Squad Early Access Preview

Tactical shooting is a tough thing to get right but Squad totally hits the nail on the head with its adrenaline pumping and nail-biting Squad based combat. Slowly pushing through enemy lines with eight team mates covering your back, Squad makes you really feel an important part of a team with a real role to play in order to make sure you complete your objective. Gameplay Starting off in a base, in attack and secure your mission is to push forward and capture the bases between you and your enemy’s main base and to reduce the enemy’s tickets before yours run out. To do this, teaming up is essential so jumping into a squad with a good, confident and knowledgeable squad leader is a must. With orders being given over voice communications by the squad leader, you all jump into an APC and star...

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds Review – Last Man Standing

Introduction Dropping onto an island, armed only with your wits and underwear (honestly!), you need to find weapons, armour and medical supplies in order to survive a 100 player Battle Royale style death match. Coming from the mind of Player Unknown, a man who has extensive experience in crafting these types of games from his work on both ARMA 2 and ARMA 3 Battle Royale mods and his involvement on King of the Kill for H1Z1, this is by far the most polished and true experience of a Battle Royale/Hunger Games type video game. With the ability to enter solo, duo or in a squad of four, to say this game is an adrenaline pumping and downright terrifying game would be an understatement. Knowing your demise could be around every corner or just over the top of every hill just gives you a buzz t...

Darkest Dungeon Review – A Stress Inducing Dungeon Crawler to Madness

Long have I been yearning for a game that challenges both my mental wellbeing and personal stress levels and with Darkest Dungeon that is exactly the game I got! A PC only title that has a unique graphical art style and pits you as the manager of a town with its various buildings and upgrades whilst directing a band of rag tag adventurers into the depths of various dungeons in the search for loot and treasure. Gameplay Delving deep into dungeons in the search for loot with a group of up to four different adventurers’ sounds like the usual plot line for a game but Darkest Dungeon will punish you at every turn if you don’t take it seriously and decide to wander into a dungeon ill prepared. You need to decide on a team that will complement each other in terms of skills, prepare their weapo...

Hidden Folks Review – Hand Drawn

Hidden Folks, by Adriaan De Jongh is a Where’s Wally Clone with a few massive differences. The graphics are hand drawn, black and white, and the sound is all created through mouth, every sound effect from clicking on monkeys, to opening tent doors, they are all voiced by Mr De Jongh and this gives it some great comic relief. Some of the sound effects are basic, but the buzz buzz buzz of the buzzing bees is always fun to listen to. Anyone familiar with Where’s Wally will know the reference at the top of the review, those that aren’t aware of the series of books, essentially you are tasked with finding Wally in the page of the book as well as finding other items throughout the world. It is this game mechanics that Hidden Folks is all about. You get given a list of items to find before...

Mordheim: City of the Damned Review – City of the Damned

If you’d have told the Games Workshop obsessed 15-year-old me that I would one day be playing a Mordheim video game, I’d have laughed. Mordheim was never that popular in my Games Workshop in the first place, even though a few friends and I played it weekly. It was relegated to the table in the back, behind the giant Warhammer and 40K set ups. But here we are, in the year 2016, and Mordheim: City of the Damned, developed by Rogue Factor and Published by Focus Home, is thriving on PC and has launched on PS4 and Xbox One. And aside from some niggling frustrations, it's really bloody good. Gameplay Mordheim City of the Damned is a fantasy turn based strategy game set in the titular city, the most dangerous city in the Warhammer universe. A "Warp Stone" has fallen from the stars, creating som...
