🚀🌕Review: Deep Sixed - *”Space…the final fron-…ah, damn, the microphones knackered, again”* 🚀🌕

Game Title: Deep Sixed

Platform Reviewed: PC (Steam)

Developer: LRDGames Inc.

Rating: Ice Cool

Deep Sixed is one of the most unique and fun video games that I’ve played in a little while and the only real downside is that it’s so well-designed that its specific nature may be off-putting for some, but those that click with it will find an absolute gem of a gem that will capture their imagination for a long time to come.

⚔️ Preview: Soulblight "Time To Don My +5 Armour of Sandcastle-Building" ⚔️ #IndieGame #GameDev

An intriguing game with distinctive visuals and depth but the clunky, simplistic combat and finicky menus could be an issue.

The story that drives Soulblight tells of a tree of life guarded by man, but increasingly buried away behind concrete and towers as time passes by, resulting in its wilting. 

Soon, a darkness ravages the land, leaving your character as the last hope to bring light to the waning lands .

🕹️ Bristol Gaming Market June 2018 - With Britt & Faye 🕹️ @BrittRecluseuk @ReplayEvents @KingdomOfCarts

The last time Faye and I went to a gaming market, it was last summer in London and we felt that the six-hour round trip wasn’t quite worth it and so vowed to only attend expos with markets as a part of them as opposed to gaming markets alone.

However, as this was so close to us we felt that we couldn’t miss the opportunity and so once again booked a hotel, packed up the Nintendo Switch (the hotel’s HDMI port was AWKWARD to reach!) and started off on our trip.

💾🦉The BBC Computer Literacy Project 1980-89 🦉💾

If you grew up in the 80's you might remember an awesome piece of BBC TV called the Computer Literacy Project.

It focused on the BBC Micro and helped to ignite a love for the awesome machine that graced many a school classroom during the 80's.

If you remember these days fondly you're in luck as there's an awesome BBC Website set up purely to showcase this amazing programme...

Britt: Firstly I wanted to say that Greedy Guns was my choice for co-op game of the year for Games Freezer, genuinely some of the most fun I’ve had in a two-player mode in the last year.

Miguel: Thank you so much! It means the world to us to know that people appreciate our game. Thank you x1000.

🕹️ Britt Talks To Elliot Scholes at The Bristol Gaming Market 🕹️ @TheVGMarket #Retrogaming

Britt: As far as I’m aware, this is Replay Events’ first gaming market in Bristol as events tend to usually either be in London or further up north. Are there plans for future events or perhaps even a full-on Expo in the south?

Elliot: It is our first gaming market in Bristol! We definitely have plans for another, I would say keep an eye on our Facebook page. In regards to something bigger, we did work with the folks at the Bristol Hippodrome earlier this year to run a pop-up gaming exhibition. I really do feel like there is a need for a show like our PLAY Expos in this area of the country, so who knows?!

🛠️ Review: Die Young "A Mesh of Great Ideas in One Tasty Pot" 🛠️ #EarlyAccess #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Die Young

Developer: IndieGala

Platform Reviewed: PC (Steam)

Rating: In Early Access at present.

I had never heard of Die Young before reviewing it for review, but as it was installing I was reading up on the comparisons to Rust and The Forest etc. which made me narrow my eyes a bit. 

I have no issue with the survival adventure genre but it’s not something that I actively seek out. Whilst I can see the appeal of knocking up a log cabin with picket fence surround and a herb garden whilst nightly fighting off randomly spawning cannibals, it just isn’t for me. 

Die Young takes a different approach which immediately made me sit up and pay attention.

🧙🏻‍♀️Review:Bullet Witch "If only I could cast a spell to make this a better game"🧙🏻‍♀️

Game Title: Bullet Witch

Platform Reviewed: PC (Steam)

Developer: Cavia (original) / Marvelous, Inc (re-release)

Rating: Melted

Bullet Witch was a game released back in 2006 for the Xbox 360 to reviews that were middling at best and with good reason. Bland, buggy graphics set in tedious, linear levels that are filled with copy/paste enemies that you mow down via unsatisfying gunplay; it really wasn’t a good example of the 3rd person shooter genre. 

Upon release it was quickly forgotten by everyone except the most ardent fans of the game, fast-forward twelve years to this re-release, now playable in 60fps and 1080 resolution and we ask the question, 

“Has the game finally discovered a new lease of life, replete in re-mastered glory?”

*drum roll*

🚀 Review: Last Encounter "A Good Title Made Great With Friends" 🚀 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Last Encounter

Developer: Exordium Games

Platform Reviewed:  PC (Steam)

Rating: Ice Cool

Last Encounter is the newest game from the studio that gave us the charming pseudo-noir adventure series ‘Bear With Me’, moving away from the point and click genre, Last Encounter is a top-down twin-stick shooter with support for up to four players (good) and a rogue-lite approach to level design.
