Catsperience – Review

Have you ever wondered why cats like to punt any breakable object off any available surface and watch it smash? I’ve always imagined it was something to do with the demonic presence writhing around just behind their eyes, an almost out-of-body experience that allowed the devil to raise their paw

Siege Survival: Gloria Victis – Review

As a game focused wholly on its story, Siege Survival: Gloria Victis is very invested in its character development and accuracy in its time and theme.

New Pokémon Snap – Review

It has officially been over two decades of speculation, outlandish ideas, and doubt on the future of the Pokémon Snap legacy. I thought it was a fever dream when they released the trailer last year, but four generations of Nintendo consoles later, a new entry is finally here! Developed by

Size Matters – Review

This is it, my friends. Definitive proof that, despite what many of my partners have tried to reassure me, size really does matter. At least it certainly does when you’re a rapidly shrinking scientist doing your best to concoct a cure! Brought to us by the developers at Mazen Games,

MotoGP 21 (Xbox Series X) – Review

There are a few things in this world that will remain constant; death, taxes, and yearly installments of sports genre games. While I agree that MotoGP 21 is a racing sim, the sport itself has been thoroughly explored in the latest edition of the long-running franchise. From the three-tiered campaign

Trader Life Simulator – Review

Designed and published by Mohammed Qasrawi, and released on the 22nd February 2021 there is a lot this game needs to work on in terms of a proper tutorial, and almost nothing to guide you in this “ascend-to-the-top-like” trading game. However, let’s get into the finer details. You wake up,

Table Tennis Pro – Review

Some people love table tennis. They live for the game and put their blood, sweat, and tears into it. Others think table tennis is incredibly boring, much like soccer. Or tennis. Or watching paint dry. I am neither of them. I am a gamer. So when I started playing Table

Loop Hero – Review

Since last visiting Loop Hero in preview, I can safely say there aren’t any major updates to their addictive strategy game other than the obvious extra end game content. Thank god, as this is one game that I originally enjoyed for the unique plot points for the characters and the

Breathedge – Review

There’s an old saying that goes: “Never judge a book by its cover”. I’m sure you’ve heard that line before, right? If not, it basically means appearances can be deceiving. Well, the cover art for this game is definitely deceiving. You may be hindered by the image of an astronaut
