The Last Case of John Morley – PC Review

I'll be attempting to uncover dark truths from 20 years ago in The Last Case of John Morley. It was created by Indigo Studios - Interactive Stories, and has us step into the shoes of the titular character John Morley. Will this truly be his last case? Who knows? See, thanks to this random hair I've found, clearly the perp doesn't close the door. Do you enjoy a mystery? If you do, then you'll need to add this to your Steam wishlist! Gameplay Our character, John Morley, wakes up after sustaining an injury from his last case. He is then quickly discharged from the hospital and upon returning to his offices is approached by an elderly woman. Who requests that he look into a murder cold case at Bloomsbury Manor which occurred 20 years ago. We of course take the job, because you know a ...

Anno 117: Pax Romana – PC Review

Every few years, the Anno series decides to take us somewhere new. We have built Renaissance trading hubs, industrial powerhouses, futuristic colonies in space, and deep-sea utopias. Anno 117: Pax Romana marks the first time the franchise marches back into ancient history and plants its eagle standard firmly in the Roman Empire. It is a bold move. Ancient Rome is one of the most overused settings in gaming, yet somehow rarely done justice on a strategic, city-building scale. Frontier provinces, political intrigue, marble megastructures, legions marching across dusty plains, it is all ripe for the taking. The question is whether Pax Romana manages to feel like a true Anno game while embracing the grandeur and brutality of the Empire it portrays. A Grand Strategy Worthy of an Emperor Th...

Superhero Simulator – PC Preview

Superhero Simulator is a single-player simulation game that has entered early access, brought to you by developer and publisher mightyracoon! Studios, you are given the opportunity to become the hero that Goldpine City needs. Do you have what it takes to become a superhero? Is it a bird, is it a plane? Being an avid fan of Marvel, I jumped at the opportunity to play Superhero Simulator. While it doesn’t have the backing of the likes of Insomniac’s Spider-Man series, it could be a great addition to the superhero genre of games. While I will be talking about the positives and negatives of the game, it must be remembered that this game is in early access. I am reviewing the game based on what is there currently. However, the mightyracoon! Studios have a clear plan for their development, ...

UMAMI- PC Review

Christmas is creeping closer each day, and nothing beats wrapping up warm and relaxing with a new cosy game. For me, this comes with Mimmox's, newly released puzzle game called UMAMI. A game that will have solving 3D puzzled food served up by some adorable chefs. Make sure to play while eating something. UMAMI is out now on Steam for £11.99. Is this ne you've got on your Wishlist? Or is this brand new to you? Let us know in the comments, and tuck into this review. Gameplay UMAMI's gameplay is basically a jigsaw, but 3D. You pick up pieces that you are able to rotate. When finding the correct slot, the piece will become locked in. Which is great because I'd sometimes think the piece was in the correct spot only for it to pop off. Each level follows the theme of an adorable chef with...

Coffee Bar Simulator – PC Review

Coffee Bar Simulator is a cosy café-management game, developed by Digital Melody and published by Games Incubator and PlayWay S.A. The premise is simple enough. Open up your own coffee shop, serve customers, and try to keep your tiny business running smoothly as rush hour hits. I played it on PC, and the game runs well with stable performance and quick loading times. A Relaxing Cup of Boredom As a newcomer to simulation games and someone with actual experience working in coffee shops and restaurants in the past, I really looked forward to playing Coffee Bar Simulator. Unfortunately, the game quickly became a monotonous stream of mouse clicks that didn't demand much brain power. It is only after I reached level three and the prompts stopped telling me what to do that things got a littl...

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 ...
