The Flood is one large and heavy game, but just because a box is packed with goodies doesn’t make those goodies come together in a way that’s fun or entertaining. I have played a few games of The Flood already and can confirm it’s a lot of fun, but that’s not what this article is about – let’s take a look at the game’s various components and see whether they live up to the Kickstarter hype! The Flood was sent…

I’ve been dabbling in Farming Simulator for over a week now and while the game has a bunch of problems both on console and PC, I cannot help but continue to pick up the controller and maneuver my tractors around the map. I invest so much into Farming Simulator games because I know Giants Software will continue to work on the game for years to come. But I would be considered a super fan – should you invest? Listen, right…

The LEGO Group continues to impress me with their adult focused LEGO set releases, and the Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit set is no exception. This somewhat complicated build was incredibly satisfying from the first page of the instructions, and with very little repetition in the build, it was a joy to work on for a few hours. Ultimately, in a crowded LEGO space, is this one worth the investment? Let’s take a look! First and foremost, there are…

Queen by Midnight – Quarter Past is a standalone expansion to Queen by Midnight, a well received deck building game from Darington Press. Queen by Midnight was a solid game, but piqued my interest when it was released because of the outstanding dice tower clock included in the box. While Quarter Past doesn’t have the same flashy table presence, subtle improvements and a much smaller box makes this attractive to returning players and new plates alike. We ...

I absolutely love reviewing board games but every once in a while, we get the retail version of a game in the office when a much sexier version exists out there in the wild. That was my feeling when Skyrise landed on my table over the weekend, but despite not having all the deluxified buildings and pieces, the retail version of Skyrise is absolutely stunning! Let’s start with the boring stuff – the cardboard boards you’ll be using to build…

Devir Games makes some truly amazing games, and we’ve had the pleasure of reviewing a whole whack load of them – they all have the same components issue, the fact that there is so much game and without an insert it’s hard to get it all back in the box. That problem exists for White Castle too, but after that, this production is a gem! I don’t usually call out the artwork in these articles, but I want to here…

Over the past few weeks, I have been playing Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home. There have been a number of Harvest Moon games released on iOS and Android devices over the years, but in my humble opinion they haven’t been very good. Arguably, we could say that the Harvest Moon franchise hasn’t been that good either. With the launch of Harvest Moon: One World, things began to take a turn – it was the first time I preferred a Harvest…

The Horrified series of games from Ravensburger has been insanely popular, and for good reason – the cooperative gameplay is incredibly compelling, and the game provides a solid challenge for all levels of board game players. Being able to fight fabled monsters from different mythologies is outstanding, the variety keeps the game feeling fresh time and time again. But with so many versions of Horrified available, do you need more than one? When we wrote ...

Gear up for the launch of Farming Simulator 25 on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Unleash your farming skills and earn that money!

GamesReviews has reviewed a ton of toys over the past half decade, and most of them are flashes in the pan. A few obvious brands stick out, and some less obvious. I think it is no surprise to anyone that LEGO and Playmobil are a big thing with my 10 year old and 6 year old, but one other toy has also caught their attention. This is NOT a flash-in-the-pan experience either, although there is a lot of flash. When…

Superstore 3000 is an easy to learn tile laying game for 1-4 players. Although we said “easy to learn” that doesn’t mean the strategy of the game is easy to master. As you place down stores into your mall and attempt to satisfy customers, you’ll want to keep your eyes on those attraction tiles and docking bays as well. What you build, and when you build it, will be the deciding factor in how well you perform by the end.…

A few weeks ago, The LEGO Group and Epic Games sent over the 4 brand new LEGO Fortnite sets, and we have been having a blast putting them together. Obviously, we reviewed the big sets first – you can read our thoughts on the Battle Bus and Peely Bone now! But the most interesting set in my opinion was the Fortnite Supply Llama, a LEGO set based on the iconic purple Fortnite Llama that is always giving gifts and loot…

Superstore 3000 from Space Cowboys landed on my desk a little while ago thanks to our friends at Asmodee Canada, and I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. Asmodee always reaches out before sending games and asks if I’m interested – I do appreciate this – but with Superstore 3000, I wasn’t sure exactly what I would be getting. Why did I say yes? It was a relatively short game (30-45 minutes) and was playable at my son’s…

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a brand new experience a decade in the making - but does it hold up to previous games in the series?

A few months ago, we wrote about Altered and how much we enjoyed the brief time we spent with the game at Asmodee Canada’s, Canada Plays event. My father-in-law and I knew that there was something really fun and different here, but with only two chances to play, and only using 2 of the potential 6 starter decks, we didn’t have enough time with it. Asmodee Canada sent over an Altered package which included a booster box of packs, 2…
