Hardcore Gamer's Reviews

4.5 / 5.0 - Demon Tides
Feb 21, 2026

Like all Demon Turf's tools, how you use it is up to you, so if you want a vicious challenge or a guided tour, that's your call.

3 / 5.0 - High on Life 2

High on Life 2 is a sequel that takes meaningful steps forwards with its storytelling and variety, but also many steps back with its gunplay, level design and lack of refinement. It's an ambitious sequel that's fun in doses, but this comedy bit off way more than it could chew.

4.5 / 5.0 - Ride 6
Feb 9, 2026

RIDE 6 suffers in the technical areas with inconsistent visuals and bike sounds, along with a good bit of random, yet quick loading times. With more content coming in the future, this is the game that squids and twisty riders have been waiting for.
