Grunn – PC Review

Pick up your watering can and get ready for the totally normal gardening game Grunn. Released today on Steam, Grunn is the latest addition to the Sokpop Collective catalogue - also developed by Tom van den Boogaart. Cut grass, dig out molehills and water the plants in your new boss' garden. Just make sure you don't go into the house - that is strictly off limits. Warning, there may be some slight spoilers ahead! I love when gardening sim games are just gardening sims... Gameplay Grunn throws you straight into the game without much explanation. You arrive at a small town on a bus after being hired by a local to do some maintenance on their garden. The small town nearby is perfect for a little adventure. There's also a park and a church for you to explore. Not everything is as it see...

Recycling Center Simulator – PC Review

Recycling Center Simulator is a first person, management simulation game developed by Balas Games and published by PlayWay S.A. Yes, it is exactly the game you think it is, and it released on Steam today! The World Needs Recycling, And I'm Reaping All The Benefits I’m no newbie to simulators, nor to PlayWay S.A.

Melobot: A Last Song – PC Review

Melobot is a third person, story driven game from an eagle top down view released earlier this month. It was developed by Anomalie Studios and published by Microids. Melobot is available on Steam for £15.99. It is also available to play on the PS Store and Xbox. Melobot: The Last Song offers a unique perspective on a well-told story; nurture nature and protect the environment. I only really needed to play ten minutes of this game to know I'd fall in love with it. As someone who adores simplistic graphical designs with a powerful story behind it, this game holds my heart. Even its title is a prime example of juxtaposition. The combination of a futuristic and sentient robot paired with the beauty of music. Chef's kiss. You can tell I graduated in Literature.. A Mellow Melobot Meanders in...
