Dakar Desert Rally – PS5 Review

Colin McRae and Sebastien Loeb are names I know, not because of their rallying exploits but because of videogames. My knowledge of the Dakar Rally is not from games but because of its infamy as being one of the hardest sporting challenges around. Dakar Desert Rally aims to authentically capture the epic scale and challenge of the legendary event. Become a Dakar Desert Rally Legend! Coined as the largest open world, off-road racing game of all time by developer Saber Porto, the game is set across 20,000sq kilometres of diverse terrain. The team, based in Portugal, have previous experience with racing titles like WRC, MotoGp and its previous Dakar game, Dakar 18. Formerly known as Bigmoon, the studio was acquired by Saber Interactive in 2019 and renamed Saber Porto. Played here on PS...

Way Of The Hunter – PC Review

Developed by Nine Rocks Games and published by THQ Nordic, Way Of The Hunter is the latest hunting title to come out from under the bushes. Available across PC, Xbox and PlayStation it is available to buy now. Way Of The Hunter - One To Scope Out Being a fan of hunting titles, I could not wait to check out Way Of The Hunter. It looks like it is aiming high! But the question is - Will it hit the target? Gameplay Join me on a little adventure as I pick up Way Of The Hunter on PC for the first time. Final Thoughts Way Of The Hunter does have potential, however with the high bar set by the Hunter: Call Of The Wild, there is some catching up and improving for it to do. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't completely write this title off. However, for now, I prefer Hunter: Call Of The Wild. ...

Train Life – A Railway Simulator PC Review

Train Life - A Railway Simulator is the latest release from Polish devs Simteract. Published by Nacon, it is out now on PC and will be coming to consoles on 22nd September. Being a lover, for some bizarre reason, of transport tycoon-style games, I looked forward to actually being able to take part in the driving, as well as the managing of a railway empire. Train Life - A Lot Different to Park Life! Simteract appears to be a very interesting developer that originally focussed on creating professional simulators for training purposes, with a train simulator being one of them. They began to make games in 2018 and had the ability to build their creations based on the simulation technology that they already had perfected. From Traffic AI to City Generators, they seem very well set up ...

Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 – PC Early Access Preview

Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 is a simulation game of the beloved leisure activity/sport just as the title suggests. And it is the follow-up to 2018's Ultimate Fishing Simulator. I felt from the get-go it was a faithful version of fishing perhaps to a fault. I have only experienced fishing once in real life once when I was a kid with my poor uncle and as a minor part of video games. Using fishing as the sole gameplay activity hooked my attention from the start and the experience didn't disappoint. Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 comes from developer MasterCode (Fishing Adventure) and Publisher Ultimate Games (Ultimate Fishing Simulator). The game is available now in early access on Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Xbox S/X and Windows. Will Ultimate Fishing Simul...
