Sugardew Island PS5 Review

Sugardew Island on PS5 is a nice treat sent my way by Rokaplay. All I really knew about it was it was a cozy farm shop game. The results were pleasantly nice.

You start the game as a female character (Sorry anti-woke brigade, this can’t be changed, go cry somewhere else, the rest of us don’t care) and you can give her a cute outfit. From here she will crash and end up on a not-so-deserted island surrounded by thorns. Your job is to use your farm and store to revitalize the island.

Unlike most games like this, you start off with a huge area you can farm, and you can buy animals right from the start. The limited stamina will hold you back though. This is increased simply by doing things. You improve the island by doing missions for the magical tree in the center of the island where Hare lives.

Hare doesn’t like humans, they screwed up the island in the first place with their greed. Hare does become more receptive to you as you accomplish missions and unlock more and more things such as different seeds, new tools, and bigger houses and shops for yourself. To achieve this you sell crops (well anything honestly, I sold extra wood once) at your store to the sprites that live on the island. This grants you harmony towards the missions.

Now I know many times I give my trophy hunter readers a heads up, and this game has some easy trophies. sell 250 of certain crops, or finish all the missions none of which are hard. The game does NOT contain a platinum trophy however.

So is this game worth your time? Truthfully for you more hardcore farming sim fans, no. A lot of the bells and whistles you have come to expect are missing. There is no fishing for example and while there are people to have a sort of romance with there are only 4 options. But if you are just looking for a casual farming sim to relax after a hard day of work, this game is great. I can’t wait to see what future updates might bring, it is a solid 8/10 game. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

1.1 Update For Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop Introduces New Ways To Work And Play

For those of you who remember my review of Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop Review (Steam) and decided to give it a go, the new 1.1 update is out and features some new ways to play the game, below are some of the details and the trailer. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The update introduces seven brand-new vending machines and five powerful omen upgrades, giving players even more ways to customise a run. Working with the existing Frantic (timed) and Focused (untimed) game modes, these new additions offer different ways to get s**t done!

The new vending machines provide valuable buffs, from increasing job earnings to boosting the likelihood of attracting customers from a specific faction, while the new omen upgrades deliver game-changing advantages – like the ability to survive a fatal job – ensuring every run feels fresh and rewarding.

In addition to the new upgrades, the update brings a host of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable repair journey.

Cabin Crew Life Simulator Early Access (Steam Review)

Some of you may have noticed I seem to have hit a sort of simulator era in life. I didn’t plan this, but people seem to want me to play them lately. I first heard of Cabin Crew Life Simulator sometime in 2024, and Soga Studio was kind enough to send me a copy.

The game starts off simple: design yourself a flight attendant, pick an outfit, and go to the airport for work. There is hidden option number two, however. test what the game will let you do, and send her to work in her underwear. I figured the game would not allow this, I was wrong.

So after I sent Matty to the airport in a cute black bra and panty number, she had to go through security. Not a single person seems to notice her lack of clothing. This isn’t a joke, that’s how she is dressed and they do make you go through security. This is a simulator after all.

I then start getting the plane ready for take off. I check to make sure the safety equipment is ready, and I have water and tissues ready for the flight. You start working on small aircraft so there isn’t a lot. This helps you earn money for new clothes, that I quickly use to actually dress my flight attendant. Nobody seems to care she has no clothes on, but I didn’t expect the game to allow this level of freedom.

Bigger Planes let you serve Coffee, tea, and real food

The game itself functions pretty well, I didn’t run into any sort of game-breaking bugs. That isn’t to say bugs don’t exist, there are some there. I have seen people walk through chairs and walls on occasion. These seem to have been worked out even since I got the game and before I wrote this, however, your help from other crew members seems to be non-existent, I really don’t know why they exist.

The game also seems to just abruptly end after 5 or 6 flights with no endless mode as of yet. That is coming in a future update, it just isn’t here yet. That being said, The game still has 10-15 hours of gameplay in it as of right now and it costs $13 so there is some value there for what you pay. The Steam reviews are mostly positive for a good reason. It is a 7/10 experience with some great potential. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Trolls Vs Vikings Reborn (Steam)

Trolls Vs Vikings Reborn was sent to me by the fine folks at Megapop. I have to say, I wasn’t sure what to expect besides it being similar to Plants vs Zombies and honestly, that is exactly how this place. You set a miner up to dig up rocks that act as food so you can feed more trolls. They all do something different, my favorite lets you move him back and forth as he punches Vikings.

The story itself isn’t bad, A mysterious figure convinces the Vikings that the trolls have gold lying around and they will be rich if they come over and take it. Vikings being what they are, invade. A little troll girl overhears the conversation and warns them. This results in the Trolls having time to meet the Vikings for battle, which looks like a yard.

