinking genre allowing you

Boomerang X – Preview

Developed by Dang! And published by Devolver Digital, ‘Boomerang X’ has no planned release date on Steam, which breaks my heart because I couldn’t recommend this game enough. Boomerang X is all about small/medium/big arena fights with a boomerang that you get to toss and teleport while using a couple

Size Matters – Review

This is it, my friends. Definitive proof that, despite what many of my partners have tried to reassure me, size really does matter. At least it certainly does when you’re a rapidly shrinking scientist doing your best to concoct a cure! Brought to us by the developers at Mazen Games,

Space Otter Charlie – Review

In a world of modern-day shooters, smash and grab PVP, and intense story-driven action-adventure games, the classic puzzle platformers tend to take a backseat, but rummage around behind the seats and you’ll often find some long, lost gems hidden away. Such is the game of Space Otter Charlie; a blink-and-you’ll-regret-you-missed-it

What Comes After – Review

“What Comes After” by Rolling Glory Jam and Fahmitsu, isn’t an incredibly long game but it is a game that will make you look at the world for the better, something we all definitely need in this trying time. What Comes After opens up the heart and the mind; a

Trader Life Simulator – Review

Designed and published by Mohammed Qasrawi, and released on the 22nd February 2021 there is a lot this game needs to work on in terms of a proper tutorial, and almost nothing to guide you in this “ascend-to-the-top-like” trading game. However, let’s get into the finer details. You wake up,

GENSOU Skydrift – Review

Developed by illuCalab and published by Phoenixx Inc GENSOU SkyDrift is an anime-style 3D racing game. Now I am going to need you to keep an open mind even if you are a weeb, this is a decent game. When I first looked at this game I was not expecting

Loop Hero – Review

Since last visiting Loop Hero in preview, I can safely say there aren’t any major updates to their addictive strategy game other than the obvious extra end game content. Thank god, as this is one game that I originally enjoyed for the unique plot points for the characters and the

Breathedge – Review

There’s an old saying that goes: “Never judge a book by its cover”. I’m sure you’ve heard that line before, right? If not, it basically means appearances can be deceiving. Well, the cover art for this game is definitely deceiving. You may be hindered by the image of an astronaut

Ashes – Review

Now to start this off, this is my first PC review. I’m slowly learning the enjoyment that is associated with PC gaming despite leaving some of my team behind. Sorry but not sorry. ‘Ashes’ is a first-person narrative with melee combat game released back in 2018 and developed and published

Mutropolis – Review

It is the year 5000 and Earth has been lost to a cataclysmic event whilst humanity fled to the safety of other planets… how’s that for an introduction!

Roombo: First Blood – Review

I always wanted a Roomba and still do to this day. My parents had one and this little self-automated vacuum cleaner had a bloody mind of its own it seemed. We’d often come home and find it doing donuts in the corner of the room as if it had decided

Skater XL – Review
