Insurgency: Sandstorm Review
Published in December 2018, our review of Insurgency: Sandstorm judges it a superb multi-player shooter. The write-up weighs the title’s military simulation approach, analysing both the pitfalls and the successes of its approach to modern combat.
The piece focuses on the simulation side of the experience — how movement, suppression and close-quarters exchanges shape the round — rather than on campaign or single-player content.

GameOz is a games-focused publication built for players who want more than promotional coverage. The site tracks news, reviews, and features across console platforms, with particular attention to the titles that shape how people actually play — from competitive multiplayer shooters to military simulation and sandbox experiences. Coverage spans releases on PlayStation and PC, and the editorial mix is deliberately broad: hard-edged analyses of design systems sit alongside lighter pieces on upcoming events, custom modifications, and community-made missions.
The reviews section reflects that editorial attitude. Each write-up is judged on how a game actually plays rather than on how it is marketed, weighing systems, moment-to-moment feel, and the balance between what succeeds and what falls short. Multiplayer shooters, tactical titles, and open-ended sandbox worlds all get room to be examined in depth, and verdicts are framed honestly — praising genuinely enjoyable releases while calling out the traps and pitfalls that reviewers elsewhere tend to gloss over. The tone is conversational and gamer-first.
Beyond reviews, GameOz keeps an eye on the wider industry: hardware and console developments, studio announcements, patches and balance changes, and the people behind the games. That broader coverage matters because it gives readers context for the judgements made in each review — understanding why a title was built a certain way, or how updates have reshaped it after launch. The site is designed to be read regularly, with a clean, modern layout, comfortable typography, and clearly separated sections that make browsing simple on any screen.
