Bounty Star – PC Review

Bounty Star is a 3rd person action game with a blend of mech combat and homesteading. Developed by DINOGOD with publishing by Annapurna Interactive (Stray, Neon White), it is available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. You can also pick it up for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, or Game Pass. Not Quite Trucking in Bounty Star I feel like I really missed out on getting into the whole mech genre. Not only in gaming but elsewhere. I read a few RoboTech (I think?) books back in my early days. But I never got into Mechwarrior or Gundam or the like. Honestly think games like Armored Core look awesome but never get myself to check them out. I saw Bounty Star coming up though and decided to take a look. Check out my thoughts below. Gameplay Bounty Star is a 3rd person action game. Right at ...

This single to four-player co-op adventure is their debut game with publishing from Thunderful Publishing (Steamworld Heist II, Viewfinder). It is now available on PC via the Steam and Epic Games stores, as well as on PlayStation 5. Oh, the Humanity! Or Lack Thereof in GODBREAKERS I had to check out GODBREAKERS because I seem to really enjoy roguelite mechanics. It's also pretty shiny. Add to that an interesting bit of story and the hooks were set. The more I play the game, the more I appreciate different parts of it. Let me know if you've ever found yourself thinking the same of a different game each time you play. For now, check out my thoughts on this new release below. Gameplay GODBREAKERS is a fast-paced,...

Borderlands 4 – PS5 Review

Borderlands returns! Whilst this comes as no surprise, seeing as though the game has been out for a little while. It was greeted with much excitement amongst the Borderlands loving members of the Thumb Culture team. Although there was some trepidation hidden in the darkness. Well, Borderlands 4 has finally been released and if you know me, you know that I am a big fan of the franchise. Does Gearbox live up to my expectations, though? Let’s find out!

Arctic Awakening – PC Review

If you're looking for a new story rich, narrative game, then you may have been looking at Arctic Awakening on Steam. The game is created and self-published by GoldFire Studios, and has us play as Kai, a pilot who crash lands with his companion therapy bot Alfie. We can expect to make hard choice and survive harsher weathers. You can survive anything with the right mindset. Arctic Awakening is out now on Steam, with an introductory 10% off until 25th September. Have you been keeping an eye on this game, if so, let me know in the comments below. Gameplay Arctic Awakening is at its core a walking simulator game. Players are able to pick up items, but besides food to stave off hunger, there isn't much need for carrying anything. Which is a shame since you can pick up almost everything ...

Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids – PC Review

Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainiods is a new 3rd person strategy action game by the creator of X-COM, Julian Gollop, and Snapshot Games (Phoenix Point). With publishing by Arc Games (Remnant II, Torchlight 3), play solo or with a friend to save the planet's supply of Brainium from the invading Brainiods. You can pick it up today for PC via Steam or Epic, PS5 or Xbox. Today I'm taking a look at the PC version which is £25 on Steam. Meet Your Next Comedic Gaming Duo: Chip 'n Clawz! Duos seem to be a common theme in 3d action platformers. The obvious and most direct comparison here would be between Chip 'n Clawz vs. The Brainioids and the well-known Ratchet & Clank series. Both feature a humanoid and their robot sidekick with a world to save. Regardless of similarities though, the trailer c...

Maki’s Adventure – PS5 Review

Developed by ZoroArts and published by EastAsiaSoft, Maki's Adventure is a bite-sized platformer that blends classic side-scrolling action with clever mechanics and heartfelt design. It’s a short but engaging adventure that encourages exploration and experimentation, whether you’re dashing across islands or slicing through shadowy demons. With some ideas polished to perfection and others rough around the edges, you can’t help but root for the developer even more. Here at Thumb Culture we reviewed the PC Release; and now we return with a review for the PlayStation release. Maki's Adventure - Maki a big splash Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love the idea of shapeshifting into a shark mid-jump? We’re all in for that, and we’d love to hear about your favourite shapeshifting characters in the c...

SHUTEN ORDER – PC Review

SHUTEN ORDER is an Adventure game with the developer being Nelo inc. With the backing coming from Spike Chunsoft, which in a moment will make a lot of sense. Reason for that last statement is because the whole game has the whole Danganronpa vibe. From the art style, the game's execution, to even the pacing of the game will make you think so. I honestly had a complete blast playing detective through out the entire journey. The only thing to keep in mind is, the game will continue to change into something different when hunting down your killer. So, lets pray to God and use the power of said God and start the review. When using God's Power, always have your QTE skills sharp as a knife. Gameplay You start as Rei, someone who was resurrected to discover their killer and to get their bo...

Mafia: The Old Country – PS5 Review

The Mafia series has quietly built itself into one of gaming’s best crime sagas by rolling steadily through the decades. It kicked off in the 1930s, cruised through the ’40s and ’50s, then shook things up in the ’60s. Fans naturally expected the story to move forward. Instead, Hangar 13 drags us back to the roots with Mafia: The Old Country, a linear, story-driven trip to early 1900s Sicily. It launched worldwide on 15th August 2025 and is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This review covers the PS5 version, priced at around £54.99. So, does it sit solid like a family olive tree, or snap like a twig under a horse’s hoof? Miniere Alle Spalle, Mafia Davanti Mafia: The Old Country dives straight into the dirt. In 1904, young Enzo Favara escapes from the backbre...
