Whimside – PC Review

Whimside is a cute little creature-collecting game that lives right at the bottom of your screen, in which you can find and catch adorable creatures called Whimlings. Developed by Toadzillart and published by Future Friends Games, the game was recently released on Steam on August 7th. A Little Piece Of Whimsy I have been waiting for this game to release for ages. The big question now is: will it live up to my expectations and its hype? Gameplay In Whimside, your main objective is to collect adorable little creatures called Whimlings. Every Whimling you come across is a unique mix of different parts from different animals and mythical creatures, from their head and body to their ears and tail.

Two Point Museum: Fantasy Finds DLC – PC Review

Two Point Studios recently released the Fantasy Finds DLC, but what exactly does this add to the game that received a Platinum Award from me? Priced at £6.99 on Steam, it's super affordable if you enjoy the base game of Two Point Museum. Roll For Initiative! If you aren't sure about purchasing the full update, you can check out a small portion of the content in the base game. It's incredibly limited, but it gives you an insight into whether you are going to enjoy the fully fledged Fantasy Finds DLC. Gameplay I'm not going to go into the gameplay arc of Two Point Museum. If you want to read more about the actual game, then check out my link back at the top. Otherwise, let's dive into the Fantasy Finds DLC.

Block Factory – PC Review

Block Factory is a new, relaxing creative building game that hit the market on July 11th on Steam. In this game, developed by OverPowered Team and published by Shiro Unlimited, you get to build and optimize factories to create your own 3D figurines from building bricks. A Solid Foundation? My hopes for this game were pretty high, but unfortunately, some early performance issues let me down quite a bit. I don't believe that it's a bad game, but it sure took me for a ride. Oh, and just so you know, my factories in the screenshots are such a mess and, uhh, let's call it "compact", in order to avoid performance issues. Yeah totally, that's why. Nooo other reason, I swear! I'm not bad at optimising, maybe YOU are bad at optimising. I think you're projecting, really. Anyways, moving on. ...

Doctor Life Simulator – PC Review

Doctor Life Simulator is a new life-sim where we play as... well, a doctor. Created by the devs at Bleeding Edge Studio and Blackburne Games Studio FZ LLC, they aim to create where you save lives. While I'm writing an article to see if I can save you time and money. You pay for the best, and I'm the next "best" thing! The game is out now on Steam for £4.29 for any of those aspiring doctors out there. Gameplay Now, there wasn’t as much gameplay as I’d hoped to experience when playing Doctor Life Simulator. The tutorial kinda was the whole game. You have a daily quota to fulfil as well as a patient list. We then speak to them, and the NPC lists off what has been bothering them with key points highlighted in orange. Then you can diagnose them - if you already know the symptoms, which ...

The King Is Watching – PC Review

Hypnohead, the quirky minds behind The King Is Watching (out now on Steam), have teamed up with publishing powerhouse tinyBuild to deliver a truly unusual blend of strategy, roguelite and pixel-art kingdom micromanagement. In this kingdom, the King's literal Gaze decides what can exist, function, and survive. But what caught our eye (pun intended?) is an adorable duck with glasses. He takes over to advise during the tutorial and the first time doing new maps, but unfortunately, that is all you see of him. The King Is Watching — Let's hope he is entertained. So, before we dive into the meat of the review, drop your favourite King—real or fictional—in the comments. We want to know whether it's King Arthur, Dedede, or King Julian. Because the King may be watching, but we're reading. Ga...
