Pilo and the Holobook – PC Review

There’s something truly magical about diving into a new world. Pilo and the Holobook, out now on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch, invites you to do just that. Developed by Mudita Games and published by RedDeer Games, this exploration-based adventure swaps swords for stickers and combat for curiosity. Set across a mesmerising, hand-painted galaxy, the game follows Pilo, an apprentice explorer armed with nothing, but a Holobook and a big heart, as they document the wonders of the universe and tackle a creeping corruption known as the Tar. What unfolds is a peaceful, creative journey that encourages discovery, observation, and empathy—perfect for players who want a break from endless battles and high-octane mayhem. This book is worth putting stickers in I was excited to play this becau...

Train Sim World 5: Thomas & Friends – PC Review

As a train lover, I grew up with Thomas the Tank Engine. So when Dovetail Games announced a Thomas & Friends pack, I was excited. No, that doesn't do it justice. I was over the moon. My head derailed with a million different thoughts of what could be. Thankfully, now we have the Train Sim World 5: Thomas & Friends DLC. How Does Thomas Eat? He Chew-Chews While you might be hoping to journey around Sodor, unfortunately, that isn't the case. Which brings us onto something to be aware of. You MUST own the West Somerset Railway pack to be able to utilise the Thomas & Friends pack. Now we've got that out of the way, let's get down to business. Gameplay Thomas and his friends, Diesel, Annie and Clarabel have travelled to West Somerset. After Sir Topham Hatt receives an invitation,...

Crashlands 2 – PC Review

It’s not every day you crash-land into a sequel brewing in the shenanigan-shaped minds of Butterscotch Shenanigans. Crashlands 2 brings back our favourite intergalactic trucker, Flux Dabes; now older, wiser, and more than a bit crispy from corporate burnout. After a morally questionable marketing stint with the Bureau of Shipping, Flux returns to the alien planet Woanope for some R&R. Naturally, that idea lasts all of five seconds before chaos erupts, and you’re nose-deep in alien flora again. Now, before you get flashbacks of freezing in Don’t Starve Together, let me reassure you: Crashlands 2 is like the cosy, weird cousin who shows up with biscuits and chaos. It’s a survival game, sure, but with fewer existential crises and more synthwave glick-glicks. Let’s dive into this surv...

Gameplay Having been developed over a 8 year period, Game Over A Musical RPG?? has a lot of gameplay to it. The first thing that I found incredibly impressive was the use of sound. I kn...

Atomfall – PC Review

Atomfall has been out for almost two weeks, and I've been playing the game quite a bit. You might have checked out our exclusive preview article previously, but now it's time to do a proper review. So sit back relax as we venture into the North of England and find out just what might have been. Lead The Way As with the preview article, I don't really want to give away too much of the game. I honestly feel that this game is best going in blind, but that's no good for a video game review. So what I'm going to do is try and keep it as vague as possible. Just talk about some of the mechanics involved in the game. If you want to know anything about the story, then check out the preview article. Gameplay Atomfall is a vast game, there are a number of areas that you can explore. Discovery is ...

Tiny Garden – PC Review

Back in February I got the chance to play a little preview of the Tiny Garden Steam Next Fest Demo. This cosy game is releasing very soon (8th April) and once again developer Ao Norte and publisher Super Rare Originals have trusted me to take a look ahead of launch. At the moment the game is Steam exclusive, so obviously I'll be playing on PC! Watch me crank it, watch me roll I really enjoyed the demo of this game and the full release is no different. Well, it is, let's find out how together. Gameplay Ok, so the gameplay is no different. The core loop is still very much: Grab a seed and bury it in the soil Turn the crank Collect plants Trade plants for other seed types, accessories or backgrounds But the gameplay core loop being what it is, isn't a bad thing. I lik...

Assassin’s Creed Shadows PC Review

Assassin's Creed Shadows is an Action, Adventure, RPG developed and published by Ubisoft. This game is a part of the Assassin's Creed franchise that's first started way back in 2007. Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC, I got my hands on a PC copy to review. Sneak and make sure to not get caught. But if you do, leave no witnesses! I originally played the first game in the series, yet stopped when I finished Assassin's Creed Revelations. I would have played more, but I just wasn't able to move on after playing three games with Ezio Auditore. No joke, I still say "Requiescat in pace" when I play any game with an assassin in it. Or when I pretend to surprise/kill any of my friends when I sneak up on them. But, let's not get side tracked with memory lane. AC Shadows was met with a lot...

Urban Jungle – PC Review

Create your own green haven: Urban Jungle has officially planted its roots on Steam and is available for purchase right now! Developed by Kylyk Games, a studio consisting of just 3 people, this cosy puzzle game is their jump into the development of PC games. One thing is certain: This game is sure to sprout some joy! So what are we waiting for? Let’s get growing! No Such Thing As “Too Many Plants” Unfortunately, I am the kind of person that manages to kill even the most resilient and “easy-to-care-for” plants out there. Apparently most of them need to be "watered" or they need "sunlight", whatever that's supposed to be. Luckily, in this game you don’t have to take care of them at all! It's as simple as placing them in the right spot, and they will be thriving without you having to do ...

Cinemaster Cinema Simulator – PC Review

Running a cinema isn’t something I would want to do, since I prefer gaming. But when Cinemaster Cinema Simulator popped up, I couldn’t deny I was curious. The game is developed by Overload Games and is looking to release on steam on March 27th. There is a demo out just in case you want to try before you buy, so click here. Time to catch an early screening. Gameplay No real set-up or story for Cinemaster Cinema Simulator, but we do get to name the place. After that, we get a brief tutorial on how everything works, and then we just rinse and repeat. You can select from a large choice of comedically named movies. Once picked, you’re able to organize the screening times. Major tip: don’t screen a movie all day otherwise you won’t get peace to replenish the confectioneries. It’s a pain w...
