The Book of Aaru – PC Review

The Book of Aaru, out now on Steam, starts strong; you get to play as a cat. A CAT! With slow-mo time powers in a glowing Egyptian sci-fi tomb. Say what you want about the game’s bugs (and we will), when a game lets me roleplay as a cursed feline adventurer in an ancient, future labyrinth, I’m in. Developed and published by Amenti Studios, The Book of Aaru pitches itself as a roguelite in the style of Hades and Curse of the Dead Gods, with destructible environments, time manipulation, and multiweapon combat. It’s a bold entry from a passionate indie team, blending Egyptian mythology with cosmic tech and feline acrobatics—but does it land on its feet? The Book of Aaru needs more than just a rewrite. Let’s hear it! What’s your favourite game where you play as an animal? Bonus points for ob...

Kity Builder – PC Review

Kity Builder is a purrfectly charming city-building sandbox game in which you create cute little cities for other cats! Developed by a team of four friends: Sambero, irx99, YerayToledano and Juan Hust, and published by Parabellum Games, this little game releases on Steam today (June 17th 2025). Cats? Building? Sign me up! It is no secret that I enjoy building games, much like it is not a secret that I absolutely love cats. So having a building game with cats? Just absolutely amazing. Breath-taking. Stunning. Awesome. You get my drift. The game has a unique look to it that I found very intriguing, and the gameplay looked really fun from the trailer as well! I was really excited to play this game, and I'm happy to report that it did not let me down. Here is a more general question this tim...

PaperKlay – PC Review

PaperKlay, out now on Steam, developed and published by the one-dev studio WhyKev, is precisely the sort of passion project that aims to showcase its creativity. It is a 3D platformer collect-a-thon where the world is stitched together from cardboard, paper, clay and the kind of materials you might find in a Year 3 art cupboard after a particularly chaotic lesson. And we mean that in the most loving way. Here to stay or one for the shredder? It is fantastic to see games like PaperKlay embracing bold, unconventional art styles. They might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but they make the gaming landscape far more colourful and creative. So, we want to hear from you. What is the most unique-looking game you have ever played? Drop it in the comments below and let us celebrate those visual gem...

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN PC Review

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is an Action, RPG, and Roguelite game made by FromSoftware. It takes place in the ELDEN RING universe, but it exists on its own two legs. I have been noticing that lately, we've had a few roguelikes that choose to have a three-person team, like Windblown, which is my strongest memory of this example. With it being a game from FromSoftware, the difficulty of the game is only in one mode. Which, for some new people coming into the game, would think it's a very difficult game. However, for people who understand FromSoftware's history and roguelites, this is what makes it fun. "How hard?" You may be asking. Oh ho ho ho. Just keep reading to see if I can let you understand what to expect. Yes! Old enemies to face and *someone whispering in my ear* WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ...

SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure – PC Review

I've been searching for a game to fill the gap that Cuisineer has left. So when indie developers kopiforge reached out offering the chance to play their new game SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure I couldn't say yes fast enough. Recently released on Steam for around £13, this game promises a cooking-combat adventure. And even better it's first and foremost a co-op game! Wok hard, Play Harder As one half of a co-op streaming channel, you can often find me moaning that the co-op genre has been brimming with games that are much of the same muchness. Same gameplay recipe, slightly different game dished up. Which is where I'm really hopeful that SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure is different. Let's head out on this quest together. Plot The story begins with friends Som and Gon walking along the beac...

Cattle Country – PC Review

Howdy pardner! Ready to put on your boots and step into a new life of farmin' and adventure? Get ready for the Wild West with Cattle Country! Developed by Castle Pixel and published by Playtonic Friends, this cowboy themed farming sim just rode its way onto Steam, Switch, Xbox Series X|S and PS5! For today's review I'll be playing the PC version. Yeehaw! Aight, listen up. I love me some farming sims, and could play them all day, every day. A lot of recent releases have been rather hit or miss for me, but this one I really enjoy playing. Sure, there are some minor flaws and issues, but most are already being worked on and, let's be real, which game doesn't have a few of those? Enough negativity for now! The game has so many areas in which it absolutely shines, and I can't wait to get into...
