PlateUp! PC Review

PlateUp! by devs It's happening and published by The Yogscast is a hectic co-op roguelite cooking game with a twist. Launched on PC today (4th Aug), team TC managed a few sneaky games prior to release. PlateUp! - More Than You Can Eat? If you enjoy games like Overcooked but have always wanted to chew on that little bit more of a challenge when it comes to the business side, then this could be what you are looking for. Gameplay Plateup! is in essence the amalgamation of both the cooking and serving concept along with managing a restaurant. While the frantic gameplay is a given when customers enter your eatery and begin ordering food, PlateUp! offers a lot deeper action in terms of customisation. Playable as single player, local co-op, online and remote play together, PlateUp! is acce...

Zombie Cure Lab – PC Preview

Zombie Cure Lab is a new sandbox lab builder developed by Thera Bytes GmbH and published by Aerosoft GmbH. Gather, build and survive the ever-growing waves of zombie hordes in this Colony Sim/Base Building/RTS mashup. Friends, NOT Foe! As the title might suggest, Zombie Cure Lab sees players capture and cure - not kill, zombies. So zombies are... friends...? An unusual twist on the concept of zombie games. One that I for one couldn't wait to try out! Join me below to see my thoughts on how this concept played out in the early access demo. Gameplay As with most RTS base builders, players must manage resources and workers as well as survive enemy waves whilst building & expanding their base. Resources include food, wood, stone and metal - all the usual things we've come to expect fro...

Distant Worlds 2 – PC Review

Distant Worlds 2 released on PC on March 10th. This is the second game in the 4x space strategy series by Code Force (Distant Worlds: Universe) with publishing by Slitherine Ltd. (Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, Command). It is only available via Steam for Windows PC. Options as Vast as Space in Distant Worlds 2 The 4x strategy genre has not had a huge role in my time as a gamer. Though my Steam library is full of them with the likes of Stellaris, Endless Legend and Endless Space 2, and Civilization VI and Civilization: Beyond Earth; my cumulative time is probably less than five hours. Distant Worlds 2 stood out to me as an alternative to Stellaris so I thought I would take a look. Have you ever had a similar experience where something you usually don't play catches your eye? Let me know ...

Tour de France 22 – PC Review

Race to the Champs Elysees! Now I admit there is only so much you can do with a sports simulation game, as the actual sport doesn't change that much, it's either race to the finish or score more goals than the other team. However where other sports sims have improved have been the graphics and audio, the last few additions of this game have been a copy and paste job of the previous edition so let's dive into the game to find out if it is or not! Gameplay As you woul...

Barn Finders – PS4 Review

Barn Finders is the latest game from developer & publisher Duality Games (Unholy). It is a first-person Simulation video game set in Ameryka, a fictionalised version of the USA. Travelling all over, the aim is to strike gold in finding various valuable items for clients and hopefully sell the rest for a profit. The title refers to the protagonist's pawn shop and home. The game was made possible after a very successful Kickstarter campaign, making more than double its target. I found Barn Finders to be an interesting blend of games like House Flipper and reality TV like Storage Wars. Already released on PC & VR in 2020, Barn Finders is now available on Playstation, Xbox and Switch consoles. Barn Finders - a diamond in the rough or plain old junk? There is a reason that ente...
