Gothic 1 Remake – PC Review

Gothic 1 Remake is an open-world RPG developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic. The Barcelona-based developers have brought back to life this 2001 German jewel, which at the time of its release was considered one of the best European-made games. The project for the remake was first revealed in 2019. Seven long years later, devotees of the game are longing to know one thing: Has it aged like milk or like fine wine? Grab a pike and a shovel, we're digging for the truth in the ancient ore mines of Myrtana! Between A Hard Place And A Rock Gothic 1 Remake stays fiercely loyal to its source material. Not even as much as a cutscene has been altered from the original game. This is, of course, to be expected, since any alterations may provoke the fury of keyboard warrior...

In development by Paraglacial with publishing by THQ Nordic, this solo adventure has you wielding melee weaponry and magic as you explore ancient ruins and encounter an assortment of creatures who have only your death in mind. You can pick it up now only for PC on Steam. Similar Look, Different Feel in Fatekeeper I think I’ve played a cumulative total of less than 20 hours of Skyrim and other Elder Scrolls games. Apart from ESO, anyhow. But it feels like the most direct comparison at a glance when you see screenshots and videos of Fatekeeper. Sure, it probably has some similarities, such as perspective and visuals. But what makes it different? Let’s take a look at this early access state below. Gameplay Fatekeeper is a...

Bellwright – PS5 Preview

After two years in Ealy Access on Steam, Bellwright has come to consoles! Available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, how does this mediaeval-themed open-world survival game fare on the new hardware? Developed by Donkey Crew, Bellwright is still labelled as Early Access on Steam, and states that the console versions will be updated alongside it as it heads to a 1.0 release. With that said, let's preview this intriguing-looking title, shall we? Bellwright, or Bellwrong? It's rare for games to come to PS5 whilst still being worked on (updates and DLC notwithstanding), so I was intrigued to see if Bellwright was even in a playable state! The story opens with little more than a text box explaining a little about your situation. Years ago, your family fled the Karvenian uprising. A...

LumenTale: Memories of Trey PC Review

LumenTale: Memories of Trey is an Action, Adventure, RPG from Beehive Studios with assistance from Team17. The game uses a turn-based combat system similar to other such games. However there's a catch, you'll get to have a team of four Animon fighting at the same time! But, there are a few other twists in this game that really have you strategizing. Yet, I did try to do some online battles to no avail. Now let's fling out Holoken and start the show! What do you mean I can't do Yo-yo tricks when using the Holoken! I wanted to do an around the world trick before catching one! Gameplay LumenTale: Memories of Trey has you start off with a quiz that I still don't know what it was for. Although after a few minutes of answering those questions, you wake up as Trey. An android that was discov...

It combines hero exploration, kingdom management, and tactical battles in the magical world of Enroth. It's out now in Early Access on Steam, so let's check it out. Lo, The Heroes of Yore Returneth After years of decline and neglect under Ubisoft, the long-running Heroes of Might and Magic series is making a comeback for its 30th anniversary.

Voidling Bound PC Review

Voiding Bound is an Action, Adventure, RPG made in-house by Hatchery Games. This game brings in what feels like Pokémon. If you can play as them and roam around with the mutations that each species that the game has. With the area being a playground holding secrets and no boundaries unless gravity happens. Let's collect the mutagens and start this review! With the amount of eggs I'm collecting, I might as well start a egg farm. Gameplay Voiding Bound has us playing as the Wrangler. A person in a crew of 5 people roaming the galaxies to stop the spread of the infection that's spreading among many other planets in the galaxy.

Rune Dice PC Review

Rune Dice is a Strategy RPG from the minds at Smart Raven Studio. With publishing assistance from Kwalee. Rune Dice is honestly a very unique concept when working with dice and combat.

Remember, explosive dice are your best friend, but RNG....it's getting personal! Gameplay The gameplay for Rune Dice is honestly a game of pool minus the pockets and with almost the same amount of planning. I swear the game had me questioning sending the die to a wall to do a trick shot. Which was necessary to fully understand to perform the needed 40 combo dice to unlock the Archer. Sure, you need the aim to properly get this combo t...

NITRO GEN OMEGA – PS5 Review

Giant mechs will always have a place in my heart. No matter the medium, mechs are inherently cool. That's why I was very excited to get my hands on NITRO GEN OMEGA. This slick, anime-inspired title has you take control of your own customisable crew of mech pilots in a post-apocalyptic world. Developed by DESTINYbit, this stylish tactical RPG looks like it could be something special. Is that the case, though? It certainly looks the part, but is there enough substance here to match the impressive visuals? NITRO GEN OMEGA is out right now, and is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. NITRO GEN OMEGA: Style and Substance! AI has overrun the world. Humanity is barely surviving. Sounds eerily familiar so far... Survivors ...

Deadhaus Sonata – PC Early Access

Deadhaus Sonata is a new title from someone who worked on Legacy of Kain and Too Human. In this game we will be assuming a role of an undead vampire that will bring terror and fear to the world. The game is now out and begins its early access life on Steam for just £16.75. I personally haven't played any of his previous work, so I won't know if there are any nods to his other games. But maybe check out our reviews for some of the Legacy of Kain releases. Bring terror to a new land. Gameplay Deadhaus Sonata, throws you into the tutorial after a small screen of dialogue. There is not much in the way of story-telling from what I could see, rather most information is placed in lore stones. These are green obelisks found in the world and the hub. In the hub I could do a couple of things; e...
