We Were Here Tomorrow PC Review

We Were Here Tomorrow is an Adventure, Co-op, Puzzle game from Total Mayhem Games. It is the sixth installment to the only game Total Mayhem Games makes. But, they live up to the expression, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" to the maximum! I've been playing their game since the first We Were Here and love the puzzles these folks come up with. So, I'm going to need you to cooperate with me and get this review started. I thought a Jester's job was to be funny...not to define the laws of everything in the world?! Gameplay We Were Here Tomorrow starts off where The Friendship left off. Rescuing the solo survivor of the last game and heading to a weird tear in the sky. Both explorers start heading towards the anomaly in the sky. However, the pulse from the anomaly causes the ice underneat...

Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction – PC Review

Crime fighting meets roguelike in Gilded Rune Games' new release Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction. Currently available on Steam, Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction puts players in the position of an investigator who has to solve various cases over a number of different locations. There's a lot to get to grips with from the get go with this game but is it worth it? These criminals aren't going to dupe me. Gameplay The premise of Dupery is pretty simple. There's a grid that features a crime scene - and occasionally other suspect specific locations - and a bunch of suspects. It's up to the player to decide whether a suspect is innocent, a meddler, a member of the syndicate or a traitor. Each suspect type gives the player different information to help you arrest all the bad guys. Dupery ...

It combines several different puzzle mechanics, all connected across the game's world. Order of the Sinking Star released on 8th October 2026. It launched on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows for £29.99. The question is whether Order of the Sinking Star pieces everything together, or leaves you scratching your head? Star Struck It’s difficult to explain the story of Order of the Sinking Star. That’s not because the story feels convoluted but because I simply still have so much left to explore. I’ve barely scratched the surface of the story. ...

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...

Hazard Pay – PS5 Review

I’ve always had a soft spot for a good puzzle game. So, when the opportunity came to get my hands on Hazard Pay, I was more than happy to take on the challenge. Hazard Pay is a solo-developed project from Smitner Studio, published by Numbskull Games. It released on the 10th September for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Steam. It costs £11.99, with a 20% launch discount. In this pixel-art puzzler, you play as an IPT clean-up worker. You must mop up secret biohazard incidents under orders from a mysterious voice on the radio. So, does Hazard Pay wipe the floor with the competition? Or should you leave this one in the hazardous materials bin? A Mop-topian Adventure Set in an alternative 1982, Hazard Pay gives us a simple premise. Clean up the mess, erase the evidence and leave nothin...

The Mermaid Mask – PC Review

The Mermaid Mask is the fourth installment to the Detective Grimoire series and the sequel to the Tangled Tower. From the brilliant minds at SFB Games, this game still lives up to its predecessors. The Mermaid Mask is a Casual, Adventure, Puzzle game that is well worth anyone's time. However, the game is originally a point and click game, but SFB Games has made their games controller friendly. To the point I played between my Steam Deck and my desktop on and off my work shifts. I can't explain how much I love this series and have been anticipating a new entry into the Grimoire series. Now sit back, relax and let's save the mystery in The Mermaid Mask. So, you're telling me that I can combine parts of a ship to a submarine, and it'll all still work with no issues?! Gameplay We play ...

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...
