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...

Dead Format – PC Review

Who said VHS is dead? Clearly not the development team at Katanalevy. Since their, new game Dead Format is very much fresh and new on Steam. You can pick it up for £14.49 right now. What if video did really kill the radio star? Gameplay We play as a nameless guy, whose brother has magically disappeared. On arrival to his flat and looking through his clues to a gift he has left us, we uncover a GHL tape. Unlike a VHS tape, the GHL (otherwise called Ghoul) tape allows us to enter the tapes themselves. And as it always goes, the player begins to search for said brother, and uncover much more. Now, there is combat and healing item that you can find to aid you, and no need to worry as there is a lot scattered around. In addition to typical ammo, the player is able to fin number plates and ...

This Ain’t Even Poker Ya Joker PC Review

This Ain't Even Poker, Ya Joker is an Auto Clicker, Strategy game from Mash. The game is basically Cookie Clicker with Poker. And less Grandmas aiming to take over the world. The game allows you set it and forget it, but there are a few bugs to it. We'll go over more about it in the Graphics and Audio portion. Also, because this doesn't have much to go off on this might be one of my shortest reviews. Did you know that the odds of getting a royal flush is 649,739 to 1? Gameplay This Ain't Even Poker, Ya Joker has you meeting with a Jester, who is holding you hostage. Saying you'll need to make 1 billion coins in order to release you. You start off with one card and will need to earn coins to unlock more cards to make a hand. The coins can be used to either increase your cards or in th...

Dream Garden is simulation game about creating your very own Zen garden. Developer Campfire Studio (My Dream Setup) provides the creative tools and set pieces based on real-life, tiny, Japanese dioramas. You can pick it up now for PC (and Mac) on Steam. Zen Garden of your Dream I never really got into any crafting type of hobbies, and miniature Zen gardens and bonsai trees were only things I saw in movies and TV. However, I'm intrigued by Dream Garden, as it seems like a way to engage with that type of craft in a familiar format. Check out my thoughts below. Gameplay Dream Garden is a creative simulation space for modelling a miniature Zen garden. The game provides a number of tools to shape, colour, texture, and decorate your choice of background and sandbox. It's basically like a...

Unboxathon – PC Review

I'll be unpacking a new game created by Skye, it is called Unboxathon. The game looks simple, fun, and if you are looking to try before you buy, a demo is also out on Steam. It is tagged as a clicker game, so for any infamous Cookie Clicker fans, this is your time to shine. For more idler-type games, why not check some of the games Charlie has reviewed? Unpack and relax. Gameplay Unboxathon has the player opening random parcels to sell various trinkets. You can also save items for a passive income, by archiving them and placing them on a shelf in a different window. Additional shelves are purchased at the same window, but they will need Cogs. As the player accumulates money, there will be a good few sections to check out to further increase money. And with certain upgrades, new box...
