Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus have been some go-to cozy gaming of mine for the past couple of years. Harking back to Theme Hospital back on the PC, where I also spent waaay too much time playing, the series has been a comfort food sort of gaming experience for me since then. A brilliant mix of humour, simulation, and fun make it a good time had by all. Now Two Point Studios introduces its latest DLC ...
When America needs to dole out some democracy, there’s only one gang of soldiers brave enough to answer the call: the Broforce. Made up of familiar (but not too familiar) faces from favourite action films and TV series of the 80s and 90s, you get to chew gum and kick ass through dozens of hilariously funny levels. And while the original game came out in 2015, Broforce Forever – the final update ...

Bramble: The Mountain King first got my attention after seeing a few TikToks highlighting some of the gameplay. To me it looked like a blend of Little Nightmares mixed with fairytale like story building. Once it hit consoles and was available to play on Game Pass I figured it was time to check it out. What I experienced went from a heartwarming and quirky fairytale and turned into a dark, macabre, and ...
Video games tend not to be simple stories of home life. Guys with guns sell so much better. But unlike film and television, where there’s a healthy market for things that escue the blockbuster, in gaming not so much. Even without the giant budgets, indie games usually follow the same rules of killing, competition, sex and violence as their bigger, more expensive brothers. That’s what makes titles ...

APICO combines resource gathering, biology, and minigames with ideas from both real-life and fantasy beekeeping and gardening, as it teaches players about the ins-and-outs of maintaining a healthy hive and the importance of ...
When I first saw Crime Boss featured in a trailer, I was very excited. Seemed like something akin to Saints Row which is a series I have really enjoyed over the years. It looked like a 90’s version of the Mafia games with a star-studded cast (more on that later). All the marketing leading up to the games release looked like a chaotic shooter gang war. The issue is what was released was nothing like the ...
Greyhill Incident was instantly on my radar from the first time I saw it. It’s pretty public knowledge at this point that I am a sucker for a good horror game, and honestly, the whole alien aspect hasn’t been done that often, and definitely not like this. It’s the early 90s in the US, the media talks about weather balloons and conspiracy theories. But residents of the small neighborhood soon ...
When Lord of the Rings: Gollum was first announced… I had thoughts. Number one was, who asked for this? But Number two was, this actually looks kinda neat, maybe it will surprise me. Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War were decent games, perhaps this isn’t completely crazy. Well as the game officially came close to release and folks got there hands on the game (without the marketing spin), they were ...
So I was given an opportunity to get my hands on Everdream Valley a little early ahead of it’s May 30th release date. Now I have been a fan of games like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons and such, so it’s hard to find something new and exciting on the farming adventure kind of games with all of the competition. We do get quite alot of them honestly, but very few to the quality of the ...
So, we all know I have a bit of a reputation here at GamesReviews. I’ve mowed lawns, I’ve built PCs, I’ve flipped homes, I’ve power washed stuff, I’ve run gas stations….so what on earth could possibly be next for me? How about fish tanks?!? Aquarist is an aquarium building simulator much like PC building Simulator. The game starts with you on your birthday, and you are given ...

I’m a sucker for the old school FMV games. Playing them on my PC in the mid-late 90s and occasionally we get some on consoles now. The latest of which being Mia and the Dragon Princess, which don’t let the name fool you, the game is full of greatly coordinated fights, explosions, and action. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Mia dreams of adventure, but her feeling of responsibility to her ...

Ghostwire: Tokyo became almost more noteworthy for where it was than what it was. The last PlayStation exclusive from Xbox following the Bethesda deal, it seems to have came and went. That is a real shame. Now, a year on, Xbox can finally release Ghostwire: Tokyo on their own platforms, including Game Pass. Is it worth the leap in? A mix of Ubisoft’s blend of exploration with a heavy dose of Japanese ...
With a franchise series like Digimon, there has always been a feverish fan base that loved the series and scoffed in the face of Pokémon. Well all these years later we know which series ended up on top. But despite all that Digimon games do still occasionally come out.

Like a Dragon (formerly known as Yakuza) can be a tough series to get into, with many installments in the series it can be confusing on where the best place is to jump in. It also can be a little too off the wall for some people, with the random karaoke breaks and off the wall narratives. Like a Dragon Ishin! However, is a very different kind of game, while yes it has the same characters known throughout the ...
Scars Above honestly wasn’t even on my radar until the opportunity to review the game became available to me. After watching a trailer for it I was certainly intrigued. While we have gotten a few games that are similar such as Dead Space Remake and The Callisto Protocol as far as the space disaster exploration games are concerned. What does Scars Above do differently to try to stand out from the competition? To ...

Well, it certainly got everyone’s attention. But behind it all, is it REALLY a great game or was it a benefactor of a see it for the first time and its out now HYPE TRAIN? Let’s peel it back and ...
When the PR firm reached out and asked if I wanted to review Pharaoh: A New Era I brushed it off and kept scrolling. PC games aren’t for me, and I thought I’d come back to it later and get it sent to our PC Editor to review. I actually forgot about it for a few days, but when I circled back and FINALLY opened it up, I then realized this was a remake of my favourite city builder of…

Last year one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences was getting to review Two Point Campus, as a big fan of Two Point Hospital and Theme Hospital before it way back in the day this was a no brainer. The gameplay is fun, relaxing tone, humorous writing, what’s not to love? In fact, you can read my whole review HERE. So obviously when they announced the Space Academy DLC, I was already with my astronaut ...
Survival horror has returned. Resident Evil isn’t a punchline anymore, and there are any number of big and small games for genre fans to sink their teeth into – some of them might even be pretty good. Nightmare of Decay expertly uses this to take us back to a simpler time. It’s first-person, but don’t read too much into that. This is a love letter to the old Resident Evil games, where you ...
Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in a generation. If you’re running faster than the blue blur to tell me that isn’t saying much, congratulations. You win Internet Original of the Day. But believe me when I say this is a new direction for the former console mascot. Do you remember the Saturday morning cartoon Sonic? He could seemingly run on any surface, leaping from one area to another in a ...
