MEGALAN 11 – Switch Review

Megalan 11 is an exploration puzzle title which is available across various platforms. Developed by Arkhipov Pavel and published by MAYO Games this game was originally released in 2020. 11 Day And Counting! With its release back in 2020 it's possible that some people missed it, especially console-only games. After all, they most likely wouldn't be checking the Steam store. After much love, it is finally here and we managed to get our hands on the Nintendo Switch version. Gameplay On loading the game, we are getting signals from a planet. A very orange planet, where we are looking to land. After many screams, the spaceship crash lands and this is where it all begins. The idea is that you have to escape the planet that you are stranded on by building and ensuring that your crew are surv...

Scrap Riders – PC Review

Scrap Riders comes to us from Spanish developer Games For Tutti and is published by the French publisher Microids. Scrap Riders which was released on 9th Jan is available for PC via Steam and the Nintendo Switch. We’ll be looking at the PC version, which comes in at £14.99/$17.99 and will require 4 GB storage. It’s the end of the world as we know it. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, surrounding a cyberpunk-styled city “Uber City”, Scrap Riders is a pixel art adventure game which combines beat ‘em up and point ‘n click style gameplay, a Monkey Island meets Streets of Rage if you will, to offer a fun and witty title. That is when it’s not beating you over the head with its references. You play as Rast, a member of the titular Scrap Riders. An outlaw biker gang of misfits. You sta...

Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure – PC Early Access Preview

Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure is a relaxing, top-down casual game full of exploration and adventure. It hit PC Early Access on Steam in mid-August. Snowcastle Games (Earthlock) is responsible for both development and publishing. Though currently only available on PC, Snowcastle is planning to release Ikonei Island for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4/5, and Xbox One/Series X/S at a later date. It will also eventually be multiplayer. Explore, Adventure, Farm, and Decorate to make Ikonei Island your own! There are plenty of farm/life sim games out there. Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing are two of my favorites. Though Ikonei Island isn't necessarily a farm sim game, it definitely scratches the same itch as those others seem to. There seem like so many things you can do that there i...

Pokemon Violet – Switch Review

Developed by Game Freak for the Nintendo Switch, we bring you the latest instalment in the Pokemon Series. Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet were released towards the end of last year and we have seen nothing but mixed reviews. So we thought it was about time we checked it out for ourselves. Let's Go On An Adventure In Paldea! To this day I still haven't played a Pokemon title that beats the original for the Gameboy Color. Pokemon Blue was the first title I picked up and I spent a lifetime on it. Despite completing my Pokedex and the game I played this title to death. I soon checked out Red and Yellow but obviously, they were pretty much the same title. I don't think comparing Scarlet and Violet against Blue would be fair, but I am looking forward to getting stuck in. Gameplay Jumping...

Saturnalia – PS5 Review

Saturnalia comes from the creative minds at Santa Ragione. It is inspired and influenced by the folklore of Sardinia, Italy. This survivor-horror adventure may have you lost in its labyrinth of a village, the structure which changes every time all your characters die. Twists and Turns Await In Saturnalia Seeing the trailers for Saturnalia, those slightly older gamers will struggle not to notice the familiar art style. My mind first jumped to the music video by the Norwegian band A-ha which used the same watercolour style. It grabbed me straight away as I was interested in how this would work in a game setting. Gameplay Saturnalia is a mix of Survival Horror and Adventure. The quaint village of Gravoi is the setting for our four protagonists. Gravoi is celebrating its own Saturnalia...

The journey matters more than the destination in Sable I wasn't aware of Sable at its original release but I was pleased to get the chance to review it on PS5. I had a very good time playing and so I would love to hear your thought. If you have played before or are thinking about it, feel free...
