Starship Troopers: Extermination is dam good time.
Would you like to know more?

In the last few months, I’ve not really played many FPS games. This is mostly down to the fact that the ones I usually play are pretty intense and very competitive. Plucking up the energy to even think about playing some of them has been too much. Something a little more casual and chilled is…

Want a weird and wonderful Point & Click game? The Case of the Golden Idol is the one for you.

Step into the fancy buckled shoes of an 18th Century detective to try and unravel a 40-year-long mystery. 12 cases, one potentially magical object, rumours of a cult, and one aristocratic family at the centre of it all? Sounds like a recipe for a wonderfully weird point-and-click adventure. The Case...

Looking for a fun point-and-click adventure with great folklore. The Excavation of Hobbs Barrow has you covered.

I love a good Folklore tale it’s why I’ve listened to so many episodes of Loremen and Lore podcasts. When I heard about the Excavation of Hobbs Barrow, a point-and-click adventure where you investigate an ancient burial barrow in a small, sheltered, suspicious of outsiders type of town out on th...

Some more amazing looking Indie Games for you to check out!

I am once again asking you to take a look at some great Indie Games. There is no doubt that Steam’s Next Fest events are the best way to check out new and upcoming Indie Games. With hundreds to choose from and try every time, it can be hard to find the ‘best’. However, I’m…

Some good games were shown at the Summer Game Fest last night. Here are a few picks.

Last night was the Summer Game Fest opener (still lots more to come over the weekend). During the show, hosted by Geoff Keighley we got to see a number of new games and some trailers for other games we knew were already in the pipeline. I’ve picked out a few favourites that I can’t wait…

Ever wanted to try Tarkov, but put off by the learning curve? These games are a little easier to get in to.

With well over 1000 hours in Escape from Tarkov, it’s safe to say I’m a big fan of the game and the genre it has helped popularise. Many see Tarkov as a Battle Royale like PUBG or a survival game like DayZ. However, the truth is somewhere in between. Much like how Dark Souls has…

This headset is *chef's kiss*.
https://geeksleeprinserepeat.com/2022/02/15/beyerdynamic-tygr-300-r-review/

After having two Corsair headsets eventually break on me – admittedly after a lot of use and some drops, I’m partially to blame. I thought it was time to try something a little different. With some internet sleuthing of recommendations and headphones in my price range, I settled on the Beyerdyna...

Vampire Survivors is the best £2 you'll spend.

Saturday night our group WhatsApp received a message it read “Guys, Vampires Survivors, goty”. At this point, I had no idea what Vampire Survivors was and had assumed this may be a joke about a terrible game. How wrong I was. Another Roguelike? Roguelikes have been a hot commodity for a while. T...

It's been a great change of pace casually jumping back into New World

Almost 4 months after launch and after a little break. New World seems to have settled into a role of being a cosy little getaway game for me. Wandering around the luscious vistas of Aeternum picking up odd jobs here and there. Whilst also doing some mining, gathering, crafting, etc… Has become a ...

G**O is a punishing co-op shooter that drips with atmosphere and intrigue.

We’re on an express elevator to hell, going down. Aliens character Hudson summarises many of my feelings when playing G**O. Panic, fear, paranoia, and losing the will to keep fighting. These are all things I’ve felt with every drop down into the mysterious complex. G**O is punishing and scary, b...

Some excellent-looking Indie Games coming out this year!

A new year is here and as I look back at similar posts for games that were meant to release in 2021 I can’t help but wonder how many of these games will come out this year. I’m sure some will miss 2022, but I’m hopeful that they won’t. Anyway, let’s take a look at…

2021 has been the year dominated by amazing indie games.

Going back to DayZ has been so much fun

DayZ was the game that really got me in PC gaming. DayZ was the game to bring the survival genre to life and over the next 8-9 years, many challengers would come and go. But none have quite captured the essence of DayZ. A new wave The standalone version was released in 2013 and at…

WW3 has a real opportunity to swoop in on Battlefield's territory.

With Battlefield 2042’s launch floundering, to say the least, there could be a golden opportunity for a long-forgotten game to swoop in and take the plaudits. World War 3 was originally released in late 2018 at that point there were issues with the game. Most of them were performance and bug-relat...

Battlefield 2042 hasn't had a great weekend.

After hearing and seeing what the beta for Battlefield was like, I was expecting some jank when I finally got hands-on. But there are more issues than just poor optimisation and bugs with Battlefield 2042. The game is currently in a really weird state and I’m not sure it knows what it’s trying t...

Book of Travels is beautiful, engaging, and intruiging. But it won't be for everyone.

Whilst Steam may tell you that Book of Travels is an MMO. It tows a closer line to a single-player RPG adventure. That just so happens to have other players in your game. Book of Travels is unlike any game you’ve likely played before. This is an adventure into the unknown full of mystery, subtlety...

It may be unfinished, but Baldur's Gate 3 is one of the best games I've ever played.

Perhaps a bold statement for a game that is still in development, far from complete, and fairly full of bugs. However, Baldurs Gate 3 is already one of the best video games I’ve ever played. Releasing into early access around a year ago, I picked up Baldurs Gate 3 and was really impressed with wha...

Steam continues to offer one of the best platforms for discovering new Indie Games. Earlier in the year, we had the Steam Game Festival giving people the opportunity to try out hundreds of Indie Games. Similarly, the Next Fest has just wrapped up. Once again, hundreds of demos for new Indie Games we...
