Action Platformer Somber Launching On Steam Q1 2022

Indie gaming studio You Will Get There have announced they will be making their debut on Steam in 2022. Their first title to land on this platform will be Somber. "What would happen if Tim Burton developed LIMBO but added in the gameplay mechanics found in the Ori series?" Somber is an action platformer with eerie encounters along the way with an environment that I could only describe as stunningly dark and hand-drawn. What Will You Be Doing In Somber? Within Somber you will take on the role and control of a deadly but apparently friendly creature (Name unknown to us at the minute). Your aim is to go about the levels and help anyone that needs it. However, navigating the dark environments isn't going to be without its challenging. Will you survive the challenges to tell your story?...

Monster Harvest Review

Monster Harvest, a pixel art title developed by Maple Powered Games and published by Merge games was released to us in August 2021. The title is available across most platforms and is out now. Is This Just Another Farming Simulator? I am always dubious when it comes to farming simulators, they can sometimes be pretty tedious. However, when they get the storyline right along with some epic gameplay. You can be onto a winner that will keep you entertained for months if not years. Join me below as I check out Monster Harvest. Gameplay Monster Harvest has a storyline that is very similar to other titles alike. A family member reaches out to who you haven't spoken to in a while and of course, he is asking you for a favour. As he has been far too busy to look after his farm due to important ...

31 Days Of Halloween – Phasmophobia

Day 15 on our list of 31 Horror video games hosts one of my personal co-op online horror titles. That title is Phasmophobia, developed and published by Kinetic Games and available on Steam. It was originally released last year, however this year it seems to have only grown in popularity. I am all about that van life! It's way safer! So what is Phasmophobia? Essentially you and your friends team up at a chosen location with your equipment and you have to figure out what the ghost is that is haunting said location. Sound easy right? WRONG! To start off with you need to make sure that the friends you chose aren't going to run off and leave you, this will more than likely lead to death in the game. Secondly, you need to make sure you take the best equipment with you that you can afford. Each...

XPG GAMMIX D20 DDR4 Memory Review

XPG are a part of the Adata Brand, XPG brings you gaming components at a great price with what I can only see as potentially great products. As with all components you want to really put them to the test before you make your mind up. So I got my hands on the XPG GAMMIX D20 DDR4 memory kit. Comparing XPG To Corsair - Who Comes Out On Top? So as you can probably now guess, I currently have an equivalent kit in my build from Corsair. Why did I go Corsair? To be fair just because it looked nice. I didn't know now what I knew then. Otherwise, I would have probably gone for a cheaper, faster and higher capacity. What I want to know is, just how good is my current setup compared to the kit that that team at Adata kindly sent over? Keep reading to find out how I get on. Design The XPG GAMMIX D...

New World Review

Here it is finally! We have New World by Amazon Games, After testing and betas, we can finally enjoy the MMO that everyone has been waiting for. Well, that's if you can get into a server, anyone else love waiting in queues? This IS the MMO you have been looking for! I personally haven't been sucked into the MMO world for a long time. The last time I actually spent a good amount of time on one is probably 10 years plus now. So I am extremely looking forward to seeing just how much I enjoy New World. Even Stu our Editor-In-Chief is on board and he usually doesn't get caught up in the MMO scene. "Having never really getting stuck into an MMO I was intrigued by what New World could offer. Needless to say, once I created my character and started exploring the world my fears subsided. The wor...

Black Book Review

Black Book is a deck-based action-adventure title that also has a whole load of other stuff thrown in. Developed by Morteshka and published by Hype Train Digital and designed by Vladimir Beletsky, there is nothing to not like about the visuals of this title. Initially released in May 2020, Black Book is available across most platforms including macOS.
