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...
