Astronomics – PC Early Access Preview

Astronomics is a top-down space mining and exploration game by Numizmatic (Light Fingers). It launched into Early Access on Steam just yesterday i.e. February 10th, 2025. Best Mining Game since Deep Rock I'm always up for a chance to check out a new space or sci-fi game. Especially if they involve mining space rocks like in Astronomics. I wasn't looking for something that felt overly complex like Elite Dangerous or EVE Online. Astronomics caught my eye for looking simple and enjoyable at my own pace. Anything that brings something close to those Stardew Valley vibes, right? Gameplay Astronomics is a casual, yet exciting adventure of asteroid mining. As an employee of Cube Corporation, you'll mine your "claim" in space by landing on space rocks passing through. Do so by gathering al...

Stars In The Trash – PC Review

Stars In The Trash, developed by Valhalla Cats, is a beautiful hand-drawn video game. It was released at the start of December on Steam for £9.99. We did have early access to this game but we had to delay our review due to a little accessibility issue. There was a level in the game where the screen strobes in a big way, and with no warning message, I wasn't willing to publish our review. A couple of emails to the PR team and we got a message saying that the devs had pushed an update. They also thanked us for bringing it to their attention as it wasn't something they had thought about. Now here we are at the end of January and the update has been out a little bit, so sit back and check out our epilepsy-friendly review for Stars In The Trash. Instant Animated Classic Invoking feelings o...

Go Home Annie – PC Review

Misfit Village brings us their new game set in the SCP Universe. It’s named Go Home Annie and has us step into the shoes of D-level personal who attempts to uncover some harsh truths. The game is available right now on Steam for £16.75. Please be aware this article contains gifs that may include flashing lights and patterns Annie are you okay? I’ve always loved the SCP Foundation lore, although I wouldn’t say I know it extensively. Its main appeal to me is the actual SCPs. An SCP is an object, creature, anomaly, or humanoid that breaks the rules of nature. Some of my favourites are: SCP-024, SCP-3000, and SCP-662. So it’s rare I see a single-player game based in that universe. I’ve only played one so far, as the others are multiplayer. I’d love to know what your favourite SCP is ...
