KuloNiku: Bowl Up! PC Review

KuloNiku: Bowl Up! is Casual, Indie, Simulator from the same minds from Knight vs Giants, Gambir Studio. With the well known publisher Raw Fury. The same company that helped release Two Crowns, one very addictive game that I have over 100 hours in. KuloNiku is honestly inspiring me to make some interesting and tasty dishes. Yet, I've been really curious about the meatballs recipe that grandma made for the Protag to use. Now, let's get ready to chop some chilis, add some meatballs and start this review. Who comes into a ramen to ask for no soup in there ramen?! There's an Olive Oil Greenhouse down the road! Order up! KuloNiku: Bowl Up! has us starting by choosing the name and gender of the Protag. (Who I picked as my partner Yami) Which afterwards we discover that us with our close ...

Poppy Playtime: The Story So Far – PC Review

As horror boomed on Youtube, I was always a Five Nights At Freddy's gal. As a result of that, I've never played any of the Poppy Playtime games. With the release of chapter 5 back in February, I was lucky enough to be play all five chapters back to back. Does Poppy Playtime deserve the hype that it gets? Is it all a big marketing ploy to get you to buy some cuddly toys? I've spent many, many nights playing through to find out whether you need to add this Mob Entertainment franchise to your library. 15 plus hours of sadness, torture, death and running... no hour of joy to be found. A Brief Overview... Each chapter of Poppy Playtime plays into one interconnected story. However, the game introduces new characters, gameplay mechanics and more with each chapter. I have played ...

Cleaning Up! – PC Review

Cleaning Up! doesn’t have you clean ghosts, though cleaning trash can be just as scary. Or so I’ve been told. Unbound Creations has multiple “silly games” in its portfolio, and Cleaning Up! is the newest of the bunch. Quick, cozy, and extremely satisfying, Cleaning Up! builds on what it learned from its previous projects to deliver a low-pressure experience. It’s available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation starting April 15. Mops, Brooms, and a Lot of Trash Bags Cleaning Up! doesn’t bring anything new to the admittedly spotless table, but it does everything right. The game’s charming art style, simple but addictive gameplay loop, and quirky sense of humor ensure it’ll linger in my mind, even when I’m actually cleaning up. Of course, the infamous low cortisol meme song will b...

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss – PC Review

Lovecraftian horror, who is insane enough not to love the mythos. That is why I am checking out Big Bad Wolves' new narrative, cosmic horror game, Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. I watched the trailer a while back, and that caught my attention, but now I will finally get the chance to try it out on Steam. When he calls, maybe it's best not to answer. Gameplay We will be playing an Ancile Agent named Noah, who is tasked with investigating an underwater facility. This soon leads him rather quickly to the ancient city of R'lyeh. But he won't investigate alone thanks to his A.I. companion Key, who helps him stay focused and talks through his findings. Each chapter acts as its own little investigation, and most of them offer two ways to proceed. As one will cause Noah's brain to suffer with ...

OPUS: Prism Peak – PC Review

The game might be familiar if you have played some of Sigono's other works. For the record, I have not. But I am checking their new narrative adventure called OPUS: Prism Peak, where we step into a new land. All while aiding a young girl who isn't able to recall anything from her past. I hope you brought some tissues just in case this one is a tear-jerker. The game is available on Steam now. A single picture can hold a lifetime of memories. Gameplay OPUS: Prism Peak begins with us experiencing the memories of Eugene, who serves as the game's protagonist. While travelling home to attend his grandfather's funeral, he crashes his car and awakens in the Dusklands. It is here he meets our secondary protagonist, a mysterious girl who can not recall how she got there or her name. The game he...

Angel Engine – PC Review

"And the Lord Of All Games spake, 'Thou shalt not make a game in the image of a data entry overtime shift', and all saw and said it was good." -Polygonics 4:51 Angel Engine is a self-proclaimed "horror surgery simulator" developed by HMS Studios and Black Lantern Collective and published by NerveLabs and Aurakenn Games. It is currently only available for PC. Clocking In to the Martyr Factory The game is based on a highly-popular short-form analogue horror series of the same name, centered around humanity kidnapping an angel and performing horrific experiments on it it to try and stave off Armaggedon. Based on my research, the original Angel Engine series is controversial for heavy AI usage, to the point that the Steam page directly says that, unlike the original, this game doesn't...

I am Jesus Christ – PC Review

I won't lie, but I honestly did not expect to be reviewing a game like this, and a sim too. That is right I am checking out I Am Jesus Christ, created by Space Boat Studios, and thanks to them. We will step into the sandals of the messiah himself, Jesus. You can grab this right now on Steam for £11.39. "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12) Gameplay I Am Jesus Christ will let us experience the New Testament as the titular character, as he journeys the Middle East performing miracles. Some of the miracles you will perform consist of healing the lame, guiding fish, walking on water, and... this shocked me, exorcisms. All of these play out in little mini-games for you to play, like guiding a symbol while avoiding a serpent. While another had me use my mouse cursor to guide some fish ...

The House of Hikmah – PC Review

Have you ever played a video game inspired by the golden age of Arabic scientific and cultural development? Would you like to? The House of Hikmah is a 3D puzzle-platformer developed and published by Lunacy Studios, in their grand debut. Lunacy is an interesting studio: an independent, fully-remote, junior-built team dedicated to making diverse, narrative-heavy stories. Will Lunacy's ethically-sourced games nudge out a healthy space in a crowded market that can't even support Fortnite? Well, based on the experience I, a pasty white boy who is most certainly not part of the target audience, had with it, I believe they can. The House of Hikmah is a short, comfortable, well-crafted experience, like drinking a bowl of homemade soup. But what makes it so satisfying? The Key To Success ...

Hozy – PC Review

Hozy, developed by Come On Studio and published by tinyBuild, just released on Steam on March 30th. Discover your new passion for restoring the sense of community that once filled the streets of your hometown. Room by room, space by space. Hozy? Homey? Cozy? Who doesn't enjoy cleaning? Exactly. Everyone. Not a task I'm looking forward to, personally. Cleaning in video games tho? Now THAT is a different story. Gameplay Each level in Hozy follows roughly the same loop. First of all, you need to remove the heaps and heaps of trash that are covering the entire ground. With all of that out of the way, you have easy access to the floors that desperately need some sweeping. Then you clean the windows and throw some paint on the walls if the wallpaper is really beyond saving. And voilà! Yo...
