Twisted Towers – PC Review

I thought that Twisted Tower would have had a bit more chatter around it. The demo I played a while ago was really fun, and I have been waiting for its launch. Created by Atmos Games, we embark to the Twisted Tower of Mr. Twist. The game is a first-person shooter horror game, which you can grab on the Steam store. Lights, Cameras, Action! Gameplay After a brief intro showing our main character Vincent's life prior to the events of Twisted Tower, it also explains why he has come to the towers to begin with. It doesn't take long for the wacky owner to show his face and have poor Vincent run around so he can ascend to the top. Along the way, players will gather weapons, like a slingshot, sniper, and Tommy gun. All of which you can upgrade to further give you an edge in combat. The Tommy ...

Halo: Campaign Evolved – PS5 Review

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a sci-fi first-person shooter remake based on the original 2001 Halo game. Developed by Halo Studios and published by Xbox Game Studios, it is one of the rare Xbox gems to cross over to PlayStation. Along with last year's Gears of War Reloaded, it marks the beginning of a new era in video gaming. As Beautiful As The Day I Lost You Halo is back (again), but this time around it's not just another remastered version like the 2011 Anniversary or the 2020 Master Chief Collection. No, sir! This time it is a fully new remake, completely reconstructed on the Unreal Engine 5. It is brighter, flashier, and glossier than ever before, and apparently that was a problem for some hardcore Halo fans when the first trailer was released. But overall, the conversation over its...

Angels Fall First – PC Review

Angels Fall First is a tactical FPS with space, vehicle, and ground combat. Strangely Interactive has been developing the game for over 10 years, built upon a sci-fi universe that started as a simple mod. If you are looking for a new tactical sci-fi FPS that is overflowing with opportunity for an in-depth experience, this may be what you're looking for. It is only available on PC via Steam. Familiar, Yet Not Really I hadn't heard of Angels Fall First until it popped up as a recommended game on Steam right around the time of its 1.0 release. At a glance and the brief description I had read, I was expecting more of a sandbox style of game. Instead what I found upon loading up was a very intricately detailed tactical FPS that reminded me of late nights playing coordinated operations in Plan...

Senara: The Sacrament – PC Review

I'm checking out Influsion Inc. newest game Senara: The Sacrament, a first-person horror game, set on the ship Senara. Why are we here, who knows. But what I do know is that you can pick up the game on Steam, and there is also a demo available. Why are we always unconscious at the start of these things? Gameplay Upon waking up on the Senara with no clue as to why we are here, we quickly find out there is a cult onboard. This leads to use having to find a mean of escape which goes as you would expect in a horror game. Now, fair play we do get to explore the entire ship as we look for a way off it. Meanwhile, you won't be alone as players will have to fight or hide from the various stalkers that Senara: The Sacrament will through your way. You will face crew mates gone mad, however you ...

This was especially the case once I found out it was going to be a roguelite too! Check out my thoughts on the state of the latest entry bel...

Far Far West is a first-person co-op shooter combining spells, cold steel, and wit. Complete missions and side objectives solo or with up to three others and then take on a variety of bosses. Then high tail it to catch the train out and return to the saloon to prepare for the next trip.

Watch what you Wish For in Far Far West When I first heard about Far Far West, it was being compared to games like Helldivers 2, Destiny 2 and Deep Rock Galactic. Given the amount of time I've spent in each of these games, it felt like this one would be right up my alley. Needless to say, I'm always happy to find a game hitting early access wit...

ICARUS: Console Edition – PS5 Review

ICARUS: Console Edition is now available on Xbox X|S and PlayStation 5. The console port of the popular PC survival game, originally developed by RocketWerkz, has been in development by Grip Studios. Though the PC version has been around since December of 2021, this version just became available at the end of March this year. It contains all the crafting, survival, and challenges that the game is well known for. Perhaps ICARUS is too close to the sun on Console... It's nice when developers keep multiple platforms in mind during early game design. This generally makes for a better consistency, but of course there are always some games that play better on console than their computer counterparts. Knowing how long ICARUS has been around on PC, I was curious to check how it translates over t...

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire – PC Review

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, has been on my radar for a good while, and that is mainly due to my love for both Rubber Hose animation and classic 90s style FPS games. The game is out now on Steam for £24.99, with some extra goodies like, the soundtrack and comic being available. Only cheese taste better when you leave it, not crime. Gameplay Time to hit the streets as Mousebergs very on Jack Pepper, a P.I. whose only fun comes from cracking heads or cracking cases. MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, drops us straight into a case, and quickly gives us the rundown of the controls through a mid-case mission. Afterwards we move onto Jack's next case. Players will go through several cases, but the game itself will have an over arching story as well. For the game-play, it is heavily inspired by classic shooters...

Gray Zone Warfare – PC Early Access Preview

Gray Zone Warfare is a tactical FPS in early access by MADFINGER Games. Take on missions solo or with a squad of your own as you explore a persistent, remote Southeast Asian island in both PvE and PvPvE combat. The game is only available on Steam. Tactics are Needed in the Gray Zone I'm no stranger to first-person shooter games. My most consistently played series over the years is without a doubt Battlefield. They provide a nice blend of ground and vehicle combat that I think draws me, alongside the steady paced action. Gray Zone Warfare is one that I've seen but not really taken a look at as far as FPS games go. I was guessing it would be a mixture of Rainbow Six Siege and Squad from the tactical standpoint. Let me share what I found thus far in my time with the game below. Gamepla...
