The Medium – PS5 Review

At Thumb Culture we are given the freedom to write our own experiences and thoughts about any game we review. You may be wondering what has this got to do with The Medium well back in February this year Martin reviewed the game using Xbox Game Pass via PC.

Deathloop Review

Deathloop is finally here ladies and gentlemen. Deathloop is a brand new IP developed by the brilliant minds at Arkane Studios who brought us Prey and Dishonored what can we expect? Well, the game director Ding Bakaba has described it as an "inverted Cluedo". It is essentially a big old murder mystery where you are stuck in a time loop played from a first-person perspective. It was originally announced at E32019 and again at the PlayStation 5 showcase in 2020 and scheduled to release later that year. But, after a couple of delays due to the ongoing pandemic, Deathloop is finally here. Deathloop - If At First, You Don't Succeed...Die, Die Again Since Microsoft acquired Zenimax Studios, the parent company of publishers Bethesda, they have honoured the agreement to make this a timed con...

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 Review

Just hear me out for a second. So, Sniper Elite and Hitman meet in a bar and have a few drinks together. It's all getting a bit amorous as the drinks are flowing. Soldier of Fortune is sitting in the corner thinking "I'm having some of this". They all go home together after many, many drinks. Nine months later, they give birth to a baby game. And that game is Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2. The Sniper Ghost Warrior series has had more misses than hits over the years, so it doesn't hurt to take a little inspiration from other stealth games. Especially when you have been lingering long in the shadow of a certain other sniper-based game that I have already mentioned. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 - One Shot Too Many, Or Does It Hit The Mark? Polish developers CI Games has self-publishe...

Timothy’s Night Review

Welcome to my review of Timothy's Night on the PlayStation 5. Wild Sphere Games both developed and self-published this game.

Spelunker HD Deluxe Review

The Spelunker games are nearly as old as me, originally released in 1983. The game at its heart hasn't changed a massive amount as you walk, run and jump your way through cave systems. Spelunker HD Deluxe is an update to Spelunker HD that was released on the Playstation 3. Published by ININ Games who actually focus on feel-good, and retro arcade games. Spelunker HD Deluxe - Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place If you like this review check out my previous review here where I played The Persistence Enhanced on the PlayStation 5. Let me know in the comments what you think of this review. Gameplay In the role of an adventurer, your goal is to get as deep into the cave system as possible. In your way stands snakes, ghosts, and a variety of fiendish traps. Adventure mode is where players ...

Deadly Days Review

Deadly Days has now launched on consoles following arriving on Steam towards the end of 2019. Developed by Pixel Split and published by Assemble Entertainment comes this Retro-inspired Zombie title. In Deadly Days Never Trust a MKing Burger For those that are unaware Deadly Days is a semi Strategic and Semi Roguelike Zombie game. The difference with this one is you actually get an explanation as to why the outbreak started. Gameplay The opening to the game gives you the background as to what has happened. Famous burger chain MKing has released a brand new burger, containing a secret "addictive" ingredient (with a view obviously to increase sales and profits - as with most evil cooperations) The side effect of this addictive ingredient is that it makes it really...REALLY addictive.
