Starship Troopers Ultimate Bug War – PS5 Review

It's so nice to see Starship Troopers getting so much love these last couple of years. First we had the strategy game Starship Troopers: Terran Command. Then Starship Troopers: Extermination, a multiplayer FPS, where you and other fellow cadets team against waves of bugs. And now the new single-player FPS, Starship Troopers Ultimate Bug War. Would you like to know more? If you love the franchise then you can pick up the game on Steam and PS5. Although today I am checking it out on PS5. Gameplay Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War, has us play a dramatic retelling of Major Samantha Dietz story. We will play her story from the start with her time at basic training. All the way to her non-surprising victory against the bug menace. The game plays as your typical action FPS, with us la...

Marathon – PC Review

Marathon is the latest IP from the creators of Halo and Destiny. Bungie joins the extraction shooter genre with this FPS, PvPvE style addition set in a failed human colony of the future. It is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox X|S. Shells Will Crack in Marathon Destiny 2 is one of my top games on Steam, Though I haven't been playing for a few expansions now. But my familiarity with worlds by Bungie have me looking forward to what Marathon has to offer. Especially since that whole artwork ordeal was settled. Now that it is here, how is it? Take a look at my thoughts in the review below. Gameplay Marathon is a first-person extraction shooter set in a futuristic timeline beyond humanity's attempt to colonize the planet of Tau Ceti IV. As a runner, your consciousness inhabits a synthe...

Project Songbird – PC Review

First thing's first, I have not looked into anything about Project Songbird. And I have not played anything else by Connor Rush or FYRE Games. Which means I will be going into the game blind, besides knowing the basics: it's a horror narrative, and we play as an artist named Dakota. Who knows, after this, I might check out some of his other works! There is a type of beauty, found in tragedy. Whilst Project Songbird does not release until 26th March on Steam, that doesn't stop you giving it a little Wishlist. You know we love helping out indie developers here at Thumb Culture. Gameplay Project Songbird places us into the shoes of the musician Dakota, who is struggling with a bad case of writer's block. After a phone call from her manager Rob, she is offered a recluse cabin in the wo...

While on Steam I was looking for a new FPS game, with some grungy visuals. And luckily I came across PIGFACE, published by DreadXP, and created by Titolovesyou, comes an ultra-violent shooter. Where we take down gangs, by any mean necessary. PIGFACE is currently in early access on Steam for £8.50, which is not that bad of a price. Murder has been served.

Go Roguelite on that FPS Rogue Point certainly gives off a unique vibe. A cross between a tactical FPS and a roguelite was enough to interest me. But can it hit the best points of each genre?

EVERDARK: Undead Apocalypse – PC Review

If you are looking for your next survival horror, then why not check out EVERDARK: Undead Apocalypse? It aims to blend fast-paced action, with survival horror, all with a nice classic 80s tone. Well, that is what it says on the Steam page. It will cost you £16.99, and there is a comic you can buy too for £3.99. Night of the living... eh? Gameplay EVERDARK is a challenging game with its main focus on survival horror. Supplies are scarce and melee weapons break after several hits so it is best to take caution. Since we are fighting Vampires the player is only able to stun when dealing damage. This is quickly resolved when getting the stake from an NPC early on. The story itself has us placed in the shoes of a random guy, who is pulled into a nightmarish night. And must save the world fr...

You can pick it up only on Steam. Mars on the Horizon With my recent time in StarRupture, I was looking forward to checking out another exploration type simulator. Horizon Journey looked like it would be a fun one, with less focus on harvesting for profits. Games come to Early Access in all states though. Check out my thoughts on the current state of this one below. Gameplay Horizon Journey is a simulation sandbox game set on Mars during the colonization period. A few pre-existing structures are strewn about, but for the most part you're on an empty slate. The objective is as clear as with any survival game - ga...

Halo Fans Are Mad About a Missing Boulder

The crown jewel of Microsoft Xbox games is officially going to cross enemy lines in 2026. Halo: Campaign Evolved will release next year on PlayStation 5. The news on the remake has been so excessively anticipated that it could barely even pass as actual news by the time the Gameplay Demo video dropped. The trailer looks impressive with re-worked lighting, stunning graphics, and sharp textures. The Warthog has a metallic shine to it, the plasma rifle fire glows, and Master Chief's visor glints. But, according to Halo fans on Reddit, these are actually all bad things. Most significantly, there is a large boulder missing on the beach in 'The Silent Cartographer' mission. Let's dig deeper into all the things that are seemingly wrong with a game that hasn't even been released yet. Gameplay ...
