Robot Space Frenzy

Hey guys hows it going today we are talking about Robot Space Frenzy but first huge thanks to Retro Trash Games for reaching out and sending me the key its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So this game is a tribute to old school shooters like Doom so if you played doom style games you will fit right at home here. You the player are stuck on a space station where all the robots have turned into homicidal maniacs, as the last human left can you survive and turn them off.

The graphics for this are right out of an old school console but they look great the colors keep everything grounded so no harshness while you play which when your looking at a screen taking care of your eyes becomes a priority.

The game offers a variety of weapons and levels for you to progress through until you reach the end… or is it the end. Some weapons work way better then others my favorite was the shotgun cause honestly it could one shot certain bots. The levels definitely take some getting used to i had to back track so much cause everything looks the same and honestly with no way of marking anything its easy to get lost thankfully the bodies stay behind so you know what way you came from.

This game is an indie tribute to the doom shooters of yester year and is fun and simple easy to learn hard to master and for 4.99 you do not lose out on a big price tag its worth it give it a shot and enjoy thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Tiny Bookshop

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about a small gem ive been playing on ps5 called Tiny Bookshop, but first massive thank you to Neoludic Games, Skystone Games and 2P games for sending me out the code to check the game out its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about it.

First off this game is cozy very cozy and relaxing I had such a chill time playing i almost forgot I was playing a game because of how well done this game is.

So in Tiny Bookshop you move from the big city and find yourself in a small town called Bookstonbury where you decide to open up a small book shop out of a trailer attached to your car the game does a great job of walking you through stuff between opening up your shop and restocking it before each day, as you play you meet the locals who are all very happy to have a bookstore in town as the old shop closed up as the owner retired which ironically shes the first person you meet and interact with. Theres plenty of other villagers that you meet and slowly get to know as they open up more missions and quest for you that are all simple.

The town also has different locations where you can travel to and sell your books each location will have a different type of genre priority so those books will sell more so try your best to remember to keep customers happy.

The game is slow and simple you get to provide customers with help in finding books sometimes you get it and others you dont but its part of business, everyday you get the chance to buy more books to restock and grow your inventory so its good to always be on the look out for sales.

The locations are very relaxed and the art style used in this game fits perfectly with the plot of the game. Ive played a decent amount of cozy games but this one takes the top spot there’s no stress nothing to over think just open up shop help your customers and have a great day what more can you ask for.

Tiny Bookshop is definitely a must grab for those cozy lovers out there its available on steam and console, again thanks to the devs for sending me a key thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

NITROGLYCERIN!

Hello everyone hows it going? Hope everyone is well today I wanted to talk to you about a small indie game called Nitroglycerin! I found this game from a YouTube video and instantly wanted to play it so let’s dive in.

So Nitroglycerin is a physics driving game similar to stuff like snow runner and mud runner your job is to drive a truck and its cargo up a dangerous road until you reach the end. It sounds simple but its far from it.

So you get 3 chances per run with 3 different trucks they each have there own strengths and weaknesses but the main goal is learning control over your vehicle i played using a controller which was honestly the best way I found to play as it gives your more freedom in feathering the controls to slow down and speed up which again every move you make could be your last. There is no damage meter or anything for you to track its all using visual sight of the cargo to know how long before it blows up ending your run.
I failed quiet a few times learning the road the trucks getting better as I went but I didnt give up the game is addicting and makes me wanna finish it which I did the game is short the first mode you drive up the mountain the second game mode unlocks when you beat the first and it puts you going down the mountain and then there’s a free roam which let’s you discover stuff.

This is a short gem at 4.99 it does its job of giving you fun and respecting your time and its a game that I definitely recommend people try out its available on steam thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Collectors Cove

Hey everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about a cozy little gem but first massive thank you to Voodoo Duck for sending me out a key to check out there game its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Collectors cove is a cozy farming adventure on the seas. You have an awesome spacious ship and an even awesomer friend who’s sorta like a lockness monster but very friendly who will help you on your journey.

