Zoo Simulator – PC Review

This week has been all about simulation games for me. Today's is another new release from publishers PlayWays S.A. and developed by Game Incubators. This time around, I'm taking on the role of a zoo owner in Zoo Simulator. Although the actual zoo doesn't start off as much, hopefully I can make it a place Steve Irwin would have been proud of! You can pick up Zoo Simulator right now on Steam for £15.49. An animal kingdom to be proud of Gameplay Upon starting the game your zoo is rundown. Which means you have to start by renovating enclosures. We do this in a variety of ways, such as fixing faucets, so that the animals can drink, and removing old broken habitats, to keep the same animals safe. You can buy all the necessary tools via the computer in the main office and later on via a ta...

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes – PC Review

Simogo have held a special place in my heart since December 2020. A friend introduced me to Sayonara Wild Hearts around that time. It quickly became one of my favourite games of all time and I have listened to the soundtrack obsessively ever since. When Lorelei and the Laser Eyes was revealed, I was very cautiously interested. The vibrant colours and upbeat music that drew me to their previous title was replaced by an monochromatic aesthetic and a very eerie, mysterious vibe. However, there was never any doubt that I was going to pick this up day one and see what they'd cooked up. See It All Through Laser Eyes Before we get into the review, I want to preface it with this. If you're at all interested in playing this game with as little up-front knowledge as possible, grab a notepad and...

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication – PC Review

I’m playing The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication, although this is the second game from Softstar Entertainment, you don’t need to play the first. The game is out now and is available is on Steam for £20.99. I haven’t played the previous entry, but this game caught my eye with their Steam page saying it was also based on a popular movie. For the movie enthusiast out there, the two movies I found are The Bridge Curse (2020) and The Bridge Curse: Ritual (2023). There can't be darkness without light. Gameplay In The Bridge Curse 2, you will play from the perspective of four individuals, starting with the young reporter Sue Lian. Sue gets offered to interview the members of the film club at Wen Hua University. Like most horror games, things aren’t that simple, and she gets pulled into a n...
