The Jackbox Naughty Pack Review
Review
Sep 12, 2024
It’s that time of year again for the national gaming holiday, New Jackbox Party Pack Day! This year, Jackbox Games Inc. brings us a very special, very titillating, quite moist pack of games in the Jackbox Naughty Pack. The theme of this pack is adult-oriented, with three games that open up the floodgates to allow the players to get as raunchy as they’d like. Two games are classics from other packs, and we get a brand new title to dip our toes into. So before you download this pack of fun, you might want to shoo the kids off to bed.
Caravan SandWitch Review
Review
Sep 12, 2024
Having played the short demo for Caravan SandWitch in a Steam NextFest event I was immediately curious to see how the open world exploration mixed with puzzle solving would evolve and expand into a full game. Sadly, it didn’t feel like it has grown much at all. That’s not to say it’s not still a very nice game with visuals reminiscent of a Jean Giraud (Mœbius) painting, though not leaning as heavily into that style as the not hugely dissimilar Sable. Caravan SandWitch just failed to have a hook to keep me interested after a few hours of running across the enclosed world between a village, forest and desert all sandwiched in a neat little road network that you’ll come to realise very quickly is utterly essential to not being frustrated with what you’ll be doing for the majority of your time in the game: driving.
Wild Bastards Review
Review
Sep 12, 2024
Space pirates are so 2019, but in 2024 it’s all about space outlaws. Developer Blue Manchu made adjustments for Wild Bastards to shift towards more bite-sized encounters and developing crew relationships that has everything feeling more intimate. Void Bastards was one of my favorite games from 2019, and it just hit at the right time, offering everything I was looking for that nailed the setting in space and roguelite formula while incorporating an immersive sim flavor. While this is still set in space, this unfortunately isn’t Void Bastards in the wild west, and in fact, Wild Bastards pales in comparison.
Turtle Beach Kone II Air Review
Review
Sep 11, 2024
The Kone series of gaming mice from the late ROCCAT brand have been the flagship series. Now, Turtle Beach has fully absorbed and has replaced the ROCCAT branding, now known as Turtle Beach PC. The result of this incorporation seems to be marked improvement on the quality of its hardware and software, as this is one of the best ROCCAT / Turtle Beach mice in years. Turtle Beach is the new name in PC gaming hardware, and the Kone II Air is the new king of gaming mice.
