Valheim Preview – Build Your Saga

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...

Tetris Effect: Connected – Not That Effective…

Tetris Effect: Connected is the follow-up to Tetris Effect. It's actually mostly the same game, only with the addition of all-new co-op and competitive online modes. These modes can also be played locally and are probably where the game really excels. If you're reading this, heck if you're human then you'll know what Tetris is. If you don't know what Tetris is then there's likely a whole lot more to this planet that you've never seen. I'll pause here a moment to let you go learn about things like the sun, air, trees and sandwiches. Now that we're sure you know what Tetris is, what makes Tetris Effect: Connected different? The whole shtick of the game is that it's Tetris with moods. As you manipulate the tetrominos on-screen they'll influence the beat, and the surroundings to help en...

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope Review – Don’t Abandon Hope Just Yet

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope (we will just call it Little Hope for the sake of this review) is the second game of eight planned games in the series.  Developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Little Hope follows the averagely reviewed Man of Medan released in 2019, yet they are seemingly unrelated to each other in terms of narrative.  Little Hope released on 30th October 2020 for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You have Little Hope on who can you trust, and who will you save? Supermassive Games have been synonymous with the interactive horror-drama type game in the last 5 years seeing success with titles like Until Dawn and Man of Medan.  Little Hope seems to have taken a different path of the supernatural than it did in its predecessor.  W...
