Monster Harvest Review

Monster Harvest, a pixel art title developed by Maple Powered Games and published by Merge games was released to us in August 2021. The title is available across most platforms and is out now. Is This Just Another Farming Simulator? I am always dubious when it comes to farming simulators, they can sometimes be pretty tedious. However, when they get the storyline right along with some epic gameplay. You can be onto a winner that will keep you entertained for months if not years. Join me below as I check out Monster Harvest. Gameplay Monster Harvest has a storyline that is very similar to other titles alike. A family member reaches out to who you haven't spoken to in a while and of course, he is asking you for a favour. As he has been far too busy to look after his farm due to important ...

Let’s Build A Zoo Review

Welcome to my review of Let's Build a Zoo on the PC. Brought to us by developers Springloaded and publishers No More Robots (Heist Sim, Not Tonight), Let's Build a Zoo lets you build and manage your own zoo, with a twist. Splice genomes from different animals to create animals from your wildest dreams. Build Your Own Zoo With A Twist! With the success of previous Zoo-based management games from other developers and publishers, can this game follow hot in their trail?

Demon Turf Review

Demon Turf is an exciting 3D platformer from developer Fabraz and publisher Playtonic Friends. Fabraz has been incredibly busy making Demon Turf available on the 4th November 2021 on PC (Steam, Epic Store, and GOG), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Switch. From the moment I saw the trailer, I knew I wanted to review Demon Turf. It looked like a mad scientist had crossed Mario 64 with Jet Set Radio. These are two of my favourites, so I couldn't wait to see the result and jumped at the opportunity to try the Steam version. So does it live up to my lofty expectations? Find out below in my Demon Turf review. Demon Turf - Can Beebz capture the Demon King's crown? Our heroine Beebz is a 1000-year-old demon who wants to become the Demon Queen. To do so, she must conquer four Turfs, overt...

Model Builder Preview

Model Builder by developers Moonlit and Kuba Wójcik is, as it sounds, a model building simulator. Everyone at some time in their life has probably built a model, with varying outcomes. Published by Green Man Gaming will this be a tedious affair or a total breeze? Model Builder - 0% Chance of Gluing Fingers Together! I am quietly optimistic, having reviewed Balsa Model Flight Simulator recently. If you like what you read, give the demo a chance over in the Steam store! Gameplay Before I start I will say that there was a disclaimer that it was a game in progress therefore I will concentrate on the main gameplay and only report if there are any game-breaking bugs. From the off, you can select from a campaign and sandbox mode. Sandbox needs no intro therefore it was straight ont...

Back 4 Blood – Team Review

Its time for another TC Group review, and this time it's Back 4 Blood that gets the treatment! Check out what the members of the TC team thought of this from developers, Turtle Rock Studios. What We Thought Martin During my playtime of the beta of Back 4 Blood open beta, I did not enjoy this game. However, upon playing the game on full release I can safely say that I was very wrong with my opinion. Back 4 Blood is a brilliant game. The gunplay is great, each weapon feels completely different, and the tools and accessories you can use vary quite a lot. The horde of Ridden charging at you is intense and will get you sitting on the edge of your seat especially when the "Special Ridden" come for you. These range from massive "Exploders" who are actually more dangerous when they get kille...
