Trombone Champ – PC Review

Trombone Champ, from Holy Wow Studios, made its way into our lives on 16th September on Steam. This quirky, random, and challenging rhythm-style game has been making waves since its release. Its meme-worthy viral content and hilarious gameplay has hit viral status on the net. I spent some time with the game recently after videos online gave me the urge to see what the game was all about. MASTER THE TROMBONE OR WILL THE TROMBONE MASTER YOU? Having been a fan of the music rhythm genre of games naturally, I'm drawn towards new games brought out like it.

Metal: Hellsinger – PC Review

Metal: Hellsinger is a first-person shooter from game developers The Outsiders and published by Funcom. The game was released on 15th September 2022 on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. I was pleased to see it arrive day one on Xbox's Game Pass so I grabbed myself a copy! This shoot-em-up however has a unique side to it however. It's a rhythm first-person shooter. Slice, dice, and explode demons in time with the almost tribal heavy metal music to your heart's content! MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL FOR EXPERT SKILLS? HELL YEAH! With hype building up over this game's unique playstyle I'm eager to delve into the underworld and see what it's all about. I love rhythm-type games in the past from Guitar Hero to Rockband. Plus I love the supernatural style FPS shooters like Doom. I'm excited to find ou...

Beacon Pines – PC Review

Changing fate and becoming a master of one’s own story is something everyone longs to be able to do. Indie developer Hiding Spot Games puts this front and centre with a blend of childlike inquisitiveness and dark, complex machinations only the adult mind can comprehend. Enter Beacon Pines. A BRANCHING TALE While visual novels aren't a big draw, adventure and choose-your-own-adventure games are soft spots for me. Beacon Pines is both. Being one of my Steam Next Fest highlights, I feverishly kept up with all updates on it. So like the art-loving, narrative-absorbing bibliophile I am, I was ready to get lost in the pages of a good book! Gameplay Beacon Pines tells the story of… well… a story! You are both the reader of a self-narrating book and its protagonist, young jackalope Luka VanHo...

Train Life – A Railway Simulator PC Review

Train Life - A Railway Simulator is the latest release from Polish devs Simteract. Published by Nacon, it is out now on PC and will be coming to consoles on 22nd September. Being a lover, for some bizarre reason, of transport tycoon-style games, I looked forward to actually being able to take part in the driving, as well as the managing of a railway empire. Train Life - A Lot Different to Park Life! Simteract appears to be a very interesting developer that originally focussed on creating professional simulators for training purposes, with a train simulator being one of them. They began to make games in 2018 and had the ability to build their creations based on the simulation technology that they already had perfected. From Traffic AI to City Generators, they seem very well set up ...
