Cyber Farmer – PC Preview

Cyber Farmer, is a new sim being released by FreeMind S.A. and takes us to a post-apocalyptic world. Where we must attempt to bring life back to the wasteland. It is entering its early access life cycle on Steam now. If you are interested in other sim games, then might I suggest checking out some of our other reviews? Would you like some digitally enhanced lemons? Gameplay We do get a little bit of a set-up for Cyber Farmer's story. The Earth has become a wasteland, thanks to nuclear fallout. Luckily our character, Kaizmer, survived and has been fortunate to inherit his late grandfathers old farm. Why is it always a grandfather? So, we are now tasked with attempting to restoring the Earth to sustain life once again. The tutorial gives you a janky, but simple rundown of the mech...

Tavern Manager Simulator – PS5 Review

Developer One More Time's debut title, Tavern Manager Simulator, has opened up shop on PlayStation 5! Originally released on Steam back in 2024, and in January 2026 for Xbox, this simulator is exactly what it says on the tin. Or... title, in this instance. Sitting at a "Very Positive" user review score on Steam, it seems like this could be a must-play for fans of the genre! So, for anyone that's ever dreamed of opening up a cosy little pub in the countryside, let's get right into the review! You Set 'em Up and I'll Knock 'em Back Tavern Manager Simulator opens with you taking control of a rundown tavern that is in dire need of renovation. Thus, it's up to you to restore this place to its former glory and bring in the patrons. It starts off slow, with the opening missions including...

Pure Pool Pro – PC Review

Pure Pool Pro is the latest pool simulation game by Rockwater with publishing by Ripstone Ltd. (Poker Club, Chess Infinity). Play through a generous number of modes, game types, and difficulties, with achievements and customizations to unlock. It is now available on PC via Steam or Epic, as well as for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Table I Have, Pro I Am Not Growing up, I always made sure to bring a dime to the YMCA. For this was the cost to "rent" the set of balls and cues for the pool tables. I only recall knowing to pocket the colour balls opposite of your opponent. Since then I've picked up on a few more rules and a table with my current house too. I thought Pure Pool Pro could maybe teach me a thing or two more. I will admit that I had to look up the difference between pool, bi...

The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy – PC Review

Released February 12th, the Royalty & Legacy expansion for Sims 4 doesn’t simply layer crowns and capes onto familiar gameplay; it restructures the very foundation of social hierarchy and generational storytelling. Where past packs flirted with fame or influence, this one formalises power into a living system that reshapes how families rise, fall, and endure. Heavy is the Crown Set in the sweeping new world of Ondarion, there are windswept cliffs of rebellious Verdemar, steeped jungles of Dambele and the gleaming marble capital of Bellacorde; the expansion feels expansive in both scale and ambition. More than just a picturesque backdrop, Ondarion responds to whoever holds the throne: taxes shift, festivals erupt in royal celebration, and townsfolk bow or whisper as your monarch passe...

Cash Cleaner Simulator – PS5 Review

Mind Control Games' debut title, Cash Cleaner Simulator, was an indie smash hit when it was released on Steam last year. With its current user rating of "Very Positive", this is one I've had my eye on as a console gamer for some time! And, wouldn't you know it, the game is out now for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S! Simulator games usually give players the opportunity to try out relatively mundane jobs, albeit in an engaging way (sometimes). With Cash Cleaner Simulator, this job is anything but mundane! The premise is simple: launder dirty money! Who Knew Money Laundering Was So Satisfying? I do love a good sim title! From PowerWash Simulator to Electrician Simulator, and practically everything in between. I'm always on the lookout for something weird and wonderful, much like C...

"Waaah, I am unhappy. My house is not studded with diamonds and my caviar is not covered in pure gold." Let's be real. We all played a city builder that feels like that.

Horizon Journey – PC Early Access Preview

Horizon Journey is a mars colonization survival simulator. It is being developed and published by Redivided Studios (Survive The Hill) and is now available in Early Access. You can pick it up only on Steam. Mars on the Horizon With my recent time in StarRupture, I was looking forward to checking out another exploration type simulator. Horizon Journey looked like it would be a fun one, with less focus on harvesting for profits. Games come to Early Access in all states though. Check out my thoughts on the current state of this one below. Gameplay Horizon Journey is a simulation sandbox game set on Mars during the colonization period. A few pre-existing structures are strewn about, but for the most part you're on an empty slate. The objective is as clear as with any survival game - ga...

UFOphilia – PC Review

Bored of hunting ghosts like in Phasmaphobia? Well, k148 Game Studio, might be what you are looking for. In their new game UFOPHILIA, we hunt down extraterrestrial life, and document them for the Men in Black. Or horde the photos and go crazy, I don't judge. The game is out now on Steam for £10.99. If you are looking for another ghost hunting game but maybe solo. Might I suggest checking out my review for Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I. Seeing, is believing. Gameplay There is no story for UFOPHILIA, we just start off in a van, where we can select either the mission or a tutorial. I tried the tutorial, but it seemed that a tool wouldn't spawn. So, I decided to learn as I played. Like most hunting games of this type, our objective is to use our tools to narrow down, a possible alien,...

Cairn – PS5 Review

What's this? Back-to-back reviews of games I did back-to-back previews of last year? That's continuity, folks. This time I'm playing Cairn, the latest game from The Game Bakers; a small French studio — just 17 full-time members working remotely around the world — responsible for Furi and Haven. It's clear these guys have some serious range. Speaking of, Cairn sees protagonist Aava tackling a mountain range, culminating in an attempt to climb the yet unconquered Kami. In order to summit this killer mountain, Aava will need grit, determination, and perseverance... as will I. Nothing Worth Doing Was Ever Easy As a realistic climbing/survival simulation, nothing I've ever played previously compares to Cairn. Yes, we have games with climbing and stamina mechanics such as A Short Hike and Jusa...
