Active Matter – PC Review

Active Matter is a hardcore, gravity-bending extraction FPS with horror elements. With development by Matter Team and publishing by Gaijin Network Ltd (War Thunder, Age of Water), you are sent via a body sleeve out to explore, investigate, and retrieve and extract with an element that is the game's namesake. In your fight to gather and extract, encounter anomalous and horrific beings, turned soldiers, and other players while running through areas that turn things sideways and upside down. Active Matter is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Why Won't Horrific Things just Die? Ok so I'll admit that I didn't quite read the fine print on this one. I had seen a little bit about Active Matter from the trailer and brief description. However I apparently didn't notice the part ...

DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered – PS5 Review

Dynasty Warriors 3, released on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox all the way back in 2001, is still considered one of the better entries in the long-running franchise. Now, 25 years later, developer Omega Force has released DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered, a modern version of the original classic. Available on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, what can fans expect from this remaster? It's rare to see Omega Force bring back an older game, especially one that debuted so long ago. Sure, we've seen some ports here and there, but this is almost uncharted territory for the developer. I'm excited to see if it plays just as I remember! It's 1 vs. 1,000 in DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered! A quarter of a century may have passed (urgh), but I st...

Onimusha: Way of the Sword – PC Review

Onimusha: Way of the Sword sees the return of Capcom’s classic demon-slaying series, and it isn’t an exaggeration to say the comeback couldn’t be better. Developed by Capcom using its RE Engine, Onimusha: Way of the Sword is available on the PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. The game is a complete reboot of Capcom’s original Onimusha series, with fast-paced action and a surprisingly lovable cast of characters who make the experience memorable. Hack, Slash, and Aura Farm As someone who didn’t play the original Onimusha games, I didn’t really know what to expect from Way of the Sword. I initially thought it was a remake, but then learned it was a complete reboot that required no knowledge of the series. It sounded like magic to my ears, so I figured I’d give...

Marvel’s Wolverine PS5 Review

Marvel's Wolverine is an Action, Adventure game from Insomniac Games. Following the success of the Marvel's Spider-Man series, Insomniac Games took the mantle to work on another character. We're playing as James Logan Howelett, aka the Wolverine. If you're coming into this series blind and don't know the characters, oh are you in for a treat. I will prefer now that this game is not referencing any comics or any other media. The only things you'll find here are their names, and powers that are the cannon part of some of the mutants lore. Now sharpen your claws and bear your fangs, because we're slicing through this review. You would always hear about Honey badgers not giving a flip. But have you met this Wolverine!?! HE DRANK ALL MY WHISKEY!!!! Gameplay Marvel's Wolverine starts us ...

Paw Patrol: Dino World – PC Review

If you've never heard of Paw Patrol then you really have been living under a rock. We previously covered Paw Patrol World a couple of years ago, and even though the TC Mini Crew has maybe outgrown Paw Patrol, I haven't. So when the opportunity to cover the newest game, Paw Patrol Dino World, came up. I jumped at the opportunity. No Dino's Too Big, No Pup's Too Small Having been out for a little while and to mixed reviews, I was a little apprehensive. I put all that aside and dove in, looking forward to controlling my favourite pup, Rocky. What fun and frolics would those lovable pups get up to? Gameplay Mayor Humdinger has headed to Dino Island to cause trouble, and it's up to the pups to help the dinosaurs. It all sounds like an incredibly simple premise, and to be honest, the gamepla...

Fell and Sell – PC Review

If you can cut it down, you can make stuff from it and sell that stuff. If that was your aim in life, then Fell and Sell might be just for you. Fell all means of living things and pillage them for profit. Sounds totally ethical to me, but then I'm hardly ethical, just ask my friends. Fell and Sell - Cutting it, or Hacked off? Having played many first person dungeon crawl games, Fell and Sell should be a walk in the park, or maybe a forest or dungeon would be more accurate. XXX have peaked my interest and I can't wait to lop the heads off everything I meet. Time to sharpen that blade and set off on an adventure. Gameplay Fell and Sell uses the standard methodology of PC first person games. WASD to move, the mouse to look and attack and various other keys to run, crouch and interact...

Well Dweller PC Review

Well Dweller is an Action, Adventure, Metroidvania from the mind of Kyle Thompson. The same creator of my favourite game, Crypt Custodian. Well Dweller was honestly an adventure I could not put down. You're going around fighting these small creatures while being a small creature yourself. But enough of that, grab your matchstick and a slingshot as we begin this review. This game has a surprise cameo from the McDonalds at night Moon Guy. Don't believe, well you'll see. Gameplay Well Dweller has us play as Glimmer. The oldest of five siblings, sent to go grab food from the Hunter's cabin. After retrieving the food as mother asked, we headed back to our home in the well. But, unbeknownst to Glimmer, he was being followed by the same hunter they stole from. This man starts to grab your...

Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition – Switch 2 Review

Arise, foul tarnished, it's time to explore the Lands Between in Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. This edition of From Software's 2022 game of the year includes the original game; the Shadow of the Erdtree dlc which you can read the review of here; and new cosmetic options. Is playing this game fun or a sign of mental instability because why would you do this to yourself? Gameplay If you asked me to explain the lore of Elden Ring, I'd struggle because there's a lot going on and not a lot of explanation. The game takes place in the Lands Between, a place ravaged by warring demigods, a big glowing tree and plenty of backstabbing. Truly to try and explain the story of the game would ruin the fun of finding all of the lore - something I'm still doing one whole platinum trophy later. Elde...

DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction PC Review

DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction is an Action, Adventure, Simulation from Soda Game Studio. With publishing assistance from Infini Fun. This game in one word is chaos. And when I mean chaos, I don't mean the good or bad chaos or even pure chaos. Somehow it reaches a neutral leave of chaos that makes you wonder why. Now, I'm going to let you guys dig into the review and decide for yourselves the level of chaos this game brings. I can understand we're collecting alien tech, but why are the alien energy cells shaped like cooked duck!? Gameplay DIG Raiders: Anomaly Extraction lets you choose from a small pool of characters when starting for the first time. You can then pick between story, showdown and other modes. But, because I was playing solo, Story Mode was my only choice. The main obj...
