Reviews

Shogun Showdown Review

Shogun Showdown is a very cool and addictive turn-based combat game that will test your tactical prowess.

SokoPenguin Review

SokoPenguin is a cute puzzler that suffers due to an emphasis on quantity over quality.

Sokolab Review

Sokolab manages to conjure up puzzles that are of a high quality, something rarely seen in the realm of Sokoban-style offerings.

Yars Rising Review

Yars Rising takes the fundamentals of Yars’ Revenge and applies a lengthy metroidvania experience on top of it, creating a surprisingly fun game.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Review

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a solid and enjoyable blast-a-thon with a good story to go along with the gory action.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Review 

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown lets you explore a brilliant Hong Kong Island, partaking in some great racing as you go.

Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland Review

It’s been more than 25 years since one of the first Rugrats games released in the form of Rugrats: Search for Reptar. Unfortunately, Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland feels like a massive step backwards from that game.

Tiebreak Review

Even though the gameplay of Tiebreak feels predictable after a while, any fan of the sport should find a great time taking to this court, relishing what is on offer.

Star Trucker Review

You should well love Star Trucker and the opportunities it brings as you spend hours touring the galaxy.

112 Operator Review

As far as taking charge of the emergency services goes, 112 Operator is surely the best way of stepping into the role. It may not be the most stimulating game for the senses, but there’s something undeniably enjoyable about crisis management. 

Billy’s Game Show Review

Billy’s Game Show may be short but it is full of frustrations and lacking any real scares.

TENSEI Review

TENSEI is a game that you can dip in and out of at will, perhaps for just five minutes at a time, climbing higher with every effort.

Aery – Ancient Empires Review

No matter whether you have played an Aery game before or not, you’ll find some enjoyment in Aery - Ancient Empires.

Purrfect Rescue Review

It may be cheap, but you’ll be best off skipping Purrfect Rescue and hoping that the other series continues to lead the genre. 

3XTINCTION Review

3XTINCTION comes together really well. The blasting action on offer is simple but effective, and while a sense of deja vu will set in, play with friends and you’ll discover a lot of fun can be had.  

Thief Simulator 2 Review

Thief Simulator 2 may take you by surprise. The gameplay premise and thieving mechanic are good and a lot of fun.

UGREEN Nexode Power Bank 20000mAh 130W and 12000mAH 100W Review

You won’t go wrong with the UGREEN Nexode Power Banks, no matter whether you get the 12000mAh 100W option or that of 20000mAh 130W.
