Dog in the Machine – PC Review

Fly in the ointment, spanner in the works, stick in the mud, thorn in my side, and pain in the ..... We have plenty of phrases that mean something is causing a problem, so one more wont hurt? Dog in the Machine might sound a little specific, but I am sure that it pretty much means the same thing. Have Studio Chahut been good boys, or bad doggies? Dog in the Machine - This Metaphor Just Got Real! I am a dog, I am in a machine; what could possibly go wrong? More to the point, why am I in a machine, and how did I get there? One thing is for certain, I plan to Winalot and make this pedigree my chum. (Other dog food brands are available) Gameplay If you have looked at the any of the pictures then Dog in the Machine is pretty self explanitory. You play the part of Rover/Rex/Fido, a mech...

Angels Fall First – PC Review

Angels Fall First is a tactical FPS with space, vehicle, and ground combat. Strangely Interactive has been developing the game for over 10 years, built upon a sci-fi universe that started as a simple mod. If you are looking for a new tactical sci-fi FPS that is overflowing with opportunity for an in-depth experience, this may be what you're looking for. It is only available on PC via Steam. Familiar, Yet Not Really I hadn't heard of Angels Fall First until it popped up as a recommended game on Steam right around the time of its 1.0 release. At a glance and the brief description I had read, I was expecting more of a sandbox style of game. Instead what I found upon loading up was a very intricately detailed tactical FPS that reminded me of late nights playing coordinated operations in Plan...

Esports Manager 2026 – PC Review

Ever dreamed about owning an Esports team, making all the calls, hiring, firing, negotiating deals and planning tactics? Then you might be in a niche market, but not to worry because Neurona Games have got you covered as much as you need to protect those bases. Will Esports Manager 2026 live up to those dreams or glory, or is it just a ticking time-bomb of debris about to be scattered all over the map. Is it the bomb, or will it just bomb When it comes to Esports, my knowledge is very limited. What do I know? Teams pitch against each other playing both attackers and defenders. Spend money between rounds for better equipment. High numbers of rounds will be played. Most of that was guesswork if I am honest. So what am I going to know about running an Esports team, or more to the point, wha...

Cheap Car Repair – PC Review

Cheap Car Repair is…a car repair sim. I know, I'm as shocked as you are. Developed by Little Dog Games and published by Simplicity Games and PlayWay S.A., the game was released on Steam on May 28th. Just Slap Some Paint On It When I first saw this game get announced way back in the day, I was really excited to try it out! I love car repair sims! (Even though I never even got my license, and I don't care about IRL cars whatsoever). Was the wait worth it? Eh. Let's see. Gameplay In Cheap Car Repair, you run your very own car repair shop in a small Polish village…but you are completely broke, so you gotta improvise! Cut corners, steal parts and try not to get caught. Bootleg repairs are the main feature in the game, like swapping windshield fluid for dish soap, mixing water into ga...

It combines hero exploration, kingdom management, and tactical battles in the magical world of Enroth. It's out now in Early Access on Steam, so let's check it out. Lo, The Heroes of Yore Returneth After years of decline and neglect under Ubisoft, the long-running Heroes of Might and Magic series is making a comeback for its 30th anniversary.

Developers Unfrozen have done a fantastic job at recreating the old-school, turn-based, hexagon-layered fantasy...

Rune Dice PC Review

Rune Dice is a Strategy RPG from the minds at Smart Raven Studio. With publishing assistance from Kwalee. Rune Dice is honestly a very unique concept when working with dice and combat. And the interesting conditions to be met when unlocking characters had me playing for hours on end. Now, let's legally grab our dice and get ready to roll for this review! Remember, explosive dice are your best friend, but RNG....it's getting personal! Gameplay The gameplay for Rune Dice is honestly a game of pool minus the pockets and with almost the same amount of planning. I swear the game had me questioning sending the die to a wall to do a trick shot. Which was necessary to fully understand to perform the needed 40 combo dice to unlock the Archer. Sure, you need the aim to properly get this combo t...

NITRO GEN OMEGA – PS5 Review

Giant mechs will always have a place in my heart. No matter the medium, mechs are inherently cool. That's why I was very excited to get my hands on NITRO GEN OMEGA. This slick, anime-inspired title has you take control of your own customisable crew of mech pilots in a post-apocalyptic world. Developed by DESTINYbit, this stylish tactical RPG looks like it could be something special. Is that the case, though? It certainly looks the part, but is there enough substance here to match the impressive visuals? NITRO GEN OMEGA is out right now, and is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. NITRO GEN OMEGA: Style and Substance! AI has overrun the world. Humanity is barely surviving. Sounds eerily familiar so far... Survivors ...

Kazuma Kaneko’s Tsukuyomi Switch Review

Kazuma Kaneko's Tsukuyomi is a Rouge-like, Tabletop, RPG from COLOPL Inc. A revised version of Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter that was released on May 6th 2025. Updating a few bit from the original from a larger story, one new character, a better interface and fixing the card effects in battles. For some, people who came to play this game because Kazuma Kaneko's name is on the game. Which for those who don't know, he's the original artist for the demons in the Megami Tensei series. But let's get to the bottom of this case. However, don't be surprised when we get to discussing the art portion of the review. Slaying the Spire II has prepared me for this game a bit too much. What does it mean to be a Tsukuyomi We start off playing as Tsukuyomi of Izayoi appearing in the Hashira. This co...

Sintopia – PC Review

A new management sim hits the Steam store, and this time we will be punishing the damned in Sintopia. Where we take the role of overlooking the hellish realm for the big man himself. The game is out now on Steam for £29.99, with also a Deluxe Edition, that nets you the soundtrack and art book. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Gameplay Sintopia splits has the player watching over two domains, the Overworld where the denizens called Humus live. And the Underworld, where you will punish - or, well, reform them - into better people. There is a story mode that will take you step by step on how to build an efficient hell. Players will get buildings that aid in dealing with one of the seven deadly sins. Most of your efficiency will be based on the roads and paths you create, since si...
