PC Previews

Space Engineers Preview    Space. The final frontier. There’s really no better setting for games to explore, simply because of its maddeningly vast stretches of darkness. Not to forget the numerous mysteries waiting to be discovered, either. And while we may not be able to recreate a fully believable simulation of the universe (yet), we can at least pretend that we’re doing our best to...[Read More]

Planet Explorers Preview   Fancy a voxel-based open world game like Minecraft, but set in an extraterrestrial sci-fi setting, with massive plains, beautiful canyons, rivers, lakes and mountains, where you could build and manage your own colony occupied by settlers defending, working on and farming your land, design and build your own dream car or aircraft, and fight scary gigantic alien life fo...[Read More]

Crawl Preview   Recently, a fair number of Early Access games tell the audience that they have a unique and imaginative game mechanic or feature that’s different from anything you’ll see in the mainstream market. They’ll then sell a half finished product, sometimes with a list of all the missing features that may or may not make it into the final release. Crawl is definitely not in this...[Read More]

Grim Dawn Preview    There was once a time when – being a young, impressionable gamer – I played nothing but hack ‘n’ slash games. Trying to cope with the legendary Diablo 2 and being utterly hyped for its then upcoming successor, I jumped into Titan Quest in hopes of getting another fix for my throttling addiction. To this day I remember it as a thrilling (if disappointingly lacking...[Read More]

Heroes and Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar Preview   Heroes and Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar is an turn-based action RPG. The game hasn’t officially been released yet, so some of the problems I found may or may not have been fixed by release date. The player starts with three heroes, Yaha (the warrior), Benedict (the mage) and Allen (the cleric), but will gain more as the game goes on. The pl...[Read More]

Endless Legend Preview     There’s a certain flair to the word “endless” in gaming. Sure, we’re aware that no game is actually without an end, but with the latest advances in world and NPC generation, it can be said that we’re getting pretty damn close to building a game that is, for all intents and purposes, endless. Disregarding that, we gamers flock to titles that come advertised...[Read More]

Dieselstormers Preview   Dieselpunk. You’ve got to love it. After all, there’s nothing quite like the combination of that old Victorian flair and grimy environments and, well, diesel. Black Forest Games – the devs behind Giana Sisters, have envisioned their next game set in one such universe. Where knights in shiny armour use chainguns and oil turns humans into orcs (wait, what?). Set ...[Read More]

Hazard Ops Preview    Hazard Ops is a third person online shooter developed by Yingpei Games, The game is in the Beta test phase of development at the moment but I was lucky enough to get access and here’s my impressions so far. First of all there is a back story to Hazard Ops that the game itself doesn’t really go into but you can read up on the story from the Hazard Ops website. “It’s...[Read More]

Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms Preview    Don’t you just love games with generic titles? I mean, when you name a game, you’re basically giving it a tag that’s going to be the difference between people forgetting about it and mixing it with other titles, or make it memorable and snappy. Now, not everybody can get this right. GamesFarm, the devs of Shadows, seemingly have some trouble with this...[Read More]

GearCity  Preview   While we, gamers, have access to a vast amount of ‘tycoon’ games available, there aren’t many that would simulate the ownership of a proper car company. In the last couple of months, several upcoming titles that deal with the given subject caught my attention. One of them – GearCity. GearCity is the first car-tycoon game to be released on Steam and as such will prob...[Read More]

The Forest Preview   What constitutes a good horror game? It’s not monsters, nor is the game’s setting. The psychological side of things? God, no. It’s the combination of every single element of the experience, including the boogeymen, the location and everything else you might have thought of. Now, the main gripe most players have with horror games is that they’re usually very linear...[Read More]
