Block Factory – PC Review

Block Factory is a new, relaxing creative building game that hit the market on July 11th on Steam. In this game, developed by OverPowered Team and published by Shiro Unlimited, you get to build and optimize factories to create your own 3D figurines from building bricks. A Solid Foundation? My hopes for this game were pretty high, but unfortunately, some early performance issues let me down quite a bit. I don't believe that it's a bad game, but it sure took me for a ride. Oh, and just so you know, my factories in the screenshots are such a mess and, uhh, let's call it "compact", in order to avoid performance issues. Yeah totally, that's why. Nooo other reason, I swear! I'm not bad at optimising, maybe YOU are bad at optimising. I think you're projecting, really. Anyways, moving on. ...

Descenders Next – PC Review

Descenders Next, like its predecessor, is an adrenaline-filled downhill racing game featuring a massive array of mountain trails to explore and stylishly fall down from. This new title from RageSquid and No More Robots is out now in Early Access on Steam. Let's take a deeper look.

Let Them Trade – PC Review

City builders can often be an overwhelming juggling act of spinning plates and spreadsheet economics, but Let Them Trade tosses that stress out the castle window and invites you into a cosy world of carved wooden cuties and economic hijinks. Developed by Spaceflower and published by ByteRockers' Games, the game is out now on Steam, This Game Is Well Made So - Let Them Trade With its whimsical tone, charming visuals, and intuitive gameplay, it's hard not to smile, even when bandits are cheekily robbing your merchant carts. But what really sets Let Them Trade apart? The king doesn't rule alone. No, his most trusted advisor is an adorably smug squirrel named Mr. Nuts, who perches loyally on his shoulder and, frankly, steals every scene he's in. So before you read on, tell us: who's your fa...

The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack – PC Review

If you’ve ever wanted your Sims to ditch the digital rat race for a life among whispering woods, ancient ruins, and talking raccoons (yes, really), then The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack might just cast a spell on you. The latest DLC from Maxis and EA invites players to explore the enchanting side of Mother Nature. Blending fantasy elements with rustic living to deliver a magical and earthy gameplay experience. This magical DLC will set you back about £35 from Steam or EA store. Pixie Dust & Prosecco! But is this expansion worth venturing into the forest for, or is it just another mushroom ring on the Sims DLC lawn? Let’s dig in (with a fairy-forged shovel, naturally). Gameplay Enchanted by Nature adds a lush, new world called Sylvan Hollow, a living forest biome w...

Prison Boss: Prohibition – Quest 3 Review

I spent the week diving into the fantastic Prison Boss: Prohibition on the Meta Quest 3. Developed and published by Trebuchet, it's a sequel to their earlier game, Prison Boss VR. I've not played the original so I wasn't sure what to expect. I think I might just have a new favourite VR game? Who says crime doesn't pay? Who knew prohibition could be so fun and lucrative at the same time. Lets dive into the world of being a chicken in the 1920s-esque New Yolk City and see if we can end up ruling the roost! Gameplay Within Prison Boss: Prohibition you play as a shop owner in the poultry populated city of New Yolk, where the overly zealous mayor has outlawed almost everything. This opens up a lucrative opportunity for you to make a quick buck by selling produce that customers can't fin...

Fruitbus – PS5 Review

Back in October of last year, I wrote a review for the PC launch of Fruitbus and gave it our Gold Award. The game has now released on consoles so I decided to hop back in the driver's seat of Krillbite Studios' game to see what changes had been made. Fruitbus is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X as well as Steam. Today I'm taking a look at the PS5 version. Fruit really does grow on trees! And bushes! And in the dirt! Fruitbus is currently on the PlayStation store for £13.49 if you're a PS Plus member or £14.99 for non-members. But just how does the console version play? Let's find out. Gameplay Fruitbus is still a game about meeting characters from your Grandma's life, foraging for fruit and creating delicious recipes for your customers....
