Cursed Companions – PC Preview

Cursed Companions is an Action, Adventure, Co-op game from the minds at Crimson Forge Studios. It's actually a unique take on the concept that we get from games like R.E.P.O, Yap-Yap, and Lethal Company. The difference between Cursed Companions is that after meeting the quota, we have to fight a boss. But I'll cover more of them in the next section. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN AND THE TOWER OF WAFFLES SHE RESIGNS IN! Gameplay Cursed Companions has you playing for what I'm dubbing Kidney Beans. These Kidney Beans are in the service of the Queen, who must collect cursed treasures. However, there is one thing you must always keep to yourself if you don't trust your friends, and that's your "cursed word". This task will either break your brain or have you meet your maker faster if it's a word you...

This was especially the case once I found out it was going to be a roguelite too! Check out my thoughts on the state of the latest entry bel...

Hydroneer – PS5 Review

If you're a PC gamer, chances are you've played a mining automation sandbox videogame before. There are a lot out there, with many seemingly having something to set them apart from the rest. But which category does Hydroneer belong to? An innovative title for the genre, or something that does little to showcase itself? Developed by Foulball Hangover, Hydroneer is finally available for consoles! Originally released on Steam in 2020, it has seen a plethora of updates over the years. Now, Hydroneer is available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S! Hydroneer, Hydro Far, Hydro Wherever You Are Hydroneer is actually a title I'm rather familiar with despite never having played it. The YouTube channel Let's Game It Out made several videos on it that usually resulted in it slowing to a cr...

Far Far West is a first-person co-op shooter combining spells, cold steel, and wit. Complete missions and side objectives solo or with up to three others and then take on a variety of bosses. Then high tail it to catch the train out and return to the saloon to prepare for the next trip. You can pick up this new game by Evil Raptor (Akimbot, Pumpkin Jack) with publishing by Fireshrine Games (ODINFALL, Core Keeper) in early access now over on Steam. Watch what you Wish For in Far Far West When I first heard about Far Far West, it was being compared to games like Helldivers 2, Destiny 2 and Deep Rock Galactic. Given the amount of time I've spent in each of these games, it felt like this one would be right up my alley. Needless to say, I'm always happy to find a game hitting early access wit...

Dead as Disco – PC Preview

Dead As Disco is being made by the team at Brain Jar Games, Inc. and is going to be the new rhythm beat'em-up coming to Steam's store. We are going to be playing a character named Charlie, and in this preview I will be fighting against two bosses. If you are a fan of these style of games like No Safe Roads, or Muse Dash, then this might be up your alley. Want to try it for yourselves, then head over to Steam and give the demo ago. Who said Disco is dead? Gameplay In this preview I was able to play two of the boss fights we can expect in the full game of Dead as Disco. And they are Arora, and Hemlock, who will have Charlie boogie bashing his way to them through small dance stages of enemies. All while bringing the "beat" down in-time with the levels track. There are not that many contr...

Rogue Point – PC Early Access Preview

Rogue Point is a new tactical roguelite FPS from the creators of Black Mesa, Crowbar Collective. With publishing by Team17 (a lot of games), this solo or co-op experience is available now in Early Access. You can pick it up only on Steam. Go Roguelite on that FPS Rogue Point certainly gives off a unique vibe. A cross between a tactical FPS and a roguelite was enough to interest me. But can it hit the best points of each genre? Find out in this early access look below. Gameplay A co-op, tactical roguelite FPS is the best way I can categorize Rogue Point. It combines aspects from several genres and blends them nicely into a stand-out product.

Reanimal – PC Review

Reanimal was announced back in August 2024, is now finally out. It comes from the creators of Little Nightmares 1 & 2, and has us stepping into a dark, depressing world. I've had my eyes on this game since it was shown, and I am happy to be reviewing it. You can pick it up on Steam for £34.99 or grab the Deluxe Edition at the price of £49.99. That will snag you the season pass, and two additional masks. Honestly, though, seems a little steep. We're just animals still learning to behave Gameplay We are thrown into the world of Reanimal without any context. One of our main protagonists awake on a boat floating across a black ocean with nothing but red glowing life buoys to guide him. Shortly after, we save our second protagonist from the dark sea. And proceed onward with our journey...
