SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure – PC Review

I've been searching for a game to fill the gap that Cuisineer has left. So when indie developers kopiforge reached out offering the chance to play their new game SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure I couldn't say yes fast enough. Recently released on Steam for around £13, this game promises a cooking-combat adventure. And even better it's first and foremost a co-op game! Wok hard, Play Harder As one half of a co-op streaming channel, you can often find me moaning that the co-op genre has been brimming with games that are much of the same muchness. Same gameplay recipe, slightly different game dished up. Which is where I'm really hopeful that SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure is different. Let's head out on this quest together. Plot The story begins with friends Som and Gon walking along the beac...

The Siege and the Sandfox – PC Review

The Siege and the Sandfox is an Action, Adventure, Metroidvania coming from Cardboard Sword. With the help of PLAION from the publishing side. This game being Cardboard Sword's first entry into the gaming industry and is out now on Steam. Sneak in the shadow, strike like a club, but remember to be the Sandfox This game does look gorgeous with it's 2-d pixel art style. Yet, within my complete playthrough, I felt as if something was either wrong or missing. I did come across some bugs that did break my immersion during my session. Basically, the entire adventure felt well executed, but like every gem, not every gem can be flawless. Let's get into the full review. Gameplay The Siege and the Sandfox has you playing Kasha'i or better yet known as the Sandfox. An agent of the people, wh...

Drop Point Preview With Tiny Indie Studio

Recently, I received a very interesting email. It was purely titled Days Gone Meets Rust. This piqued my interested as these are both games that I absolutely love. Fast-forward a few days, and I'm getting an invite to a special, exclusive showing of Drop Point. The brainchild of Tiny Indie Studio. A small studio from Hamilton, New Zealand. Could you read this before I Drop my Point? Jumping onto a video call, they had an awesome presentation ready to go. I honestly felt the excitement from the start of the call.

Gameplay Drop Point is a base-building, base raiding, harvesting, crafting, and combat survival game. The game is set on an island where a large...

Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure – PC Demo Preview

Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure is an action roguelite, horde survivors-like based on the setting of the Hand of Fate games by Defiant Development. Spitfire Interactive (Capes) is developing the game in this genre though, with Defiant Development (Hand of Fate) publishing. The game is currently only available to Wishlist on Steam, but you can download and play the demo now. My Games are Blending Together... Ok, so maybe roguelites aren't the only games I seem to end up playing around here. Horde survivors-like games seem to be just as likely. Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure is the more latter leaning of the two. So where does it stand up currently with the rest? Check out my thoughts on the demo build below. Gameplay Hordes of Fate: A Hand of Fate Adventure is the...

DOOM: The Dark Ages – PC Review

DOOM: The Dark Ages is an Action, First Person Shooter from the same brains behind the rest of the DOOM series, id Software. Thankfully the funds from Bethesda Studios have the cup run over for how great this game turned out. DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal. If you're wondering if you can play this DOOM before the others, yes however I would always start with the older games first. All you lost lambs that are entering the DOOM series with DOOM: The Dark Ages, I have one thing to say... Rip and tear...Rip and Tear...RIP and Tear...RIP AND Tear...RIP AND TEAR...RIP AND TEAR!!!!!!!! For everyone out of the loop or they're reading this review to see if DOOM is right for them, sit down, because I got a tale to rip and tear right into you. Gameplay The...

Frog Legs – PC Review

There's something delightful about games that lure you in with pixelated innocence before launching you face-first into the existential horrors of frog-based trauma. Frog Legs, developed and published by the wonderfully twisted mind of Elliott Dahle (yes, the same person behind The Man in the Park), does exactly that. What starts like a cute 8-bit Frogger-esque jaunt quickly devolves into a surreal, dimension-hopping horror comedy with no business being this entertaining. Frog Legs – From Hops to Shots in 40 Minutes Flat It's refreshing to see indie titles like Frog Legs blend dimensions, tones and gameplay styles while telling a funny and disturbing little story. We need more bold, bonkers games like this in the world. Do you have a favourite indie horror that deserves the spotlight? Dr...

American Arcadia – PS5 Review

American Arcadia marks the latest release from Out of the Blue Games, the studio behind Call of the Sea (you can check out our review of that here). After launching on PC in 2023, the game has now made its way to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Xbox One courtesy of publisher Raw Fury. This review focuses on the PlayStation 5 version. So, the big question: have Out of the Blue Games delivered another smash hit, or should it have come with a warning? It Can't be Tru(man) Set in a retro-futuristic 1970s metropolis, American Arcadia drops you into the brown leather shoes of Trevor Hills — a painfully average office worker voiced by the ever-talented Yuri Lowenthal (you’ll know him from Marvel's Spider-Man). Trevor soon realises his entire life has played out as part of ...

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – PS5 Review

Released back in December last year on the Xbox and the PC, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has made its way to the PlayStation. Developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda, we join Indy somewhere between the Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. It's Whip-Cracking Time So, without further ado, let's head out into a brand new adventure for the intrepid explorer. Gameplay Picture the scene, the year is 1937, and a sinister force is searching the globe trying to find the secret to an ancient power. It's all linked to the Great Circle, as you might have guessed from the title of the game. The game is played out for the most part in first-person, however, there are a few instances where you get a third-person view. Proving that Indiana is well-represented at all times. ...

The Precinct – PS5 Review

The majority of videogames are all about death and destruction, and it's not often you play as a character on the right side of the law. That's why I was so intrigued when developer Fallen Tree Games announced The Precinct. Taking on the role of rookie cop, Nick Cordell Jr., players will attempt to bring peace to the mean streets of Averno. After being officially unveiled last year, The Precinct is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. And I'll be taking a look at the PlayStation 5 version today. Just like the developer's previous title, American Fugitive, there's clear inspiration taken from the early Grand Theft Auto games. But, does upholding the law and bringing criminals to justice make for a fun time? Welcome To The Precinct, Rookie. Fresh out of the academy a...
