A couple of people have spoken to me about a tragic new trend amongst blockchain fans – the odious idea of “play-to-earn”. No longer will playing a video game be frivolous – your time will be rewarded with actual currency. If you’ve got to the second paragraph without feeling your stomach churn in disgust, you may well be part of the problem. The idea that playing for the love of the craft isn’t enough, but that digital busy work or…

The Secrets Behind Redfall
There may not be many surprises here, but it perhaps confirms what we all suspected. A new article from Jason Schreier has spilled the beans behind Redfall’s miserable development, and its critically poor reception. This isn’t an article revisiting what is already at Bloomberg. In short: Redfall was planned as a GaaS title, but direction was extremely muddled. Morale was low. Microsoft did nothing to fix the project. The most damning part, in my eyes, is that staff at Arcane…
Read MoreTo the Rescue! A Dog Shelter Simulator First Impressions
Recently, I had the opportunity to take To the Rescue! A Dog Shelter Simulator for a spin, and while I wasn’t sure what to expect, I found a very cozy, dog centric experience that was more fun than it probably has any right being. With a fantastic gameplay loop and tons to actually do, To the Rescue! should be a big hit this summer on Nintendo Switch! Guess what? In To the REscue! A Dog Shelter Simulator you will be…
Read MoreUpgrades Metal Gear Remake Needs
Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the greatest games ever made. But it’s also nearly twenty years old. Things have changed a lot since 2004. That means the recently announced Metal Gear Solid Δ Snake Eater – the actual real name of the remake – has a few easy targets they can hit to make massive improvements without doing anything controversial. Here I’m going to be talking a little bit about options the developers have for making a Metal…
Read MoreEverdream Valley Review in Progress
So I was given an opportunity to get my hands on Everdream Valley a little early ahead of it’s May 30th release date. Now I have been a fan of games like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons and such, so it’s hard to find something new and exciting on the farming adventure kind of games with all of the competition. We do get quite alot of them honestly, but very few to the quality of the titles I…
Read MoreAquarist Review
So, we all know I have a bit of a reputation here at GamesReviews. I’ve mowed lawns, I’ve built PCs, I’ve flipped homes, I’ve power washed stuff, I’ve run gas stations….so what on earth could possibly be next for me? How about fish tanks?!? Aquarist is an aquarium building simulator much like PC building Simulator. The game starts with you on your birthday, and you are given your first tank and some $$ to design your own. Once that serves…

Read MoreMia and the Dragon Princess Review
I’m a sucker for the old school FMV games. Playing them on my PC in the mid-late 90s and occasionally we get some on consoles now. The latest of which being Mia and the Dragon Princess, which don’t let the name fool you, the game is full of greatly coordinated fights, explosions, and action. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Mia dreams of adventure, but her feeling of responsibility to her workmates – who have become her surrogate family –…
Read MoreEverdream Valley First Impressions
2022 and 2023 have probably been overloaded with farming and life simulation games. There have been dozens that have released on Nintendo Switch alone, and even more on Steam. More often than not, many of these games never make their way to PlayStation or Xbox, but that isn’t the case with Everdream Valley. Everdream Valley is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Steam on May 30, 2023, and to Nintendo Switch sometime in June. As I had heard very…
