VELONE Review

VELONE is a creative automation game in which you assemble and program mechanisms to solve logic puzzles, from publisher Daedalic Entertainment. Both relaxing and highly replayable, you save the planet VELONE by creating automated constructs that move and assemble according to your master plan. Logic And Puzzles Might Get You Through This I'm a fan of puzzle games. They can be great fun and a good way to unwind. There's something deeply satisfying about solving them. I'm that guy that plays Tomb Raider and just wants to raid tombs for the puzzles, not go to war with Trinity. So a game that's all about logic and puzzles where you learn more about the planet Velone as you progress? Sure, sounds like it could be fun. Gameplay The game is listed as being *inspired* by Opus Magnum. So let's...

35MM Review

35MM is a single-player horror game taking place in a present-day version of Russia after a virus has killed the majority of the population. The title 35MM refers to the camera that Petrovich, our protagonist carries throughout the game. It is developed and published by Russian indie video game company Сергей Носков who also made The Light. Originally released on Steam in 2016, its narrative on life after a pandemic is especially apt today. I based my review on the PS4 version where 35MM is available now as well as Xbox One & Nintendo Switch. Seeing the world through this 35MM lens is a bleak picture I was very interested in 35MM as a game made and set in Russia to see the approach taken to the popular genre. I and the TC team are curious to hear what you think of the game so ...

Developed by Italian studio Milestone, Monster Energy Supercross 5 is the latest release in the annual series and the second to release on next-gen consoles.
