Pure Pool Pro – PC Review

Pure Pool Pro is the latest pool simulation game by Rockwater with publishing by Ripstone Ltd. (Poker Club, Chess Infinity). Play through a generous number of modes, game types, and difficulties, with achievements and customizations to unlock. It is now available on PC via Steam or Epic, as well as for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Table I Have, Pro I Am Not Growing up, I always made sure to bring a dime to the YMCA. For this was the cost to "rent" the set of balls and cues for the pool tables. I only recall knowing to pocket the colour balls opposite of your opponent. Since then I've picked up on a few more rules and a table with my current house too. I thought Pure Pool Pro could maybe teach me a thing or two more. I will admit that I had to look up the difference between pool, bi...

The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy – PC Review

Released February 12th, the Royalty & Legacy expansion for Sims 4 doesn’t simply layer crowns and capes onto familiar gameplay; it restructures the very foundation of social hierarchy and generational storytelling. Where past packs flirted with fame or influence, this one formalises power into a living system that reshapes how families rise, fall, and endure. Heavy is the Crown Set in the sweeping new world of Ondarion, there are windswept cliffs of rebellious Verdemar, steeped jungles of Dambele and the gleaming marble capital of Bellacorde; the expansion feels expansive in both scale and ambition. More than just a picturesque backdrop, Ondarion responds to whoever holds the throne: taxes shift, festivals erupt in royal celebration, and townsfolk bow or whisper as your monarch passe...

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN PC Review

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN an Action Adventure game from the most creative minds at Grasshopper Manufacture (Suda51). The same company that has created some the most beloved cult classic games like the No More Heroes series, Killer 7 and Lollipop Chainsaw. Even the games for animes such as Samurai Champloo and Blood + craftly made from this amazing company. The first exposure to Suda51's creative madness was actually when my cousins were playing Killer 7. And the rest was history to be frank. The rule of thumb when playing a Grasshopper game is to never think you can predict their next move. Gameplay ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is about...well Romeo. A deputy sheriff that while checking the body in the middle of the road got a severe injury. An injury that cost him his life, but thanks to his grandf...

Reanimal – PC Review

Reanimal was announced back in August 2024, is now finally out. It comes from the creators of Little Nightmares 1 & 2, and has us stepping into a dark, depressing world. I've had my eyes on this game since it was shown, and I am happy to be reviewing it. You can pick it up on Steam for £34.99 or grab the Deluxe Edition at the price of £49.99. That will snag you the season pass, and two additional masks. Honestly, though, seems a little steep. We're just animals still learning to behave Gameplay We are thrown into the world of Reanimal without any context. One of our main protagonists awake on a boat floating across a black ocean with nothing but red glowing life buoys to guide him. Shortly after, we save our second protagonist from the dark sea. And proceed onward with our journey...

Crimson Capes – PC Review

Crimson Capes is a pixel-art 2.5 D roguelike / roguelite developed and published by Poor Locke. The game is set in a dark-fantasy medieval Europe, where you can switch between four characters of the witch-hunting Crimson Capes guild. Retro Bloody Retro In recent years, the indie game industry has been flooded with roguelites, roguelikes, and metroidvania style games. Crimson Capes enters this crowded landscape with a realistic swordcombat "flow" that may be challenging at first but is highly satisfactory once mastered. This combat system relies strongly on the well-known formula of souls and soulslike games, patience, dodging, and precise timing. The story is centered around the adventures of Milon, also known as the Tempest, who has been ordered by the king to take down a conspir...

UFOphilia – PC Review

Bored of hunting ghosts like in Phasmaphobia? Well, k148 Game Studio, might be what you are looking for. In their new game UFOPHILIA, we hunt down extraterrestrial life, and document them for the Men in Black. Or horde the photos and go crazy, I don't judge. The game is out now on Steam for £10.99. If you are looking for another ghost hunting game but maybe solo. Might I suggest checking out my review for Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I. Seeing, is believing. Gameplay There is no story for UFOPHILIA, we just start off in a van, where we can select either the mission or a tutorial. I tried the tutorial, but it seemed that a tool wouldn't spawn. So, I decided to learn as I played. Like most hunting games of this type, our objective is to use our tools to narrow down, a possible alien,...
