Whateverland Review

Whateverland is a point and click adventure inspired by classics of the golden era. Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, and others from the unforgettable LucasFilm and Sierra studios will come to mind by those who dare to play Vincent’s bizarre trip into the weird limbo-like prison known as Whateverland.

Broken Pieces Review

Sometimes the greatest hits come from the most unsuspecting of places. Such is the case with Broken Pieces, the work of a new studio comprised of five people with the ambition and skill to pull it off. Elseware Experience created an engrossing adventure that is sure to please fans of Silent Hill and similar supernatural thrillers, delving into a mystery that is much bigger than the quaint French coastal village where the events take place. There’s even a shady cult thrown in for good measure, so you surely know that something bizarre is going on.Alone in the DarkElise and her fiancée

The Mortuary Assistant Review

What is the first thing that comes into mind when you hear the word horror? Is it fear or excitement? Do you imagine monsters, ghost or demons? What about when you think about a morgue? Can you bring yourself to work with the dead or do you get squeamish?Well, let me tell you that the new horror game created by solo dev company, DarkStone Digital, and published by DreadXP, sets us up for some amazingly good scares. Before even beginning, we receive a warning about it being based on actual events which immediately changes the whole ambience and feel of the

Slime Rancher 2 Review

Some games should come with a diabetes warning sign. Slime Rancher 2 perfectly fits the bill as it delivers a cuteness overload masquerading as a relaxing gameplay experience, when in fact there is so much going on, that getting your nerves wrecked in no time is also a possibility. Slimes, it seems, are an unruly bunch, and while they attempt to leave you in awe with their lovely sounds and adorable expressions, chickens will be devoured, and tarr slimes will swallow regular slimes whole. It’s a dog-eat-dog world but with slimes in this delightful mix of first-person shooter and farming simulator.Way

Trail Out Review

If FlatOut and Destruction Derby had a baby, it would be the gorgeous but badly behaved Trail Out. The new game from developer Good Boys is the stuff that homages are made of; here’s a true arcade racing experience where physics come first, backed up by a terrific dose of mayhem, and sprinkled with a cheesy storyline. These ingredients are almost flawlessly mixed into one of my favorite racing games of recent years, a spectacle that is as enjoyable to play as it is to watch, a rare feat for any game.Grand Trail AutoFirst, some context to Trail Out and the

The Tarnishing of Juxtia Review

With The Tarnishing of Juxtia, developer Actual Nerds and publisher Mastiff aim to deliver the definitive Dark Souls of 2D platformers, a Metroidvania that will test both your skills and nerves. It’s a hauntingly beautiful pixel-art platformer where each fight is a challenge, each enemy a potential nemesis that requires careful planning and impeccable timing to eliminate. Sadly, its great ambitions fall short due to a flaw that makes it all a tad too frustrating.Darkest SoulsThe story touches upon the traditional grim tale of a corrupting evil force and how you must help a Goddess battle this Tarnishing. Although there are

Sanctions on Russian OP Accounts

Due to the ongoing level of fraud, account hijacking, point farming, multi-accounting and abuse of exploits with our website and content, we have sadly decided to close the door to new and existing users from the Russian Federation.During the conflict in Ukraine (which we personally and professionally stand strongly against), we had considered early on whether to put sanctions on Russian customers, ultimately we decided not to do this as we didn't feel comfortable putting restrictions on innocent, legitimate and anti-war residents that have been customers with us for many years, we were one of very few European companies who decided

Hell Pie Review

Hell hath no fury like Satan with a craving for birthday pie. Such is the premise for new platformer Hell Pie from developer Sluggerfly. This is the perfect time to warn everyone that despite its occasionally harmless cartoon appearance, Hell Pie includes violence, gore, wiggling devil Chef butts, unicorn sacrifices, and the worst of them all… bland Hawaiian t-shirts.It’s great then that this is a superb throwback to 3D action platformers of old, specifically those with a duo of heroes taking on the world, such as Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and the like. Hell Pie brings challenging, diverse, and

South of the Circle Review

South of the Circle is the perfect reason for another heated but healthy games versus movies debate. It’s a gripping adventure with some tremendous storytelling that flawlessly uses clever gaming devices to create a fantastic experience, one that no movie or book would ever be capable of; supported by fine performances from a group of renowned actors and quality motion capture, this is a game… no, scratch that, an experience that fans ought not miss.Love and (Cold) WarThe adventure starts with a dramatic event as Peter, a Cambridge academic and main character crashes down in Antarctica during the 1960's Cold War.
