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.

6 / 10.0 - Macabre
Oct 5, 2025

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.

8 / 10.0 - Bendy: Lone Wolf
Aug 24, 2025

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?

Jul 19, 2025

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!

8 / 10.0 - White Knuckle
Jun 29, 2025

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.
