Farming Simulator 19 Platinum Edition Review – A Touch of CLAAS

Everyone loves a good sim game providing they have a lot of time to sit around and play them. A game with a long term objective that allows you to build up from nothing is perfect for those lazy days or even to take up the time while you are recovering from an illness. Although originally released on PS4 back in November last year, Farming Simulator 19 from devs GIANTS Software can now be bought with an extra 35 new vehicles and tools from the manufacturer CLAAS in the new Platinum Edition which is available now. Gameplay Farming Simulator games can be a bit like marmite, you either love them or hate them. Personally I do enjoy the thrill of jumping in a tractor and carrying out farming tasks however this is mainly due to me being surrounded by both agricultural and pastoral farml...

Community Inc Review – Community is Key

Developed by T4 Interactive and published by tinyBuild Games, Community Inc. is a cute game about building villages and crafting items to trade to other villages. It is available on Steam and the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch. This isn't the type of game I usually seek out to play, so when it came across my desk to take a look at, I had no idea what I was in for. tinyBuild Games has published some very nice titles in the past, so we should get off our butts and see what T4 Interactive has made with Community Inc. Gameplay In Community Inc., you play as the manager of a small community of beings called Lings. As a manager, your job is to hire Lings and give them jobs.

Fishing Sim World: Pro Tour Review

I’ll start by saying I’m no Fisherman! I haven’t cast a rod in over 20 years, However, I do love my simulation games and the idea of sitting down to an afternoon of fishing with a few beers sounded great. Will I net a Big Catch? Or Just drown some worms? Let’s see… Fishing Sim World launched in September of 2018, Developed and published by Dovetail Games and has seen multiple updates, extra lakes and DLC packs.

Megaquarium Review – Mega Fishy Fun

Swimming into gaming stores across all consoles on the 18th October is Megaquarium from developers Twice Circled, the creator of the wonder drug tycoon game Big Pharma. If you are a huge fan of economic simulation games and also want to play something a little different, this brand new little gem may be just what you are looking for. Gameplay I love tycoon games. There is something rewarding in trying to figure out the correct strategy for a particular situation and then either seeing it come to fruition or cause a catastrophic event further down the line. Since the early days of games like Theme Hospital, Theme Park, Sim Tower and Holiday Island I have been hooked. To be given Megaquarium to review was mixed emotions for me, yes I love tycoon style games however I am probably th...

PC Building Simulator PS4 Review – PC’s for Dummies?

PC Building Simulator is the latest release from Claudiu Kiss & The Irregular Corporation and is the newest of the ‘Sim’ style games to make its way to the PS4 after Car Mechanic Simulator came out in June. At first glance, I was a little confused why a PC Building Sim would come to PS4, as it just feels like something PC gamers would be the market aim for such a title. I briefly had a try of the PC release that came out last year and had a bit of fun so I’m hoping the PS4 version doesn’t reduce the spec on me (or if so, then not by too much). Gameplay As the title suggests, the main aim here is to build and repair PCs. You have taken over a PC repair shop from your Uncle who has moved on to bigger and better things (or at least ‘things’ somewhere else). Customers will email th...

Pro Cycling Manager 2019 PC Review – Tour de France or Tour De Farce

Pro Cycling Manager 2019 Season is Developed by Cyanide Studio and published by Bigben Interactive and is you've guessed correctly, its a cycling management game which was released on PC on the 27th June. Gameplay When starting a new career game, you have the choice of managing a whole team or just a rider which you can create. Picking a team to manage allows you to choose from a selection of teams of varying skill/difficulty. Choosing to manage a rider allows you to create a rider, albeit, with a limited amount of customisation, you can adjust their level of skill and specialisation as well as their overall potential over their career. After setting up either, you’re faced with a lot of menus. For a new player, I would say this would be potentially overwhelming. There is pretty...
