Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 Review

Just hear me out for a second. So, Sniper Elite and Hitman meet in a bar and have a few drinks together. It's all getting a bit amorous as the drinks are flowing. Soldier of Fortune is sitting in the corner thinking "I'm having some of this". They all go home together after many, many drinks. Nine months later, they give birth to a baby game. And that game is Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2. The Sniper Ghost Warrior series has had more misses than hits over the years, so it doesn't hurt to take a little inspiration from other stealth games. Especially when you have been lingering long in the shadow of a certain other sniper-based game that I have already mentioned. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 - One Shot Too Many, Or Does It Hit The Mark? Polish developers CI Games has self-publishe...

The Big Con Review

Just imagine, what would happen if every piece of pop culture and cliche from the '90s became a human form and made a game, this would be the result. The Big Con is an action RPG game developed by Mighty Yell and published by Skybound Games. It was released on August 31st 2021 on PC and Xbox One. The Big Con - It's what would happen if an episode of Saved by the Bell focused on a heist I find myself very attracted to anything heist related, especially movies. Baby Driver, The Killing, and Snatch are some of my favourites. I've even seen Rififi, bet you haven't even heard of that. Anyway, I've never really played any heist games so I was really looking forward to this. And I do love me some 90's nostalgia so it's great to see. Let's give this a shot and see if it's worth it. If you're loo...

Rogue Spirit Early Access Review

Rogue Spirit is a 3D rogue-lite action game now available for Early Access on Steam. The developers, Kids With Sticks, have partnered up with publisher 505 Games to bring this third-person adventure to the masses. Kids With Sticks already spent about 19 months developing the game and plan to have it be in Early Access for 7 months. Of course, this is an estimate and not set in stone. If you're a fan of roguelites such as Hades, Dead Cells, Risk of Rain 2, and the like, then Rogue Spirit will be one to add to your collection. Bounce between bodies in Rogue Spirit The aspect of possessing bodies to switch up abilities is what made Rogue Spirit catch my eye. I did not prepare myself for the challenge of playing another roguelite though. Needless to say I will be playing through my frust...

Timothy’s Night Review

Welcome to my review of Timothy's Night on the PlayStation 5. Wild Sphere Games both developed and self-published this game.

Deadly Days Review

Deadly Days has now launched on consoles following arriving on Steam towards the end of 2019. Developed by Pixel Split and published by Assemble Entertainment comes this Retro-inspired Zombie title. In Deadly Days Never Trust a MKing Burger For those that are unaware Deadly Days is a semi Strategic and Semi Roguelike Zombie game. The difference with this one is you actually get an explanation as to why the outbreak started. Gameplay The opening to the game gives you the background as to what has happened. Famous burger chain MKing has released a brand new burger, containing a secret "addictive" ingredient (with a view obviously to increase sales and profits - as with most evil cooperations) The side effect of this addictive ingredient is that it makes it really...REALLY addictive.
