Monster Energy Supercross 4 Review – Don’t Go Packing!

Milestone, a publisher who form part of Koch Media along with been known for its back catalogue of bike racing titles have brought us the next instalment in the Supercross series. Monster Energy Supercross 4 is the latest title from Milestone, officially releases on the 11th March 2021 and will be available on PC, Xbox and Playstation. I Don't Crash! They Call It Stopping With Style! Having previously checked out the Nintendo Switch port of Monster Energy Supercross 3. Looking back the Switch port did not look the best it could have and did feel a little clunky now and then. I am looking forward to seeing how the next instalment fairs up on a more powerful machine. Hopefully, it delivers the Supercross fix I am looking for. Gameplay As with most racing titles, there isn't much of a sto...

Hell Let Loose – Get Ready Private!

However, they all seem to miss one element which can sometimes be overshadowed by unlocks, gun attachments, etc. and communication and teamwork can be forgotten about. Hell Let Loose is the flagship title for Black Matter Studios. Released in June 2019, Hell Let Loose is developed solely for PC on the Unreal Engine. Hell Let Loose - Is it As Realistic As You Can Get? I hadn’t heard of this game before seeing this recommended in my Steam account. Approaching this game with an open mind, I dived straight in.

Donut County Review – Not Quite That Tasty

Welcome to my PC review of Donut County. Ben Esposito (Tattletail) is the developer of this puzzle game. The publishers are Annapurna Interactive (Outer Wilds, What Remains Of Edith Finch?). In Donut County the player controls a hole in the ground, swallowing up everything in sight. This game was actually spawned off of a game jam idea. Of which the idea was initially created from pitches from a parody Twitter account of well-known game designer Peter Molyneux. It is also inspired by franchises such as Katamari Damacy and Hopi figurines. Donut County - It Really Isn't That Tasty, Unfortunately. Donut County is a recent addition to Xbox Game Pass for PC. It's also available on PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and also MacOS. I thought I would give it a go as a friend recommended it to me. I...
