Full Bore

Full Bore is a sprawling adventure with plenty of puzzle based challenges to tackle while you are exploring.

Gameplay: A block based puzzler with some very clever challenges.

Graphics: Lovely pixel art with some great animations and lighting effects.

Sound: An excellent glitch/blues soundtrack rounds off the package

Victor Vran PC Game Reviews

Victor Vran

Victor Vran is the latest contender for the action-RPG crown and actually offers a very enjoyable experience. Visually, it is a little similar to the Van Helsing titles, but thanks to its character customization options feels quite fresh. It also features non-stop action and plenty of challenges, so fans of the genre will really get their money’s worth with this one.

Gameplay: The relentless action can become a little repetitive, but the variety of weapons and powers keeps the combat interesting.

Graphics: The handcrafted levels look really nice and the lighting effects really stand out.

Sound: Good voice acting by some familiar voice actors and a good soundtrack as well

DuckTales: Remastered PC Game Reviews

DuckTales: Remastered

Wayforward definitely handled this remastered version with the respect that it deserves. The updated visuals look fantastic and the audio sounds great. It was also very nostalgic to hear the original voice actor for Scrooge reprising his role after all these years. If you loved the original you will have a blast with this one, but newcomers might wonder what all the fuss is about.

Gameplay: Very true to the original.

Graphics: The new character sprites are awesome, but I would have liked 2D backgrounds as well.

Sound: Nice renditions of the classic tunes

Castle of Illusion PC Game Reviews

Castle of Illusion

Castle Of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is a polished and great looking update of a 16 bit classic but it is not without issues. The controls feel a bit too floaty and the whole experience can be over in one sitting. The updated visuals look fantastic however and fans of the mouse will appreciate the attention to detail that has gone into this game.

Gameplay: Captures the spirit of the original bit is a bit on the easy side.

Graphics: The highlight of the game.

Sound: The ability to switch between the original and remastered soundtrack is great

Knee Deep PC Game Reviews

Knee Deep

One suicide, three investigators and a whole town of shady characters to question. That about sums up Knee Deep, but the focus on conversations, intriguing story and unique visual presentation definitely make it worth a second look. It is more of a visual novel than a typical point & click adventure, but will definitely hook anyone who loves a good story and memorable characters.

Gameplay: The focus of the game is on the story and not puzzle solving, so expect plenty of conversations.

Graphics: Character models look a little stiff, but overall the visual style works well.

Sound: No voice acting, but the soundtrack is very good

Fort Meow PC Game Reviews

Fort Meow

Adorable cats and addictive physics-based puzzle adventuring is a winning combination and ensures that Fort Meow will keep players hooked to the end. Building pillow forts out of all kinds of odds and ends is a blast, and the physics-based gameplay keeps things interesting. While initially a little short for our liking, the free Challenge Mode added after release offers a great excuse to keep playing after completing the campaign.

Gameplay: Very addictive and features enough items to keep the fort building interesting.

Graphics: The adorable children’s book style visuals look great.

Sound: Some very catchy tunes to accompany the wacky action

Whispering Willows PC Game Reviews

Whispering Willows

Whispering Willows is not a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat from excitement, but the slower pace and interesting story make for an engaging experience. Unraveling the mysteries of Willows Mansion and communicating with the lost souls is a unique experience that kept us hooked from start to finish. If you demand quick reflexes or mind-bending puzzles to be entertained, the game may feel boring to you. Still, if you can appreciate a slower-paced, engaging experience, this is a great title to add to your collection.

Gameplay: The game is slow-paced but very engaging.

Graphics: Whispering Willows features beautiful artwork for the characters and backgrounds.

Sound: The soundtrack is very atmospheric, and the sound effects are excellent
