Secrets Of The Witch House – PC Review

Are you looking to shoot through monsters, demons, and other evils alongside the danger of permadeath? Then Demon Zoo Games LLC's first-ever game, Secrets Of The Witch House, may be up your alley. Secrets Of The Witch House is a procedurally generated, third-person action shooter and roguelike, setting players to kill and maim the evil that attempts to stop them from discovering the dark secrets within the house. If this sounds like your cup of tea, pick this game up soon on Steam on June 5th, 2023. The Truth May Surprise You Secrets Of The Witch House caught my eye as it's an indie roguelike and shooter game, two genres I am a big fan of. Since I enjoyed the likes of The Binding Of Isaac and Gunfire Reborn, I thought this colourful indie game would be worth a try. More impressively so, ...

Eresys – PC Preview

Eresys is a horror survival game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft by developers Ares Dragonis. It was released on 23rd April 2023 as an early-access game on pc. Just before writing this review, the developers have updated the game and you can expect more in the future. Unlike their previous release with a similar theme, The Shore, this game features a four-player co-op. I gathered up some Thumb Culture elite and we all ventured into the unknown to experience this game firsthand. Exorcising the Demons Within I had actually played through game developer Ares Dragonis's previous release The Shore. In that game, you explore a photo-realistic Lovecraftian environment solving puzzles and combating demons. I fell in love with this type of game and knew I had to try Eresys. Do you love th...

Alterity Experience – Xbox Series X Review

In a world where the truth is out there, Onitron Studios brings us Alterity Experience. This is a chance to experience what it will be like in the middle of an alien invasion. Time to find those crop circles and take this title for a spin. Best move the laptop to the basement and fashion myself a tinfoil hat. Alterity Experience - Purple Haze, or Purple Ama(i)ze? Gameplay I start my adventure in Alterity Experience in an office looking at computer screen and a purple corn on the cob. I must admit that it is a pretty strange beginning, but I get the feeling that nothing about my experience is going to be not strange. It turns out that the missus and the kids have gone to watch a film leaving me on my own to investigate the purple glow. After a brief tutorial about how the buttons and ...

Scars Above – PS5 Review

From the Developer's Mad Head Games, Scars Above is a fairly challenging sci-ﬁ third-person action-adventure shooter with an interesting story and very mysterious lore. Mad Head Games also brought us games such as the Nevertales franchise and Rite of Passage. I haven't seen many of the titles they have made before, but it seems to me that they are more of a mobile games developer and this seems to be their first major console-related title. Scars Above, monsters, and science below The game caught my attention because of what it had on offer. It had survival elements, stranded on a planet and a mysterious alien race. What more could you ask for? Did you know about Scars Above before reading this? Are you excited to get stuck in and play it? Let us know in the comments! Gameplay Scars Ab...

Saturnalia – PS5 Review

Saturnalia comes from the creative minds at Santa Ragione. It is inspired and influenced by the folklore of Sardinia, Italy. This survivor-horror adventure may have you lost in its labyrinth of a village, the structure which changes every time all your characters die. Twists and Turns Await In Saturnalia Seeing the trailers for Saturnalia, those slightly older gamers will struggle not to notice the familiar art style. My mind first jumped to the music video by the Norwegian band A-ha which used the same watercolour style. It grabbed me straight away as I was interested in how this would work in a game setting. Gameplay Saturnalia is a mix of Survival Horror and Adventure. The quaint village of Gravoi is the setting for our four protagonists. Gravoi is celebrating its own Saturnalia...
