MOTOGP 26 – PS5 REVIEW

Lights out and away we go! MOTOGP 26 is the newest instalment in the well-established MOTOGP series. Developed and published by Milestone S.r.l., it aims to bring 'A new generation of riding physics'. You can buy this latest addition on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC now for between £50 and £ 60. How different is MOTOGP 26 from its predecessor? Let's take a look together. Gameplay I have played the MOTOGP games since 2013, with a current goal being to 100% all years from 2013 onwards. Therefore, I have seen a variety of changes that have been implemented throughout these years. There have been changes that have been both good and bad, so it will be interesting to see how 26 is different from its predecessors. The game mode I have put the most hours into is the career mode. I...

I am Jesus Christ – PC Review

I won't lie, but I honestly did not expect to be reviewing a game like this, and a sim too. That is right I am checking out I Am Jesus Christ, created by Space Boat Studios, and thanks to them. We will step into the sandals of the messiah himself, Jesus. You can grab this right now on Steam for £11.39. "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12) Gameplay I Am Jesus Christ will let us experience the New Testament as the titular character, as he journeys the Middle East performing miracles. Some of the miracles you will perform consist of healing the lame, guiding fish, walking on water, and... this shocked me, exorcisms. All of these play out in little mini-games for you to play, like guiding a symbol while avoiding a serpent. While another had me use my mouse cursor to guide some fish ...

The House of Hikmah – PC Review

Have you ever played a video game inspired by the golden age of Arabic scientific and cultural development? Would you like to? The House of Hikmah is a 3D puzzle-platformer developed and published by Lunacy Studios, in their grand debut. Lunacy is an interesting studio: an independent, fully-remote, junior-built team dedicated to making diverse, narrative-heavy stories. Will Lunacy's ethically-sourced games nudge out a healthy space in a crowded market that can't even support Fortnite? Well, based on the experience I, a pasty white boy who is most certainly not part of the target audience, had with it, I believe they can. The House of Hikmah is a short, comfortable, well-crafted experience, like drinking a bowl of homemade soup. But what makes it so satisfying? The Key To Success ...

Thomas & Friends Wonders of Sodor – PS5 Review

Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor rolled onto PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on 17th March 2026. Developed by Dovetail Games and priced at £29.99. You may recognise Dovetail from titles like Train Sim. I was fortunate enough to get the £39.99 Deluxe Edition which included James as a playable character. As a child on the spectrum, I was completely enamoured with Thomas and his adventures. Stepping into Sodor felt like a pure childhood dream brought to life. There is something special about finally seeing the island realised in a fleshed out console game, not locked to a handheld, not tied to a plastic peripheral (eye-toy), and not forcing you to dust off a SNES just to revisit The Adventure Series from 1993. But does it take you on that nostalgia train, or does it leav...

Cosy Caravan – PC Review

Cosy Caravan is a cute little game about spreading happiness, by helping out, and making grub. Sounds like my kinda place! If you are looking for a whole new cosy game about travelling with a giant fluffy bumblebee. Then this game might be for you. Cosy Caravan is out now on Steam for £16.75. Nothing wrong with spreading joy. Gameplay Cosy Caravan, let us create our own cute little character who is then asked by their aunt for help. As she is busy preparing for a festival. After a short, but brief tutorial, we set off with our friend Bubba - the frog. And the large but chunky boi, Rigby, who is a large bumblebee who pulls your caravan. So far I don't think Cosy Caravan has an actual goal to work towards. We do start of as rookies to the guild, but this seems more like a placeholder mo...
