Fallout 76: Infestations update – Preview
The good devs have continued to improve and keep Fallout 76 going through the years. The vanilla version had a rocky start, but as the years and updates have rolled out, the game has taken shape and has firmly established a foothold in the Fallout series for the foreseeable future. To further solidify its place in the family, Update 68 arrived on the public test server (PTS) last week and will be ...[Read More]
EPOMAKER – Carbonis Mouse Review (PC)
There is nothing like a light mouse that packs some gaming power punch. Epomaker’s Carbonis Mouse is a fine example of never judge a book by its cover. The little engine of a mouse that could brings not only an insanely accurate wireless gaming solution, but also packs a punch with programmability of macros, good battery life, and, and this is one thing that I cannot get over because I have never ...[Read More]
KIWI Ears – Halcyon IEMs
The KIWI Ears Halcyon are set to redefine the IEM industry. While cheaper KIWI Ears IEM solutions haven’t come close to high-end quality IEM products from other companies, the Halcyon takes KIWI to the next level in terms of quality, design, and overall functionality. I have been testing these out for the last few weeks, skeptical due to past KIWI Ear audio solutions, but have found that the Halcy...[Read More]
Forza Horizon 6 Review (PC)
There are occasions in life when I enjoy a good car game. Take, for example, Gran Turismo 7; it’s a pleasant experience with a sense of panache entangled with it. It’s meant to be sipped for a while, but not gulped all at once. It challenges the player, but doesn’t infuriate them. It contains enough to be constantly engaging and enthralling, but not intense to make it frustrating or seem built for...[Read More]
Planted! – Playtest Preview (PC)
Last week, Digitalchumps was privy to a playtest of Cloth Cat Games’ multiplayer game Planted. It’s a chaotic game that centers on farming with friends and trying to screw them over in the process. This will test friendships, that is for certain. The gameplay for Planted has four players with sectioned-off garden areas. Each person has the opportunity to plant veggies, grow them big, and the...[Read More]
SoulQuest Review (PC)
There is something magical about a hack-and-slash action platformer. Nintendo lived off these things when bringing the NES to the American market. And this game is a good reminder of those old gaming days. SoulQuest from developers SoulBlade Studio, LLC, and TomasJPereyra, is a perceived mindless hack-and-slash experience that is driven by a good old revenge story backdrop. That backdrop is proppe...[Read More]
Replaced Review (PC)
Some dev is a huge fan of Blade Runner, and the 1992 video game hit Flashback. Can’t say I blame them. Replaced by developer Sad Cat Studios is a futuristic dystopian 2.5D narrative that is quite possibly one of the most beautiful pixel games I have seen in my entire 50 years on this planet. Thick on narrative, solid on gameplay, Replaced does what it wants and doesn’t ask for forgiveness in the p...[Read More]
Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen Review (PS5)
I know a lot of younger gamers who are going to enjoy the heck out of this. And a few college students I teach as well. And probably some adults (me). Anyway! Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen from developer Halfbrick Studios Pty Ltd heads to consoles this month, and sometime ‘coming soon’ to PC as well. It’s a simple game that features the voice actors from the television show. It’s playful, silly a...[Read More]
NITRO GEN OMEGA Review (PC)
I saw where this game was going, and I wasn’t disappointed by the results. NITRO GEN OMEGA from developer DESTINYbit is a turn-based, open-world mech game that almost hits all the right notes. It features a welcoming world with plenty of tasks and side quests to complete, while beneath it all lies a sort of simulator that complicates the gameplay. The rub on this rib is that the game sometimes ove...[Read More]
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Review (Nintendo Switch 2)
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has returned! And this time, it has made it to the little system that could, the Nintendo Switch 2. While the system is not as powerful as the Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5/Pro, it packs a bit of a punch with this game. While the game hasn’t changed with story and gameplay, the graphical immersion should have taken a steep drop, considering the hardware. Sur...[Read More]
Invincible VS Review (PS5)
When Fight Club came out years ago in the late 90s, I was absolutely blown away by its theme, twist, and overall body of work. It was a quintessential love letter placed on the grave of male expectations handed down by past generations, and reset how men should perceive themselves and their emotions in life. Loved it, and the film spoke to me like no other fighting film of its type. After watching...[Read More]
MOTORSLICE Review (PC)
Motorslice from developer Regular Studio sits between being a great game and one that still needs some work. It is a parkour action game that has some very good intentions in its design, but the execution sometimes trips over itself in a couple of areas. The biggest flaws in this game lie within direction, meaning knowing what you’re supposed to be doing, and requesting the player to use mechanics...[Read More]
