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
‘Tiny Garden’ by Ao Norte is a game with an interesting concept, and that, my friends, alone is commendable because thinking outside the box is rare. There is a loose narrative attached to this game through letters you unlock as you progress. It is quite a touching little story of
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;
Restore old sports facilities and give them a new lease on life in Sports: Renovations, a relaxing, story-driven simulator. Goat Gamez and Dear Villagers have left no stone unturned in providing a relaxing yet challenging experience for our grubby hands, with smooth gameplay, crisp graphics, and a good-vibes soundtrack. Once
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
Have you ever wanted to spend time with family or friends and play a fun and competitive game with multiple space Galaxy game modes and special celestial space spirits, all with unique models for each person to enjoy? Well, look no further. Welcome to Which Way Up: Galaxy Games, Developed
Recently, Steam concluded its latest Steam Next Fest, and throughout, I got to experience numerous great indie game demos, including a couple of extraordinary point-and-click and visual novel adventures. But now that it’s over, I was left with an itch. That was fixed when I stumbled upon ‘Your House’, a
‘Look Outside’ is a bizarre and quirky game, so it was no wonder it got picked up by the connoisseurs of the weird and wonderful publishers Devolver Digital. Developed by Francis Coulombe, this survival RPG with turn-based combat is not what I expected, but it was my kind of eccentric
‘Wreckfest 2’, developed by Bugbear Entertainment and published by THQ Nordic, is the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed demolition derby racing game, ‘Wreckfest’. The game has entered early access as of March 20th, 2025 and has been added to Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and MKAU
‘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
Attention all survivors of the ‘GORN’ arena! The blood-soaked, adrenaline-fueled chaos of the original VR brawler is back, and it’s bigger and bolder than ever. The original developer, Free Lives, has returned and teamed up with the award-winning developers at Cortopia to bring you ‘GORN 2’, published by Devolver Digital.
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,
‘Two Point Museum’, another instalment in the ‘Two Point’ series brought to you by Two Point Studios and Sega, is an engrossing management sim boasting heaps of customisation and plenty of wonderful and wacky exhibits to display in your museums, creating the ultimate guest experience. As this was my first
‘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
You’ve heard of ‘Crazy Train’ from Ozzy Osbourne, but have you heard of ‘Monster Train’? The 2020, rogue-like, deck-builder (and cult favourite of the genre) drives back into the spotlight with ‘Monster Train 2’, the next in the series by Shiny Shoe, published by Good Shepherd Entertainment. If the game’s
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
Have you ever wanted to play ‘Super Meat Boy’ with combat? No, neither have I, but now I have you thinking, would that even work? How would that work? Would Peter pick pickled peppers with or without gloves? Some of these questions I can answer for you after playing the
Thanks to developer Wallride and publisher Super Rare Originals, I was allowed to play their demo of ‘Grandma No!’ Unfortunately, I will have little to tell you as the demo only lasted about 15 minutes. Even after a second play-through, there wasn’t much more to find and interact with. Anyway,
This week, MKAU Gaming was fortunate enough to check out the Steam demo for ‘HoverGrease 2’, an upcoming release developed and published by Altergaze. After learning that HoverGrease sadly failed amidst the carnage of the pandemic, it was refreshing to see that a game enjoyed by thousands would be making
‘Door Kickers 2: Task Force North’ is the sequel to RockPaperShotgun’s best tactics game of 2014, ‘Door Kickers’. Developed and produced by KillHouse Games, ‘Door Kickers 2’ brings you the best in tactical close-quarters gameplay against the Middle East-based terrorist network. Door Kickers 2 had me on the edge of
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
Oh, do I love games that tug at nostalgia. Unfortunately, some games just throw in ‘remember berries’ with no real purpose. ‘Tiny Garden’ by Ao Norte is a game I have yet to decide if the gimmick of a garden in a tiny pocket-sized town is exciting or just there
Blizzard’s Diablo IV has yet again been pumping out content and brought out with it its newest event the ‘Lunar Awakening Collection’. To celebrate the Lunar New Year and more fitting the ‘Year of the Snake’, players were rewarded with extra XP, unique rewards and a series of new buff
Munich-based development team Aesir Interactive, who are well known for the popular title Police Simulator and publisher team Nacon, have brought another simulation game to our screens with Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator, where you get to strap on the boots of a paramedic and see how many lives you
I rarely spend numerous hours honing my craft in blacksmithing, building a strong reputation with the locals, and engaging in swordplay. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II let me do all of the above, and then some, without needing to leave the house. I spent what feels like an age exploring Warhorse
DeathOmen is a psychological horror story by developer Jeff Winner and published by CreativeForge Games. I do like a good psychological horror, but to truly get my spine tingling with fear, the formula needs to evoke my imagination to run away with itself. Consequently, I often find myself unimpressed by
Sleeper Hit Gets Even Bigger! It’s time to wake up again, Sleeper. The Starward Belt needs you, or more, you need it. ‘Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector’ published by Fellow Traveller and developed by Jump Over the Age, is a sequel to 2022’s indie sci-fi “sleeper” hit, ‘Citizen Sleeper’. Citizen
I’ve concluded that simulation games are my secret pleasure in life. Whenever one is available for review, I’m usually the first to throw my hand in the air to do it. Cheesecake Dev is back with their second instalment into the streaming simulation scene with ‘Streamer Life Simulator 2’ in
