Mekkablood: Quarry Assault – PC Review

Indie studio KRUMB Games is soon to launch their new action, retro-Shooter Mekkablood: Quarry Assault. The game itself is made by a solo developer and is inspired by the early 90s, FPS games such as Duke Nukem, Doom, and Quake. I enjoy retro-styled shooters, but I can't lie this mainly piqued my interested due to the Mech aspect of it. Warning! Please be aware this article contains gifs that may include flashing lights and patterns. Eat lead... wait, do you eat lead? Has this game caught your interest? Well good news, it launches on Steam on January 20th! Although I couldn’t say for how much you can Wishlist it today. Gameplay Now, when I started Mekkablood, there wasn’t a story. But looking at the Steam page for the game here is the general gist. We play Bill, an ex-Space Farme...

Previews & Early Access

Phantom Squad – PC Preview

Phantom Squad is an intense 1-4 player tactical top down shooter with some simple old school graphics, combining fast-paced combat with real-time strategy. Assemble a team of winners or end up a total disaster as you plan and extract from each mission. This is the first game developed by Ctrl Freak and will be published by Super Rare Originals! The demo for Phantom Squad is now available on Steam. The game puts you in the very well equipped but maybe not so well controlled SWAT members, dependant on your skill level, and put you through stressful situation, so be ready to grit your teeth and argue with friends over tactics as this is going to be a good one. Did I give up on the stealth and phantom approach after I broke the window? ABSOLUTELY If you have already played the demo, let u...

Among Ashes – PS5 Review

In a world of horror big hitters like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, it can be hard to come up with something that reinvents the genre in a way that is successful and even more terrifying than the bigger players in the game. Rat Cliff Games decided that it was time to take the reins with their new first-person horror Among Ashes. When I saw the first trailer for Among Ashes, I initially skipped it. Not because it didn't interest me but because I knew a demo wouldn't be enough. The trailer alone had me instantly hooked and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Safe to say this game did not disappoint and is easily one of the best games I've played in 2024. You can grab Among Ashes on Steam and PlayStation now! Just keep playing? Easier said than done! Gameplay Uncover the true horr...

Currently Playing – Curse of the Dead Gods

In the past couple of weeks, when I've found myself with a short amount of time for gaming, I've returned to a comforting, familiar place. That place is Curse of the Dead Gods. Time and time again over the years since I reviewed the game for release, I've returned to the cursed temple to take on it's remaining challenges and edge ever close to the coveted Platinum trophy. The Game That Sparked A Fire Curse of the Dead Gods was the first roguelike that I ever played, I'd not paid the genre any mind previously. The art direction looked great, and the combat seemed crunchy and quick, so I picked it up for review. I was instantly hooked on the premise of starting with very little power, progressing little by little through a gauntlet, and gradually upgrading various aspects to try different ...

Currently Playing – Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix

Please be aware this article contains gifs that may include flashing lights and patterns. I am a Fortnite Noob. At least when it comes to playing the game. I have watched people play it and loved every minute. I am also that not at all annoying person yelling I can see someone running, whilst my partner sprints about the map escaping storm after storm. Having never been much good at dual stick gaming for accessibility reasons, I never thought I'd get to enjoy the game first-hand. My only previous dalliance with the game was when my partner and I decided to stream us playing it together. Even then I found much more joy in driving off in golf carts then aiming for that precious Victory Crown. And then Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix came about. A short sweet season that changed everything.

Red Dead Redemption – PC Review

It's time to get back in the saddle and take up John Marston's reins. Red Dead Redemption has finally made its way to PC. Rockstar's second adventure in the wild west initially released in May 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and received critical acclaim. Undead Nightmare was released a few months later as an expansion on the original story which featured John Marston fighting against the hoards of undead as they tried to take over the West and Mexico. Controversially, I loved the first Red Dead Redemption more than its sequel. It had me gripped from the start and had one of the best online multiplayer systems ever, the online in the second game doesn't even come close. Add in Undead Nightmare - probably one of the best DLCs of all time, if you ask me - and it was an all round p...
