‘Rise of the Ronin’, a 2024 ARPG, by Team Ninja, is finally on PC and developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES. With a release on PC plagued with woeful dramas due to a rumored stuttering issue, I was concerned when tasked with tackling this otherwise highly acclaimed PS5 title. I remained

Outer Brains Studios has thought out of the box with ‘Blood Typers’, a survival horror, retro-styled adventure game but with a twist. The only way to complete the game is to type, so you have to learn to type quickly. This game was lots of fun from start to finish,

If the game’s
Glum—what better word describes my feelings after playing ‘GLUM’? Maybe that was the intention of developer and publisher CinderCat Games, but after spending three hours playing the demo, as much as I wanted to have fun with GLUM, I never found it. Glum is a goblin minion whose overlord has
Have you ever wanted to play ‘Super Meat Boy’ with combat? No, neither have I, but now I have you thinking, would that even work? How would that work? Would Peter pick pickled peppers with or without gloves? Some of these questions I can answer for you after playing the
Thanks to developer Wallride and publisher Super Rare Originals, I was allowed to play their demo of ‘Grandma No!’ Unfortunately, I will have little to tell you as the demo only lasted about 15 minutes. Even after a second play-through, there wasn’t much more to find and interact with. Anyway,
This week, MKAU Gaming was fortunate enough to check out the Steam demo for ‘HoverGrease 2’, an upcoming release developed and published by Altergaze.

Man, I have always liked cooking, but somehow, ‘Let’s Cook Together 2’ by Yellow Dot Games makes the relaxing experience a full-on panic-fest. Bringing together the preparation of dishes and cooking them under a time limit, kitchen life here is not relaxing. You play as an Ohmie working with General
Oh, do I love games that tug at nostalgia. Unfortunately, some games just throw in ‘remember berries’ with no real purpose. ‘Tiny Garden’ by Ao Norte is a game I have yet to decide if the gimmick of a garden in a tiny pocket-sized town is exciting or just there
Blizzard’s Diablo IV has yet again been pumping out content and brought out with it its newest event the ‘Lunar Awakening Collection’. To celebrate the Lunar New Year and more fitting the ‘Year of the Snake’, players were rewarded with extra XP, unique rewards and a series of new buff

I rarely spend numerous hours honing my craft in blacksmithing, building a strong reputation with the locals, and engaging in swordplay. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II let me do all of the above, and then some, without needing to leave the house. I spent what feels like an age exploring Warhorse
DeathOmen is a psychological horror story by developer Jeff Winner and published by CreativeForge Games. I do like a good psychological horror, but to truly get my spine tingling with fear, the formula needs to evoke my imagination to run away with itself. Consequently, I often find myself unimpressed by
Sleeper Hit Gets Even Bigger! It’s time to wake up again, Sleeper. The Starward Belt needs you, or more, you need it. ‘Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector’ published by Fellow Traveller and developed by Jump Over the Age, is a sequel to 2022’s indie sci-fi “sleeper” hit, ‘Citizen Sleeper’. Citizen
I’ve concluded that simulation games are my secret pleasure in life. Whenever one is available for review, I’m usually the first to throw my hand in the air to do it. Cheesecake Dev is back with their second instalment into the streaming simulation scene with ‘Streamer Life Simulator 2’ in
Shanghai-based development studio, Pollard Studio LLC and publishing companies, Wired Productions and Gamera Games have brought the latest in first-person cinematic, psychological thriller games.

Ukraine-based solo developer, Yurii Nikshych, is back with his fourth title. With this one, he has blasted us into the future while throwing us back into the past. ‘Future Breach 64’ is a team-based shooter in which you command squads, and your job is to enter, clear, and extract by
At first appearance, ‘Super Sketch Bob,’ by Waywards Thoughts Interactive, is very much a game that may be judged, trialled and executed from consideration. Small development teams can do wonderful things in small packages, and if you dive down into the layers beyond what is first presented, you will find
Paying homage to the dark side-scrollers who had paved (or, rather side scrolled) the way before it – Limbo, Inside, and Little Nightmares to name just a few – Ayasa: Shadows of Silence adds another spooky adventure narrative to the list, but it comes complete with its spin and, yes,
Fast food is the bane of my existence. Too quick, too easy, and it has not been kind to my waist, however, not as easy as it seems behind the counter where all the action is. I was thankfully never cut out for a job in hospitality as I was

Indie development team, CreepyToad, has brought a new co-op or single-player horror title to our libraries. Still, you can forget how cute and innocent your grandmother is because they have created a monster with ‘Granny: Escape Together’, and she is anything but adorable; something nightmares are made from. Granny: Escape
Just like the gameplay, this review will be short, but as they say, good things come in small packages, and Softie epitomises such a term. The very first development and publication for Kristina Springer is an interesting first foray into the gaming industry, and I am interested in what the
