The Expanse: Osiris Reborn – Gameplay [Trailer]

I’m a few days late to the party, but here we finally have gameplay for the upcoming RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Now, I’m not entirely convinced it contains enough gameplay to technically qualify as one, yet what little is shown is pretty darn good. It looks like the modern Mass Effect game that we never got, but we all yearned for. The only thing that earned a strong dislike from me is the floating health bars, so I really hope they make an option to turn that off. 

Overall, it’s looking very intriguing, essentially what I want from a pop-a-mole in space. Not to forget, the Expanse universe is an excellent space opera setting that is similar to the universe of Mass Effect (in tone), so the devs have plenty of cool stuff to pick from. Check out the trailer after the click!

Singularity – In Mother Russia, Time Clocks You [Review]

Welcome to Singularity, a game with serious time shenanigans, horrible mutants with a taste for human flesh, and masses of Soviet soldiers out to kill you—both futuristic and classic brown-shirted ones from the past. The plot isn’t overly complicated, but it’s a bit of a mess when you start to think about it, especially if you are sensitive to media tackling time travel. However, being a Call of Duty style shooter, you don’t actually have to give that much of thought, since you are here to blast things to kingdom come—regardless of which timeline the enemy belongs to.

Stargate SG-1: The Alliance Trailer – Cancelled Game [Video]

Recently, I stumbled across information that there was a Stargate SG-1 game in the making, but for whatever insane reason, it was cancelled. Another sweet dream dead, because there aren’t many games set in this rich and wonderful universe. From what I know, we have the fan-made Stargate: Adventure, which is fine but very short. And Stargate: Timekeepers, a Commandos-style trial-and-error game that I didn’t like, nor did I play much at all, hence no review.

Slim pickings, which makes this gaming betrayal sting even harder. It was going to be a first‑person, squad‑based shooter where you get to control the legendary SG-1 team. Just check out the awesome trailer (and more) after the jump!

D.O.R.F. Real-Time Strategic Conflict – Kickstarter!

This Kickstarter came as a surprise to me, as I thought D.O.R.F. was one of those games that was self‑financed and soon ready to go. But oh how wrong I was, because just recently they launched their Kickstarter campaign. It’s going really well at over 100% funded already when writing this post. This announcement also comes with a Kickstarter trailer, which you can watch after the click. It looks fantastic, appearing to become a great throwback to the RTS games of old. However, the estimated delivery date is Aug 2028.

Ouch! So it’s not a game around the corner exactly. But if you want them to take the project full‑time, make sure to send them some money!

Mesektet – Demo Impressions

Mesektet is an upcoming point & click adventure game that best be likened to the classic title Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis—at least, in vibes and atmosphere. That’s the impression I got after giving the short demo a go, but I would argue that it’s perhaps a bit more on the serious side, as the LucasArts masterpiece can come off as a comedy at times.
