TV Archive: Tidy Up Together knows exactly what it wants to be. It isn’t trying to reinvent the simulation genre. There isn’t a huge narrative hiding beneath the shelves, nor is there some elaborate endgame waiting for you once you’ve sorted the final tape. The satisfaction comes from watching the archive gradually take shape. A chaotic floor becomes an organised collection. An empty shelf fills up. A section that initially looks overwhelming eventually becomes perfectly tidy.
STAR WARS Zero Company is a game that understands why turn-based tactics are so addictive. It’s not simply about having the strongest characters or the best weapons. It’s about planning several moves, understanding your squad and adapting when things inevitably go wrong.
Omen is frustrating because a good game is clearly buried somewhere inside it. The ingredients are there. The concept is interesting, the setting has potential, and the combination of extraction, progression and base building could have produced something genuinely distinctive. But playing Omen left us wanting more rather than making us want to keep going.
Case Solved: The London Files succeeds because it understands what makes solving mysteries satisfying. With the game allowing full freedom to think, with no timer or time-based penalty, it really does illuminate the feeling of solving a case, with a genuine accomplishment of pinpointing exactly who dun it!
While it still has room to grow in enemy variety, item explanation and mission diversity, the core gameplay loop remains strong. The combination of physics-driven teamwork, extraction mechanics and supernatural exploration gives Wreck Runners an identity all its own. If you’ve been looking for the next great cooperative game to enjoy with friends, this is one worth climbing aboard for.
Heave Ho 2 is a smart, creative multiplayer party experience that rewards creativity and patience. It won’t grab everyone immediately, but if you enjoy the party-game genre and are interested in a new approach that relies heavily on those playing with you, there’s something genuinely compelling here.
Ground Zero doesn’t hide what it wants to be. From the moment you step into the fog-covered ruins of Busan, it wears its inspirations proudly: a deliberate throwback to classic survival horror, where tension builds slowly, and every bullet feels like a decision between life and virtual death.
One of our favourite publishers here at MKAU Gaming, Devolver Digital, once again returns to the forefront with Minos. Developed by Artificer, Minos, as you may have guessed from the name alone, does, in fact, feature the Greek mythological beast, the Minotaur, but not in the way you would expect.
I’ll be honest: I never was a fan of The Division. Rough start to a review, right? But hear me out.
At a grim checkpoint on the brink of collapse, survivors arrive one by one, desperate to pass through, and it’s your job to decide who enters, who waits, and who is denied access.
For returning fans, it’s the perfect way to revisit Kate Walker’s journey — now more beautiful, more accessible, and more respectful than ever. For newcomers, it’s a piece of gaming history worth experiencing, as long as you’re ready for a reflective, story-first adventure rather than a puzzle gauntlet.
It’s been over a decade since Sacred 2: Fallen Angel first rolled out its sprawling world of Ancaria, a blend of swords, sorcery, and unapologetic eccentricity. Now, developers Ascaron / THQ Nordic have applied their own Ancaria magic and given life to Sacred 2 once more. The Sacred 2 Remaster, like most modern remasters, aims to recapture nostalgia while keeping the original’s mix of high fantasy and tongue-in-cheek humour, all the while bringing it to the modern PC’s main stage.
There’s something therapeutic about cleaning. The action of literally wiping and scrubbing away some dust or dirt and seeing the clean, pristine results of your hard, elbow-greasing endeavours. But what about blasting away grime, soaping up the dirt and spraying filth into a pristine shine? After the massive success of its predecessor, the PowerWash Simulator series returns with PowerWash Simulator 2, packed with all the belts, whistles, and cleaning gear you know and love.
It’s been a hot minute since we took a dive into Banjo’s Rift and returned to the land of Macabre. Since our time away, there have been some heavily requested and well-implemented changes to the gameplay – from graphics updates to store improvements, and even the monster itself being a bit kinder to the players.
‘These Sunny Daze DLC’ is a colourful expansion to ‘POSTAL: Brain Damaged’, offering fans a fresh setting, new weapons, and additional enemies while keeping the high-octane, arena-style combat intact. The DLC doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it leverages the sunny vacation theme to inject new challenges, visual variety, and humour that’s as crude and chaotic as ever.
The ‘Bendy’ franchise has always thrived on its mixture of vintage cartoon aesthetics and psychological horror, and ‘Bendy: Lone Wolf’ takes that formula into darker, more personal territory. Where previous entries leaned heavily on exploration and puzzle-solving, Lone Wolf emphasises survival mechanics, isolation, and the slow unravelling of one character’s psyche.
Phantom Squad enters the tactical shooter genre with a promise of tense infiltration missions, sleek squad-based mechanics, and a high-tech modern warfare backdrop. Developed by Ctrl Freak and published by Super Rare Originals, it caters to fans of stealth-heavy gameplay and squad control, offering a hybrid of real-time tactics and third-person action. But does it deliver on its black-ops fantasy, or does it get lost in the fog of war?
There’s something that continuously draws us back to old/retro games. Is it nostalgia? Is it wanting to relive the memories? Did we love the storyline? Maybe the somewhat now dated graphics and the soundtrack kept our blood pumping as we eagerly awaited the next boss battle or the revealing of a hidden item? If you have chosen all of the above, then you’ll be delighted to learn that Powerhoof’s newest game, ‘The Drifter’, will unlock all your old-school gaming desires!
White Knuckle is intense, stylish, and unforgiving—in all the right ways. It’s a love letter to speedrunners and ’90s retro platforming fans.
The year is 1959. The world is heavily indulging in rock and roll music, fashion is a big deal, and the looming threat of war is seemingly even bigger! In the midst of it is Mr Winston Green, a newly recruited employee of the delivery company “We Deliver”. Behind his boyish looks and quick-to-ignite hot-headed temper lies a past draped in superior intellect and overwhelming mystery.
