Loco Motive – PC Review

Loco Motive, out now on Steam, GOG, and Nintendo Switch from Robust Games, published by Chucklefish, delivers a slapstick murder mystery with a retro point-and-click twist. Buckle up, mystery fans; this one's a ride worth taking! Imagine this: you're nestled in the plush Art Nouveau cabin of a 1930s luxury train, expecting a leisurely ride with perhaps a touch of class. Then, before you know it, there's a murder, and you're smack-dab in the middle of a whodunit that would make Poirot swap his moustache for a magnifying glass. What's your motive for going loco? But before we dive in, let's get one thing straight: I'm giddy about this game. If you've ever fancied yourself a detective in an Agatha Christie novel or dreamt of sleuthing on the Orient Express, this is your chance! Got a favour...

Chicken Police: Into The HIVE! – PC Review

Chicken Police: Into The HIVE! is the follow up game to Chicken Police: Paint it RED! Which doesn't take a genius to figure out, so my apologies there. Developers The Wild Gentlemen and Publishers Joystick Ventures, promise the game to be a story driven, film-noir detective point and click adventure. But instead of humans, all the characters are animals or bug-anthropomorphised creatures. It was released earlier this month on Steam. If you don’t love chicken puns, please find the eggs-it Having read my review of silly point and click Death of the Reprobate, the PR team for Chicken Police: Into The HIVE! reached out and asked if I'd like to take their fun, strange and unique point and click game for a spin. Ever the one for fun, strange and unique, of course, I said yes. But did I have fu...

Death of the Reprobate – PC Review

Death of the Reprobate is the follow up game to The Procession to Calvary from solo indie developer Joe Richardson, and the final game within the Immortal John Triptych. Those unfamiliar with Richardson's work and who love Monty Python style humour really should rectify this immediately. And yes I am saying this because I am biased! The games are literal works of art. Renaissance art to be precise. However, if you're of a sensitive disposition this is not the review, nor game for you. Nudity, Vulgarity and Renaissance Artwork I have been a fan of Joe Richardson's works since I stumbled upon The Procession To Calvary during the good old Covid lockdowns of 2020. With nothing to do aside staying in my house working and parenting a toddler, I slowly lost my mind. Giving me the perfect mindse...
