Vampire Hunters 1.0 Release – PC Review

Vampire Hunters is a roguelite, 3D survivors fps by Gamecraft Studios (For Sparta, Rogue Summoner). It rolled out of early access and into a full 1.0 release on October 30th. The game is available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One/X|S. Like Some Version of DOOM and Vampire Survivors' Lovechild. I'm no stranger to the FPS or Survivors genres. The latter has more recently become a popular form of entertainment for me on the go. With titles like Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor being easy to pick up and play. It looks like Vampire Hunters is trying to give that survivors aspect a different perspective. Any crossover games that come to mind of similar type? Let me know what I should be checking out after my thoughts on the game belo...

Hallows Hill: The Online Escape Room Experience – PC Review

Recently, the TC gang received a strange email, inviting us to assemble and go to Hallows Hill. Intrigued, we rallied our toughest members and ventured across the digital world to this spooky abandoned house. Hallows Hill is no ordinary game. Requiring a mere web browser and the technical capability to be able to share your screen with your team of up to 6, you are good to go. Immersive Team-Based Horror Fun! The developers, Wolf Escape Games, have a couple of escape games under their belt. How would we find our foray into Hallows Hill? More importantly, would we all survive? Gameplay I must say, I haven't played a game like this yet. Yes, I have taken part in actual escape rooms and have been intrigued by the puzzles, both physical and mental. But how would they transfer into a...

Puppet House – PC Review

Enter the home of a ventriloquist whose puppet kills any who dare enter. Well, after a few people disappear, I thought I’d take it upon myself to investigate. Puppet House is a new escape room horror made by Vecube Studio and Spirit Games Studio. Recently, it came out on Steam for £13.99. Who's really pulling the strings? We play Rick Evans, a detective investigating the Hills House after hearing people go missing. Once we arrive at the house, Rick oddly gets knocked out while attempting to enter the premises. This begins what seems to be the start of one hell of a night in the Puppet House. Gameplay There isn’t any combat, apart from some QTE (Quick-Time-Events) happening at scripted points. However, for an escape room game, the key is the puzzles. There are a good amount of the...

Citadelum – PC Review

City-building games have long held a special place in the hearts of strategy fans. Citadelum (developed by Abylight Barcelona and published by Abylight Studios) is the latest. Set against the backdrop of Roman civilisation, the game introduces divine intervention as a core mechanic, adding an intriguing layer of depth to traditional city-building and strategic expansion. But how does it compare to genre classics such as Caesar, Pharaoh, and Zeus: Master of Olympus? Let’s delve into the world of Citadelum to find out. Citadelum more like Citadel umm. While it was exciting to see Citadelum adding gods, reminiscent of Zeus: Master of Olympus, it was disappointing that the gods don’t walk around naturally unless you actively anger or please them. It’s also a shame there are no roaming heroes...
