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.

Playable as single player, local co-op, online and remote play together, PlateUp! is acce...

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?

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...
