The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Legacy Edition – PC Review

Aspyr Media has moved on from the old school Tomb Raiders and have recently set their sights on The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. The Legacy edition ports the original 2011 release into the Steam library for old and new fans to pick up the controller on this classic. They're taking the hobbits to Isengard and we're heading in a different direction! Gameplay War in the North takes place just before the events of the Fellowship of the Ring. The game starts with the three main characters meeting with Aragorn in the Prancing Pony. It's an exploration into the darker side of Middle Earth and you can take up to two friends along for the ride with you. This game is the epitome of old school RPGs. All three main characters have their own, unique skill tree. Creating the perfect squa...

EVERSPACE 2: Galactic Edition – Switch 2 Review

Space games have always been a bit of a mixed bag for me. There are some absolute classics out there, such as Star Wars Squadrons, Elite, Federation of Free Traders (yeah, I'm showing my age with that last one). Still, quite a few can be either too complicated, too slow or just feel like you're spending more time looking at menus than actually flying a spaceship. EVERSPACE 2 manages to avoid most of those problems by mixing fast-paced space combat with exploration, RPG mechanics, loot, crafting and a surprisingly substantial story. Originally released on PC in 2023 before making its way onto PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, EVERSPACE 2 has now arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 in the form of the Galactic Edition. This is the complete package, including the main game, the Titans expansion, ...

Duskfade – PS5 Review

Jump, swing, and slash your way through a throwback 3D platformer in Duskfade! Coming to us from developer Weird Beluga, Duskfade harkens back to classic action platformers from the sixth-generation of consoles. Available now on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, is Duskfade a fun evolution of games gone by? Or is it just another title stuck in the past? Duskfade: A Stunning Homage to PS2 Classics Duskfade opens with a seemingly light-hearted narrative. Protagonist Zirian and his sister Allira live in Tick Town, where everything seems like a Disney-esque fairytale. That is, until Allira locks herself away to work on a secret project. This then leads to something going awry: their home exploding. and reality being ripped apart. Now, where their home once wa...

Security 51 PC Review

Security 51 is an Adventure, Simulation, Point and Click game from the cosmic entities at Alawar. A game that gives me the vibes of Papers, Please only more multidimensional. Which just like Papers, Please, there are major consequences to the actions you perform. You'll have a lot of trial and error, but if you're an attentive person like me, you'll breeze through the first timeline. Now, let me scan you and give you a Rorschach test to see if you gain access to this review. How was I suppose to know that this guy was going to just melt like pudding. All I did was scan them! Gameplay As I mentioned earlier this game is similar to Papers, Please. You're a security guard who's in charge of following the rules and determining if someone can enter, leave or just end up dead. However, thro...

The Caribou Trail – PS5 Review

The Caribou Trail is a first‑person narrative adventure set during the Gallipoli campaign of WWI. The game was developed by Unreliable Narrators & Manavoid Entertainment, and published by Unreliable Narrators as well as Indie Asylum. Unreliable Narrators have developed a game previously called Two Falls. In Caribou Trail you play as Fisher, a soldier of the 1st Battalion Newfoundland Regiment, experiencing the psychological toll of trench warfare through slow, deliberate exploration, dialogue, and small mundane tasks. Caribou Trail is inspired by real testimonies, blending history with fiction to portray a rarely explored front of WWI: Gallipoli, from the landing to the final evacuation. Caribou Trail is available on all major gaming platforms but I played this one on the PS5, try i...

Agefield High: Rock the School – PC Review

Simultaneously, something old and something new: Refugium Games has developed and published Agefield High: Rock The School. Dropping on Steam August 12th, it's reminiscent and possibly inspired by the beloved Canis Canem Edit (or Bully in its American and later releases). Let's dive in and see if this game will pass or flunk its test. Time to give it the old college try. Gameplay We play as Sam Tatum a new kid on the block and who is attending Agefield High School. Like most first days we don't get the best start since Sam ends up fighting the head Jock Seth. And so let the school year begin. After the prologue players will get access to the whole map from the get-go, although there isn't really a lot to it. You will come across the same models over, and over again, and they give the ...

Corsair Cove – PC Review

There's something oddly satisfying about starting with next to nothing and slowly building up a thriving settlement, and that's exactly what Corsair Cove, by devs Limbic Entertainment, sets out to do. Blending resource gathering, exploration and town management with a pirate theme, it creates a surprisingly relaxing experience that feels like a cross between The Settlers, a light survival game and a casual adventure title. He's a Pirate! While there are pirates, treasure and plenty of exploration, don't expect a fast-paced action game. This is much more about planning your settlement, keeping your economy moving and slowly expanding your little pirate paradise. It won't be for everyone, but if you enjoy games where progression is constant and rewarding, there's plenty here to like. ...

The Relic: First Guardian – PS5 Review

The Relic: First Guardian is a new action, RPG coming to both PC and PlayStation 5. Right now, I am checking out the PS5 version, and honestly I don't know what to expect. The game will be available for £44.99 on PS5 just in case you wanna pick it up. I think this game will test you, mentally. Gameplay The Relic: First Guardian starts rather quickly with any real build up. Our character is awakened by what seems like a priestess, who advise us to meet her at a camp later. Along the travels the game does put an odd amount of notes for you to read, and I mean a lot. Initially you would expect a little more into the world of The Relic, but no a fair amount just seem nonsensical. Weapons-wise we begin with a sword and shield but can find more when reaching the more open-wold area. In my t...
