CyberHive

CyberHive is an excellent but challenging sci-fi title. Its resource management elements and layers of luck will have you cursing every poor choice. However, this makes it moreish and addictive. Sadly, its initial data dump was tough to swallow, but work through it and you'll experience a great title. + Nice and simple pixel graphics. + Dated but well-thought-out audio. + Simple controls. + Addictive gameplay. - The initial data dump is a little overwhelming. (Rating: PEGI 12 Sexual Innuendo Release date: 17/06/2022 Price: £6.99) (Reviewed on the Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox One, PC (Steam), macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5)
