Well, the PC master race may have got their invite extremely late, but Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II finally arrives on PC in its Remastered form, and it’s nothing short of a triumph. Released on PS4 in 2020 and remastered for PS5 in 2024, this PC version
The game beginning when the story ends is not what one expects when booting up an RPG for the first time. I was face-to-face with the “big bad” of ‘Game Over – A Musical RPG?’ within moments of loading into its pixelated fantasy world. Aussie dev, Jake Houston, produced a
In today’s modern-day gaming world, it’s almost a part of the course to try and revitalise or cash in on nostalgia by remastering or remaking old classic games, bringing a second life to them and allowing them to exist once more in the modern-day gaming world. Some classic remasters work;
In 2011, the world was introduced to Minecraft, a sandbox game developed and published by Mojang Studios. The game is best known for its simple low poly and pixelated graphics, which was by design, and the franchise became a huge success, winning various awards and is still being played today.

The swamps in the Deep South are murky but awfully inviting. Compulsion Games, creators of ‘We Happy Few’ and ‘Contrast’, two games I dug into myself, have created such a magical world in their newest project, ‘South Of Midnight’, and it’s pretty decent. A tale set in the dreary bayou
DOOM: The Dark Ages, the much-anticipated sequel to DOOM Eternal is just around the corner, and thanks to the folks over at Bethesda ANZ, we had the pleasure of spending several hours checking out the game. Our hands-on playtime included playing through the entire first chapter of the campaign and
Surprisingly, I’m not new to playing as a cat in a platformer, albeit my previous experience was more dystopian sci-fi. Only Way is Down by Jilted Generation Productions takes it to a more realistic place, with a small side of silliness that often falls flat. Starting firmly on the ground
Age of Mythology: Retold launched July 12, 2024, modernising the beloved classic with upgraded graphics, refined gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements. It quickly became a favourite for nostalgic players and newcomers. The adventure continues with the release of the First Expansion, Age of Mythology: Retold—Immortal Pillars. If you want to read
In 2016, the children’s graphic novel series, Dog Man, written and illustrated by Dav Pilkey, was released and was the beginning of a highly successful book series, with 14 books published as of this writing. It is set in the same universe as Captain Underpants, who got his feature film
Atomfall asks a simple question: What if the Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957 actually turned part of Britain into an irradiated wasteland? In this alternate version of England, Rebellion has traded in its third-person, stealth action games like Sniper Elite, for a first-person, survival action game akin to ‘Fallout’ or

‘Rise of the Ronin’, a 2024 ARPG, by Team Ninja, is finally on PC and developed by KOEI TECMO GAMES. With a release on PC plagued with woeful dramas due to a rumored stuttering issue, I was concerned when tasked with tackling this otherwise highly acclaimed PS5 title. I remained
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the latest instalment from Ubisoft, transporting players to the Sengoku period of feudal Japan. This game introduces a dual-protagonist system that allows players to embody Naoe and Yasuke. Will you be hiding in the shadows or running head-on in the fight? ‘The Animus Hub’ is making
‘Sorry We’re Closed’ is a retro-infused, single-player survival horror game about love and demons. It is the debut title by developers à la mode games and publishers Akupara Games. After launching for PC in late 2024, Sorry, We’re Closed is now making its way to Xbox consoles on March 6,
‘Monster Hunter’ and I have a very interesting relationship. The first game I ever played in the series was 2018’s ‘Monster Hunter World’, and while I knew I was playing a great video game, it just never clicked for me. Then came 2021’s ‘Monster Hunter Rise’, and the same issues
In 2021, ‘It Takes Two’ was released to critical acclaim, winning numerous ‘Game of the Year’ awards and changing the co-op genre forever. So, you could probably forgive Josef Fares and his team at Hazelight Studios if they wanted to rest on their laurels for their next game. However, after
One of the most famous thieves in pop culture, Carmen Sandiego, has a long history in video games dating back to 1985 with her debut game, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, and many more in the years that followed. Despite being a video game series, they were also
Outer Brains Studios has thought out of the box with ‘Blood Typers’, a survival horror, retro-styled adventure game but with a twist. The only way to complete the game is to type, so you have to learn to type quickly. This game was lots of fun from start to finish,
‘Police: Shootout’, developed by Games Incubator and Hypnotic Ants, is a turn-based, first-person shooter, a bizarre combination indeed. Here, you must step into the footsteps of a cop and make all the hard decisions, some harder than you may realise. The story has a decent premise. You play as our
SEGA’s ‘The Like a Dragon’ franchise (formerly known as Yakuza in the West) developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is known for its large cast of colourful characters with diverse personalities, and one of the biggest standouts since the original game is Goro Majima. He was introduced in the original
‘Moroi’ available on Steam at the present, is developed by Violet Saint and published by Good Shephard Entertainment. Have you ever wanted to sit in a dark room and dive into a top-down story-driven fairytale with a full spectrum of dark humour? With Moroi, it’s sure to tick the boxes
Glum—what better word describes my feelings after playing ‘GLUM’? Maybe that was the intention of developer and publisher CinderCat Games, but after spending three hours playing the demo, as much as I wanted to have fun with GLUM, I never found it. Glum is a goblin minion whose overlord has
Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are back with another title.

This week, MKAU Gaming was fortunate enough to check out the Steam demo for ‘HoverGrease 2’, an upcoming release developed and published by Altergaze.

Man, I have always liked cooking, but somehow, ‘Let’s Cook Together 2’ by Yellow Dot Games makes the relaxing experience a full-on panic-fest. Bringing together the preparation of dishes and cooking them under a time limit, kitchen life here is not relaxing. You play as an Ohmie working with General
This is not the ‘Elden Ring’ you might remember. Published by Bandai Namco and developed once again by FromSoftware, who said late last year that they weren’t “really considering” a sequel, spin-off or DLC anytime soon. To our surprise, they then announced ‘Elden Ring: Nightreign’, a standalone, co-op, action-adventure roguelike