Now this would be fine, plenty of games follow a similar formula as other games, but the formula needs to work and work well. Happily Trolls vs Zombies Reborn is a 6 dollar game, which while more expensive than Plants vs Zombies, is a new experience that plays just as well. It is a 7/10 experience for me. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Blow It Up (PS5 Review)

Blow It Up is a physics destruction game sent to me by Brain Seal. Anyone familiar with the Angry Birds craze will instantly know how to play this game and what it is about. You aim, fire, knock over a structure, and kill some aliens.

There are 7 different, let us call them people, to throw at these structures all with different abilities. Some will simply move faster others explode or act as a bombers and just drop bombs in a row. They are easy and quick to unlock.

The game admittedly does not look the best, but for what they are going for and it being a budget title I don’t think it is fair to expect it to. Graphically it looks as good as it needs to. The sound is also solid, with explosions being satisfying and walls crashing down feeling like they have some weight to them.

My only real gripe was occasionally if you want to restart a mission you failed to succeed I did experience a couple of crashes and freezes, this was easily avoided tho by being careful when you pause.

The game is simple, and kind of short, it is also only about $8 so realistically the real question is, is it worth that price point? It has around 70 levels which is more than enough to keep you occupied for a few hours trying to collect gold trophies on all of them, there are gold coins to collect as well. The platinum is pretty simple so for hunters that will be an incentive. All in all, it is an 8/10 game. I had fun with it, it did a great job capturing that angry bids feel without completely ripping off the game. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Monster Hunter Wilds (PS5)

What is there to say about this game that hasn’t been said by a million others. Is it beautiful? Damn right, it is. Does it control great? Absolutely. Did I drop eleven hours into it the day it launched? No, it was 10 hours 58 minutes, and 47 seconds. Thanks for counting Capcom.

Dude knows what this is and still almost dies because of it

Now, I do have to add this, I played on PS5 and supposedly the PC launch was horrific. I do have a friend playing over on PC, and he hasn’t had any complaints or run into any of the issues you will see on the Steam store. That isn’t to say they don’t exist, he just has a mid-range PC and maybe he is lucky.

Now that the Steam version is out of the way, back to the two other complaints I have seen. The story is easy, and the menu system. I can’t deny the easy part or say it is true, I have been playing Monster Hunter since I can’t remember when each game seems to get easier, and at this point, I haven’t been carted or lost a hunt in wilds yet, and I have finished the story. The menus are also easier to navigate than ever, however isn’t exactly a compliment because they have always been abysmal.

The game, however, is probably the best Monster Hunter to date in terms of gameplay. As an avid hunting horn user this thing has never felt better. They added a few things in Rise and added more here. It is no longer just a buff weapon but a full-on damage dealer as well, without the need to farm for decorations and gear. It isn’t a top-tier damage dealer of course but it is far more viable solo.

If you were considering buying this one but may have been on the fence, it is time to hop off the fence. Join the hunters’ guild and kill some monsters. They deserve it. Ok as always they really don’t and we are probably the bad guys for committing genocide. Regardless, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory,

AI People

AI people is a game that is played in many ways, like The Sims. It seems that you create people that live their lives, either with your help or all on their own. There is one key and major difference. This game is powered by AI technology and has long-term memories that learn through your decisions.

I honestly do not know much about the game, but I am interested in the idea. As someone who has played the Sims since the very first one, I have often wondered what it would be like if I could write my very own story and watch it play out. I also want to know if I could push the designs of the AI, create a bunch of retired police and detectives but one serial killer, and see if they will interact in some way for example.

The only drawback I see to those games isn’t even a drawback, it is played strictly online and is cloud-based and costs $10 a month to play. To me, however, this isn’t any different than any other service game except you don’t have to also buy the game. If that sounds interesting to you maybe go check it out and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Suikoden Star Leap mobile game

Suikoden Star Leap is an upcoming mobile game, with no set release date, that will be free to play and have plenty of microtransactions I am sure. It will also be the first new Suikoden game in about 13 years, the Japan-only Woven Web of Centuries. Not much has been released beyond we will finally know what happened to the Rune of Change, it takes place between Suikoden V and I and Odessa Silverberg will be a main character. ENjoy the trailer below and a short blurb released about some of the main characters. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Hero (voiced by Tomohiro Ono) – The protagonist of this story and son of the village chief, Hou. He is kind, courageous, and charming.
Hisui (voicd by Hika Tsukishiro) – A servant that works in the Hero’s house. Due to reasons unknown, she is suppressing her emotions, however, she is a cheerful and kind girl by nature.
Hou (voiced by Akio Otsuka) – Chief of the village and father of the Hero. He used to be a fiery fighter, but he brought the ruffians together and created a new village. Other than that, his past is shrouded in mystery, but he seems to have relations with many important people in various countries.
Shirin (voiced by Fairouz Ai) – The Hero’s childhood friend. Her high-spirited personality is a mirror to her father’s, who raised her on his own. She sometimes gets caught up in tunnel vision, but her sense of justice is strong.
Shapur (voiced by Takuya Sato) – The Hero’s teacher and butler of the Hou household. He used to be a general. He doesn’t seem to be the kind of person to settle as a butler of a household in a small village…
