Train Simulator 2022 Review

Train Simulator 2022 from Dovetail Games is the latest release of a series that can trace its roots back to 2009. I'm a newcomer to the train simulator genre, and my rail experiences have been limited to early morning, crowded standing room only journeys into work. I've been looking forward to reviewing this game to experience the ins and outs of train driving. So, take the only guaranteed seat on the train and enjoy my Train Simulator 2022 review. Train Simulator 2022 - I Think I Can, I Think I Can Now, first things first. Train Simulator 2022 isn't a game. It's a detailed train driving simulation and a hobby that, if it grabs you, could keep you entertained for years. Imagine a world-spanning virtual train set. But like that train set you found underneath the tree all those Christmases...

Developed and published by Frontier Games. Jurassic World Evolution 2 is the sequel to the hit smash Jurassic World Evolution. It was released on November 9th on the Playstation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox One Series S/X, and PC. Jurassic World Evolution 2 - Sequels Find A Way For as long as I can remember I have been a fan of building simulator games going all the way back to Sim City on the PC in the early 90s. Playing the first Jurassic World Evolution was an absolute treat. A fantastic game that appeared out of nowhere and took players by surprise. So now we take a look at the Xbox One Series X version of the sequel and see if it holds up as a true successor. As usual, if you enjoyed this review then why not check out my latest one here. You can also catch up with what the rest of the Thu...

Fantasy Town Regional Manager Review

Fantasy Town Regional Manager (FTRM) is a town builder sim developed and published by Caps Collective. Caps Collective are an Australian company with FTRM as their debut game available now on PC. I quickly learned that the title hits the nail on the head as a description. The game begins with you as the unwitting person in charge of building a town on the ruins of the old. Set in a fantasy world, the town and people are plagued by various monsters and potential disasters. As your town expands however you will gather more residents and adventurers to avert these disasters. Each day brings new challenges and so new choices from focussing resources to diplomatic decisions with the goal of literally avoiding ruin. Fantasy Town Regional Manager - If You Build It, They Will Come I was exci...

Monster Harvest Review

Monster Harvest, a pixel art title developed by Maple Powered Games and published by Merge games was released to us in August 2021. The title is available across most platforms and is out now. Is This Just Another Farming Simulator? I am always dubious when it comes to farming simulators, they can sometimes be pretty tedious. However, when they get the storyline right along with some epic gameplay. You can be onto a winner that will keep you entertained for months if not years. Join me below as I check out Monster Harvest. Gameplay Monster Harvest has a storyline that is very similar to other titles alike. A family member reaches out to who you haven't spoken to in a while and of course, he is asking you for a favour. As he has been far too busy to look after his farm due to important ...

Model Builder Preview

Model Builder by developers Moonlit and Kuba Wójcik is, as it sounds, a model building simulator. Everyone at some time in their life has probably built a model, with varying outcomes. Published by Green Man Gaming will this be a tedious affair or a total breeze? Model Builder - 0% Chance of Gluing Fingers Together! I am quietly optimistic, having reviewed Balsa Model Flight Simulator recently. If you like what you read, give the demo a chance over in the Steam store! Gameplay Before I start I will say that there was a disclaimer that it was a game in progress therefore I will concentrate on the main gameplay and only report if there are any game-breaking bugs. From the off, you can select from a campaign and sandbox mode. Sandbox needs no intro therefore it was straight ont...
