Care Bears: Unlock The Magic – Switch Review

Care Bears: Unlock The Magic from Maximum Entertainment is out now. You may know Maximum Entrainment from their previous title Squirrel With a Gun (review here). This is a stark contrast from that game, but if I have half as much fun as TC's Ruddy had with that title I'm in for a very good time! Care Bears: Unlock The Magic is available on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, for around £25. I got my hands on a Switch copy, so let's take a look. You should Care-a-Lot about this review The Care Bears are iconic, and the recent rebrand has made them even cuter. I was really excited when this first got announced. Hoping it would mean I could play as my favourite bear. Which is Grumpy Bear of course. I literally have a shrine to Grumpy Bear on my desk. Ask me nicely in the comments and I may jus...

Croc Legend of the Gobbos Remastered – PS5 Review

Croc is hopping back into action in Croc Legend of the Gobbos Remastered. Argonaut Games has taken up the task of fitting this classic game into more modern settings through upgraded graphics, a brand new control scheme and some other features. This funky little remaster is available on the Playstation Store for £24.99 Gems, fur balls with crowns and a whole lot of jumping Gameplay Simply put, Croc does exactly what it is meant to do. It plays a lot smoother than it used to (or maybe I'm just better at games now) whilst keeping that nostalgic feeling alive. It's a game that doesn't have many bells and whistles, but it really doesn't need them. If you have played Croc in the past, it's almost exactly the same as playing it back in the days of the PS1. Jumping, running, and tail w...

Hello Kitty Island Adventure – PC Review

Hello Kitty Island Adventure has made it's way from mobile to the big screen. Developed and published by Sunblink, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is available now on Steam for £36. It's also available digitally on the Nintendo Store. I am a big Sanrio fan and let me tell you I have been counting down the days to be able to write this review! A tropical island for me to spruce up, this sounds familiar... Porting a mobile game to PC and console is always a big risk. Does this break the mould? If anyone can do it, it would be Hello Kitty and her pals. Right? Let's find out. Gameplay Hello Kitty may have studied to be a professional baker in France, but one thing is for sure, never trust her to bake cakes on a plane. Unless you want to end up stranded on an abandoned theme park island wi...

Astronomics – PC Early Access Preview

Astronomics is a top-down space mining and exploration game by Numizmatic (Light Fingers). It launched into Early Access on Steam just yesterday i.e. February 10th, 2025. Best Mining Game since Deep Rock I'm always up for a chance to check out a new space or sci-fi game. Especially if they involve mining space rocks like in Astronomics. I wasn't looking for something that felt overly complex like Elite Dangerous or EVE Online. Astronomics caught my eye for looking simple and enjoyable at my own pace. Anything that brings something close to those Stardew Valley vibes, right? Gameplay Astronomics is a casual, yet exciting adventure of asteroid mining. As an employee of Cube Corporation, you'll mine your "claim" in space by landing on space rocks passing through. Do so by gathering al...

While Waiting PC Review

While Waiting is the latest release from indie developer and publisher Optillusion (Moncage). This point-and-click narrative game depicts the unnamed male protagonist's life at various key moments. The premise intrigued me as you can let events happen passively or actively participate to make entertaining moments happen. The game is full of tongue-in-cheek humour, and heart as you relate to the main character. It even had me belly laughing at times, something a game hasn't made me do in a while. While Waiting is available now on Steam and Nintendo Switch. Life pauses for no one in While Waiting Gameplay While Waiting begins with a child-friendly and humourous version of conception and birth, which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the game. This sequence introduces the mechani...
