The Pharaoh’s Tomb: Online Escape Room Experience – PC Review

Wolf Escape Games has made a habit of dropping players into strange situations and calmly asking them to think their way out, and with The Pharaoh’s Tomb, the studio dives headfirst into ancient mystery. This is the fourth escape game in their catalogue, and having reviewed both Hallows Hill and Phantom's Hour it feels like a confident step forward rather than a simple repeat of past ideas. Swapping modern locations for dusty ruins and long-forgotten secrets, the game invites you to step into a cinematic puzzle adventure inspired by classic archaeological tales and golden-age detective fiction. Set in Cairo, 1901, you play as Sherlock and Watson, and the setup is immediately enticing. A priceless artefact has vanished, a lost heiress, clues point to Egypt, and an ancient tomb hides answ...

Marvel Cosmic Invasion – PC Review

MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is a pixel-art beat'em up developed by Tribute Games Inc. and published by Dotemu. Playable solo or with up to four players in local or online co-op, the game delivers fun and fast-paced combat where players will visit some of the best-known locations of the Marvel Universe. Retro Pixel Arcade Action Galore After the success of 2022's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, game developers Tribute Games have come up with another excellent retro, pixel-art, arcade-style beat-'em-up game. Marvel Cosmic Invasion uses the same action-filled formula as its predecessor but enhances it with a larger hero roster and adds another layer of complexity through its swap mechanic. This game is a deep cut to 90s pop culture, when home PCs and consoles weren't as ...

Previews & Early Access

Eat The Rich – PC Preview

Eat the Rich is a multiplayer party game all about alliances, betrayals, and secret advantages. Developed by Maccima Games and published by Monstronauts, it was released on Steam into Early Access on September 10th. Sounds like Food Poisoning to me Who doesn't love a good party game? What about a mediocre one? While it's great when game developers have many ideas for their game, maybe putting all of them in at once isn't the best idea. Let's get into it! Gameplay Eat the Rich is a multiplayer party game in which you scramble through mini-games, betray your friends, and ruthlessly compete to be as rich as anyone could possibly ever be! Imagine a weird mix between Jackbox Party and Among Us. The main difference is that those games are actually fun to play. Eat the Rich tries to throw...

Jump Space – PC Preview

Jump Space is a co-op, mission-based FPS that just launched into early access on Steam and Xbox. For this preview we got hands on with the PC version. Gather up to three of your friends and follow developer Keepsake Games into the void of space. You'll crew your own ship, fight in space and on the ground, and work together against a spreading robotic corruption. Join the resistance today! Jump... and Shoot and Fly and Loot! Ok before we get into it, I need to own up to something. In my opinion the Jump to Lightspeed content in Star Wars Galaxies was peak for me. It was my first experience in an MMO and I absolutely loved getting into space on a ship of my own or as part of a crew for someone else. It was a highlight in my gaming experience that I will forever pursue to feel again. Wh...

Gears of War: Reloaded – PS5 Review

The iconic alien horror shooter best known for its over-the-top gore, its unironic use of macho bravado, and its high-adrenaline action is back (once again). That's right this is a review of Gears of War: Reloaded. The Coalition, the Xbox Studios developers behind this gory chainsaw party, could have delivered just another lazy, half-hearted remastered game like we have unfortunately grown used to in recent years, looking at you The Last of Us. Instead, they have delivered a significant visual upgrade compared to its 2015 remastered Xbox version. Welcome to the War (again)! Nearly 20 years since its exclusive release on the Xbox 360, Gears of War has arrived on the PlayStation 5. The remastered game, rebranded as Gears of War: Reloaded, signifies the end of an era known as the console wa...

FBC: Firebreak – PC Review

FBC: Firebreak is a new 3-player co-op FPS by Remedy Entertainment, the same studio that brought us Control. Take a step back into the FBC's headquarters and clean up various paranormal occurrences within. It is available now on PS5, Xbox X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic, or PC Game Pass. Today I'm checking out the PC version. Contain Chaos in FBC: Firebreak Control is a very enjoyable game in my humble opinion. I definitely never spent nearly as much time as I could or wanted to spend in it, but it is one of the few games that I have completed the main story in. FBC:Firebreak is a completely different style of game though, so I was curious where the similarities bled through. What I found was an interesting mixture of genres with a whole lot of Hiss to fend off. Check out my review of the PC...

SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure – PC Review

I've been searching for a game to fill the gap that Cuisineer has left. So when indie developers kopiforge reached out offering the chance to play their new game SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure I couldn't say yes fast enough. Recently released on Steam for around £13, this game promises a cooking-combat adventure. And even better it's first and foremost a co-op game! Wok hard, Play Harder As one half of a co-op streaming channel, you can often find me moaning that the co-op genre has been brimming with games that are much of the same muchness. Same gameplay recipe, slightly different game dished up. Which is where I'm really hopeful that SEDAP! A Culinary Adventure is different. Let's head out on this quest together. Plot The story begins with friends Som and Gon walking along the beac...

Oppidum – PS5 Review

Open-world survival crafting games are relatively commonplace in today's gaming market. That said, I'm always excited to try any new ones, especially when they look as intriguing as Oppidum! Created by developer EP Games, Oppidum is a story-driven adventure for one to four players, with a charming art style and simple yet rewarding combat and crafting mechanics. Recently released for PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X|S, and PC, a Switch version of the game is coming soon. I'll be playing the PlayStation 5 version for this review. Could this be my next gaming obsession? Or will it be just one of many underwhelming titles in the genre? Let's have a look! Cats and Crafting and Co-op, oh my!
