Another one of these games that I do not remember purchasing. However, Steam remembers it as September the 30th of 2019, and I will take its word for it.But, this is also another one of these games I will tell you to steer clear of, and this time it's not because the game is bad. … Continue reading Abscond – XiNFiNiTY Games & Asset Flipping

Big Potato TV (Pack 1)
I have started to get cheeky and going direct to source when I see games I want to try. As HUGE weekly lovers and players of Jackbox games I am always on the look out for more of the community party vibe games that we can all share & play together. You can see our … Continue reading Big Potato TV (Pack 1)
Abst Clicker Farm
Saying this right here first before I write anything, as I know that the amount I write can prevent people from seeing how I feel about this game. Do not buy this. At any cost.Do not.If you're an unlucky sod who has this in their steam library already due to buying 150 game bundles off … Continue reading Abst Clicker Farm
Undertale
NOTE: There will be a few spoilers in this review. Not major spoilers, but more to do with the core functioning of the game and not to do with the story.Mentions: EXP, LV(LOVE), Training Dummy, Nature of the game's “life lessons”, all gameplay routes, that some characters die (but not specified which do), and a … Continue reading Undertale
Dark Dragonkin
Dark Dragonkin is one of the first games that I have had the pleasure of redeeming from Lurkit. Being one of only 4 games that I was eligible to redeem, I poured all my hope into the one and only Lurkit games available to me that didn't look like a mobile game port. This description … Continue reading Dark Dragonkin
Árida: Backland’s Awakening
ARIDA: Backland's Awakening is an open world game that I was really looking forward to, I saw on Keymailer and immediately requested it. It's a desert/backlands survival game where you have to keep tabs of your food and hunger while trying to reach a specific place, also picking up side-quests along the way. (Reminding me … Continue reading Árida: Backland’s Awakening
The backlog
As I write this I know I am doing so with over 20 games yet to be played and two I still haven't reviewed. The backlog is fucking real. The backlog demands sacrifice. For me, the sacrifice is going to be a Jackbox night, having now streamed over 460 hours (yes really) of the community … Continue reading The backlog
Vampire The Masquerade – Bloodhunt
I have a total thing for Vampires, I grew up with Buffy on my TV and reading Anne Rice before finding (and falling in love with) The Sookie Stackhouse series (aka True Blood) so I get a bit exciting by anything remotely neck-bitey adjacent. I think the peeps in Lurkit knew this because VTM - … Continue reading Vampire The Masquerade – Bloodhunt
Will you Snail?
I've developed a thing for snails. Wait, that sounds wrong - but after Nobody Saves the World, I appreciate that snails have a fair and valid place in games rather than being garden lurkers who munch my plants and leave shiny trails everywhere. House Shiney is HUGE on platformers too, so when we saw this … Continue reading Will you Snail?
Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes
Gamers of a certain age (like me) might have incredibly fond memories of the Windows pinball game 3D Pinball Space Cadet. Digital pinball games can be magical when they are done right, as my long standing love for this game shows. So colour me intrigued when I saw a zombie based one and thought what … Continue reading Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes
Citywars Tower Defense
I love tower defence games, I really do. One of them (geoDefense) was the WHOLE reason I brought my first iPhone back in 2008, yes really.They are addictive with the right amount (when done properly) of strategy and puzzle fun where you can really find ways to efficiently beat every wave or level. At least … Continue reading Citywars Tower Defense
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
As far as I am concerned the best DLC from Borderlands 2 was Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, that is a hill I am prepared to die on, leave me there, know it was worth it.It was such an epic and funny breath of fresh air in what was already an epic game and … Continue reading Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
Unturned
Okay, so this game review is kind of a long time coming. Unturned is a game that I've spent countless hours in. Excluding the games that I used to play on my Xbox back in the day, when hours weren't counted, and you couldn't see how addicted to a game you really were.It goes as … Continue reading Unturned
Alchemy Garden
I am completely in love with this game, and the game is still in Alpha. How is this possible? Oh yeah, a combination of things I've always loved, a concept that's always worked and the fact that the dev/devs are seriously putting in a lot of effort into the game. This game certainly enters my … Continue reading Alchemy Garden
The other games we play
As a gamer, gaming is a huge part of my life, as I expect it is for any gamer to be honest, so how else does it get into our daily lives? And I don’t just mean constantly chatting about and playing games, I mean how gaming changes the way you go about your day… … Continue reading The other games we play
Urban Flow
On a first for the Shiney fam, I am now able to stream Switch games - so when I saw this cute but simple little offering on Lurkit, I had to give it a go. You can see my first play here. Urban flow starts off really chill, you control the traffic and there are … Continue reading Urban Flow
Gamers Thumb
Anyone who has ever played on a console should instantly have an idea as to what I’m aiming at here, for those that don’t I shall elaborate. Gamer’s thumb is typically a condition associated with certain types of console gaming, for me it started off with fight sims (Tekken, DoA, Street Fighter etc) and then … Continue reading Gamers Thumb
Survival quiz CITY
This crazy colourful game captured my attention as it was something new I could bring to my community and play with them. I was more than over joyed when I was able to get not ONE but TEN keys via Lurkit for this game and you can see us play it for the first time … Continue reading Survival quiz CITY
Browser Based Games
With a whole world of shiny high spec PC’s and consoles practically being able to do everything except the washing up, it’s easy to forget the simple gaming pleasures the internet can bring; and I don’t just mean flash games that amuse you for a day when your avoiding work, I mean the ones you … Continue reading Browser Based Games
Backseat Gamers
I’ve been aware of this annoyance for years, but I thought it was just concentrated to my household when I was young, where mum would walk by me sat on the floor playing Tomb Raider and ask why I was taking the long way round when there obviously an easier way out (she wasn’t aware … Continue reading Backseat Gamers
VHS
So many games try to capture what Dead by Daylight (for the most part) has done fairly well (the game is not without its issues mind you). When VHS popped up in beta, house Shiney got a little bit excited. It is still in early access/beta at the moment and the only way to get … Continue reading VHS
Hidden Shelter
Back ages ago, before I'd even met @shineycat, I played a game called Pacify with one of my old buddies on her stream. She absolutely crapped herself, while I remained completely calm for most of the game. Also, under reacting to the ghost chasing me, which led to my friend getting more of a fright … Continue reading Hidden Shelter
Pets at work
I think by now you should all be fully aware of how much House Shiney loves Nibb games.So far we have loved, played and completed Kinduo and we still now go to back The Psychoduck. We had Pets at work on our Steam wishlist ready to rock, and no sooner had it been released on … Continue reading Pets at work
Midnight: Submersion – Nightmare Horror
I think the steam review by nbartley1998 sums this game up completely. "Load gameConfused immediatelyWalk outsideNo directiveGet punched by slappy the dummyUninstall game10/10" Once again, another horror game that I was excited to play, once again another horror game that I have uninstalled and will never touch again. Keymailer once again has supplied me with … Continue reading Midnight: Submersion – Nightmare Horror
Pizza Connection 3
I love pizza, like I really love pizza and despite my inability to be able to correctly name each to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I could make honorary membership based on my pizza consumption alone. I also really love the Overcooked series (because food) so when I saw this pop up on Lurkit and … Continue reading Pizza Connection 3
