Moonlight Peaks – PC Review

Moonlight Peaks is a brand-new entry to the farming sim genre. Developed by Little Chicken and published by XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe, the game released on July 7th on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Google Play Games. Raise mystical crops, cast spells and brew potions in this fresh new spin on the classic formula! WARNING: SUM OF DIS REVIEW IS XTREMLY SCARY. Originally, I wanted to fill this review with as many My Immortal references as I could. I have made the executive decision to not do that, for both your and my own sanity. Sorry to be such a prep. Gameplay Moonlight Peaks is not your typical farming game. Instead of inheriting some farm from some dead relative, you have actively chosen to run away from home. As the child of Dracula, you just had enough of your father and h...

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu – PC Review

I'm here checking out the latest release of The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, a cooperative-exploration game. Where you alone or with three friends will begin to uncover what Lovecraftian horrors that ACE Team, has created on the island. If you're like me and love anything cosmic horror or at least has Lovecraftian themes, then you can pick The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu on Steam. Maybe you are looking for some other suggestions to scratch that Lovecraft itch, then check out my articles for Necrophosis, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, and Stygian: Outer Gods. Don't trust anything, not even your own eyes! Gameplay Upon loading into The Mound, the player will be able to select from one of four characters to play from. From what I played selecting a character is more for visual and effect rather than ...

Exo Rally Championship – PC Review

Exo Rally Championship is the latest exoplanetary racing sim by Exbleative (Exo One). Take rally style racing to the starts and compete in challenging courses across terraformed planets. Explore the surfaces in free roam or kick things up a notch with time trials. With publishing by Future Friends Games (Tiny Aquarium, Clover Pit), roll on up today with it only on Steam. Speed Isn't Everything in Exo Rally Championship Racing games have been around forever but I've never really been drawn to the more in-depth ones. Arcade style racing games, like Cruisin' USA and San Francisco Rush were more my style. I never got into the more realistic games like the Grand Turismo series. Though I'm only vaguely familiar with rally style racing in real life, Exo Rally Championship looks like it is somew...

Gothic 1 Remake – PC Review

Gothic 1 Remake is an open-world RPG developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic. The Barcelona-based developers have brought back to life this 2001 German jewel, which at the time of its release was considered one of the best European-made games. The project for the remake was first revealed in 2019. Seven long years later, devotees of the game are longing to know one thing: Has it aged like milk or like fine wine? Grab a pike and a shovel, we're digging for the truth in the ancient ore mines of Myrtana! Between A Hard Place And A Rock Gothic 1 Remake stays fiercely loyal to its source material. Not even as much as a cutscene has been altered from the original game. This is, of course, to be expected, since any alterations may provoke the fury of keyboard warrior...

The 7th Guest Remake – PC Review

Back in 1993, The 7th Guest was a massive deal. I was only 13 years old, and it felt completely groundbreaking. At the time, seeing real video footage of actors overlayed right on top of those drawn graphical backgrounds was mind-blowing; nobody had ever seen a hybrid mixture like that before. Because it was such a product of its time, I was honestly really unsure how The 7th Guest would come across in a modern remake. Old man Stauf built a house... It's tough to capture that lightning in a bottle twice, especially when the original relied so heavily on tech that was considered black magic back then. But stepping back into this world on PC, I was pleasantly surprised. Gameplay The core setup puts you back in the shoes of an unnamed spirit wandering the dark, forgotten halls of an e...

Cheap Car Repair – PC Review

Cheap Car Repair is…a car repair sim. I know, I'm as shocked as you are. Developed by Little Dog Games and published by Simplicity Games and PlayWay S.A., the game was released on Steam on May 28th. Just Slap Some Paint On It When I first saw this game get announced way back in the day, I was really excited to try it out! I love car repair sims! (Even though I never even got my license, and I don't care about IRL cars whatsoever). Was the wait worth it? Eh. Let's see. Gameplay In Cheap Car Repair, you run your very own car repair shop in a small Polish village…but you are completely broke, so you gotta improvise! Cut corners, steal parts and try not to get caught. Bootleg repairs are the main feature in the game, like swapping windshield fluid for dish soap, mixing water into ga...

Dave the Diver: In the Jungle PC Review

Dave the Diver: In the Jungle is a continuation of the Dave the Diver game. Harpooned by the brilliant minds at MINTROCKET. Honestly it was a great way to dive into the game with more mechanics and characters to fall in love with again. Getting some freshwater fish and the new materials for some new changes as well. Now let's put our diving suits on and get Bancho the special ingredient of this review. The one place where can have both a somewhat lime and access to coconuts. You should already know where I'm going with this. Gameplay Dave the Diver: In the Jungle brings a lot of new changes that I'm actually here for. Not only do we go to a jungle village to help them is a Blue Hole issue but with freshwater. But also trying to solve this large issue of dinosaurs washing up on shore.....

Moldwasher – PC Review

I am always on the lookout for more cleaning sims, and the latest one to catch my eye is Moldwasher. A cute little pixel cleaning simulator, where we are a small bit of sentient sushi, who must clean up in various levels. The game was created by the team at Rubel Games, and available on Steam. A demo is also available right now for players to try before they buy. A piece of food removing mould, isn't what I would expect. Gameplay We play as a cute piece of sushi that has the task of removing mould from around a kitchen. Levels in Moldwasher have us cleaning various items you would find in the kitchen, some of these are needed to finish the level. While some are labelled as hidden dirty items. Some of these hidden items may offer stickers or soundtracks that you will use in the little ...

LumenTale: Memories of Trey PC Review

LumenTale: Memories of Trey is an Action, Adventure, RPG from Beehive Studios with assistance from Team17. The game uses a turn-based combat system similar to other such games. However there's a catch, you'll get to have a team of four Animon fighting at the same time! But, there are a few other twists in this game that really have you strategizing. Yet, I did try to do some online battles to no avail. Now let's fling out Holoken and start the show! What do you mean I can't do Yo-yo tricks when using the Holoken! I wanted to do an around the world trick before catching one! Gameplay LumenTale: Memories of Trey has you start off with a quiz that I still don't know what it was for. Although after a few minutes of answering those questions, you wake up as Trey. An android that was discov...

Moonsigil Atlas – PC Review

Moonsigil Atlas is a new deckbuilding strategy roguelike by Snake Tower Games. Use the geometric shape of sigils from cards and fit them into physical space. Combine features from different cards to maximize their abilities. Published by Twin Sails Interactive (Ember Knights, Gloomhaven), take back the heavens today on PC/Linux only on Steam. A Battle for the Heavens, Across the Atlas It seems I've been running across roguelites and roguelikes across all sorts of formats. I suppose it helps being more familiar with the game formula now. Moonsigil Atlas isn't anything like those that I've played before though. I was curious to see just how different things would be so here we are. Needless to say it was an entertaining experience. Check out my thoughts below. Gameplay Moonsigil Atla...
