Wreckfest PS5 Review

From Finnish developer Bugbear Entertainment comes Wreckfest, a racing and vehicular combat game published by THQ Nordic. Bugbear are no strangers to racing and demolition derby games, previously making the Flatout Series. In fact, I learned that the genre is becoming somewhat of a speciality of theirs, which initially grabbed my attention about Wreckfest. Taking this experience, Bugbear has made a game I can best describe as if Gran Turismo and Burnout had a baby and this was the result. Bugbear struck gold upon releasing the game in early access after an unsuccessful Kickstarter. As a result, the following few years allowed them to reach their goals and release the full game on PC and then on consoles. Wreckfest is available now on X-Box & Playstation as well as Windows.

Developed by Facepunch Studios. Rust is an open-world online multiplayer survival game. First released in February 2018 for PC and then in May 2021 for Playstation and Xbox. Up to 100 players compete on a random map to survive by any means necessary in a post-apocalyptic world. So let us see what there is to offer in this Rust review. Rust - Rust or Bust. Just going to say straight away and say that I am not the biggest fan when it comes to these types of games but playing Rust on PC is a great experience to have with friends and a lot of fun. So surely the console version can be the same right? Well, let's find out. As usual, if you enjoyed this review then why not check out my previous one here.

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries – Heroes of the Inner Sphere PC Review

A little over a year ago, Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries released as an Epic Store Exclusive game. Developed by Piranha Games Inc., and published by Sold Out Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is no longer Epic Exclusive and is now also available on Steam, GOG, and Xbox. I wrote a review on Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries previously, You can find it here. Set in the distant future, the year 3015, humans have colonized thousands of planets across what is known as the Inner Sphere. War rages for control of these systems from the great houses leftover after the succession wars. Battlefields are dominated by enormous bipedal tanks called Battlemechs. The pilots of these Battlemechs are known as Mechwarriors, and they fight for glory, money, revenge, and honor. Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries - Heroes of the Inn...

Castle Flipper Review

Welcome to my review of Castle Flipper which is brought to us by developers Pyramid Games and publishers Ultimate Games. Castle Flipper is a medieval castle renovation game with similar traits to House Flipper. You can buy Castle Flipper now on Steam. Castle Flipper - Build Your Legacy, One Block At A Time! So I've mentioned the obvious game there. However, this is not House Flipper and it certainly has a lot of differences. Let us know in the comments if you've played Castle Flipper, check out my previous review here. Gameplay We start Castle Flipper with a basic tutorial that shows us how to use our arsenal of tools and how we go about cleaning up. The controls are relatively simple in Castle Flipper, nothing too stressful here. No complicated key bindings or a difficult UI to naviga...

PowerWash Simulator Early Access

Futurlab has officially released the latest title they have developed and published into early access. It is a title that we have seen all over the gaming channels on social media. It also looks like one of the most satisfying simulators to this day. We are indeed talking about PowerWash Simulator! At only £15.99 (at the time of writing) on the Steam store, I am excited to jump in and do some cleaning. A sentence which I have never said before. The escape from cleaning, where you... clean? Simulator games for me can sometimes be extremely boring. On the other hand, they can sometimes be the most ridiculous addictive game since some of the old school MMO titles. However, PowerWash Simulator on the cover is essentially a cleaning simulator? Which is one of the household task which can be e...

Poker Club Playstation 4 Review

Once upon a time, I considered myself to have the best poker face in all the land. I was that confident in my playing that when I was a bit short on cash for the month, I would organise a game with an ex-girlfriend's family. I did this knowing full-well they just weren't very good at the game and we would fleece them every time. Also, playing poker until 4am after hours in the pub I used to run, these were good times, but they were a very long time ago. The less said about that poker club, the better! The only time I have played poker since has been in the form of mini-games in games such as Yakuza and Red Dead Redemption. So it's fair to say that my experience since has been a bit lacking, that's why I was keen to see what Poker Club had to offer. Poker Club - Is It A Flop Or A Ro...
