Towers of Aghasba – PC Early Access Preview

Towers of Aghasba is a new open-world exploration and adventure survival game by Dreamlit Games. This is the first game by the indie studio, and an ambitious one at that. The self-published title is available now as an Early Access title both on PC via Steam as well as on PlayStation 5. Towers of Aghasba Has Got the Vista Views on Target Towers of Aghasba is another one of those titles that flew well under my radar. Honestly I hadn't even heard of it prior to it popping up on our upcoming list of potential reviews. Even more surprising is that it is already on PlayStation 5 as an Early Access title. I don't feel this is a small feat for an indie studio producing their first game where the base game isn't already available in full on another platform. Though one could argue that many game...

Red Dead Redemption – PC Review

It's time to get back in the saddle and take up John Marston's reins. Red Dead Redemption has finally made its way to PC. Rockstar's second adventure in the wild west initially released in May 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and received critical acclaim. Undead Nightmare was released a few months later as an expansion on the original story which featured John Marston fighting against the hoards of undead as they tried to take over the West and Mexico. Controversially, I loved the first Red Dead Redemption more than its sequel. It had me gripped from the start and had one of the best online multiplayer systems ever, the online in the second game doesn't even come close. Add in Undead Nightmare - probably one of the best DLCs of all time, if you ask me - and it was an all round p...

This game is Powersnake's first project and which was previously announced back in 2021. You can follow their development progression on their twitter profile. Seeing from where they started to how they improved and finished the game is impressive in my eyes. With the success of Voidwrought, I hope they continue to improve and make another game. Because honestly, I do want to see another game from this studio. Honestly, if this is what being in a cult is like, then it'll have me leaning on a fence.
