Piece By Piece – PC Review

Pick up your super glue because it's time to get fixing in Gamkat's debut game Piece By Piece. Releasing today, we got our hands on the game early to see whether it's a perfect piece or the cracks are showing. You can get Piece by Piece on Steam now! Everything's a jigsaw when you have to put it back together piece by piece Gameplay Like with most cosy games, Piece By Piece starts with you inheriting grandad's old shop. From there, it is up to you to make the most of what you've got. The main gameplay comes from interacting with customers and fixing up whatever broken item they bring. Fixing the items is like putting a puzzle together. The game breaks every item into pieces, and you put it back together. It's a very simple mechanic, but it is done really well. However, it's ...

Collector’s Cove – PC Review

I will be checking out a new cosy game by VooDooDuck. We play as a Collector, in Collector's Cove, who aims to be the best and hopefully meet our parents one day. Before that can happen we need to team up with our new aquatic friend, the FableFin and fill up our book. It looks relaxing, and something to switch off your brain too. If that sounds like something you need, then it is out on Steam now! Gotta plant'em all, collect-a-thon! Gameplay The whole aim of the game is to collect various fish and plants to fill your compendium. Collector's Cove keeps this interesting by giving each fish/plant their own fabled variant. Which is uncovered by obtaining the same item a couple of times. Since the game is meant to be relaxing, this is not that hard to do, thanks to shops and the easy...

EVERDARK: Undead Apocalypse – PC Review

If you are looking for your next survival horror, then why not check out EVERDARK: Undead Apocalypse? It aims to blend fast-paced action, with survival horror, all with a nice classic 80s tone. Well, that is what it says on the Steam page. It will cost you £16.99, and there is a comic you can buy too for £3.99. Night of the living... eh? Gameplay EVERDARK is a challenging game with its main focus on survival horror. Supplies are scarce and melee weapons break after several hits so it is best to take caution. Since we are fighting Vampires the player is only able to stun when dealing damage. This is quickly resolved when getting the stake from an NPC early on. The story itself has us placed in the shoes of a random guy, who is pulled into a nightmarish night. And must save the world fr...

Pure Pool Pro – PC Review

Pure Pool Pro is the latest pool simulation game by Rockwater with publishing by Ripstone Ltd. (Poker Club, Chess Infinity). Play through a generous number of modes, game types, and difficulties, with achievements and customizations to unlock. It is now available on PC via Steam or Epic, as well as for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Table I Have, Pro I Am Not Growing up, I always made sure to bring a dime to the YMCA. For this was the cost to "rent" the set of balls and cues for the pool tables. I only recall knowing to pocket the colour balls opposite of your opponent. Since then I've picked up on a few more rules and a table with my current house too. I thought Pure Pool Pro could maybe teach me a thing or two more. I will admit that I had to look up the difference between pool, bi...

Styx: Blades of Greed – PS5 Review

Styx: Blades of Greed is a third-person stealth-action RPG adventure developed by Cyanide Studio and published by Nacon. The game is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, starting February 19th. Weaponized Goblin Mode In this third entry of the franchise, players return as Styx, a cunning goblin thief with a particular set of skills, including silently infiltrating castles, eluding enemies' sight, and executing hushed assassinations in a smart mix of stealth and strategy.

The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy – PC Review

Released February 12th, the Royalty & Legacy expansion for Sims 4 doesn’t simply layer crowns and capes onto familiar gameplay; it restructures the very foundation of social hierarchy and generational storytelling. Where past packs flirted with fame or influence, this one formalises power into a living system that reshapes how families rise, fall, and endure. Heavy is the Crown Set in the sweeping new world of Ondarion, there are windswept cliffs of rebellious Verdemar, steeped jungles of Dambele and the gleaming marble capital of Bellacorde; the expansion feels expansive in both scale and ambition. More than just a picturesque backdrop, Ondarion responds to whoever holds the throne: taxes shift, festivals erupt in royal celebration, and townsfolk bow or whisper as your monarch passe...

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN PC Review

ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN an Action Adventure game from the most creative minds at Grasshopper Manufacture (Suda51). The same company that has created some the most beloved cult classic games like the No More Heroes series, Killer 7 and Lollipop Chainsaw. Even the games for animes such as Samurai Champloo and Blood + craftly made from this amazing company. The first exposure to Suda51's creative madness was actually when my cousins were playing Killer 7. And the rest was history to be frank. The rule of thumb when playing a Grasshopper game is to never think you can predict their next move. Gameplay ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN is about...well Romeo. A deputy sheriff that while checking the body in the middle of the road got a severe injury. An injury that cost him his life, but thanks to his grandf...

Reanimal – PC Review

Reanimal was announced back in August 2024, is now finally out. It comes from the creators of Little Nightmares 1 & 2, and has us stepping into a dark, depressing world. I've had my eyes on this game since it was shown, and I am happy to be reviewing it. You can pick it up on Steam for £34.99 or grab the Deluxe Edition at the price of £49.99. That will snag you the season pass, and two additional masks. Honestly, though, seems a little steep. We're just animals still learning to behave Gameplay We are thrown into the world of Reanimal without any context. One of our main protagonists awake on a boat floating across a black ocean with nothing but red glowing life buoys to guide him. Shortly after, we save our second protagonist from the dark sea. And proceed onward with our journey...

Crimson Capes – PC Review

Crimson Capes is a pixel-art 2.5 D roguelike / roguelite developed and published by Poor Locke. The game is set in a dark-fantasy medieval Europe, where you can switch between four characters of the witch-hunting Crimson Capes guild. Retro Bloody Retro In recent years, the indie game industry has been flooded with roguelites, roguelikes, and metroidvania style games. Crimson Capes enters this crowded landscape with a realistic swordcombat "flow" that may be challenging at first but is highly satisfactory once mastered. This combat system relies strongly on the well-known formula of souls and soulslike games, patience, dodging, and precise timing. The story is centered around the adventures of Milon, also known as the Tempest, who has been ordered by the king to take down a conspir...
