Twilight Oracle – PC Review

In a world of strange creatures and unknown worlds, a supernatural gift is commonplace and doesn’t stop you from being at the bottom of the class. But even a straight-F student has a chance to orchestrate monumental change. ‘80s-reminiscent developer Cosmic Void returns with another pixel art point-and-click adventure: Twilight Oracle. Blending sci-fi, fantasy and zany antics, it's a bonkers tale that Dalí would take notes from! Struggling student Leo is in quite the pickle. His grades are woeful, his prospects grim and his ability to breathe underwater is going to waste. Brought before the school Magistrate, he is given an ultimatum: redeem himself by retrieving a renegade disciple or be banished and stripped of his gift forever. Well, banishment would be kinda long and boring. And if ...

Granblue Fantasy Relink PC Review

Granblue Fantasy Relink is an Action RPG, developed by Cygames. The series has been around since 2014 as a turn-based RPG mobile app. Sadly this mobile game is only available in Japan and still running the last 10 years with new campaigns. They even have crossover characters from Anime and Manga that were popular at those times. Though you can also watch the Granblue Fantasy anime to catch up on the story before going through Relink.

Tekken 8 – PC Review

Tekken 8 is a 3-D Fighting game developed and published by Bandai Namco. First released in 1994, this franchise has been going for almost 30 years. It's available on PC, Xbox series X/S, and PS5 with crossplay and rollback netcode. There was some controversy over adding more accessibility for both colorblind and disabled players. Due to the fact that the game would cause players to have migraines and vertigo. Ian Hamilton discovered this issue during the demo of the game and voiced their concern about this issue. After some back and forth from the community, Bandai Namco did update their options to accommodate all players in the release of the game. Will you become the next King of Iron Fist Tournament Champion or become a rocket powered salmon! That also have heat seeking? Ok! Who i...

Home Safety Hotline – PC Review

Home Safety Hotline is an immersive analog horror experience where players must take calls with problems anywhere from mundane everyday household issues like black mold, all the way to the unimaginable horrors that lurk, and everything in between. Computer says no Home Safety Hotline from Developer Night Signal Entertainment, released on January 16th, 2024, after a demo period during the Steam Next Fest 2023, and is available now on Steam. Story & Gameplay The gameplay loop here is simple, as such story and gameplay will be bundled into one. Most of the enjoyment of Home Safety Hotline comes from the creatures, their designs, and their description, so I’ll keep spoilers to the early game. Players take the role of an unnamed character who, congratulations! has just been ac...

It was developed by Nano Games (Zamb!, Cityconomy, Reef Shot) and published by simulation giant Aerosoft. It is available now on Steam, PS5, and Xbox series X|S.

Anyhow, I hadn't really thought of there being a competitive component to driving a heavy truck until I heard about Heavy Duty Challenge. In hi...

Unstoppable – PC Review

I checked out Unstoppable, a game created and self-published by Funnylocks Corp. The player will fight through dark offices and fend off against the infected as they try to escape after delivering a suspicious parcel. The game was released on the 11th of this month for Steam with the price of £10.99. Unstoppable's Steam page emphasises realistic combat and unpredictable foes. I don't get paid enough for this! Gameplay In Unstoppable, you'll play as Frederick, a courier tasked with dropping off a bioweapon at a corporate building called Pegasus. Once he finishes the delivery, Fred gets stuck on the upper floors and must fight his way down. The game is played from the top-down perspective, although the game is playable via a controller. I had issues while the keyboard and mouse worked f...

Risk of Rain Returns – PC Review

Getting to revisit the original format of Risk of Rain brings a ting of nostalgia. And the recalibration to my brain that I can move away from the teleporter when starting. It.....it took a while for it to sink in. A little too long and many Huntresses were harmed in the making of this review. Risk of Rain Returns is an Action, Rougelike, Multiplayer game that's developed by Hopoo Games. The original developers of Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2. The funny thing I'd like to note for readers is that Risk of Rain Returns was released 10 years ago that day. No kidding, Risk of Rain released on Nov. 8th 2013. I do wonder if they planned for this to happen. Or they had a meeting and realized that their 10th anniversary was coming and went to get us a gift. The fact that no one knew this g...
