I am Jesus Christ – PC Review

I won't lie, but I honestly did not expect to be reviewing a game like this, and a sim too. That is right I am checking out I Am Jesus Christ, created by Space Boat Studios, and thanks to them. We will step into the sandals of the messiah himself, Jesus. You can grab this right now on Steam for £11.39. "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12) Gameplay I Am Jesus Christ will let us experience the New Testament as the titular character, as he journeys the Middle East performing miracles. Some of the miracles you will perform consist of healing the lame, guiding fish, walking on water, and... this shocked me, exorcisms. All of these play out in little mini-games for you to play, like guiding a symbol while avoiding a serpent. While another had me use my mouse cursor to guide some fish ...

The House of Hikmah – PC Review

Have you ever played a video game inspired by the golden age of Arabic scientific and cultural development? Would you like to? The House of Hikmah is a 3D puzzle-platformer developed and published by Lunacy Studios, in their grand debut. Lunacy is an interesting studio: an independent, fully-remote, junior-built team dedicated to making diverse, narrative-heavy stories. Will Lunacy's ethically-sourced games nudge out a healthy space in a crowded market that can't even support Fortnite? Well, based on the experience I, a pasty white boy who is most certainly not part of the target audience, had with it, I believe they can. The House of Hikmah is a short, comfortable, well-crafted experience, like drinking a bowl of homemade soup. But what makes it so satisfying? The Key To Success ...

MindsEye – PC Review

MindsEye was released back in June 2025 on Steam. And was shown to be a new action, single player experience by the team at Build a Rocket Boy. Now, I've heard the negatives already about the game, but I'm always happy to give any game a fair shot. In addition, MindsEye has had a few updates since release which are meant to make the game run smoother. You can grab the game for £54.99 on Steam, or the Deluxe Edition, which will set you back £66.99, and that comes with a few extra goodies. Robot evolution, what is the worst that can happen? Gameplay We start MindsEye with a rather interesting opening cutscene, that shows the character Jakob Diaz, and his team. After Diaz sends his drone to check out an underground cave, he uncovers something odd, that leads to him being discharged from ...

Dragonkin: The Banished – PS5 Review

The Action RPG genre can be a tough one to break into. With series such as Diablo, Path of Exile, and the plethora of Warhammer ARPGs, to name but a few. The incredibly addictive nature of grinding, dungeon-delving, and loot-hoarding is one I've been a fan of for a long time. With Dragonkin: The Banished leaving Early Access and releasing on consoles, I knew I had to play it! Created by developer Eko Software (who know a thing or two about ARPGs!), Dragonkin has just launched its 1.0 version. The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and is priced at £34.99 on consoles and £20.99 on Steam. All You Need Is Loot I'll admit it. I'm one of those gamers that, when they really get into a game, it's the only thing on their mind until the credits roll. With ARPGs, t...

Crimson Desert – PS5 Review

Back last year I was lucky enough to check out a preview for Crimson Desert. Now, I Finally get to review the finished product. So just like many, I will be exploring the vast world that is Pywel. Thanks to the team at Pearl Abyss, for creating this large open-world RPG. The game is available on Steam, but for now, I am checking the PS5 version. Which goes for £54.99, with a Deluxe Edition priced at £64.99. That will also net you some additional armour pieces. Welcome to Pywel Gameplay Players don't level up traditionally but can improve their characters through gear and a skill tree. To improve skills in the tree, you can collect, find, and earn Artefacts through-out the world. The best way I managed is by killing a load of bandits. This too works well for also earning money. Althoug...

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection PC Review

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection (MHS3) is an Adventure RPG from the company making bangers for 2026, Capcom. As the number shows, this is the third installment to the Monster Hunter Stories. The story of the game takes place 200 years after the events in MHS2. Now, since I got to play the second entry, I can tell the major improvements to this current game. So, without further ado, let's start the review and get some Monsties. When you need eggs, courage and an understanding of how rock-paper-scissors works, you too can hunt Monsties. Gameplay MHS3 begins with a slightly generous character customization screen. What? You thought I was going to start with the story? We'll get to that after this, don't worry. Now, I will say that Capcom gave a nice selection for customizing...

New Super Lucky’s Tale – PS5 Review

With the world literally and figuratively burning as humanity marches ever forward towards annihilation, memories of a carefree childhood playing colourful 3D platformers feel like a surreal hallucination rather than something that actually happened. A simpler time when games shipped feature complete and bonus character costumes were unlocked with double jumps and not our wallets. New Super Lucky's Tale burrows its way onto PlayStation 5 on the 26th March to show, once again, that 3D platformers can still shine in 2026, even if it still needs a little polish. A tale as old as 2019 Are you clinging onto nostalgia? What's your favourite platformer? Let us know in the comments below, and maybe you might add this to your list too. Let's get to the review. Gameplay New Super Lucky's...

Project Songbird – PC Review

First thing's first, I have not looked into anything about Project Songbird. And I have not played anything else by Connor Rush or FYRE Games. Which means I will be going into the game blind, besides knowing the basics: it's a horror narrative, and we play as an artist named Dakota. Who knows, after this, I might check out some of his other works! There is a type of beauty, found in tragedy. Whilst Project Songbird does not release until 26th March on Steam, that doesn't stop you giving it a little Wishlist. You know we love helping out indie developers here at Thumb Culture. Gameplay Project Songbird places us into the shoes of the musician Dakota, who is struggling with a bad case of writer's block. After a phone call from her manager Rob, she is offered a recluse cabin in the wo...

Crabmeat – PC Review

I love a good fishing game, especially when they attempt a bit more of a horror type one. Like Dredge, or About Fishing. This time we play as a Crab fisherman in Crabmeat! A game developed by Nicholas McDonnell and Mitchell Pasmans. It looks rather interesting, and I am hoping for some nice creepy ambience with it. But with all that said, you can pick up Crabmeat on Steam for £6.69, that's not bad. If you haven't got the money now, then a demo is also out for Crabmeat. So you have no excuse not to try! Dark waters, and all I can hear is the sound of pincers. Gameplay We play as a no named character, who happens to be caught up in debt. This leads to us being forced to pay it off via sailing and capturing King Crabs. Hence, the game's name, Crabmeat. The player then awakes on their boa...

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered – PS5 Review

Who would have thought that we'd ever see the Legacy of Kain series again? Well, after last year's Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered, it looks like the franchise may be back! Potentially, but we'll have to wait and see, as the latest game, Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered, is another remaster. An updated version of the 2003 title released on PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, does Defiance stand the test of time? Can co-developers Crystal Dynamics and PlayEveryWare bring this almost 26-year-old title to a modern audience? Or, will it only resonate with those of us that have played the original? It's always tough to say with remastered classics! Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is available now on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series...
