The Third Shift Review

When I was a kid, my mom would take me to a big natural history museum close to our house. I remember feeling both enraptured and terrified by the taxidermy animals, with their frozen poses and glassy eyes. Sometimes I would wonder if they moved at night, or when I wasn't looking at them. It was a strange atmosphere; a place of learning, yet with a sense of quiet, creeping dread. It's a sense of horror that very few games have capitalized on, at least up until now. The Third Shift is a survival horror game developed and published by Teebowah Games. The initial demo released all the way back in 2020, and I distinctly remember watching it back in high school. Development has been on and off for the past few years, but the game finally released this April, and I was excited to finally ...

Resident Evil: The 90s Trilogy – PC Review

Before there was Requiem and a large collection of remasters, there was the original Resident Evil trilogy. The original 90 releases are now available on Steam. You can grab them for £7.99 each now. Check out our other PC reviews here. Once upon a time, these were some of the most terrifying games that ever existed Gameplay Arguably, the first Resident Evil is one of the most important horror games to come out in the 90s, launching the franchise into the public eye and defining a solid run of horror games. After being sent to investigate strange murders just outside Raccoon City, you can play as either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine as you explore the horrors of Arklay Mansion. The second installment introduces Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield trying to flee Raccoon City after a ...

Global Rescue – PC Review

If you have ever sat in traffic on a local road thinking, "I could run this town better if they just gave me a blue light and a siren button," then developers PeDePe GbR have heard your prayers. Global Rescue is the latest "save the world from your swivel chair" simulator to hit the PC, and it is a weirdly personal journey into the heart of emergency management. Thunderbird Two to Thunderbird One, do you read me? Most games of this category tuck you away in a fictional metropolis like "Night City" or "Liberty City." But PeDePe GbR, the mad geniuses behind City Bus Manager, decided that was not enough. They wanted us to suffer, or thrive, in our own backyards. Naturally, I did not pick London or New York. I picked my old hometown of Folkestone. Why manage the NYPD when you can manage the ...

Windrose – PC Early Access Review

Windrose brings me the same joy as Assassin’s Creed Black Flag did all those years ago, even if it isn’t as polished. Developer Kraken Express may be new to the scene, but it entered with a bang. Windrose is an ambitious open-world game that lets players become pirates to craft their own story. Available on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, the game is out in early access and is already making waves. Treasure Awaits! For some reason, nailing a good pirate-themed game is much easier than it looks. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag made the genre look so easy, having players sail the seas in search of treasure, all the while singing sea shanties and sinking enemy ships. It’s also more than a decade old, and the only other large title to try its hand at making players pirates is Sea of Th...

The Last Gas Station – PC Review

The Last Gas Station is a cosy game that says it has a little bit of a dark twist. Which is exactly what I love! The game itself is developed and self-published by Alawar. We will be running and restoring a run-down gas station, all while playing a cute red panda. If your curious about the game, then it is out now on Steam for £12.99 Nothing ever bad happens in the country. Gameplay In The Last Gas Station we assume the role of a Red Panda, who takes over management of a gas station. Not much is known about our character as most of the game focuses on running the place, but some strange things do occur in the night. At the start players will man the basic gas pump and restock some shelves with products. All of which are purchased at the computer in the back of the station. After savin...

Blades, Bows and Magic – PC Review

Blades, Bows and Magic, developed and published by Funk Games, arrives on Steam with a smart little pitch. It takes the card battler formula, strips away most of the clutter, and builds the whole thing around placement, abilities, and a rock-paper-scissors core. Warriors beat Archers, Archers beat Mages, Mages beat Warriors. Simple. Clean. Easy. That approach gives it an immediate charm, especially if you do not fancy wrestling with a hundred systems before the first fight. Nevertheless, that simplicity creates its own friction. Blades, Bows and Magic often let you understand exactly what should happen, but they do not always let you make it happen. The result is a card battler that feels approachable and lively, but also more random than strategic as the novelty wears off. Blades, Bow...

Hacked: The Streamer Review

As a resident zoomer, live streams hold a long shadow over my leisure time. I’ve spent days of my life in chatrooms, posting laughing emojis as white men twice my age play games meant for children. So when I saw a mystery game themed around the streams I love so much, I had to give it a click. Hacked: The Streamer is an FMV interactive film developed by Button Interactive and NAISU, and published by GameDev.ist and Gamersky Studios. After three years of development, it was released on Steam on April 6 of this year. Was it worth the wait? TCulture22 Donated $10: “dude show the review LULW” In Hacked: The Streamer, you play as internet streamer PinkyPie, whose routine stream is turned upside down when a hacker threatens to expose compromising photos of her unless she pays $50,000.
