Meat Grinder – PC Review

Looking for a new horror sim, well so am I! For my review this time it comes from Meat Grinder, a hot dog simulator, that looks a like it has some fun horror to it. The game is created by Panic Panda, and has launched on Steam with a nice price tag of £7.15. All meat is locally sourced! Gameplay Players take the role of a no named character who is waiting to start their new role as owner of a run-down hot dog eatery. On arrival, we find out that this isn't going to be as easy as our character thought, as the price for meat is too expensive. Well, guess it's time to just back up again and head for the bus. Or so you would think if it wasn't for the kind and helpful suggestion of an elderly man. Who shows you that some delicious, yet questionable meat is just laying nearby... in a grave...

Yellowcreek Stories: The Cabin Watcher – PC Review

I enjoy playing small budget horror games, and keeping an eye out for ones that might surprise me. This time I'm checking out Yellowcreek Stories: The Cabin Watcher. A game made by Carloz Azugua, and published by JanduSoft. You can grab it on Steam £9.98, and it looks like it might be the start of an anthology. Don't go to a cabin alone... or maybe ever. Gameplay The basic plot is that we are a writer who has travelled out to log cabin, in hopes of finishing a book. But as you would expect this goes out the window. Yellowcreek Stories: The Cabin Watcher doesn't have a lot you can interact with, except for story reason. So with that you will be walking most of the time. When stuff does kick off, you will have to sneak around the killer who will walk in a set pattern and try to do tasks...

The Sinking City 2 – PS5 Review

I'm a big horror movie fan, although I have to admit I'm not the best when it comes to playing horror games. One jumpscare is enough to send the controller flying across the room and get my heart racing. Thankfully, The Sinking City (or more specifically, the PS5 remaster I played) wasn't full of cheap scares. Instead, it focused more on investigation, with combat taking more of a back seat. Now, with The Sinking City 2 developer Frogwares has flipped these two mechanics around, with this sequel being much more like a traditional survival horror. Considering their history with detective titles, would this gambit pay off? Would my heart be able to cope with all the Lovecraftian monsters out for my blood? Let's dive in and find out! The Sinking City 2 is out now, and is available on Pl...

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 ...

Nightmare Shift – PS5 Review

Another low-budget horror coming straight off the bus is Nightmare Shift. This game is developed by Binary Lunar, and has us playing as a new employee at a Motel. What is the worst that can happen? The game is available on Steam, but I'm checking out the PS5 version. I check out a lot for different horror games to see if they are worth your hard-earned money so why not check out some of my other reviews here. Hope you enjoy your stay. Gameplay We play Nightmare Shift through the eyes of Emma, who has just gotten a new night shift job at a motel. Players get the quick rundown of how the motel works by one of the reoccurring characters Anderson. All the scenes are scripted when it comes to clearing rooms ready for the guests, so sadly you don't get any real control. After everything is ...

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...

Have you exhausted the many supermarket simulator options available on steam? Are you looking for something that scratches that itch whilst looking for something a little bit unique? Enter Zombutcher by Odius. In this butcher shop simulator you take up the reigns as a zombie butcher selling animal produce by day. By night, you lock the shutters and start selling human meat to the undead who are waiting just outside your basement.

Tarsier Studios has finally cooked up another adventure for us with Reanimals new DLC, The Prisoner. Now, we step into another dark adventure in the twisted world from the eyes of two new protagonists. The common theme this time is centred around WW1 which is I find interesting. You can grab The Prisoner DLC on Steam right now for £7.99, while season pass holders will have access right away. While you're here, why not check out my review for the base game too! Although a prisoner, we must soldier on. Gameplay This time around players will assume the roles of Prisoner, and Solider, these names are from when I checked the mask menu. With The Prisoner DLC starting with solider speaking to Prisoner through some bars, things quickly change as we end up parachuting into a war zone. Players ...

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.
