Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree PS5 Review

Review bombs, patches, and 5 million concurrent players - From Software has outdone themselves with the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Introducing new NPCs, unique bosses and expanding lore surrounding Miquella, Shadow of the Erdtree raises the standards yet again. With 80 new boss fights (11 of which are remembrance bosses), over 100 new weapons and 11 new NPCs, Shadow of the Erdtree can be viewed as a standalone game on its own and is definitely worth the £35 price point. Before you read this, yes I used my mimic, yes I ended up using a bleed build. No I don’t want to hear about it, let me be bad at the game okay? Spoilers ahead for the entirety of the DLC !!!! Gameplay As with any From Software DLC, the Shadow of the Erdtree is locked behind two bosses. Players mu...

Whirlight: No Time To Trip – PC Preview

Point-and-click games are always welcome here at TC Towers. It was certainly awesome to be able to preview Whirlight: No Time To Trip, by Italian devs Imaginarylabs. There is something nostalgic about being part of a story that you need to progress through by solving logical puzzles. It is certainly good to have a break once in a while from all the fast-paced action shoot-em-ups, and instead give that grey matter a bit of a workout! An Adventure Awaits! If Imaginarylabs sound familiar to you then it maybe because they are also the entity behind the highly acclaimed point-and-click game Willy Morgan. A game that I also got to preview and review back in 2020. My review can be found here! How will Whirlight stand alongside Willy Morgan? Let's take a look. Gameplay Hector is your...
