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
Assassin’s Creed Mirage has taken it back to 861CE (Common Era) with a cunning street thief by the name of Basim Ibn Is’Haq on the streets of 9th Century Baghdad, and it’s based nine centuries after the events of Assassin’s Creed Origins, and eleven years before the events of Assassin’s
Turn 10 Studios are back for their eighth installment into the Forza Motorsport series, with the first one being released back in 2005, so this game was eighteen years in the making, and needless to say, the series has come a hell of a long way since its initial release.
The development team, Parallel Studios, and Publisher, Quantic Dream, have brought us this narrative-driven adventure game about how grief can engulf your life. Set in the depths of the North Sea during the 1970s, you are a professional diver by the name of Stan, living with the grief of some
Finally, we come to the conclusion of ‘The Expanse’, a Telltale Series. Is it what we expected or is it something more? The 5th and final episode of The Expanse has finally come to end our space adventure. Beginning straight from where we left off in the previous episode, it
It’s been a while since I last reviewed a game, and with PAX AUS just around the corner, I was reminiscing on time gone by. Last year, as I strolled around the indie developer section waiting for an interview I had booked, I stumbled upon a team excitedly talking about
The publishing and development teams of Night Blood Interactive, Apogee Software, and Nightdive Studios are back with Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition for your Xbox. So, if you are on Team Green and looking for an old-school first-person shooter to scratch that nostalgic itch, they’ve got you covered. As
Publisher 3D Realms is back doing what they do best – first-person shooters. In tandem with developer Slipgate Ironworks, the company that brought us Rise of the Triad 2013, Phantom Fury is in good hands. With both companies not unfamiliar with the genre, I was excited to play the demo
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
When I was working my retail job, one of my favourite computing systems to sell was ASUS. They always seemed to be the more reliable system, and they were typically well-priced for what you were getting. Even their after-sales support was incredible, so I was always happy to direct a
Do you have what it takes to survive a trip to Hell? Developed by Mixed Realms and published by Vertigo Games, the highly anticipated Hellsweeper VR has finally arrived. It’s time to clean house in this first-person action-combat game that will have you descend into the depths of Hell. Traverse
Players will once again take the role of Travis Baker (Michael Madsen) as he sets his eyes on the next big score, but he’s going to need some help along the way. Teaming up with rival gang member, Dollar Dragon (Danny Trejo), this is the first story expansion to the

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a first-person shooter created by Auroch Digital and published by Focus Entertainment, taking a retro-style approach like older games such as DOOM, but it’s set within the Warhammer 40K universe. Fans of old 90s-style shooters will love Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, even if you have no understanding
MKAU Gaming was lucky enough to be invited to a live preview event for EA Sports’ newest title, EA Sports WRC, which is coming to current generation consoles and PC, and from what we could see from the event, we are beyond hyped to sink some time into this one.
Published by Flynns Arcade and developed by Crashable Studios, Sentry City is a cyberpunk-themed, 2D platforming, shoot ’em-up indie game that encourages speedrunning. It was originally released on PC and Android devices in 2022, and it’s now available on Nintendo Switch. The unnamed protagonist must traverse the city, blasting his
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.
Grab your face paint and red noses it is time to visit the circus, if that circus was in the form of a clown having a horrific mental breakdown in a creepy mansion. I know right, sounds like fun. From the twisted minds of Indiesruption and produced by Blowfish, this
It’s time to mask up and land the greatest heist known to man. The Payday series is back with the third installment, PayDay 3, following the gang after the events of PayDay 2, where they thought they could retire rich, happy, and safe, but that is never the case. They

Usually, when I talk about gaming on the go, I’m talking about a gaming laptop. While they’re certainly more portable than a dedicated desktop PC, they’re still not the easiest thing to take out and play, particularly in cramped areas, like on a plane. While not a particularly long flight,
It’s the best time of the school year – field trip time! So get those permission slips signed and travel to the distant lands of Kitakami to embark on a new adventure in the Pokemon Scarlet/Violet franchise. Pokemon Scarlet/Violet: the Teal Mask DLC is part one of The Hidden Treasures

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
I’ve picked up Smurfs Kart again but this time we have put the Nintendo Switch and picked up the Xbox and needless to say I was a little surprised which will be explained more in this review. You can read a more in-depth review >Here<. If you have read that
Having never used a curved monitor before, I was excited to try out the ASRock Phantom Gaming PG34WQ15R2B Curved Gaming Monitor. I must admit it was an unexpected experience, but certainly one I could get used to. ASRock is a Taiwanese company that has been specialising in motherboards since 2002.
