Fenimore Fillmore: 3 Skulls Of The Toltecs Pc Review – Remastered Classic Or Tired Old Gunslinger?

If you grew up during the 90’s you’d have struggled not to have played a point and click adventure. I’ve certainly played my share and loved most of them being a fan of puzzle games as a child, so I was very much looking forward to exercising my mouse clicking finger once more! Fenimore Fillmore: 3 Skulls of the Toltecs is a remaster by the Casual Brothers of the original 1996 game. Set in 1860’s Arizona you play as the game's namesake character Fenimore Fillmore - Gunslinger, after witnessing the attack of an old man named Buck and then accidentally poisoning him with hair tonic, you recover the Toltec skull before being ambushed yourself. When you come to your senses the treasure is gone, taken for safekeeping by a Friar and so begins your adventure… Gameplay Just like any...

I was lucky enough to get a preview key of A Plague Tale: Innocence which is developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Home Interactive which was an alpha copy of the final game that included the first 3 chapters of the game.

Anthem Pc Review – Bringing The Thunder And Raining Fire

Playing through the Origin Premiere access early week of Anthem I have just one thing to say to the developers at Bioware: Bravo. Anthem is a game I've been looking forward to since it was initially announced at E3 2017, and my excitement has been met with an experience that is incredibly fun to play. I know a lot of people were hesitant to trust in a game being published by EA due to their sordid history with loot boxes, but there is no presence of loot boxes anywhere in the game that I've been able to find. Sure there are microtransactions, but none of them offers a paid advantage to players, only cosmetic items for customising the look of your Javelin. Development for Anthem started way back in 2012 and had been kept relatively secretive until it was teased at E3 2014 by Bioware Edmo...

Moonlighter Review – Like Indiana Jones owned a shop.

Introduction Moonlighter is hard. There I said it. Don’t let the cute graphics, simple gameplay and cartoon violence lull you into a false sense of security. It is a real challenge to make any real progress and you will die a lot playing this game. Moonlighter is a rogue-lite, action RPG where you play as Will, a brave shopkeeper who dreams of being a hero. Published by 11bit studios and created by Digital Sun the game has two very distinct sides to it. You are both a beast slaying, sword swinging adventurer and a timid shopkeeper with dreams of becoming a hero, but it all makes sense when you play the game. The game is available on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Gameplay During an archaeological excavation some gates which lead to different realms and dimensions were found on the outs...

Sea of Thieves Review – The Seas Have Calmed

It has been a whilesince Rare’s swashbuckling title, Sea of Thieves launched. A highly anticipated title with many players, including myself being desperate to jump into the salty seas. However, to point out again, it has been a while since Sea of Thieves launched, and I feel it’s a good time to see how the game plays now that the tide of excitement has lowered. I saw Sea of Thieves grow from way back in the early months of 2017. Playtests had just got started in fact. I think I was the second wave of players to get accepted, but I didn’t get to play much. I knew from my short time with it though, that it was something nice and that the community was excited amongst one another in the private forums. February 2018 saw more playtests taking place as the game grew closer to launch,...

God of War Review – A Calmer Ghost of Sparta?

Yes, it’s that time… The Spartan himself, Kratos has returned in his first new adventure for the PS4. He's no longer happy with tormenting the gods from the Greek Mythos, he now wants to put the Norse gods in their place as well. God of War from Sony's Santa Monica Studios is one of, if not THE most anticipated PS4 Exclusive of the year. I know it’s one I’ve personally been looking forward to since it was first announced. Having collected and played every other release multiple times, it was torture when I found out the game was sat patiently at home for me while I was at work (Yes I considered going home sick just to play it... but I’m a model employee so I did my job and kept my Kratos rage at bay!) As it is always the case with the God of War series, the story starts off with a tr...

Double Kick Heroes Preview – Proper Death Metal

Double Kick Heroes by French based developer Headbang Club who reside in a "dark garage filled with guitars, drums and beer corpses" located in "Hell's 6th circle" is a side scrolling zombie splattering game where Rock music is your key to your escape. Inspired by the dramatic worlds of Tarantino, King and Rodriguez, it is up to you to lead your dysfunctional band of rock musicians on a nightmarish roadtrip across the map while dismembering hordes of zombies that chase after your exclusively modded car, the Gundillac. Gameplay My initial thoughts when I first saw Double Kick Heroes was "Noooooo, not another pixel based game!" Having seen the strange popularity of the low-res graphic genre rise and rise since the introduction of Minecraft, many devs have adopted the blocky imagery wh...

Moss Review – Taking on the Fairytale Like a Moss

Out of all the launch games and experiences on PSVR Allumete stood out to me the most. If you didn’t know (and if that applies to you then I implore you to check it out!) Allumete is a short but innovative VR experience made by Penrose studios and is loosely based upon ‘The Little Match Girl’ by Hans Christian Anderson. In Allumete you witness the story of a young, homeless girl from, what can only be described as the viewpoint of an invisible and inquisitive giant. You don’t affect the story, nor do you play a part in it. You simply experience it by watching the story unfold on a beautifully detailed floating city. Allumette quickly became the PSVR showcase for my non VR owning friends. It was the go-to experience I first gave them when they put on the headset for the very first time. ...
