The Expanse A Telltale Series Episode 1 – PS5 Review

The Expanse is the first title since the rebirth of Telltale Games. They are continuing with the format of an episodic adventure that has worked well for them in the past. To The Brig or The Airlock Based on James S.A. Corey’s popular book series and TV show, The Expanse. Players can now explore this extraordinary world like never before, taking on the perspective of Camina Drummer. When it was announced that The Expanse was being made into a Telltale series it piqued my interest and went into my book of games to keep an eye on. Gameplay Just a heads up, the game's storyline takes place before the TV series, so it's unnecessary to watch the show to enjoy the game fully. It is up to you to make the story choices, your actions as Drummer will shape the world around you. Episode On...

The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack – PC Review

The development team at Electronic Arts have brought us a new expansion pack that focuses completely on the horse girl community. Players can saddle up and begin their journey to becoming the next riding Champion in The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack. This is available to buy now on Xbox, PlayStation and PC for £34.99. Are you ready to start 'Rootin-Tootin'? I've been eager to play The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack since the trailer first dropped. Now, I wouldn't consider myself a part of the "horse girl" community, however now I've had a taste of it, I can't wait to have more.

Gunsmith Simulator – PC Review

I'm checking out Gunsmith Simulator, one of three games due to come out from the developers at Gamehunters. If you're a gun enthusiast or you just like guns. Then you can pick it up when it releases on Steam on July 19th this year. Welcome to the gun show I enjoy playing the simulation genre. If you've seen a few of my other reviews, Gunsmith Simulator looks just as interesting as the others. I've always been curious about dismantling a gun, and I understand that I could simply google it. But where's the fun in that? Gameplay Though Gunsmith Simulator doesn't focus on a real story, the player does receive occasional emails from their Grandpa. The first email says that your Grandpa wants you to take over a Gunsmith workshop and that it won't be easy. He also sends a Colt M1911 that...

SETTRIS PC Review

SETTRIS is a puzzle game of rotating and flipping block placement. It is developed and published by Zoo Corporation (Mystic Gate, Pretty Girls series). It is currently only available for PC on Steam. SETTRIS is Totally More Laid Back than Tetris Puzzle games have been around for ages. Some of them are nice and chill to pass the time, whereas others are anxiety-inducing. SETTRIS is thankfully among the former. I personally don't mind a mixture of the two though. Which type of puzzle game do you prefer? Gameplay SETTRIS is honestly a very simple game. Each stage presents a game board and the challenge is to get all of the pieces you are given onto that board. You are able to flip and rotate the pieces as needed. There is also no timer so you can take your time with each. Most of the ...

Dwerve – PC Review

If you're a fan of tower defence games, then the developers at Half Human Games have brought us their take on the genre with Dwerve. Released in May 2022, players can pick it up on Steam for £15.49. The soundtrack is also available for an additional £7.19 for those who love to collect music. Not all heroes carry swords I find this genre relaxing and not too demanding, which makes it a great way to pass the time. Games like Bloons TD 6 and Plants vs Zombies instantly come to mind. Both were great games, but what interested me with Dwereve is that it is more story-focused. I'm hoping for a nice selection of towers to use and a rich story I can get lost in. Let me know in the comments about some of your favourite tower defence games and what I should check out. Gameplay In Dwerve, our...
