Hello Neighbor Review – Horror and stealth in your street.

Hello Neighbor is a horror stealth game from Dynamic Pixels and tiny Build and it has just been released on iOS devices and PS4, it could already be played on mobile, PC and Xbox. It is a software survival puzzle game with a really unique style. American spelling aside (neighbour has a U in it and so does colour) I turned off my spell check and got on with reviewing this beautifully weird game. Gameplay Hello Neighbor is broken down into acts and in each one the house is very different and increasingly expansive. The game launches with you as a kid in the street who witnesses something strange in his neighbor’s small suburban house. You have to use stealth cunning and puzzle-solving skills to negotiate the map and find out what that nasty neighbor was doing. Get seen or noticed by him an...

Smoke and Sacrifice Review – More like Rage, Smoke and Sacrifice

O man that looks like a cool area -dead, reload save- O wow look at that creature I wonder what it -dead, reload save- ALRIGHT WE ARE GONNA STAND STILL! -dead, reload save-.....Welcome to the wonderful world of Smoke and Sacrifice developed by Solar Sail Studio and published by Cure Digital of the Nintendo Switch and on Steam. Pull up your chair, ready your eyes, and lets dive into my review! Smoke and Sacrifice is a top down, survival, crafting, open world, don't die, narrative driven RPG. You start off the game as the female protagonist Sachi working in a field. You are told to go fetch your child for the rite of the first born. Already in my head I know nothing good is coming from this. From that point on the story is bleak and dark because you sacrifice your first born to th...

Lust For Darkness – PC Review – Enter deep into the unknown, very deep.

Movie Games Lunarium bring us Lust For Darkness, an immersive puzzle based story driven quest for …. well something. I don't want to give too much away. So without further ado I shall don my strap-on and zip up my gimp mask ready for an adventure into the unknown. Maybe. Gameplay After a brief warning about epilepsy and a suggestion of 'playing at night with headphones on for a more immersive experience' you find yourself in a locked room. Incidentally, I didn't play at night in a darkened room with headphones on. My initial reaction to that was F**k that. It was the sensible and recommended option for those who like peaceful sleep. Movement is the standard mouse to look around and WASD to move around. Lust For Darkness has done something rather unusual when interacting with objec...

The Incredibles Lego Game Review – Does The Formula Still Work?

Adding to the Lego gaming franchise that is brought to us by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment and Traveller's Tales comes Disney Pixar The Incredibles. Launched just in time with the release into cinema of the second instalment of The Incredibles movies, is the Lego gaming franchise still its humorous fun self or has it grown old and tired? Gameplay As ever, The Incredibles game follows the very much tried and tested Lego gaming formula comprising of witty dialogues, short dynamic cut scenes and essentially teamwork between characters to solve puzzles and complete the levels. Here we get to play as The Incredible family, starting off with Mr Incredible and Elastogirl as we are thrown straight into the action onboard a huge tunnelling machine. Now it is at this point I must ...

The Spectrum Retreat Review – Welcome To The Hotel Penrose, Such A Lovely Place?

Two years ago, 20-year-old game designer Dan Smith won a BAFTA in the Young Game Designers category for his prototype of what would become The Spectrum Retreat. Publisher Ripstone has stepped in to help turn the game into a fully-fledged product. It's quite an achievement for the up and coming game maker, so let’s check in and enjoy our stay, maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW7HN9Pd9nU GamePlay We have all been there at some point in our life, right? You wake up in a strange hotel room with no memory of how you got there or what happened the night before. Just as you start thinking of an egg McMuffin, a knock appears at the door, but this isn’t the usual breakfast call. You are greeted by an android asking you personally to come down for breakfast.

Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered Review – Blast From The Past!

The year was 2009, I was 29 years old, The Black Eyed Peas had a feeling, Dizzee Rascal was bonkers and Lady Gaga was showing off her poker face. The gaming scene was alive with Uncharted 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum and a little gem by developers Volition called Red Faction: Guerrilla. For those of you that were possibly only 9 years old back then (I'm not bitter at all and you missed an amazing millennium party) Red Faction: Guerrilla was the 3rd instalment of the Red Faction Saga which introduced a third person open world style of gameplay to the player. Previous games in the series, Red Faction (2001) and Red Faction II (2002) were first person shooters that saw you play in the first game on Mars as a miner called Parker who was having his life ruined by the giant Ultor Corporation ...

The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker Review – You Believe Me, Don’t You?

A FMV murder mystery with a bit of a twist. Are they the insane ones? Is any of this real? Whats really going on? Thrust into a new world by the death of a doctor, can you handle the patient load as things appear to change all around you? Are you sure they are the crazy ones? D'Avekki Studios developed The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, a FMV Lovecraft mystery, back in 2017. FMV, meaning Full Motion Video, where the characters you interact with are real people, its almost like watching a movie that you control the narrative to. You can type out your questions and answers to which there are 1600+ full screen HD responses the characters can use to continue the conversations. This sounds great in theory but I found my self typing multiple questions and phrases just for them to be con...
