Netherworld Covenant – PC Review

Netherworld Covenant (out now on Steam, and Epic) opens with a confident splash of crimson and black, silver armour catching the light as fallen warriors rise once more. Developed by MadGoat Game Studio and published by Infini Fun alongside CriticalLeap, Netherworld Covenant very clearly wants to sit in the uncomfortable space between roguelike repetition and Soulslike severity. The premise lands hard. You rise from death to avenge fallen comrades, only to find chaos has warped them beyond recognition. Victory doesn’t free them; their spirits bind to you, granting spectral abilities that shape every run. It’s a striking hook, but it also sets the tone early. Netherworld Covenant doesn’t ease you in. It demands pace, punishes hesitation, and makes the consequences clear. From the opening...

Marvel Cosmic Invasion – PC Review

MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is a pixel-art beat'em up developed by Tribute Games Inc. and published by Dotemu. Playable solo or with up to four players in local or online co-op, the game delivers fun and fast-paced combat where players will visit some of the best-known locations of the Marvel Universe. Retro Pixel Arcade Action Galore After the success of 2022's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, game developers Tribute Games have come up with another excellent retro, pixel-art, arcade-style beat-'em-up game. Marvel Cosmic Invasion uses the same action-filled formula as its predecessor but enhances it with a larger hero roster and adds another layer of complexity through its swap mechanic. This game is a deep cut to 90s pop culture, when home PCs and consoles weren't as ...

Men in Black: Most Wanted – Quest 3 Review

In what almost feels like a shadow drop, Men in Black: Most Wanted has been released on the Meta Store. It's available now for download on the Quest 2, 3 & 3S. MIB: Most Wanted is an action, adventure, shooter with some light puzzle elements thrown in for good measure. Published by Sony Pictures Virtual Reality, the game was developed by Coatsink, who have brought us some great VR titles over the years, including another major franchise IP in the form of Jurassic World: Aftermath. I was genuinely surprised when I received my review copy, as I'd not seen any build-up for this game. Is that a bad thing? Let's jump in and find out! Have I been neuralised? Considering how big the MIB franchise is, I would have expected to see a lot of trailers for this game. Was it just me, or did I comp...

Night Swarm – PC Review

Night Swarm comes to PC on December 4th. Build up your vampire kingdom, grow in power, and fight through waves of creatures in this survivors-like roguelite by Fubu Games (Rogue Loop). With publishing by Mad Mushroom (Hell Clock) and Gamersky Games (Tiny Pasture, Drova), you can pick it up soon, only on Steam. Vampires Always be Surviving I don't know if Vampire Survivors was the first ever of its genre, but I feel like it was at least one of the earliest. It most definitely defines the genre if nothing else. Night Swarm may not have vampire in the name but it sure seems more of that theme between the two. Let me tell you about this latest horde survivors-like in the review below. Gameplay Night Swarm is a horde survivors-like roguelite. Play as a young vampire chosen to lead the u...

Superhero Simulator – PC Preview

Superhero Simulator is a single-player simulation game that has entered early access, brought to you by developer and publisher mightyracoon! Studios, you are given the opportunity to become the hero that Goldpine City needs. Do you have what it takes to become a superhero? Is it a bird, is it a plane? Being an avid fan of Marvel, I jumped at the opportunity to play Superhero Simulator. While it doesn’t have the backing of the likes of Insomniac’s Spider-Man series, it could be a great addition to the superhero genre of games. While I will be talking about the positives and negatives of the game, it must be remembered that this game is in early access. I am reviewing the game based on what is there currently. However, the mightyracoon! Studios have a clear plan for their development, ...

Skopje ’83 – PC Review

Skopje '83 is a new first-person survival roguelite by indie developer Dark-1. Unravel the mysterious, time-warping clues about your surroundings and survive the mindless creatures outside your bus. The game is available now for PC via Steam and Epic Game Store with publishing by PM Studios, Inc. (Yooka-Replaylee, Hoa). Skopje '83 is Colourfully... Dull? I took a look at Skopje '83 in hopes of finding some sort of pseudo-Borderlands looter-shooter roguelite. Unfortunately, what I found was not what I was expecting. It's just one of those things that happens, and as I'll also note, it may honestly just be me. If you happen to pick it up and feel differently, please let me know! For now, let me explain through my review below. Gameplay Skopje '83 is a first-person shooter with a mixt...

Dispatch – PC Review

Dispatch is an Action, Adventure Indie game produced and developed by AdHoc Studio. After reading Paul's preview article of the game, I was first drawn to Dispatch because of the art style and dialog. It gave me that old school nostalgia I feel for TellTale Games, especially when it game to the game's humour and dialog choices. Imagine my surprise when I did research on the team that I find out they were ex Telltale employees. It must have been the best of the best because holy mother of ducks was my experience with Dispatch amazing. So, who do you believe is the best choice to go after? Invisagal or Blonde Blazer? As someone who loves and replays the classic Telltale games like Sam n' Max, The Wolf Among Us, and others. Dispatch did scratch my Telltale games itch that finally got scrat...

Halo Fans Are Mad About a Missing Boulder

The crown jewel of Microsoft Xbox games is officially going to cross enemy lines in 2026. Halo: Campaign Evolved will release next year on PlayStation 5. The news on the remake has been so excessively anticipated that it could barely even pass as actual news by the time the Gameplay Demo video dropped. The trailer looks impressive with re-worked lighting, stunning graphics, and sharp textures. The Warthog has a metallic shine to it, the plasma rifle fire glows, and Master Chief's visor glints. But, according to Halo fans on Reddit, these are actually all bad things. Most significantly, there is a large boulder missing on the beach in 'The Silent Cartographer' mission. Let's dig deeper into all the things that are seemingly wrong with a game that hasn't even been released yet. Gameplay ...

The Last Caretaker – PC Early Access Preview

The Last Caretaker is a first-person crafting survival game by developers Channel37. Embark upon a voyage on the vast planet-wide ocean while searching for clues to restore humanity. Explore, craft, and survive against rogue robots and a corruption spread across everything. The game is available starting November 6ths on Steam and the Epic Games store, with a later date planned for consoles. Last and Lonely Caretaker There have been so many survival crafting games over the past ten years or so that I've lost count. Too many involve zombies. Even more involve some facet of PvP as a core mechanic. But The Last Caretaker looks a bit different. A bit less jumpy and much more inquisitive. So what are my thoughts on the game as it hits early access? Check them out below. Gameplay The Las...
