ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN PC Review

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is an Action, RPG, and Roguelite game made by FromSoftware. It takes place in the ELDEN RING universe, but it exists on its own two legs. I have been noticing that lately, we've had a few roguelikes that choose to have a three-person team, like Windblown, which is my strongest memory of this example. With it being a game from FromSoftware, the difficulty of the game is only in one mode. Which, for some new people coming into the game, would think it's a very difficult game. However, for people who understand FromSoftware's history and roguelites, this is what makes it fun. "How hard?" You may be asking. Oh ho ho ho. Just keep reading to see if I can let you understand what to expect. Yes! Old enemies to face and *someone whispering in my ear* WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ...

SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure – PC Review

I've been searching for a game to fill the gap that Cuisineer has left. So when indie developers kopiforge reached out offering the chance to play their new game SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure I couldn't say yes fast enough. Recently released on Steam for around £13, this game promises a cooking-combat adventure. And even better it's first and foremost a co-op game! Wok hard, Play Harder As one half of a co-op streaming channel, you can often find me moaning that the co-op genre has been brimming with games that are much of the same muchness. Same gameplay recipe, slightly different game dished up. Which is where I'm really hopeful that SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure is different. Let's head out on this quest together. Plot The story begins with friends Som and Gon walking along the beac...

Developed by Castle Pixel and published by Playtonic Friends, this cowboy themed farming sim just rode its way onto Steam, Switch, Xbox Series X|S and PS5! For today's review I'll be playing the PC version. Yeehaw! Aight, listen up. I love me some farming sims, and could play them all day, every day. A lot of recent releases have been rather hit or miss for me, but this one I really enjoy playing. Sure, there are some minor flaws and issues, but most are already being worked on and, let's be real, which game doesn't have a few of those? Enough negativity for now! The game has so many areas in which it absolutely shines, and I can't wait to get into...

The Siege and the Sandfox – PC Review

The Siege and the Sandfox is an Action, Adventure, Metroidvania coming from Cardboard Sword. With the help of PLAION from the publishing side. This game being Cardboard Sword's first entry into the gaming industry and is out now on Steam. Sneak in the shadow, strike like a club, but remember to be the Sandfox This game does look gorgeous with it's 2-d pixel art style. Yet, within my complete playthrough, I felt as if something was either wrong or missing. I did come across some bugs that did break my immersion during my session. Basically, the entire adventure felt well executed, but like every gem, not every gem can be flawless. Let's get into the full review. Gameplay The Siege and the Sandfox has you playing Kasha'i or better yet known as the Sandfox. An agent of the people, wh...

Cubic Odyssey – PC Review

Cubic Odyssey is a new voxel-style open world survival crafting game by Atypical Games (Radiation Island, Infinite Tanks). Explore, build, and craft your way through a voxel galaxy alone or with friends. The game is available now with publishing by Gaijin Network Ltd (War Thunder) on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S (but not via Game Pass). For this review I'll be taking a deeper look at the PC version via Steam. Speeders and Spaceships? Count Me In! Alright so let's get this right out of the way. Yes, Cubic Odyssey at a glance looks like a wanna-be Minecraft. There I said it. You can't deny you thought it too just looking at screenshots. I admit that I thought this as well - until I got to review it. I'm thankful for the opportunity to enjoy it, because there's a lot more to th...

Projected Dreams – PC Review

Projected Dreams, the debut title from small Swiss-based Flawberry Studios, is a heart-warming tale told through the medium of shadows. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and possibly go crazy solving an increasingly mind-bending collection of puzzles. You'll also not be able to buy it until 29th May. But that doesn't stop you adding it your Steam Wishlist! The Last Of The Shadow Puppets Can your shadow puppet skills carry Senka through the journey of life?

Best Served Cold – PC Review

Best Served Cold is a brand-new detective-themed visual novel by the independent developer and publisher Rogueside Games. It's currently available on Steam with a planned launch on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X at a later date. Serve drinks, solve cases, and make sure the cops don't shut down your illegal little speakeasy. Whodunit? Oh, this one's a good one, alright. I have not touched a visual novel game in years, but I am so happy that I picked this game up. I got really invested in the story and basically binged the game in one day, much to the demise of my sleep schedule (once again). It's not my fault! I expect a handwritten apology letter from the devs for making their game too engaging. While we wait for that, let's have a look at the game, shall we? Also, let me...

JDM: Japanese Drift Master – PC Review

There’s something about the underground world of drifting that has long fascinated motorsport fans. I love going to Brands Hatch each year for their annual JDM competition! From the winding mountain roads of Japan to the iconic scenes of Tokyo's neon-lit streets, drift culture has captured the imagination of gamers and car enthusiasts alike. JDM: Japanese Drift Master, by devs Gaming Factory, sets out to pay tribute to this legacy with a focus on authentic drift mechanics, a story-driven single-player experience, and a lovingly recreated Japanese backdrop. But does it slide into pole position, or spin out before the first corner? "There's no 'wax on wax off' with drifting. You learn by doing it" Han, Tokyo Drift (2006) Gameplay At its core, JDM: Japanese Drift Master is a driving s...

Islands & Trains – PC Review

Get ready to create beautiful little dioramas in Islands & Trains! Developed by Akos Makovics and published by Future Friends Games, this charming sandbox game invites you to craft your own unique islands and train networks. Just let your creativity run free! The game is set to launch on Steam on May 29th. All Aboard! When I was younger, dioramas always fascinated me. They are so small, yet often so detailed it really feels like a piece of the world has been cut out, shrunk down and shoved onto a display table. So when I had the opportunity to try this game out, I was more than excited to put my creativity to the test and see if I would ever be able to build something this elaborate myself. And boy was my creativity being tested. Turns out it's not that easy. At all. Gameplay A...
