Skopje ’83 – PC Review

Skopje '83 is a new first-person survival roguelite by indie developer Dark-1. Unravel the mysterious, time-warping clues about your surroundings and survive the mindless creatures outside your bus. The game is available now for PC via Steam and Epic Game Store with publishing by PM Studios, Inc. (Yooka-Replaylee, Hoa). Skopje '83 is Colourfully... Dull? I took a look at Skopje '83 in hopes of finding some sort of pseudo-Borderlands looter-shooter roguelite. Unfortunately, what I found was not what I was expecting. It's just one of those things that happens, and as I'll also note, it may honestly just be me. If you happen to pick it up and feel differently, please let me know! For now, let me explain through my review below. Gameplay Skopje '83 is a first-person shooter with a mixt...

Dispatch – PC Review

Dispatch is an Action, Adventure Indie game produced and developed by AdHoc Studio. After reading Paul's preview article of the game, I was first drawn to Dispatch because of the art style and dialog. It gave me that old school nostalgia I feel for TellTale Games, especially when it game to the game's humour and dialog choices. Imagine my surprise when I did research on the team that I find out they were ex Telltale employees. It must have been the best of the best because holy mother of ducks was my experience with Dispatch amazing. So, who do you believe is the best choice to go after? Invisagal or Blonde Blazer? As someone who loves and replays the classic Telltale games like Sam n' Max, The Wolf Among Us, and others. Dispatch did scratch my Telltale games itch that finally got scrat...

Jurassic World Evolution 3 – PC Review

Ever since the first Evolution game, dinosaur-park management sims have had a special place in my heart: equal parts “wow, a T-rex!” and “oh no, a T-rex!” With Jurassic World Evolution 3, Frontier asks: what if you could really play god over scaly, roaring beasts, sculpt your own island, and maybe, just maybe, watch your park go from pristine dream to absolute prehistoric meltdown? Released on October 21, 2025, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, the game arrives with the promise of deeper systems, bigger creative freedom and, yes, more “life finds a way” moments than ever. "Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming." It’s the third major chapter in the Jurassic World Evolution series, so naturally, I went in expecting a little more than ...

Simon the Sorcerer Origins – PC Review

Being a complete point-and-click adventure and pixel art nut, the first two Simon the Sorcerer games are very close to my heart. And with the three sequels that followed leaving a considerable amount to be desired, it seemed as though the series was long forgotten. Enter Simon the Sorcerer Origins by newcomers Smallthing Studios, available on Steam. Opting for a prequel rather than a sequel/reboot, Origins claims to go back to what Simon the Sorcerer does best with comical puzzles, British banter and fourth wall breaks. Is it fourth time's the charm for a worthy series addition and in line with its 30th anniversary? I had to find out! Have We Met Before? Set weeks before the events of the first game, Simon and his family have moved house after his expulsion from yet another school. Wh...

Bounty Star – PC Review

Bounty Star is a 3rd person action game with a blend of mech combat and homesteading. Developed by DINOGOD with publishing by Annapurna Interactive (Stray, Neon White), it is available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. You can also pick it up for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, or Game Pass. Not Quite Trucking in Bounty Star I feel like I really missed out on getting into the whole mech genre. Not only in gaming but elsewhere. I read a few RoboTech (I think?) books back in my early days. But I never got into Mechwarrior or Gundam or the like. Honestly think games like Armored Core look awesome but never get myself to check them out. I saw Bounty Star coming up though and decided to take a look. Check out my thoughts below. Gameplay Bounty Star is a 3rd person action game. Right at ...

Becastled – PC Review

Every so often, a new real-time strategy game pops up to remind us that the genre still has a pulse, and a damn good one at that. With Becastled (out now on Steam, GOG, Xbox, Switch, and Playstation), developer Mana Potion Studios and publisher Pingle Studio Ltd bring us something refreshingly earnest: a medieval city-builder that fuses cosy creativity with nightly chaos. It’s rare to see a new RTS try something different these days. Between massive 4X empires and military micromanagement simulators, few dare to find that sweet spot between Age of Empires’ depth and Kingdom Two Crowns’ immediacy. But Becastled gives it a proper go, and it’s good to see someone still flying the RTS flag in 2025. Becastled - Be Crowned It’s heartening to see a small team take risks in a genre often dominat...

Strange Antiquities – PC Review

Strange Antiquities is the latest game from developer Bad Viking and published by Iceberg Interactive. It is their follow-up to the very successful Strange Horticulture, taking place in the same town/universe. And it is shaping up to be just as well-received. The game is a shopkeeper sim with a twist, much like its predecessor. You play as the nameless assistant thaumaturgist who is left in charge of the titular store as bizarre events occur. Set in town during an alternate version of Victorian Era England, where the supernatural is commonplace. Each day, you'll do your best to help the townsfolk as something evil stirs within Undermere, and hopefully, your knowledge will solve it in time. Strange Antiquities is available now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. Alright, let's get to th...

GODBREAKERS – PC Review

GODBREAKERS is a 3rd Person action roguelite by developer To The Sky. This single to four-player co-op adventure is their debut game with publishing from Thunderful Publishing (Steamworld Heist II, Viewfinder). It is now available on PC via the Steam and Epic Games stores, as well as on PlayStation 5. Oh, the Humanity! Or Lack Thereof in GODBREAKERS I had to check out GODBREAKERS because I seem to really enjoy roguelite mechanics. It's also pretty shiny. Add to that an interesting bit of story and the hooks were set. The more I play the game, the more I appreciate different parts of it. Let me know if you've ever found yourself thinking the same of a different game each time you play. For now, check out my thoughts on this new release below. Gameplay GODBREAKERS is a fast-paced,...

The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack – PC Review

Every so often, The Sims 4 drops an expansion that makes you forget all about bills, deadlines, and whatever existential spiral your Sims were currently facing. Adventure Awaits is exactly that kind of escape. It bursts open the familiar suburban loop and hands your Sims a backpack, a bug net, and a suspiciously optimistic travel brochure. "It's a Quest. It's a Quest for Fun!" Suddenly, the world isn’t about upgrading bathrooms or perfecting grilled cheese recipes; it’s about chasing fireflies, camping under skies brighter than your Sim’s aspirations, and building stories that unfold far beyond the picket fence. It’s the expansion that says, “Put the phone down, we’re going outside.” Gameplay At its heart, Adventure Awaits is all about movement, not just through space, but through ...
