1666: Amsterdam – PC Early Access Review

Despite having a fascinating setting and art direction, 1666: Amsterdam’s early access state suffers from multiple technical issues that need ironing out. Developed by the indie studio Panache Digital Games, 1666: Amsterdam genuinely caught my attention when I first saw it during this year’s Summer Game Fest. Available on Steam and the Epic Games Store, the game is currently in early access. However, the game’s going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting during this early access period if it wants to recover the goodwill it lost because of performance and AI-related issues. Abracadabra Alakazam 1666: Amsterdam’s historical and supernatural setting already captivated many who first saw it. The game’s demo was excellent, and the early access retains much of the feel that many expect....

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...

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...

Emergency Room Simulator – PC Review

When a new simulator game is released, I’m like a moth to a flame. This is no different with the recent release of Emergency Room Simulator. Developed by Caipirinha Games and published by Aerosoft, both of which are no strangers to simulator games. Emergency Room Simulator thrusts you into the chaotic role of an ER doctor. Emergency Room Simulator is available to buy now on Steam for £22.49. Welcome to the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital Now, I must tell you that my only experience with medicine or being a doctor comes from religiously watching Grey’s Anatomy. But I’ll try my best to see how realistic it is! Gameplay Emergency Room Simulator focuses on medical investigation rather than focusing solely on treatment. Like in real life, your patient care begins with the paramedics' or nu...

Mortal Shell 2 – PC Review

Mortal Shell 2 takes the premise that the original game introduced and perfects it in a way that makes it the ideal way to experience Mortal Shell. Developer Cold Symmetry showcased its immense talent with the first Mortal Shell. However, the game had a bunch of holes that needed filling. Mortal Shell 2, which is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X, bumps everything to eleven. It’s what the original Mortal Shell should have been in every aspect, whether it’s combat or the series-defining shell mechanic. Finally a Perfected Shell Mortal Shell 2 starts with a bang, quickly introducing everything that makes it better than its prequel. The combat is fluid, the shell system has a more detailed build system that offers more flexibility, and the game’s scale is much large...
