Ride 4 – Frustration & Fun On Two Wheels!

Milestone SRL's Ride 4 is out on the 8th October and if you enjoy all things motorbike as well as playing racing sims then this game is for you! Gameplay Ride 4 sees you select from any one of 30 tracks and roads as well as pick out your insanely engineered choice of over 230 licensed two-wheeled rockets to ride on.  For a series that has been going since 2015, there is clearly enough of a fan base to keep on evolving the game, attracting loyal fans and newcomers alike.

Project Cars 3 – Not So SIMple

Project Cars, a name synonymous with simulation racers in the past. However, times are a-changing and with Project Cars 3 we have a bit of a SHIFT in the focus that Slightly Mad Studios brought to the track. This is now, in my opinion, a tremendous arcade-style racing game. Read on to find out more! Gameplay So you picked up Project Cars 3 expecting it to be a pure simulation racer, expecting it to be suited to your steering wheel, expecting a lot! Now I can imagine that you might be disappointed as it is neither a sim racer anymore, nor is it suited to be used on your steering wheel. In my opinion that isn't a bad thing in the slightest, and let me tell you why. Project Cars 3, might be the most fun I have had racing around a track in a long time. There I said it! Whilst most ...

Golftopia – Where To Putt It?

MiniMax Games Ltd released an anticipated title into early access via Steam in July this year. That game is in fact Golftopia. The futuristic golf course simulator game that gets you off the green and gives you an arsenal of tools to create and run your own course. I have to be honest here, personally I am not a fan of golf, but I am a fan of a good simulator game! Keep reading to find out how I got on designing and running my own sci-fi themed course. Gameplay Having played the older SIM Golf game and really enjoying it I was keen to put Golftopia to the test. The thing with SIM games is ultimately they all have the same storyline of a sort. You are a creator/manager of whatever theme the simulator game is related to. This sounds easy, however, so many developers have got this wrong in ...

Demolish & Build – Half Built?

If knocking down buildings and literally starting a construction firm from the ground up is your idea of heaven, you’re going to love Demolish & Build, a console-friendly construction simulator developed by Noble Muffins and published by Ultimate Games. Demolish & Build is available on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch as a console-based update to 2018’s PC version of the game. I jumped into Demolish & Build having never touched a construction sim game before. As a first experience, I have to say I'm kind of on the fence about this game. It ended up leaving me with questions about whether or not dogged perseverance (as is so often required in real-life building) actually translates that well into an enjoyable gaming experience. After a fairly confusing and buggy initial play, ...

Hunting Simulator 2 Review – Hunting High or Hunting Low?

Being a citizen of the United Kingdom I can't say that I have ever gone hunting or know a vast amount about it. I have experienced hunting via the medium of video games mainly via the Far Cry and Red Dead Redemption franchises but that's about it. Full-on hunting games are few and far between and the genre is a very small niche in the overall video game market. Hunting Simulator 2 is the latest entry into this small genre. Developed by Neopica and published by Nacon it is the imaginatively titled sequel to 2017's generally well-received Hunting Simulator.   I am very wary of simulation games these days as often they are only really of interest of the enthusiast. However, I am willing to give anything a go (within reason) and am a sucker for a good sniper rifle (virtually of course). So is ...
