Earth Must Die – PS5 Review

After releasing for PC early this year, developer Size Five Games' newest title, Earth Must Die, is now available for consoles! As a fan of the developer's previous works, such as Ben There, Dan That! and Lair of the Clockwork God, I was quite looking forward to this one! Touted as a "British Comedy Adventure Game", will Earth Must Die both amuse me and satisfy that puzzle-solving itch? Earth Must Die is out now, and is available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Earth Must Die? Harsh, But Understandable... Some of my favourite games of all time are Point and Click titles. Broken Sword, Monkey Island, Grim Fandango — I've done my fair share of pointing and clicking! Although the genre became somewhat forgotten after the 90s, there have still been some incredibly fun adven...

Security 51 PC Review

Security 51 is an Adventure, Simulation, Point and Click game from the cosmic entities at Alawar. A game that gives me the vibes of Papers, Please only more multidimensional. Which just like Papers, Please, there are major consequences to the actions you perform. You'll have a lot of trial and error, but if you're an attentive person like me, you'll breeze through the first timeline. Now, let me scan you and give you a Rorschach test to see if you gain access to this review. How was I suppose to know that this guy was going to just melt like pudding. All I did was scan them! Gameplay As I mentioned earlier this game is similar to Papers, Please. You're a security guard who's in charge of following the rules and determining if someone can enter, leave or just end up dead. However, thro...

Celestial Return – PC Review

Celestial Return is a narrative RPG set in a dystopian near-future with similarities to Cyberpunk 2077, Disco Elysium and movies like Blade Runner. It is made by developer Metaphor Games (Cult of the Yellow King) and published by Shoreline Games (Onirism). The juxtaposition of Celestial Return's title and the setting caught my attention. And it didn't disappoint in how the plot progresses or in how the narrative choices play out. Celestial Return is available now on Windows. Will you listen to the angel or the devil on your shoulder? Celestial Return's protagonist is Howard, a former officer of the Paranormal Investigation Division (PID) and now a grizzled private detective. The game's prologue sees the police tackling a raid on the Abstracts, a race of creatures that seemingly phase in ...

The 7th Guest Remake – PC Review

Back in 1993, The 7th Guest was a massive deal. I was only 13 years old, and it felt completely groundbreaking. At the time, seeing real video footage of actors overlayed right on top of those drawn graphical backgrounds was mind-blowing; nobody had ever seen a hybrid mixture like that before. Because it was such a product of its time, I was honestly really unsure how The 7th Guest would come across in a modern remake. Old man Stauf built a house... It's tough to capture that lightning in a bottle twice, especially when the original relied so heavily on tech that was considered black magic back then. But stepping back into this world on PC, I was pleasantly surprised. Gameplay The core setup puts you back in the shoes of an unnamed spirit wandering the dark, forgotten halls of an e...

Whirlight: No Time To Trip – PC Review

There’s something comforting about a good point-and-click adventure game. Maybe it’s the weird characters, the ridiculous puzzles, or just the fact that they let you slow down and enjoy the world instead of sprinting between explosions every five seconds. Whatever the reason, Whirlight: No Time To Trip absolutely nails that old-school adventure feeling while still managing to feel modern enough to avoid becoming stuck in the past. After checking out the preview a while back, I was already interested in what the Willy Morgan devs, ImaginaryLab, was building. The humour landed well, the art style looked fantastic, and the puzzles showed real promise. Now that the full game is here, I can happily say the final result delivers on pretty much everything I hoped it would. Time For Adventure!...

Syberia Remastered – PS5 Review

Syberia, originally released in 2002, is a cult classic. The brainchild of the late Belgian comic artist Benoit Sokal, it combines steampunk and Art-Nouveau aesthetics with melancholic storytelling. 23 years later, Microids Paris and Virtuallyz Gaming present Syberia Remastered, launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on 6th November 2025. This was my first time playing the series as a whole. However I've played a click and point game before so I'm going to give it everything I've got. The remaster promises updated visuals, modern controls, and a few reworked puzzles. Does it live up to the hype, or is it just a dusty classic with a fresh coat of paint? A Journey of Rust and Snow In Syberia Remastered, you control Kate Walker, an American lawyer sent to the fictional town of Valadilè...

Simon the Sorcerer Origins – PC Review

Being a complete point-and-click adventure and pixel art nut, the first two Simon the Sorcerer games are very close to my heart. And with the three sequels that followed leaving a considerable amount to be desired, it seemed as though the series was long forgotten. Enter Simon the Sorcerer Origins by newcomers Smallthing Studios, available on Steam. Opting for a prequel rather than a sequel/reboot, Origins claims to go back to what Simon the Sorcerer does best with comical puzzles, British banter and fourth wall breaks. Is it fourth time's the charm for a worthy series addition and in line with its 30th anniversary? I had to find out! Have We Met Before? Set weeks before the events of the first game, Simon and his family have moved house after his expulsion from yet another school. Wh...

This is an upcoming (2026) narrative management-sim set in a fictional world of anthropomorphic animals. Today I'm chucking out the PC version, which you can Wishlist on Steam here.

They're in the build up to performing at the 'Aid The World' concert. The radio host, Iggy Pup (voiced by actual Iggy Pop), asks them if they always knew they would make it big. Apparently, the band were on the brink of breaking up back in 1993 when they decided they needed a manager to help them keep things i...

Lucy Dreaming – PS5 Review

The 90s were a decade filled with some truly fantastic Point and Click games. Many of which are still fondly remembered to this day. Unfortunately, the genre seems to be more of a rarity in today's gaming landscape! So, when developer Tall Story Games announced Lucy Dreaming was coming to consoles, I just had to review it! Lucy Dreaming was originally released on Steam in 2022, with a "Very Positive" review rating from players. At a glance, this looks like a wonderfully British-themed adventure full of witty writing and clever puzzles. But, is that truly the case? Lucy In the Sky With... Nightmares? From Day of the Tentacle to the Deponia series, I've played a bunch of point-and-click games over the years. That said, I'd love to hear some of your recommendations! Let me know in the co...
