That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles – PC Review

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is an Action RPG City Builder developed by ZOC Corp. Published by Bandai Namco, comes a game for this popular anime series that isn't mobile only. Normally when an anime gets a video game adaptation, you'd get one of two things. They'll either find a point of the story to add something that wasn't ever in the books. Or they'll have us play the current story with our own hands to experience the whole thing first hand. I'm keen to see which road this takes us on. Forget you, I'm going to build my own city! With monsters...and a slime? Yeah! A slime! Gameplay That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles gives us a long recap. Which if you aren't a fan of the anime is much needed. This is followed by a small tutoria...

Ario tells the story of a young warrior named Ario, who embarks on a perilous journey to rescue his mother from the clutches of dark forces.

Ario, this game needed some more air yo. What really stands out in Ario is the vibrant art style and dark atmosphere.

Just Crow Things – PC Review

What do you call a group of crows? A murder! Which is very apt as this game has murdered my free time. Just Crow Things is an action adventure sandbox game developed by Unbound Creations. The same developers responsible for the wonderful stress relieving game called Rain On Your Parade. Before playing I was already impressed by the fact I would be playing as a tool wielding crow. Although it really helps me sleep at night that crows in real life can't do all that this game character can! This review was written by a living breathing crow named Noir. Gameplay Just Crow Things has you playing as a crow (who I named Tenebrae). Your Crow Grandma has decided you're old enough to venture the world and make our own nest. Before fully pushing us out of the nest Grandma gifts us a family he...

Hellbreach: Vegas – PC Review

Hellbreach: Vegas is a wave-based zombie co-op shooter moving from Early Access to a 1.0 release on Steam. It has been available in Early Access on Steam since early March this year, but solo indie developer Infinity Ape Studios has stuck to his 6-month timeline. With publishing by Iceberg Interactive (Star Dynasties, AirportSim), the official 1.0 launch date was yesterday i.e. August 14th, 2024. Now this is Zombie Slaying!

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit – PC Review

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit is a new game created and published by Mega Cats Studios. Although it’s based on the book of the same name, it only tells one of the three stories. The game has been out since August 7th on Steam and looks great from some of the screen shots I’ve seen. It’s available for £16.75. May be a short game, but it's gonna be a long night. I’ve always enjoyed the Five Nights at Freddy's games and the lore surrounding them. I admit, however, that the books are something I haven't touched. Not for any political reason but because it’s not my preferred media of choice. When I heard a game was being made based on (I think) the first book, I was happy to check it out. This way I can enjoy the book without having to read it! Gameplay Within Into The Pits we...
