We Were Here Tomorrow PC Review

We Were Here Tomorrow is an Adventure, Co-op, Puzzle game from Total Mayhem Games. It is the sixth installment to the only game Total Mayhem Games makes. But, they live up to the expression, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" to the maximum! I've been playing their game since the first We Were Here and love the puzzles these folks come up with. So, I'm going to need you to cooperate with me and get this review started. I thought a Jester's job was to be funny...not to define the laws of everything in the world?! Gameplay We Were Here Tomorrow starts off where The Friendship left off. Rescuing the solo survivor of the last game and heading to a weird tear in the sky. Both explorers start heading towards the anomaly in the sky. However, the pulse from the anomaly causes the ice underneat...

Ratatan PC Review

Ratatan is an Action, Adventure, with splashes of Rougelike elements from TVT and Ratata Arts. It's a game that has you command a legion of minions to fight for you with rhythm and rhyme. Going to the beat of the music and the tempo that starts with the same 3 notes to hit. Which playing with headphones on does improve your need to think and not see the notes timing. Now let's Ra-Ta-Tan onto the review. If the game is something to go off of, Ratatan means to Follow. Where's my source? The Ratatans themselves when I use the command to Follow. Gameplay Ratatan allows you to pick your character from a group of eight leaders. Each specialize with different groups of Chorus that handle different weapons. Which come in a nice array of weapons from bombs to swords and shields to even magic s...

Marvel’s Wolverine PS5 Review

Marvel's Wolverine is an Action, Adventure game from Insomniac Games. Following the success of the Marvel's Spider-Man series, Insomniac Games took the mantle to work on another character. We're playing as James Logan Howelett, aka the Wolverine. If you're coming into this series blind and don't know the characters, oh are you in for a treat. I will prefer now that this game is not referencing any comics or any other media. The only things you'll find here are their names, and powers that are the cannon part of some of the mutants lore. Now sharpen your claws and bear your fangs, because we're slicing through this review. You would always hear about Honey badgers not giving a flip. But have you met this Wolverine!?! HE DRANK ALL MY WHISKEY!!!! Gameplay Marvel's Wolverine starts us ...

Previews & Early Access

Shroom and Gloom – PC Preview

Shroom and Gloom is a Rougelike Deckbuilding game from the minds at Team Lazerbeam with publishing house Devolver Digital. A game that's quite quirky with its design and mechanics that has you deckbuilding for yourself in and out of battle. With the fact that you have to walk a straight path with no way of going back, there are perks. However, you'll have to sort your deck and survive as best as you can while reading the review. I don't know how to feel with being told "Sweeten Well" every time I die! Gameplay The game starts with us being the paper boy holding a sticking note saying "w". As in the keyboard button telling you to move forward. Which is the only direction we're able to walk. However, walking is the least of your worries. Because you'll need to synergize your deck and lo...

Well Dweller PC Review

Well Dweller is an Action, Adventure, Metroidvania from the mind of Kyle Thompson. The same creator of my favourite game, Crypt Custodian. Well Dweller was honestly an adventure I could not put down. You're going around fighting these small creatures while being a small creature yourself. But enough of that, grab your matchstick and a slingshot as we begin this review. This game has a surprise cameo from the McDonalds at night Moon Guy. Don't believe, well you'll see. Gameplay Well Dweller has us play as Glimmer. The oldest of five siblings, sent to go grab food from the Hunter's cabin. After retrieving the food as mother asked, we headed back to our home in the well. But, unbeknownst to Glimmer, he was being followed by the same hunter they stole from. This man starts to grab your...

DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction PC Review

DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction is an Action, Adventure, Simulation from Soda Game Studio. With publishing assistance from Infini Fun. This game in one word is chaos. And when I mean chaos, I don't mean the good or bad chaos or even pure chaos. Somehow it reaches a neutral leave of chaos that makes you wonder why. Now, I'm going to let you guys dig into the review and decide for yourselves the level of chaos this game brings. I can understand we're collecting alien tech, but why are the alien energy cells shaped like cooked duck!? Gameplay DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction lets you choose from a small pool of characters when starting for the first time. You can then pick between story, showdown and other modes. But, because I was playing solo, Story Mode was my only choice. The main obj...

Retro Arcade Shop Simulator PC Review

Retro Arcade Shop Simulator is a Simulation game from Alt Tab Game. This is their first entry into the industry and feel like they did pretty good on their first attempt. In a market saturated with so many simulators will this one stand out? Insert a token and choose the number of players for this review. I have never been to an arcade that has bowling, go karts and a shooting range...WHAT KIND OF LOCATION IS THIS?!?! Gameplay We start with a small tutorial on how to clean up the place, manage the building. Plus how to set up a register and a couple arcade cabinets for customers to come in and play. Afterwards saving up getting more cabinets and leveling up to unlock the jukebox, you can expand the business. Luckily, your first expansion is getting the cafeteria where you can sell sod...

Beast of Reincarnation PC Review

Beast of Reincarnation is an Action, Adventure, RPG from the studio GAME FREAK. Yes, the studio that makes almost only Pokemon religiously made another game. Which still has us fighting alongside a beast of some type however we can't choose who it is. But, I wouldn't trade Koo for anything in the world. Now lets go fetch us some Nishi to eat and start the review! So, I can raise normal chickens, but in this world I can get golden eggs but not GOLDEN CHICKENS!!!! Gameplay In Beast of Reincarnation, we play as Emma. A young girl who is a Purifier or a Stain person that everyone calls her because she's just like the beasts. Her ponytail exhibits similar traits to Koo's tail and some of the enemies we come across. The world has a few automatons or golems as they call it who get corrupt. T...

Security 51 PC Review

Security 51 is an Adventure, Simulation, Point and Click game from the cosmic entities at Alawar. A game that gives me the vibes of Papers, Please only more multidimensional. Which just like Papers, Please, there are major consequences to the actions you perform. You'll have a lot of trial and error, but if you're an attentive person like me, you'll breeze through the first timeline. Now, let me scan you and give you a Rorschach test to see if you gain access to this review. How was I suppose to know that this guy was going to just melt like pudding. All I did was scan them! Gameplay As I mentioned earlier this game is similar to Papers, Please. You're a security guard who's in charge of following the rules and determining if someone can enter, leave or just end up dead. However, thro...

Cat Mail Co. – PC Review

Cat Mail Co. is a Simulation game from Maracas Studios. Their third game since starting out in 2024. It's a cozy game that has you slightly understand what it means to own a post office that has a lot of traffic. But, I'm getting a head of myself. Let's place the address to this review and see what stamp it'll get. Stick it, Stamp and play Tetris in your head when putting the mail on the ship! Gameplay We come into our first day of running a nice post office that looks clean...until the first box gets pulled. Finding piles upon piles of mail someone thought they were slick to put away. However, you can clean the mess of forgotten mail over time and arrange it in your order. Spending about 20 minutes understanding how the storage system of this game works. Which after you understand ho...
