King Of Seas Review

King of Seas is developed by 3D clouds, and they have brought us a single-player open-world RPG. They previously made car-based games so have leapt to sailing the seven seas. They, alongside Team17, a well-known indie publisher who previously brought us the Overcooked! series and Worms WMD. Following the popularity of games such as Sea of Thieves, the pirate genre is growing. And I believe that King of Seas is only the most recent addition to the genre and is a quality one at that. King of Seas is available now on Windows, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Series X|S, and PS4. If you're still deciding after my review you can find the preview to King of Seas written by Martin here. King of Seas - I'm the captain now! You begin King of Seas as a newly minted captain and playing in a third-pers...

Erica PC Review

Published by Sony Interactive Entertainment and originally released as a Playstation 4 exclusive, Erica, an interactive thriller film, is now available on PC. Falling somewhere between a video game and a film, this feels like an evolution of the visual novel genre. I'd say the mechanics are somewhere between Bandersnatch and a Telltale game. Let's dig in and see what Flavourworks have cooked up for us. Erica - You're my butterfly, sugar baby Have you played many full-motion video games? It's probably not many people's favourite genre. What do you think these games could do to boost their profile and appeal? Leave a comment below with your thoughts. Gameplay Erica opens with a scene where she and her father are discussing Erica's mother. Here we learn that her mother and father met ...

CryoFall Review – Minecraft…IN SPACE

What do you get when you combine Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft, all set in the far reaches of the galaxy, you get Cryofall. After the release of Atomic Torch Studio's first open-world sci-fi game VoidExpanse, they introduce to us their new creation in the science fiction genre. On an unknown planet, you take control of a player of any likeness you choose and set out on a journey to build and conquer. CryoFall - The game where you can mine for treasure and build epic houses but run away at the slightest sign of danger I have never played any games like this before and I feel like this is a good introduction, especially coming from a sci-fi fan like me. Since this is an indie company's third game, I wanted to give them some slack. They're new to this so I don't want to be to...

It’s About Time I Introduced My Son To Gaming – Did We Go N.SANE?

Lately, my son has shown quite an interest in gaming. Whether that be child-friendly streamers showing us games like Roblox or hands-on with mobile gaming on the iPad. I thought it's about time I introduced my son to gaming. I grew up in the NES era of console gaming and that was originally my go-to. However, characters from the Playstation 1 era are the ones that really stuck with me. Therefore I couldn't think of a better game other than Crash Bandicoot 4 - It's About Time! Daddy Why Did They Make It So Difficult For Children And Adults? Was I wrong to chose this particular one? And just how did this introduction go? Keep reading to find out! If you are a Crash Bandicoot fan and are looking for the full review then I highly recommend you check out our review by Bri for Crash Bandicoot ...
