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...

Pikmin 3 Deluxe – A Very Juicy Upgrade

Pikmin 3 has returned from its WiiU limbo. Now I loved the WiiU; I am definitely a WiiU apologist and a big fan of Nintendo in general. Let's be honest though, the console flopped and as a result, the games went largely unseen by a lot of gamers. Seeing all of these games make a welcome return to the Switch is brilliant and Pikmin 3 Deluxe highlights this. Hopefully, Nintendo continues this trend with the likes of Windwaker and Twilight Princess. Pikmin first debuted on GameCube and whilst I did dabble in it, I never really played much of it. In fact, hearing the phrase "real-time strategy on console" is enough to make most gamers cower in fear. The series, however, has a huge following and there is even a much-anticipated Pikmin 4 in the works. Gameplay As I say, Pikmin 3 Deluxe ...

Serious Sam 4 – The Perfect Stress Buster?

I'd like to welcome our newest writer to the team, Aaron, who has taken Serious Sam 4 out for a leisurely stroll and possibly carved up an alien or two in the process! Serious Sam 4 by devs Croteam, brought so much nostalgia back for me! I loved playing these games as a kid and I’m glad I got the opportunity to play the newest Serious Sam. In this all-out fun run and gun game, I can guarantee you’ll have a lot of crazy fun and a few moments of frustration. As expected, Sam is still his badass quirky self you grew to love in the previous games. Fast and fun what else could you ask for! Gameplay As soon as you get into the game you are faced with a lot, and I mean a lot, of big aliens/monsters of all sizes. Armed with a massive minigun in your hand you have just one thing to do…..s...

FIFA 21 – Well..Kind Of

Another year and another FIFA review over on Thumb Culture, this time we are looking at FIFA 21...obviously. So what does this years iteration bring to the game that meant the previous years just felt empty and stale? Well in all honesty not a lot. Jeez this is going to be a hard review to write. Gameplay FIFA 21 returns with the standard kind of thing you would expect from a football video game, updated team line ups, slightly improved graphics, a couple of new additions to old standing modes. Lets touch on them briefly. Pro Clubs (the game mode I tend to play most) has been given a small overhaul, you can now create tactics for the different defensive and attacking options. This is great if it wasn't for the sometimes god awful AI team mates that you play along side. The game...

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time – Something Old, Something New

Imagine a world where The Wrath of Cortex, Crash Twinsanity and Crash of the Titans doesn't exist. Are you there? Good! For the purpose of this review, we will remain in this ideal world. It isn't that they are bad games, it's just they are not good either. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is first and foremost, the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 PlayStation game Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. Since the days of being in the hands of developer Naughty Dog, it has moved about a bit but is now firmly in the grip of Toys For Bob. Toys For Bob have had recent successes with the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, so it seems only fitting that they take the reigns again for this original entry into the franchise. Once again published by veterans Activision, C...

Marvel’s Avengers – A Compelling Assembly

As somewhat of an MCU novice, I was excited to have the opportunity to review Marvel's Avengers, the superhero-packed action role-playing brawler developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. I say novice, but what I really mean is a total newcomer. Having only recently started to work my way through the Marvel movies (I've just finished Captain America: The Winter Soldier), I can confidently say I approached this game with an almost entirely blank slate and zero expectations. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on your position as a Marvel stan I guess, but if this game has shown me anything, it's that you don't have to exist in the world of the superhero to actually become one. Prior knowledge of this universe is helpful to some, but certainly not a prerequisite w...

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2 – Grind Straight Into The Action In This Thrilling Remaster!

Before Activision had Call of Duty as their yearly release, Tony Hawk Pro Skater was their pride & joy. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 is the latest remaster on the market, Activision & Vicarious Visions have come together to produce this masterpiece. These games were originally released in 1999 & 2000, the series has gone on from there though with many more games added to their list. The latest Tony Hawk game before this was a disaster so much improvement was needed. The game is available now on PC, PlayStation & Xbox. Gameplay If any of you ever played the originals of these games you know it was a time sinker. Whether it be grinding all the levels or creating your own park. The gameplay is a serious improvement on the last Tony Hawk Pro Skater, with the game...