So the game starts you out on a bit of a tutorial with your uncle teaching you the ropes and giving you your compendium which is a fancy term for your guide book which you fill up as you progress, so after your uncle lays down the ropes gives you some tools and makes sure your ready which he does a great job of it probably one of the best tutorials ive seen in a game, your given your ship and set off on a journey to become a fabled Named Collector which is the highest rank and it will take a lot of work but thats what’s part of the fun is the work you put in to get better.

This game has everything crafting, fishing and gathering the fishing is actually very well done as you can just fish or make bait for specific fish which will become a huge part of the game as you progress since you also need to work on leveling up your friend to make things easier for yourself.

The compendium is very valuable and has plenty of information on everything you come across so always always refer back to it when you wanna do something specific, I forgot to mention there’s also gardening in the game so you will also be learning from the items you plant.

This game is every cozy players dream game and its the first actual cozy game ive played no timers to rush you a great day and night cycle which helps you discover different fishes and just the basic grind as you try to make your home a better place if you love cozy games its one I highly recommend to everyone the games available on steam and consoles and its 20 bucks which at that price is a must grab I hope you guys give this game the cozy love it deserves thanks for stopping by take care and game on.

Movierooms Cinema Management playtest

So I was recently invited to check out the movierooms playtest and I gotta say its reminded me a whole lot of hotel architect so let’s dive in but first huge thank you to the devs over at Mad Pumpkins for sending me a code i greatly appreciate it.

So the game is started out with the story mode to learn the basics its starts you out in the early 1900s and you learn how to build and staff your theater then it has you play a bit so you can see how things work which isnt bad you hire your staff build your rooms place the main items you need and boom you have your theater nothing huge nothing major just simple place and go.

The game has side quest you can try and do while your running your theater which earn you money but the quest I think were bugged for me as they didnt wanna acknowledge the stuff I already had placed i also couldn’t demolish stuff so I think that option was bugged as well.

The playtest ran great aside from those 2 issues placement was easy and the tutorial was easy to understand I didnt feel overwhelmed by anything and thats how I like these types of games to feel easy to understand and comprehend and hard to master the devs have done a great job with this playtest and I cant wait to see what’s next for this game thank you all have a great day and game on

Eufloria Classic

I wasnt sure how to feel about this game im not much of a strategy player as my play style is very much power and overwhelm things but I went into this game with a clear mind so let’s talk about it but first massive thank you to the team at Omni Systems for reaching out and sending me the game key its greatly appreciated and thank you for letting me experience your universe.

So Eufloria is a strategy rts life Sim game where you control seedlings in space and must find ways to reproduce and keep exploring the game does an absolutely amazing job walking you through everything and showing you how to play that I took my time with everything simply because I wanted to make sure I understood everything thrown at me.

So you use the seedlings to expand by planting them into asteroids in a form of terraforming each tree then gives life to new seedlings the best part each asteroid has stats so you will have some that are better at one stat then others and yes it will affect your seedling as well giving them different factors of survival.

Now the trees are also important you see the older they are the better they are at producing so if you have half a dozen older trees they will regrow your numbers much faster then a younger tree and I personally think thats awesome keeps you mindful of each asteroid you control.

I played the story mode in the game there’s chapters and each chapter is broken down into smaller chapters the first chapter ill call the tutorial chapter has 5 sub chapters and each one teaches you something new while also letting you learn at your own pace which is nice there’s no timer rushing you there’s no immediate threat of danger but there is danger waiting for you.

One thing that this game has that I truly love is the music is soft and relaxing I could listen to it for hours on end and even when there was action on screen the music didnt change it had its own vibes and made the game feel great the whole time I was playing.

Eufloria Classic has a lot to do and lots to learn but im not spoiling anything else cause I want you to play this game for yourself its solid its fun and deserves your time and if your a fan of strategy games then you dont lose anything this game respects your time and its one game I definitely recommend.

