Grunn – PC Review

Pick up your watering can and get ready for the totally normal gardening game Grunn. Released today on Steam, Grunn is the latest addition to the Sokpop Collective catalogue - also developed by Tom van den Boogaart. Cut grass, dig out molehills and water the plants in your new boss' garden. Just make sure you don't go into the house - that is strictly off limits. Warning, there may be some slight spoilers ahead! I love when gardening sim games are just gardening sims... Gameplay Grunn throws you straight into the game without much explanation. You arrive at a small town on a bus after being hired by a local to do some maintenance on their garden. The small town nearby is perfect for a little adventure. There's also a park and a church for you to explore. Not everything is as it see...

Pneumata – PS5 Review

Back in April, I checked out a preview for Deadbolt Interactive’s new game Pneumata. If you want to know my initial thoughts of the game, click here. Today I'm looking at the full release of this new survival horror to see if it delivers. You can pick Pneumata when it releases this month on the 20th for the PS5. Disclaimer: some GIFs used in this review contain strobe effects and flashing images, please be careful. Why is it always the small towns that are the issue? Additionally, I would like to warn you that Pneumata contains heavy flashing images. Even though the game provides a warning, I do not recommend it for individuals with epilepsy or other conditions that can be affected. I don’t suffer with anything myself, and found the game too much. Gameplay The game begins with o...

Baby Blues Nightmares – PC Review

Last week we unveiled the release date trailer for Baby Blues Nightmares, a survival horror created by Steelkrill Studio that has you play through the eyes of, well, a baby. A toddler to be specific. Today I'm back with a full review of the game. Baby Blues Nightmares releases today, 16th September, on Steam. I'm gonna need a warm blanky and a cup of hot chocolate after this. Baby Blues Nightmares first caught my attention as it reminded me of the game Among The Sleep. Playing through the eyes of a toddler in horror games is a premise we don’t see all that often. And I do like my horror games. Gameplay Baby Blues Nightmares is a survival horror stealth game where you play as a toddler and have to do what it takes in order to survive. The gameplay is simple because just as in real...

The Casting of Frank Stone – PS5 Review

The Casting of Frank Stone takes the universe of Dead by Daylight (with original story) and turns it into the interactive storytelling style that I know and love from Supermassive Games. There are two versions of the game, standard (£32.99) and deluxe (£39.99). The deluxe version includes instant access to the “Cutting Room Floor” and some additional outfits. Honestly, I prefer playing the killer myself. Now, I’m not such a fan of the actual gameplay style of Dead by Daylight, but I enjoy the lore it has. That’s why I was happy to see The Casting of Frank Stone in this kind of gameplay style. I have played a good few of Supermassive Games previous titles, such as Until Dawn, Dark Pictures series and The Quarry. All fantastic games in my opinion. I’m really hoping the The Casting of F...

Baby Blues Nightmares Releasing Soon

Baby Blues Nightmares is a survival horror stealth game where you play as a toddler and have to do what it takes in order to survive. Solo developer Steelkrill Studio has announced the release date of this new horror game with a brand new trailer. Hush little baby Baby Blues Nightmares place the players in the tiny shoes of a toddler, offering a fresh and intriguing twist. This unique perspective amplifies the fear factor, making every creak of the floorboards and every flicker of the lights a harrowing experience. You always have to be careful, as stepping on toys can make noise and attract monsters. If you get scared, you will start to cry and that will also attract monsters which you will then need to find candy to calm down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBnyZ1s2BOQ Unique ...
