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 ...

Railway Empire Review – I Choo Choo Choose You

Toot toot! For the last few weeks, I have been testing my haulage skills on Gaming Minds Studios and Independent Arts' strategy tycoon game Railway Empire, out on the Nintendo Switch today! With great memories of Transport Tycoon flooding back to me, how was this railway escapade going to play out, especially without a mouse in sight! Gameplay Set in 1830's United States you enter the playing field at one of the most exciting times in Railway history. If you want to earn big then you need to think fast, build intuitively and get those trains on the rails before a rival does. On the face of it, a train tycoon sim may not float your boat as it were but I was pleasantly surprised with how energetic the intro scenes were and also how well the tutorials guided you at the very start....

Doki Doki Literature Club! Review – Don’t judge this book by its cover…

Doki Doki Literature Club! is a 2017 game developed in America by Team Salvato. It’s a free game that acts as a visual novel where certain decisions can be made along the way to change the direction of the narrative. The game involves talking to and getting to know four girls who are active in their high school’s literature club. This game is all about these characters but there is more under the surface and some interesting twists and turns along the way; you’ll certainly start to suspect early on that the happy, colourful anime façade hides a darker secret. It’s important to note at this stage that the game does present you with a disclaimer; “This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed.” This should be your first clue that the pink and purple accented ani...