Thank you again to the team at Omni Systems for sending me this game hope you all have a great day and game on

IRacing Arcade

Hey everyone today I got to test out an awesome little racing game called IRacing Arcade but first I wanna thank the folks over at Original Fire Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s talk.

So Iracing Arcade is an Arcade racer with some management sim involved ypu start out with the lowest car a fiat and race the fiat 500 cup to get your bearings about the game after the game shows you your base where you can place your trophies to be seen and where you will buy new buildings and upgrade buildings in order to have better enhancements for your cars which let’s be real in a racing game any advantage is worth it since we all know these NPC racers are god tier and love to run us over in races.

So the race tourneys are broken down into 4 weeks 1 race per week which is awesome you dont over do it and you have fun as your racing before every race you get to select the difficulty do you wanna race against noob computer racers or do you wanna go all in with the god tier racers and show them who’s boss the choice is yours. This is what career offers as well as building your base for improvements for your cars.

The only gripe I have with the game is multiplayer there are no pre made lobbies for players to join you have to host your own and pray players show up and honestly thats a big let down I wanna race against other players and have fun I hope they can fix this down the road and make it easier to play with others.

Now my absolute favorite thing about the game is the chibi cars they look adorable and honestly are fun to drive the game handles great I played on controller as I wasnt sure there was wheel support but even with a controller everything felt great no over steering no losing control this game was well made and the devs really put time into getting the feel right.

Right now iracing arcade is out on steam for 24.99 and should be coming to consoles down the road I hope you all had a great day take care and game on.

Cult of the Lamb nintendo switch version

So ive been playing cult of the lamb on the nintendo switch and I gotta say the game has been a total blast.

For those that havent played or heard of it your a lamb thats sacrificed to prevent a great evil from happening except that by sacrificing you your brought face to face with the great evil who gives you power so you can start a new cult and bring him back to life.

Now this game has a lot of aspects from the dungeon crawling to building up the cult you always have something to do in the game and honestly it never gets old, from rituals to feast to building beds for your followers the game let’s you be who you want either good or evil its your choice and your not punished for it.

Now the dungeon aspect of the game I could compare it to moonlighter you have 5 dungeons each one needing to be beaten a few times in order to unlock the next one and so on but you also find people that help you along the way as well as new followers to worship you as you progress keep in mind each door has to be beaten 4 times on the 4th run you reach the final boss destroy him and unlock the chains on the final door but of course people wanna see you fail and will do stuff in order for you to fail.

Keeping your followers happy is huge and can be done between dungeon runs you clean up after them cook them food perform rituals and so one and the fact is your followers are adorable little animals in your lamb kingdom.

Ive never had so much fun with a game ive spent plenty of time just chilling with my followers making things better for them so they in turn can help me with upgrades and progression.

Cult of the lamb offers you a lot to do so your never bored and it runs great on the nintendo switch other then some small lag spikes and some loading times feel a bit longer the switch plays it like a champ and is the perfect handheld for cult of the lamb, there’s also plenty of dlc available which I havent gotten to purchase any as ive wanted to beat the base game so if you want a fun adventure with lots to do check out cult of the lamb its available on all consoles and pc through steam thank you all take care and game on

Orwell Keeping an eye on you Nintendo Switch version

First off huge thanks to osmotic studios for sending me the game its greatly appreciated so let’s uh dive in shall we.

So the game is called orwell keeping an eye on you, its a political sim but man some of it feels like this shit is going on in real life and its the first game ive played were its left me feeling like what the actual fuck did I play.

So you start out by making your character your called the Investigator you control the narrative of the story and basically guide everything that happens to an extent.

You see the point of orwell is its a surveillance program that monitors bits and pieces of information to make a profile about you and judge if your dangerous or not and that in itself is the biggest flaw as it runs on bits of info not massive chunks you could say something out of anger and rage and boom the program now considers you a threat and puts you on a watch list.
The game opens up with an explosion at a plaza and a women getting onto a bus and this is where we start your advisor talks you through the basic what to gather how to make a profile a detective your making your profiles and cases and you start adding info and it adds up to the bigger picture soon your singular profile turns into something else a bigger threat more people involved its a slippery slope that spirals fast and this program only gets worse as you progress in the story.

