Hell Let Loose – Get Ready Private!

The FPS genre sure is a big world out there, particularly World War 2 themed games. Hell Let Loose is a refreshing addition to the gaming community. We’ve all played the same old type of First Person Shooters whether it be online or career-focused. However, they all seem to miss one element which can sometimes be overshadowed by unlocks, gun attachments, etc. and communication and teamwork can be forgotten about. Hell Let Loose is the flagship title for Black Matter Studios. Released in June 2019, Hell Let Loose is developed solely for PC on the Unreal Engine. Hell Let Loose - Is it As Realistic As You Can Get? I hadn’t heard of this game before seeing this recommended in my Steam account. Approaching this game with an open mind, I dived straight in. Without doing any prior research o...

Chicory: A Colorful Tale Is Coming To PS4, PS5 and PC in 2021

From the publishers of award-winning games, Wilmot's Warehouse and Overland comes Chicory: A Colorful Tale.

Gears 5 Hivebusters DLC Review – Busting Makes Me Feel Good

It is the year 2020... A year where Microsoft struggled to really demonstrate why their machine was the most powerful on the market. Yet they seemed to release, with zero fanfare, one of the most gorgeous games I've seen. Yet they've finally done it with Gears 5 Hivebusters. Gears 5 Hivebusters is a free (well on Game Pass) DLC for Gears 5 that is a 3-hour origin story of Scorpio Team. The team was first introduced in Gears 5's sorely underrated Escape mode. Whilst it's only a small, linear campaign, it's packed with a lot of character and some really impressive visuals. Typical Scorpio... Blowing up swarm with a deadly gas... The Escape mode in Gears 5 was effectively the act of poisoning a Swarm nest. It was then a race against the clock, and the various antagonists, as you make...
