Transport Fever 3 – PC Review

Does life ever get so dull that you feel the only thing that will satisfy your burning urges is to run a multimillion-pound transport company? Me too! Well, thankfully Urban Games have come through with Transport Fever 3. From the 1900s horse-drawn carriage to trains flying along the tracks at 200 km/h, it is all there. This is going to be a walk in the park, surely? Transport Fever 3 - High Speed, or Limping Along? Having played Railroad Tycoon when it first came out, all the way to Transport Fever 2, I would say that I was in a good position to see what the fuss is about. Gonna blow my controller's whistle and set the review express in motion. Gameplay Where to start with Transport Fever 3? There is so much to look at. Tutorial, Map designer, Scenarios and all the associated sett...

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve – PS5 Review

Seven years after the previous game in the franchise, Bandai Namco is back with a sonic boom with the recent release of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve! Dubbed as a "combat flight simulation" title, I'm sure we can expect lots of dogfights, impressive aerial manoeuvres, and some tricky to master controls! Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is out now and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Take to the Skies in Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve! Despite this being the ninth mainline entry, I'll admit I'm not all that clued in with the franchise. I played a few of the PlayStation 2 games, but my history with Ace Combat is pretty limited. Nevertheless, I was pretty excited to earn my wings in this one! Do you have a favourite game in the series to recommend? If so, let me know i...

Train Sim World 7: Tadami Line DLC – PS5 Review

Well, this is a piece of downloadable content that's been a long time coming! First announced for Train Sim World 4 back in 2024, the Tadami Line: Aizu-Wakamatsu - Tadami Route Add-On has finally arrived for Train Sim World 7! Fans have been clamouring for a Japanese route for years at this point, with each yearly release bringing disappointment with the absence of the Tadami Line. At £29.99, it's by no means cheap. But is this trip worth the ticker price? Train Sim World Finally Arrives in Japan! With so much downloadable content available across the series, it can be difficult to pick a favourite route. I personally enjoy lines that I've travelled on in real life. How about you, fellow Train Sim World fans? Which route do you find yourselves going back to again and again? Let me kno...

Dressmaker – PC Review

After taking the cosy gaming world by storm with a simple trailer, Dressmaker has finally launched on Steam. With some lofty expectations to live up to, we tried out this debut release from Cozy Lives to see just how far they have pushed the cosy gaming genre. Currently available on Steam for £13.90, read our review to see whether Dressmaker is worth adding to your library. Check out our other PC reviews here. See a dress, make a dress, become the best Dressmaker. Gameplay Dressmaker is far more in depth than I initially anticipated but in the best way. It's not a case of just make a pretty dress, it's taking measurements, playing tetris to maximise use of fabric. Getting to know NPCs is also a big part of the games as you slowly learn their dress preferences. As you make more d...

Worming From Home – PC Review

It's been a long day at work filling out spreadsheets. Now it's time to turn on my PC, load up Steam and play a game about filling out spreadsheets. It's totally different though because now I'm a worm. I've been waiting a long time for Worming From Home to hit the Steam shelves after play the demo a while ago. Who knew that typing as a worm could be so hard? Gameplay The first thing that crosses my mind when thinking about Worming From Home is... just how much can a worm do? Turns out quite a bit if you were to ask Zach Northrop and Mason Sabharwal. The game is pretty simple in its premise if you take a look on the Steam page it's simply a "Remote work simulator where you are a worm :)". There is work and you are most definitely a worm but don't let the label fool you. Somehow, there...

Bunker Tidy Up – PC Review

Bunker Tidy Up is the latest organization simulator by Tovarishch Games (Liquor Store Simulator). With publishing by sim-centric PlayWay S.A., this game has you busy organizing the various supplies that have been simply dumped into a bunker. You can check it out on Steam now for PC. Enter Your Unknown OCD Organization Skills I don't play a lot of simulator games. Not that they don't interest me, they just usually take more time and attention than I want to spend on them. I took a look at Bunker Tidy Up mostly because it seemed simple and easy to play through. I missed the part about how many individual items there were to pick up and sort... Nevertheless, I persevered and my review can be found below! Gameplay Bunker Tidy Up is a simulator about picking up, sorting and stocking sup...

Train Sim World 7 – PS5 Review

Developer Dovetail Games are back on track once again, this time with their latest iteration in the simulation genre; Train Sim World 7! Aside from featuring brand-new routes and locomotives, what else is new? As we so often see with sports titles, yearly releases can limit the number of new modes and features. Is this worth the upgrade from last year's Train Sim World 6? Train Sim World 7 is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox One Series X|S, and PC. Arrive Right on Time in Train Sim World 7! As simple as the premise is for the Train Sim World titles, I must admit I'm quite the fan. While I'm no trainspotter or anything of the sort, there's just something so incredibly peaceful about playing these games. Some noise-cancelling headphones, a cup of tea, and safely driving my train cre...

Bus Simulator 27 – PS5 Review

It seems like every job going has had a simulator game or two dedicated to it. Although, I'd wager the humble driver has featured in the most. Bus Simulator 27 narrows down that broad range and puts you behind the wheel of a bus. Who'd have guessed? For this iteration, development was handled by Simteract, not stillalive studios who worked on the previous titles. Despite Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop receiving mostly positive reviews, will this change of team work out for the best? Or is this a bus we'd rather have missed? Bus Simulator 27 is out now, and is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Build a Mighty Fleet of Buses in Bus Simulator 27! With just having finished a review for Train Sim World 7, and currently playing House Flipper Remastered Collection, a lot of ...
