Chernobylite Review

Chernobylite is a single-player, science fiction survival video game developed by The Farm 51 and published by All In! Games. The game is out now on PC for £23.99 and is coming to PlayStation 4 & Xbox in September 2021 and next-gen consoles are yet to be announced. AN ALTERNATIVE LOOK AT THE CHERNOBYL DISASTER! I have always been fascinated by the Chernobyl disaster and horror games. Discovering Chernobylite I was instantly drawn into the way The Farm 51 took this and made it a truly unique storyline and allowing players to visit Chernobyl in the comfort of their own homes. Follow me, as we embark on a grueling story of discovering what happened to Igor's Fiancée. Gameplay Chernobylite takes a lot of inspiration from the classic post-apocalyptic game setting, but they make ...

Black Skylands Preview

Black Skylands, developed by Hungry Couch Games and published by TinyBuild. It is a title that will take you back with its top-down aspect along with its pixel-art graphics. Black Skylands is available now in Early Access on Steam, enabling you to play as it is getting developed and supports keyboard and controller. Topdown pixelated gaming that will take you back! I had no idea what to expect from Black Skylands, I am not a massive fan of JRPG and from the teaser trailer, it looked like it could fall that way. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the gameplay trailer. It was at that point I knew I had to check it out for myself. Gameplay You play as Eva, she and her family reside on the Fathership. Her father is trying to keep the Fathership and its villagers safe, whilst at the same...

Fishing: North Atlantic Xbox Review

Developed and published by Misc Games. Fishing: North Atlantic is the sequel to the hit Fishing: Barents Sea. First released in October 2020 for PC and then released on the 30th of June 2021 for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. You explore the vast ocean of Nova Scotia hunting for fish to make a living. Let's find out if this Fishing: North Atlantic review sinks or swims. Fishing: North Atlantic - Fishing Never Been So Much Fun I have to admit that I know absolutely nothing when it comes to fishing. So taking on the task of a fishing game was something that I was a little doubtful about. But it is also a simulation game and they can be really addictive so why not. Not playing the first game was also in the back of my mind but it made no difference at all. A fishing game is a fishing game righ...

Developed and Published by Square Enix. Dragon Quest Builders 2 was released on the 20th of December 2018 for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It is an action roleplaying sandbox game. It has you building in a fantasy land that is threatened by an evil cult. Can we build on this Dragon Quest Builders 2 review or will we crumble? Dragon Quest Builders 2 - Who Needs Minecraft As somebody who absolutely loves JRPGs. I had a feeling that Dragon Quest Builders 2 was going to be right up my street. I admit I never played the first game but my expectations were high, as all the Dragon Quest games are brilliant. But I never expected it to be a side step from the usual Dragon Quest games that I'm accustomed to. But if you enjoy this review then why not check out my last revie...

King Of Seas Review

King of Seas is developed by 3D clouds, and they have brought us a single-player open-world RPG. They previously made car-based games so have leapt to sailing the seven seas. They, alongside Team17, a well-known indie publisher who previously brought us the Overcooked! series and Worms WMD. Following the popularity of games such as Sea of Thieves, the pirate genre is growing. And I believe that King of Seas is only the most recent addition to the genre and is a quality one at that. King of Seas is available now on Windows, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Series X|S, and PS4. If you're still deciding after my review you can find the preview to King of Seas written by Martin here. King of Seas - I'm the captain now! You begin King of Seas as a newly minted captain and playing in a third-pers...
