Fast, bloody and packing a punch like Iron Mike Tyson, Viscera is an addictive addition to the Steam library that brings a welcome blast of top-down action to the every-growing catalog. Playing very much like a space-themed Vampire Survivors, the pacey arcade action draws the player into an addictive world of mayhem, monsters and kick-ass weaponry. For those craving relentless gameplay with an arcade-style edge, look no further than Viscera. Thrive and Survive At it’s core, Visceral is about survival, pitting players against waves upon waves of bloodthirsty mutants across four stages – each distinctly different to the last.

With a playthrough time of around 45 minutes, Habilis is an ideal candidate for those looking to kill a little time without committing to the usual 30+ hours demanded by most alternatives. Set to release on November 15, the Lovecraftian horror title offers an atmospheric experience in a short and somewhat effective burst. Gameplay Stepping into the shoes of a fame-hungry video content creator, Nathan Walters, you visit an abandoned facility in a bid to draw in viewers and generate those much-coveted “likes”.

October 25 marked the launch of Treyarch’s latest offering to the Call of Duty banquet with Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Opening its doors to an unusually content audience, the game has gone on to be heralded as a triumph by even the most decorated veterans of the Call of Duty battlefield and somehow silenced the many naysayers that usually emerge from the thicket for CoD franchise launches.

While this would normally be a breath or fresh air for me, I, for once, just don’t understand the unwarranted fanfare. This turning of the proverbial…
EA FC 25 is finally here and marks the start of new paths! When the EA and FIFA partnership met a bitter end, the development giants carried on regardless by giving the hugely popular franchise a brand new name: EA FC. For some, the end of the long-standing collaboration marked the demise of a beloved era of soccer gaming and trepidation was quick to set in. However, from the ashes a phoenix arose. EA FC 24 was the answer to prayers, the world over, as the game adopted the familiar tones of the previously doomed FIFA games. Losing only the rights to include a World Cup tournament once every four years, EA rolled out more of the same, much to the delight of the FIFA…
