We all love a good single-player, retro, first-person shooter. Ones that will throw back to the times of the likes of ‘Doom’ or ‘Quake’, you know, the classics. Well, the people at Crest Helm Studios have brought us that gritty and dark atmosphere with such a modern feel to it.
Once again, MKAU Gaming was invited to a hand-off preview of the upcoming sixth season for Battlefield 2042, Dark Creations, hosted by DICE’s Community Manager Tom Straatman. It opens with scenes of a lone soldier answering a radio call as one of his comrades desperately calls for help, and as
After what feels like eons, 2014 to be specific, since their last venture, the devs at Croteam and the gift that keeps on giving, Devolver Digital are returning with a long-awaited sequel to the Talos Principle. Like its predecessor, The Talos Principle 2 is a narrative-based puzzle game that questions
I am not one to play survival games much, and typically need to be in a very specific mood to play them. Those that I have played in the past skew either toward brutally hard or mind-numbingly boring. Developer Muse Games and Publisher Kwalee have brought us ‘Wildmender’, a survival

I can’t say I’ve ever felt compelled to pursue a life of crime, especially not running a massive drug empire, but Cartel Tycoon, by tinyBuild, made this wildly unethical life quite entrancing. The aforementioned title published by MoonMoose released in 2022 and has you overseeing the daily running of your

Hunting Pearl Creek seems like a game that can be fun for those types of players who enjoy playing 2D Platformers, but it doesn’t seem like a game that has much replayability as it’s the exact same 9 levels over and over again. It would be nice to see more levels added to give it more of a variety. The music is difficult to deal with when playing after a long time, however and is quick to be muted. I couldn’t return to Hunting Pearl Creek after finishing it, which is just disappointing.
The music is simple, but after listening for an hour or two, it became too annoying to leave on. The sound effects, however, from its beeping and booping as characters talk, the sound of explosions, and the pew pews from the laser guns, were all great.

I’ll be honest with you all, my dears. I have not stepped back into the gritty underbelly of Night City since ‘CyberPunk 2077’ was released back in 2020 (Cyberpunk 2077 – Review). While this grand-scale adventure RPG had technical issues, I loved that at the heart of it was a
