Warhammer: Chaosbane PC Review – Crushing the Chaos Hordes

After playing the beta in March of this year I was left wanting more as it was short and a snippet of sorts on what was to come. Then I was lucky enough to have access to the full version of the game just before it was released. Developed by Eko Software, Warhammer: Chaosbane will be on general sale on the 4th of June but people who had pre-ordered the game had early access on the 31st of May which will be available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Without revealing too many spoilers, let's not waste time and get smashing up those Chaos hordes once more. Gameplay The game has 2 modes: Story and Online. Unfortunately, at the time of testing, I was unable to get an online game. The one time I waited a decent amount of time, it found one but it was full. I will revisit this once...

Escaping real-life playing an escaping game, sounds like the best kind of game right? how about if you're thrown a curve ball including zombies, trains and guns! perfect? given the opportunity to play Pandemic Express: Zombie Escape gave me the wonderful option to do exactly this. Gameplay From the creators of fun games such as Hello Neighbour and Guts and Glory, TinyBuild Games have created yet another quirky game for us all to play all the way from America.

Rage 2 PC Review – Welcome To The Wasteland

It's been eight years since the original Rage came out, and honestly until Rage 2 got announced I never thought there would be a follow-up. The original Rage was a fun game, albeit a bit short and linear. My interest was piqued, especially when I saw that Avalanche Studios was also attached to the project. They've had their fair share of experience making a fun post-apocalyptic open world with Mad Max (A game I thoroughly enjoyed). Co-developed by Avalanche Studios and id Software, and published by Bethesda, Rage 2 has high promise to be a good time. Let's jump in and find out how it is! Gameplay Stepping into the post-apocalyptic playground of Rage 2, you're immediately greeted by deranged half-mutant half-tech creations trying to kill you. They call themselves The Authority. Armed ...

Down to Hell PC Preview – Hack and slash and die

I haven't had much experience with 2d hack and slash games, so when I was presented with Down To Hell by Polish developers Red Dev Studio S.A. I figured I'd take a shot. It's very early in its development stage, so it's bound to be a bit janky, Let's find out! Gameplay In Down to Hell, you play as a mysterious lone swordsman, whom after being saved by a girl becomes indebted to her. The girl has become kidnapped by demonic forces, and it's up to you to save her. The gameplay in Down to Hell is very straight forward. The entire game consists of slaying demons that spawn in waves between sections of 2D platforming. There are a few bosses present in the current build. However, it feels like you have to grind out a lot of enemies for the experience to get strong enough to stand a decent c...

Mechstermination Force Switch Review – Robot Wars

Have you ever jumped straight into a game whilst skipping tutorials and suddenly regretted doing that because you've no idea what on earth is going on? well, how about a game that doesn't even give you the option to skip it, throws you in the deep end from the very moment you start the game without a safety net. Mechstermination Force gives you the challenges you need and more. Gameplay Humans vs transforming robots, I'm sure I've heard of this kind of thing before, although Hörberg Productions Has produced a game, not like any other I have played before, from the mechanics to the multiple bosses and guns this game left me wanting more! You're a member of the titular resistance, well the only member (unless you have a friend around you can duo this up with)  if I was to be truthful...

Steel Division 2 Beta PC Preview – Grand Strategic Gold

Over the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to play some of Eugen Systems new World War II Real-time strategy game Steel Division 2. Having played the first Steel Division, I was thoroughly excited to give the sequel a proper try. This time around, the RTS action takes place on the eastern front, instead of Normandie. Steel Division 2 will be the first game from Eugen Systems to be independently published. I was a bit worried Steel Division wouldn't get a sequel due to almost half of the development team going on strike over unpaid wages in early 2018. Steel Division 2 was initially slated to be released on Steam on April 4th but was delayed to May 2nd. It has now been delayed again until June 20th so that the dev team could take player feedback and make changes to the game where ...

Warhammer: Chaosbane Beta PC – A refreshing Action-RPG

I've always been a fan of Diablo and have recently re-discovered my love for Diablo 3 since its release on the Nintendo Switch, Warhammer: Chaosbane caught my eye. Upon first looking at the game, developed by Eko Software,  you could be forgiven for comparing it to Diablo but upon playing it, you soon release that Warhammer: Chaosbane has simply been inspired by it and added the whole world of Warhammer by placing right into the heart of the game. There are a few good Warhammer games out at present with the release of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 recently and Last year Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr which also was an Action RPG but didn't score that high. The game is currently in Beta which runs from March the 7th until March the 13th and it's officially released on the 4th of...
