Some of you may have noticed that whilst I have played at least 7 new games as part of first play Thursday recently - I am yet to follow these up with reviews. Sadly, the bottom line is I haven’t enjoyed a huge amount of the new games recently. Rather than just force myself to … Continue reading In the mood to review

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
Propnight
I think by now you guys are well and truly versed in my love-hate-love relationship with Dead by Daylight but sometimes those hate phases really vex me and I wonder if the game (or elements thereof) could be done better. When I saw this game I was drawn to the fact its both similar and … Continue reading Propnight
Computer Tycoon
After loving Start up Panic and be reminded of how much I loved Game Dev tycoon, seeing this pop up was an obvious choice. You can see my first play here. This has got the vibes of the Windows 3.1 era of development and way back to the times when Jobs, Gates & Wozniak actually … Continue reading Computer Tycoon
Purry Furry Adventurry
The title drew me in, as did the idea I was cat going to wreck the city trying to escape my owner (I was assuming she was some overbearing Elmyra Duff type, so I decided to give it a go. You can see my first play here. What immediately made us giggle where the graphics. … Continue reading Purry Furry Adventurry
Mongrel – Early Access
You know I love South Park, right? So when the main premise of this game is dealing with trouble makers who get flushed down the toilet (howdy-how!) - I had to. You can see my first play here. The story for this game is dark and detailed, but we love it. The intro video was … Continue reading Mongrel – Early Access
Kamikaze Veggies – Early Access
I remember learning what Kamikaze meant when I was about 12. I was a on report at school for being a little shit and my music teacher at the time asked my why I was on a Kamikaze mission to get myself into as much trouble as possible.Now I can do it as a vegetable... … Continue reading Kamikaze Veggies – Early Access
Reds Adventure – A Seasons New Beginning
You know we love a good platformer in house Shiney and its been a little while since we played one. So when I saw this on Keymailer I was curious and had to give it a go.You can see our first play here. This was not the magical joy of platformer like Auro the Bunny, … Continue reading Reds Adventure – A Seasons New Beginning
I’ve Seen Everything
If you know the channel I suppose you could say with my enormous propensity to overshare that you have in fact probably heard everything by now (you haven't, there is always more) but have you SEEN everything?No?We haven't either so when Keymailer popped up with this offering, of course we had to get it. You … Continue reading I’ve Seen Everything
Nelson and the Magic Cauldron
This is not a game I would have usually requested but I was quite happy to see the little 'pre-approved' labelled on it when scrolling through keymailer, so I decided to have a look. You can see my first play here. I was surprised to find this was the second game in this series. Why? … Continue reading Nelson and the Magic Cauldron
Not for broadcast
Having really enjoyed Organs, Please the idea of being a media puppet master totally appealed to me. So I requested this from Keymailer to see what it would be like, you can see my first play here. Not since the 2015 Need for Speed game have I seen live action people in a game, and … Continue reading Not for broadcast
Hidden Deep
Creepy tunnels? Possible death? Two-play local co-op so I can throw a rubber chicken at duck when he gets us killed?Sign me up! You can see our first play here. This game lied to me from the very start. Rich dark sci-fi story. The story pays tribute to 80's and 90's games and movie classics like … Continue reading Hidden Deep
Olli Olli World
Not since the days of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and (what I felt was the superior) Grind Session, have I played a game involving skateboards. So after a nearly 20 year break from the genre I was interested to see this colourful offering pop up on keymailer, naturally I asked for it and was lucky … Continue reading Olli Olli World
Make your Kingdom
I still hold out hope that I can find a good indie settlement builder game om Keymailer, despite my utter dislike of both Noble fates and Medieval Trader Simulator. When I saw Make your kingdom I was once again renewed with my spark of hope and decided to request it and give it a go.You … Continue reading Make your Kingdom
Organs Please (Demo)
We are no stranger to games published by HeroCraftPC having recently reviewed the Catizens demo. With the little known techhome developing it this is a totally different game to what we have seen previously from HeroCraft, so decided it was worth requesting.You can see our play through here. Long story short, we love this game.It … Continue reading Organs Please (Demo)
Startup Panic
This reminded of Game Dev Tycoon back from 2013, so when I saw this on Keymailer, I had to request.You can see the first play here. Basically the game blurbs covers most of it so I am just going to break down how each part played into the overall experience. You decide how each project … Continue reading Startup Panic
Bunny Memory
Our second ever PS4 Keymailer game comes courtesy of Dilly frame in the form of BUNNIES (most of their games have bunnies, I don't know why, just go with it).You can see the first and completed play here. So what is it? Simply put it is a memory game involving bunnies.It has both local (split … Continue reading Bunny Memory
Crystal Clash
Two words - tower defence. At least that's the lie I was sold when I found this game on Keymailer. You can see my first play here. I'll be honest, it lasted longer than it should have done. According to the game blurb it boasts: Completely free-to-playFucking good job to be honest.Short, intense 2v2 and … Continue reading Crystal Clash
The story of Bill Bear
When i first saw this on Keymailer, I thought this could be like Limbo, its simple mostly black & white graphics and the promise of a visual novel. You can see the first play here. When is a game not a game? When is a novel not a novel? IN THIS digital offering which is … Continue reading The story of Bill Bear
Bash the Teacher! – Classroom Clicker
As a former teacher I was interested in the premise of the game and so when I saw it on Keymailer, I decided asking for it couldn't hurt. You can see the first and completed play through here, and my fucking god - it was a slog. I don't know what I thought this would … Continue reading Bash the Teacher! – Classroom Clicker
Lacuna
I saw this on Keymailer immediately got Blade Runner vibes, so I had to request it.You can see my first playthrough here. Initially I was quite taken with this game, nice basic introduction, lay of the land and characters. Plot of why you are on that plant and remote learning (oh Covid) it was nice, … Continue reading Lacuna
Electrician Simulator – First Shock
I guess I should explain why I chose this game off Keymailer. My dad (when he was alive) was an electrician, and I knew how to change fuses and rewire plugs before I had even started secondary school. I was the only girl in my electronics class (and eventually a sexist teacher forced me to … Continue reading Electrician Simulator – First Shock
Rimebeard
I have mentioned it before, I have developed a massive soft spot for these little games, especially when they look so damn cute. So when I saw this on Keymailer it was an obvious choice to request.You can see my first play here. I quite like the premise of the ice wizard, its simple - … Continue reading Rimebeard