You see now that you have 1 or 2 profiles going you start invading there privacy there public profiles there blogs eventually there emails and texts messages until your literally going through there computers checking there bank statements and job history you see orwell sees everything and finds what it needs to make the case against you even bigger but the flaw lays in the Investigator you see you the player adds the data the advisor tells you more info about it if its useful or to watch it if its shit so the whole time this investigation isnt being done by a full team no to avoid any issues its all down to 2 people the advisor and you the player.

Orwell evolves as you go and the story of this game honestly is insane and one i can say you must experience for yourself and the way this game pushes so close to something that could probably be real is just unreal.

Orwell keeping an eye on you is an episodic adventure of 5 episodes to progress through getting deeper and crazier as you progress not once did I ever fully grasp the drama that I was creating everything you experience feels real the devs did an amazing job with drawing you in and not letting you go until the end and all I can say is holy fuck what a game truly one that needs to be experienced as my words dont do it justice I played on the nintendo switch this game felt perfect for it and i cant wait to see what the devs have in store for us next. Thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Adaptory

Hey guys today I wanna talk to you about Adaptory but first huge thanks to Stormcloak games and indie.io for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

Now i love colony sim games ive played a bunch over my years but ive never played one as punishing as Adaptory. This game is clearly inspired by oxygen not included even tho i never played it im sure its easier then this.

So the game opens up with you picking the first 4 people which im assuming you get more as you progress you load in and you crash land on an alien planet your ship is a mess and you gotta move quick as oxygen is running out. Now thankfully there’s a bit of a tutorial that shows you the basics and what to do and thankfully the tutorial stays there for every run which is a huge plus for me but it does lack some info with issues ive encountered during my run more on that later.

So you start digging underground getting materials to start building and thankfully the main material is dirt as you build everything from dirt dont ask me how you get metal from dirty but you do now as your people are building there living against time the oxygen bar is small and runs out quick sadly it recovers slowly which im guessing is there way of getting as close as possible to realism.

Soon your tasked with building a research desk to unlock power and other important things thankfully all material needs again are simple just dirt which I like as it keeps some stress off during early stages but your in space how do you get power theres 2 options solar panels and a small coal plant you can use both well actually your forced to use both as solar panels dont really produce enough energy as for the coal plant as long as you have coal your golden which you find while digging underground.

The game offers special views to monitor the oxygen and power grids but honestly it doesn’t show much in my opinion just an overlay of where stuff is.

Now ive played a few hours into this game over 15 runs and every single time I end up losing to all my idiots dying, yes I called them idiots cause honestly they are they will mope around outside in the void of space sometimes not moving and dying because they couldn’t be assed to move to safety. By best run thanks to RNGesus I was able to get water pumps and oxygen generators going but then what even using the over lay you see where the oxygen is at but it barely moves or expands this is were my mood starts going sour.

Even with a tutorial after maybe 5 minutes the game just stops it doesn’t expand on oxygen generators or water pumps after you unlock them and build it doesn’t tell you or show you how to fully utilize stuff to get the maximum benefit and fine I get it the devs want you to figure shit out but if your not giving players an actual tutorial run people will get frustrated and quit and I did after over 23 runs of just dying over and over I gave up even with everything I learned it still wasnt enough my biggest gripe is at one point a warning icon pops up saying cant operate due to pressure ok how do I fix it where is the info and the game gives you nothing what in the actual fuck am I supposed to magically know what to do no its the devs job during tutorial to show players everything and they cant even be assed to give a proper tutorial.

All that aside yes the game is fun and if your a fan of builder style games then check this out and if you’ve played oxygen not included then you might have no problems here but clearly this game doesn’t want new players and its sad I really wanna keep playing it but im not gonna risk punching my monitor thanks to how frustrated this game made me.

Thats all for today guys thank you for stopping by take care and game on.
