Core Keeper is a 1-8 player co-op sandbox adventure with mining, crafting, building, fighting, and farming elements. It is in development by Pugstorm (Radical Rabbit Stew) with publishing by Sold Out (Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, Disjunction, KeyWe). It is now available for "Open Alpha" via requesting access from the Steam store page. Currently Pugstorm is planning for an early 2022 release but as always that is subject to change.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition Review

Welcome to my review of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. That's a mouthful, isn't it! The return of the iconic trilogy is developed by Grove Street Games (GTA Chinatown Wars, Max Payne iOS, and Android) and published by Rockstar Games (L.A. Noire, Red Dead Redemption). We all know the story of these games. We play as someone who starts their story as a down and out, working our way up the chain of organised crime gangs. I was kindly given a PlayStation review key for the GTA remastered trilogy, and I played it on the PlayStation 5. Three Iconic Cities, Three Epic Stories. Plus Lots Of Bugs. So how does the return of three of my favourite games from my younger days play out? Continue reading to find out. Check out my previous review here where I played Airborne K...

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...
