If you love SnowRunner and MudRunner, you have probably been waiting for Expeditions: A MudRunner Game. This latest title in the franchise takes a sideways step from the normal action. Instead of hauling huge loads across vast landscapes, you must drive across barren environments delivering research equipment. Alternatively, you’ll have to take photos of key areas or explore unusual locations. Either way, it was a pleasant break from the norm and I enjoyed the freedom.

Pyramid Platformer – The Gem Heist is an old-school title that has rudimentary gameplay. Accordingly, it delivers well-trodden mechanics that work, mostly. However, when things go wrong, it can be extremely frustrating. Thankfully, this happens rarely and you enjoy a smooth and interesting trip to Ancient Egypt.

Offroad Truck Simulator: Heavy Duty Challenge is a game filled with bugs and glitches. Furthermore, there are frame rate drops and the performance is woeful at best. However, I can see the potential shining through when things rarely go well. Unfortunately, though, this rough diamond is so rough, that I can’t see it being polished any time soon. The developer has tried to patch the problems, but this creates a whole new list of issues in its wake. As such, this is one title that needs a hell of a lot of work.

A Black Friday guide with some amazing tech.

A fun update to a much-loved game!

Countdown to Chaos is a wonderfully mysterious game that blends modern ideas with old-school reality. The Detective Society create phenomenal experiences, and this standalone detective endeavour is no different! Its nod to the real world and hidden details are a treat to work through. Moreover, I never felt out of my depth though it has some challenging elements.

Save plenty money this Black Friday.

Movie Scene It is a great family-friendly experience that will appeal to film lovers. Moreover, there are some snippets of general knowledge as random questions are thrown into the mix. Though this game has been out for a while and there have been several unique variations, this modern version blends a tactile layer with an intuitive app. Accordingly, this creates a seamless game and hours of fun.

Christmas is a time for family and friends. However, it is also a time for gaming! There are some amazing titles available this Christmas and I know this guide will highlight some things that may have slipped your radar.

Rogue Flight is a gloriously old-school title that reinvents the space shooter genre! This incredible game caught my eye at EGX 2024. Its fast-paced nature and wonderful retro aesthetic were pleasing and instantly captivating. However, it was the slick gameplay and brilliant anime edge that won me over. I’ve always enjoyed linear space shooters and this didn’t disappoint. There are various upgrades to unlock and plenty of game modes to complete. Accordingly, this has plenty of replay value and mountains of depth.
