EA Sports PGA Tour – PC Review

EA Sports have returned! Well they haven't really returned, but they have removed Rory and left behind Tiger. It's now the age of EA Sports PGA Tour. Yes it's a mouthful, but it works. Recently released, we managed to take to the course and on the first tee. EA Sports PGA Tour, Fore the Golfers! How are you finding EA Sports PGA Tour? Do you have a favourite course, and why is it Augusta? Let us know in the comments. Gameplay As with any golf game, the main focus for me is how the game feels to play. Golf as a game is all about the connection from backswing through the transition to downswing. So how does EA Sports PGA Tour handle that feeling? Actually really well. With EA's new Purestrike system, it brings a more fluid system to your golf swing. Incorporating 20 shot types with fluid...

Hunt The Night – PC Review

Creators at Moonlight Games and publishers DANGEN Entertainment have created a beautiful 2-D pixel Gothic-styled game. That mixes fast gameplay with a dark fantasy world filled with danger and mystery. If you love the Castlevania aesthetic with a dash of Bloodborne. Then players should check out Hunt The Night when it drops on April 13th of this year from Steam. The night calls out. What pulled me in with Hunt The Night was the boss designs in the screenshots, they are stunning, and I'm hoping this is consistent throughout the game. I'm a sucker for dark fantasy worlds, especially when going against huge monstrosities created for twisted rituals or unlocking forbidden knowledge. Gameplay Players will explore Medhram as Vesper, a young, quiet girl raised in a group known as The Stal...

Blood Bowl III – PC Review

From Nacon publishing comes the next entry, Blood Bowl III, created by Cyanide Studios. Released on February 23rd this year, players get another shot at taking their teams to the top. You can pick up this strategy-RPG game on Xbox and PlayStation for £34.99 with the Brutal Edition for £49.99 or grab it on Steam for £24.99. A Switch port is currently in development, with a release planned sometime this year. All's fair in blood and Waaaagh! I was never good at sports games like Madden, Fifa or PGA tour. But I am good at a few strategy games, so Blood Bowl looked like my shot at being good at some sports without actually being good at them. A mixture of the NFL and Warhammer franchise, I look forward to bashing some skulls in with Da Boiz. Gameplay Players can choose to play either o...

Titanium Hound – PC Review

I got to look at the self-published indie title Titanium Hound created by Red Spot Sylphina. A 2D action platformer with cyberpunk style pixel art released back in October 2022 for; Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and the platform I played on Steam. You can grab this for £11.39 or on sale for £5.69 from the Steam store. A different take on Robocop I was surprised to see this game go under everyone's radar as I couldn't find many gameplay videos on the whole game. The visuals look great, and the story seemed promising. I don't play a lot of 2D platformers, but I love the idea of being able to be a Police Officer and taking down criminals in a giant mech. Gameplay Players will play as Grace Alarie, a Special Police Force Officer who's pulled into a conspiracy involving the government and ...

Mato Anomalies – PC Review

Arrowiz, the studio that brought you Cairo's Tale and Beat Fever, and with help from Prime Matter publishing comes Mato Anomalies. A visual novel, JRPG, is based in a futuristic city. Mato Anomalies was released on March 10th of this year. You can play it on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and Steam for £31.99. It's only a "Mato" of time. The trailer for Mato Anomalies looks to me like a cross between Persona and Slay The Spire. Being someone who doesn't usually go for the visual novel genre, I thought I would give this one a go. Playing two protagonists caught my interest, and the story of uncovering the strange world of Mato made me even more curious. Explore the neo-futuristic world of Mato as Doe, a private detective dragged into a job to discover the whereabouts of the product HANDOUT. D...
