Corsair Cove – PC Review

There's something oddly satisfying about starting with next to nothing and slowly building up a thriving settlement, and that's exactly what Corsair Cove, by devs Limbic Entertainment, sets out to do. Blending resource gathering, exploration and town management with a pirate theme, it creates a surprisingly relaxing experience that feels like a cross between The Settlers, a light survival game and a casual adventure title. He's a Pirate! While there are pirates, treasure and plenty of exploration, don't expect a fast-paced action game. This is much more about planning your settlement, keeping your economy moving and slowly expanding your little pirate paradise. It won't be for everyone, but if you enjoy games where progression is constant and rewarding, there's plenty here to like. ...

Senara: The Sacrament – PC Review

I'm checking out Influsion Inc. newest game Senara: The Sacrament, a first-person horror game, set on the ship Senara. Why are we here, who knows. But what I do know is that you can pick up the game on Steam, and there is also a demo available. Why are we always unconscious at the start of these things?

Celestial Return – PC Review

Celestial Return is a narrative RPG set in a dystopian near-future with similarities to Cyberpunk 2077, Disco Elysium and movies like Blade Runner. It is made by developer Metaphor Games (Cult of the Yellow King) and published by Shoreline Games (Onirism). The juxtaposition of Celestial Return's title and the setting caught my attention. And it didn't disappoint in how the plot progresses or in how the narrative choices play out. Celestial Return is available now on Windows. Return of the Celestial Celestial Return's protagonist is Howard, a former officer of the Paranormal Investigation Division (PID) and now grizzled private detective. The game's prologue sees the police tackling a raid on the Abstracts, a race of creatures that seemingly phase in and out of reality. Before being torch...

Cat Mail Co. is a Simulation game from Maracas Studios. Their third game since starting out in 2024.

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!

The Mermaid Mask – PC Review

The Mermaid Mask is the fourth installment to the Detective Grimoire series and the sequel to the Tangled Tower. From the brilliant minds at SFB Games, this game still lives up to its predecessors. The Mermaid Mask is a Casual, Adventure, Puzzle game that is well worth anyone's time. However, the game is originally a point and click game, but SFB Games has made their games controller friendly. To the point I played between my Steam Deck and my desktop on and off my work shifts. I can't explain how much I love this series and have been anticipating a new entry into the Grimoire series. Now sit back, relax and let's save the mystery in The Mermaid Mask. So, you're telling me that I can combine parts of a ship to a submarine, and it'll all still work with no issues?! Gameplay We play ...

Granblue Fantasy Relink: Endless Ragnarok PC Review

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is a DLC for Granblue Fantasy: Relink. This DLC has added new characters to play with, new quests and a good amount of content. There's a lot of good in the game. But oh boy do I have several opinions of what I've gone through. Like...maybe it'll be a normal length. The whole process to just start the story is really feeling endless... Gameplay Now I must prefer that you will have a very long journey if you're trying to reach the start of the story. What I mean is after you've done all the stuff in the main game, you're halfway to Endless Ragnarok. Why do I say you're halfway there? Because you'll need to repeat what you did for Chapter Zero and go out and complete a certain quest. The amount of quests you need to complete building the do...
