Destiny 2: Episode Revenant Act 2 Review

Are you not entertained? Many in the Destiny community have felt the past two months linger. General sentiment for Episode: Revenant so far is low. The tonics system for loot makes Onslaught: Salvation feels lacklustre in the gameplay department. Narrative deployment has also shown cracks. Some players feel the story has few stakes, despite the enticing set-up of the Eliksni's "Kell of Kells" prophecy. With Act 2 now out, does nostalgia turn the page on this Episode for the better? Story Act 2 focuses on Fikrul's incursion of a long abandoned fan-favourite space: The Prison of Elders. First featured in Destiny 1, we first met Fikrul and the Scorn here during the Forsaken expansion six years ago. Now Fikrul is back to search the ancient ruins for something. It's down to us to go th...

Moon Mystery – PC Review

Moon Mystery is a sci-fi adventure FPS available now for PC by indie developer Cosmoscouts. It is a steady mix of gunplay, puzzles, and exploration across more than just a moon. Published by indie.io (HumanitZ, Coromon) and successfully backed via Kickstarter in May of 2023, you can pick it up over on Steam today. There are also plans for it to be available via GOG at a later date. That's no Moon! With a title like Moon Mystery, one expects to spend a fair amount of time on the moon. I'm here to inform you that in this game, that is not the case. Are there any games that come to your mind when thinking how a simple title held a larger world than you expected within? I'd have to say this is definitely one of them for me. Gameplay In Moon Mystery, you set out to discover a way back home ...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – PC Review

It's that time of year again when the latest Call of Duty game gets released. When all the gamers out there get overly excited and pick it up. This year falls on Treyarch, well actually Treyarch, Raven Software, Beenox, High Moon Studios, Activision Shanghai, Sledgehammer Games, Infinity Ward, and Demonware.

Vampire Hunters 1.0 Release – PC Review

Vampire Hunters is a roguelite, 3D survivors fps by Gamecraft Studios (For Sparta, Rogue Summoner). It rolled out of early access and into a full 1.0 release on October 30th. The game is available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One/X|S. Like Some Version of DOOM and Vampire Survivors' Lovechild. I'm no stranger to the FPS or Survivors genres. The latter has more recently become a popular form of entertainment for me on the go. With titles like Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor being easy to pick up and play. It looks like Vampire Hunters is trying to give that survivors aspect a different perspective. Any crossover games that come to mind of similar type? Let me know what I should be checking out after my thoughts on the game belo...

Destiny 2: Episode Revenant Act 1 Review

Breaking the Ice Community sentiment around Destiny 2, and its developer, hasn't been the best since the release of The Final Shape expansion. As Act 1 of Episode 2: Revenant starts, is there enough for players to sink their teeth into? Grab your guns and hold fast to your Light, we're going alien vampire hunting. Changing of the Old Ways, yes? Potential story spoilers head for Act 1 of Revenant. Bungie is experimenting with the delivery of seasonal story content in this episode. All narrative content for each act in an episode will be available on launch week. Previously, story content was bulked out with weekly timegates or monotonous filler objectives. This leads to fatigue with story pacing, especially for those within the lore community. Bungie is hopeful this experiment wil...

Hellbreach: Vegas – PC Review

Hellbreach: Vegas is a wave-based zombie co-op shooter moving from Early Access to a 1.0 release on Steam. It has been available in Early Access on Steam since early March this year, but solo indie developer Infinity Ape Studios has stuck to his 6-month timeline. With publishing by Iceberg Interactive (Star Dynasties, AirportSim), the official 1.0 launch date was yesterday i.e. August 14th, 2024. Now this is Zombie Slaying!

Destiny 2 Update – Onslaught and Pantheon

Guardian Onslaughts I have been playing the new game mode Onslaught in Destiny 2 and boy do I have a lot to say about this game mode. I truly believe this game mode is a godsend to help bring life into the game. A well-placed tower defense that has us fight either a group of Fallen or Hive that I have to say...are downright evil! Especially the Hive with their Wizards, Shriekers and Ogres can all go suck on lemons for their broken ways. But, I'll talk more about this later and talk about the game mode a bit more. There are a lot of things that people figure out when dealing with the game mode, especially with the batteries. The batteries have more use than to help recharge the shield for the ADU. You can repair the defense you have. That being the decoys, turrets and the trip mines. Th...

Published by 3D Realms and created at Slipgate Ironworks™ comes a new retro-shooter called Phantom Fury. The game was released for Steam on April 24th, for £20.49, with a Digital Artbook also available for purchase at £2.49. Some players might know the protagonist from the developer's other work called Bombshell. Although that game was a top-down shooter, their new game changes to an FPS style. This is one Phantom that doesn't hide in the shadows We take the role of Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison after she awakes in a lab thanks to a character called the Colonel. The area you are in is being attacked by the GDF, and your first task is to arm up and get out of there. This takes the player across various areas and wielding a large armoury or weapons. This may be Shelly’s second game, but th...
