Plague Inc. The Cure Free For All Plague Inc. Players Until COVID-19 Is Under Control

Back when Plague Inc was first released not even the developers could have imagined that the current state of our world would resemble their game. The game is a strategic simulation that challenges players to bring about the end of human history using a deadly global plague. It’s terrifying stuff and the game is so realistic that the CDC even asked the developer to do a talk about the infection models in the game. However, in light of the current situation in the world, Ndemic Creations has released a major new expansion for the game titled Plague Inc. Evolved: The Cure. It is a complete reversal from the classic game and instead of destroying the world challenges players to try and control the global pandemic response

Pinball FX3 – Williams™ Pinball: Volume 6 PC Game Reviews

Pinball FX3 – Williams™ Pinball: Volume 6

Pinball FX3 – Williams™ Pinball: Volume 6 is another great collection of pinball tables featuring authentic as well as remastered versions of classic tables. This volume includes Funhouse, Dr. Dude and His Excellent Ray as well as Space Station. These tables were some of the last by Williams to use alpha-numeric displays and while two of them have been digitally created before this is the first official virtual recreation of Space Station. The tables are very tricky and occasionally frustrating, but still fun to play and a great addition to any pinball collection.

Gameplay: The tables are not as over the top as other Pinball FX3 ones, but still quite challenging.

Graphics: Both the original and remastered versions of the three tables look great.

Sound: Very authentic, but there are some volume issues with the sounds

Knot PC Game Reviews

Knot

Knot is an enjoyable puzzle game that is based on interlocking burr puzzles. It’s a decent-looking game, but the control scheme leaves much to be desired. With 40 puzzles on offer, the game can be completed in a few hours, but considering the low price tag, it is still something that will keep puzzle fans entertained despite the niggles.

Gameplay: The concept is very enjoyable, but the controls let the game down.

Graphics: The puzzles look great, and the wood, stone, copper, and other materials for the textures add some visual variety.

Sound: Although the soundtrack is quite relaxing, it’s not very varied

Unfortunately, the other Dwarves didn’t take kindly to such rebellious thoughts and promptly banished you. The game opens with your Dwarf finally finding some fertile lands to start a new life in the open air
