Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Review
Time to dive into Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, which was developed by Nihon Falcom and published by NIS America and released on PC on 6 July 2021. Are you guys ready for this one? After the amazing experience I had with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA (which I also reviewed right here: LINK), my expectations were really high this time!Once again, we’re back with Adol Christin, the red-haired adventurer. This time, he arrives in the city of Balduq… and gets arrested right away. Not a great start, huh? But quite interesting, at least for me...But things became even more crazy, a mysterious woman named Aprilis gives him
Mars Attracts Review
Not a fan of micromanaging cities, skylines, water parks and theme parks? The hustle and bussle of common rabble just not nearly entertaining enough to keep you invested? Well, fear not. The folks over at Outlier Games have had a little something brewing in the Workshop, and it just hit Early Access. If you've ever wondered what Martians do for entertainment, you're about to get a front row seat. Mars Attracts is a park management sim that is set in the absolutely iconic universe of Mars Attacks, and you are really in for a treat. The same can't be said, however,
Bendy: Lone Wolf Review
From the delightful minds at Joey Drew Studios comes yet another title following up the Bendy and the Inky Machine IP. In an interesting departure from what most come to expect (a first person adventure they have become known for), Bendy: Lone Wolf follows Boris and his daily grind. And make no mistake: "Every Day is a Challenge". In a Top-Down Rougelike Hack-and-Slash, the formula is something that may cater to a different audience that the original IP. I was more than eager to step into Boris' shoes while he roamed the studio, so I dove in head-first.Keep your eyes out
Somber Echoes Review
Somber Echoes is a platform heavy side-scrolling Metroidvania with progressive mechanics and an extensive interconnected maze of a world to explore. It feels a bit like playing Ori, if Ori was set in a dark, mostly destroyed spaceship and had multiple endings, each with their own boss battle. Co-developed by Norwegian based indie Rock Pocket Games and Lav Games, it’s part sci-fi, part post apocalyptic, and also draws from Greek and Roman mythology for both the story and impressive 2.5 D visuals built in Unreal Engine 5. It was originally released for PC on January 21st and later on PS5 and Xbox
