Deadzone: Rogue – PC Early Access Preview

Deadzone: Rogue is a roguelite FPS by Prophecy Games (Tribes 3) now available in Early Access via Steam or Epic. Live, die, repeat in this foray onto a drifting colony ship to Mars that never made it. Fight your way through bots, cyborgs, and even reanimated corpses as you search for answers not only about the ship but about yourself. Going Rogue in the Deadzone Deadzone: Rogue has been on my radar for a while now. I spent a good amount of time playing the demo, which left me wanting more. Even as an Early Access launch, the game has not been disappointing in the slightest. Check out my thoughts on this latest roguelite below! Gameplay Deadzone: Rogue is a first person shooter roguelite that can be played solo or co-op. As a [insert spoiler here], fight and die to upgrade and fight...

DOOM: The Dark Ages – PC Review

DOOM: The Dark Ages is an Action, First Person Shooter from the same brains behind the rest of the DOOM series, id Software. Thankfully the funds from Bethesda Studios have the cup run over for how great this game turned out. DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal. If you're wondering if you can play this DOOM before the others, yes however I would always start with the older games first. All you lost lambs that are entering the DOOM series with DOOM: The Dark Ages, I have one thing to say... Rip and tear...Rip and Tear...RIP and Tear...RIP AND Tear...RIP AND TEAR...RIP AND TEAR!!!!!!!! For everyone out of the loop or they're reading this review to see if DOOM is right for them, sit down, because I got a tale to rip and tear right into you. Gameplay The...

Stygian: Outer Gods – PC Preview

Stygian: Outer Gods is the prequel to the old game Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones. But this new survival horror is being made Misterial Games. In this early preview, I’ll be looking around the small village of Kingsport. And uncovering clues and events leading up to the Black Day. The game will be releasing on April 14th on Steam. So click here if you think it's up your alley. Warning! This article contains GIFS with flashing images. The whispers, they talk to me. Gameplay The devs aimed for Stygian: Outer Gods focus to be exploration. This is to allow the player to get fully immersed in the story and its characters. We will get to make choices that will create events leading up to the Black Day. Whatever that is. This will come into play when interacting with NPC and how you act w...

Moros Protocol – PC Preview

Moros Protocol is not here to hold your hand. If anything, it’s here to rip it off and beat you over the head with it. Developed by Pixel Reign and published by Super Rare Games, this upcoming roguelite FPS blends the fast-paced brutality of classic shooters with modern procedural chaos. Think Doom meets Dead Space, but pixelated and utterly relentless. We at Thumb Culture got an early preview, and let’s say… we’re already bracing ourselves for the inevitable, repeated deaths. Moros Protocol, The Protocol: Wake Up, Choose Violence You play as Alex, an unfortunate soul who wakes up on The Orpheus, a warship that’s gone from “state-of-the-art military vessel” to “haunted house in space” in record time. The ship is overrun with horrors, and survival is less about heroics and more about m...

Turbo Overkill – PS5 Review

Turbo Overkill is an intense retro shooter by Trigger Happy Interactive. Previously only available on PC, thanks to publishing by Apogee Entertainment it is now available on consoles. If you want to grab a PS5 version you can do so for around £16.  If you're looking for your next Doom-esque throwback while awaiting The Dark Ages, then take a moment to read this review. Trust me. The Most Colourfully Lethal Boomer Shooter There have been at least a couple of other Doom-like boomer shooters that have come my way in my time writing for Thumb Culture. Each had its own bit of flair but still not quite as visual of one as Turbo Overkill. The colour palette is nothing less than a striking, modern retro too. Must be that cyberpunk theme I suppose. But check out my thoughts of this pc gone consol...

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. Bringing to life the latest in the Black Ops lineage, with Black Ops 6. Call of Duty is a Spy Thriller? With this, the first Call of Duty game being released on day one via Xbox Game Pass. Meaning there are potentially more eyes on the game than ever before. We need to find out whether this latest version of the world-famous franchise is up to scratch.

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...
