Zombie Admin – PC Review

Zombie Admin is an Indie Action Game from Hastily Assembled. This team has brought you titles such as Time Loop Traffic, A Hero's Fudging Quest, Deadline of the dead and many other titles. I will be honest I haven't heard of them or seen the other games they have done, however I am one for games with a Comedic twist. Zombie Admin was released January 18th 2023 on Steam and isn't a bad price at £3.39. Definitely love a good bargain! So Zombie Admin is a Standalone game, and is the first of its own series, it features a charming top down point and shoot, Run and Gun style. I will go into that more below. Here is the charming little Description for the game on steam: "It's the zombie apocalypse, but you can't miss a work day! Scavenge for weapons, survive... and don't forget to resto...

Dungeon Alchemist – PC Review

Dungeons and Dragons is a table-top board game that surged in popularity in the '70s. The game has stayed forever in culture through the decades and has never been stronger than what it is now. The game has inspired shows such as Stranger Things with even a movie coming out soon. With the introduction of the internet, playing at a distance is now possible. The available programs and utilities have never really been up to scratch however. Enter Dungeon Alchemist! Game developer Briganti has created a program to make it all easier. Their aim is to aid fans to create the visuals and maps needed to fully immerse themselves in the game. God-like Creation Powers at your Fingertips In recent years I've been introduced to the Dungeons & Dragons universe and I've come to love it. I'm always a...

Hi-Fi Rush – PC Review

Coming from Japanese developer Tango Gameworks and American publisher Bethesda, don't miss a beat with Hi-Fi Rush. Hi-Fi Rush threw us all for a loop when it was shadow-dropped on 25th Jan. Available for Xbox Series X|S and PC, today we'll be looking at the PC version. Hi-Fi Rush is included with Gamepass and will require 20GB of space. For those who wish to purchase it, it will cost £29.99/$29.99 on the Microsoft Store. All of your trebles are dead and gone! Hi-Fi Rush was a massive departure for developer Tango Gameworks who are usually known for their more spooky titles, such as The Evil Within and Ghostwire Tokyo. All things considered, the question has to be asked why they didn't do it sooner. Seriously, this game is brilliant! At this point, the combat rhythm game isn't a...

Deliver Us Mars – PS5 Review

Deliver Us Mars is the follow-up to the excellent 2018 hit Deliver Us The Moon. KeokeN Interactive are a dutch developer and both titles run using the impressive Unreal Engine 4. Deliver Us Mars is out now on PC via Steam and Epic Game Store. Consoles will also see a release of the title and that is what we are checking out today. Boldly Go Where No-one Has Gone Before I really enjoyed Deliver Us The Moon, so when this was announced it went straight on my Playstation Wishlist. The thought of being an astronaut was just too much to pass up. Gameplay In spite of the fact that Deliver Us Mars takes place 10 years after the events on the moon, the game isn't a direct sequel. Due to this, gamers can experience it as a standalone title. Personally, I strongly recommend playing the origin...

This Land is My Land – PC Review

After the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 which showcased settlers in the untamed lands that went on to be the USA, some gamers wanted a Native Indian's take on that time of turmoil. The game developers, Game-Labs, set about creating just that with This Land is My Land, a game full of beautiful scenery and wilderness, aimed at survival and growth. We got a chance to get our hands on the game recently. All of this Land is Yours - Take it! I was drawn into playing This Land is My Land after seeing the trailer. The graphics looked great and the concept of a strategy/survival game based on Native Indians intrigued me. If you love a good survival, let us know in the comments your favourites. Gameplay From the off, in the main menu, the game gives you the option to start a resistance ra...

A Space For The Unbound – PC Review

Emotive sojourns are widespread in the indie scene, even beginning to become more prevalent in AAA territory. But rarely do they shed light on a relatively unknown region, be deeply relatable and also mind-bogglingly engrossing all at once. A Space For The Unbound by Mojiken Studio is a side-scrolling pixel art adventure that is both a warm, familiar embrace and a propulsion into a vortex of raw, all-encompassing emotion. Set in a fictional rural Indonesian town in the ‘90s, you play as protagonist Atma, journeying through high school life with his sweetheart Raya. But humdrum everyday life soon becomes anything but humdrum. Both possess supernatural abilities, Atma is troubled by dreams that feel familiar and a mysterious force threatens their very existence. What follows is a journey ...

Clunky Hero – Playstation 4 Review

Clunky Hero is the latest wacky platform hit from Estonian Developer Chaos Monger Studio. Combining platforming, Metroidvania, and RPG elements with tons of humour. This offers a strong storyline that will appeal to gamers who enjoy platformers. It's a fun game where you can talk to characters, do side quests, buy and sell items, and swap weapons and accessories, all the whilst laughing at itself. When You Order Armor From Wish Clunky Hero appealed to me when I first saw the trailer. Its story just sounded utterly bonkers and the narration tied everything into a lovely parcel. Available for both PC and Consoles (Playstation, Nintendo Switch and Xbox) Gameplay A 2D platformer that sets out the story straight away, your wife has been kidnapped and turned into some "duck-faced woman" ...

Necroboy: Path to Evilship – PC Review

Chillin' Wolf bring us the slightly odd adventure of a certain NecroBoy on his Path to Evilship in the cunningly titled NecroBoy: Path to Evilship. Whilst newly arrived on my desk, it has indeed been out since October 2022, in fact it was released rather aptly for Halloween. Kudos to Gravity Game Arise Co for a little creative marketing. Not entirely sure how to prepare for my upcoming journey, but I do have my pentagram and Mary Shelley reference book. Time to raise the dead and a little bit of hell as well. NecroBoy: Path to Evilship - Hellishly Good, or just plain Hellish? Gameplay NecroBoy: Path to Evilship is a brain game, thinking is the way forward. You get to control NecroBoy throughout the many crypts as he delves deeper into the journey to take the title of NecroMan. Movemen...

Lil Gator Game – Switch Review

Every now and again a game is released that I completely underestimate at first glance. I’m not sure if it’s down to some residual peer pressure in my head. Sometimes, in my imagination, I have the critical eyes of certain friends looming over my shoulder when I start up a game. So if the game is a little too colourful and happy-looking then my own fickle decision-making weakens and prostrates itself to my friends’ illusionary judgement. I looked at the pictures and announcement video of Lil Gator Game and thought on some level that it wasn’t necessarily for me. I wanted something a little less whimsical. But I was wrong. It’s difficult to realise without playing it, but Lil Gator Game is a triumph. It’s one of those games with a universal appeal—like Donut County, or Katamari Damacy. And,...
