UFOphilia – PC Review

Bored of hunting ghosts like in Phasmaphobia? Well, k148 Game Studio, might be what you are looking for. In their new game UFOPHILIA, we hunt down extraterrestrial life, and document them for the Men in Black. Or horde the photos and go crazy, I don't judge. The game is out now on Steam for £10.99. If you are looking for another ghost hunting game but maybe solo. Might I suggest checking out my review for Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I. Seeing, is believing. Gameplay There is no story for UFOPHILIA, we just start off in a van, where we can select either the mission or a tutorial. I tried the tutorial, but it seemed that a tool wouldn't spawn. So, I decided to learn as I played. Like most hunting games of this type, our objective is to use our tools to narrow down, a possible alien,...

HumanitZ – PC Review

HumanitZ is an isometric, open-world zombie survival game. After a couple of years in early access on Steam, developer Yodubzz Studios is venturing into 1.0 release. Pick up the pieces as one of the few remaining humans to build, farm, explore, and survive as long as possible. It is available on Steam now with publishing by indie.io (Coromon, Dark Deity 2). The 1.0 release is live on Friday, sixth of February. How Long Can You Keep Your Humanity in HumanitZ? Zombies and survival games seem to just go hand in hand. The nice thing is that they come in all different flavors. I recall spending a number of days in zombie modes of CoD, and others in the early days of DayZ. I was curious to see how HumanitZ felt in comparison. Especially since that last zombie survival game was just... yeah. So...

Rainbow Gate – PC Review

Time to play another mascot horror game. And this time it is called Rainbow Gate. This game was developed and published by 7EVIL Studio. I have not seen anything on this before so I'll be going in blind. It is up for wish listing on Steam right now, for anyone who is into mascot horrors. Horror has such a variety of colours. Gameplay We get a letter from a client who informs us that her brother has gone missing. And she believes that the police aren't looking harder enough, so she pleads for our help. The only information we have to go on is that the brother was last seen near an old toy factory. So we know how this will go. On arrival, the place is not much to look out, but quickly turns to reveal the evil that lurks. As we ended up being knocked out and now have a camcorder strap to...

Lunars – PC Review

Lunars is a party board game from the fun minds at Anubis Arts. The game handles like Mario Party, only replace the star with Jade Buttons, just with chaos greeting every facet this game can cover. To the mini games, the maps and even the characters themselves. Now let's roll this 12 sides die and see where this review will place. The one party game where it's okay to have more than one person choose the same character. Gameplay Before you start the game, you can start the process of customizing your zodiacs if you'd like. Since I was born on the year of the ram/sheep, I was the character the whole review. While my partner Lucifera who was born on year of the dragon. Playing the maps three times on Normal, while only one map on Blitz mode was actually fun. Getting to experiment and ex...

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked PC Review

Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is a digital tabletop game set within the D&D universe. Developed and published by Resolution Games (Demeo) in partnership with Wizards of the Coast, it builds on the original Demeo series by adding in familiar features from The Forgotten Realms. Play it solo or with up to three other adventurers across Steam, PS5, and Meta Quest. It is also playable via Steam on Mac. Digital D&D Tabletop Demeo Dungeons & Dragons is something I didn't really look into learning more about until I was an adult. I didn't have any friends that played it, nor did I hang out at a local gaming/card shop for any kind of exposure to it. Nowadays I play as regularly as I can with my wife and a few of our friends, but I'm still in the mostly learning stages. ...

Netherworld Covenant – PC Review

Netherworld Covenant (out now on Steam, and Epic) opens with a confident splash of crimson and black, silver armour catching the light as fallen warriors rise once more. Developed by MadGoat Game Studio and published by Infini Fun alongside CriticalLeap, Netherworld Covenant very clearly wants to sit in the uncomfortable space between roguelike repetition and Soulslike severity. The premise lands hard. You rise from death to avenge fallen comrades, only to find chaos has warped them beyond recognition. Victory doesn’t free them; their spirits bind to you, granting spectral abilities that shape every run. It’s a striking hook, but it also sets the tone early. Netherworld Covenant doesn’t ease you in. It demands pace, punishes hesitation, and makes the consequences clear. From the opening...

The Pharaoh’s Tomb: Online Escape Room Experience – PC Review

Wolf Escape Games has made a habit of dropping players into strange situations and calmly asking them to think their way out, and with The Pharaoh’s Tomb, the studio dives headfirst into ancient mystery. This is the fourth escape game in their catalogue, and having reviewed both Hallows Hill and Phantom's Hour it feels like a confident step forward rather than a simple repeat of past ideas. Swapping modern locations for dusty ruins and long-forgotten secrets, the game invites you to step into a cinematic puzzle adventure inspired by classic archaeological tales and golden-age detective fiction. Set in Cairo, 1901, you play as Sherlock and Watson, and the setup is immediately enticing. A priceless artefact has vanished, a lost heiress, clues point to Egypt, and an ancient tomb hides answ...
