Hypogea — Vaulting for Freedom [Review]

Who knew that even robots made for war and industry don’t like to live in vast underground rusty metallic tunnels—left to rot after the end of humanity. I can’t say I blame the poor things, since while these massive subterranean constructions look wondrous and are very atmospheric—they have an air of decay to them, as they’re all that’s left of a bygone era. With that, welcome to the review of Hypogea, which is a moody third-person platformer set underground, with no voice-acting, and no enemies—except the water that will rust your bolts within seconds if you miss that crucial jump!

Terminator 2D: NO FATE – Launch Trailer [Trailer]

Boy, this one looks fun! Especially for someone that adores the two first movies. While I find Terminator, the better film of the two, Terminator 2 is no slouch when it comes to the action. Terminator 2D: NO FATE is essentially the whole plot line of the sequel—now in the form of a sleek looking 2D platformer made in exquisite pixel art. The atmosphere, world detail and the animations look to be absolutely top-notch going by the trailer. It’s set to release in two days (12th) from now on Steam—so make sure to warm up the mini-gun in time! Check out the cool trailer after the jump.

Syndicate – Corporate Assassin [Review]

Syndicate is the 3D visualization in the form of a first-person-shooter and reboot of the classic game from 1993 with the same name. While I think Starbreeze (the devs) managed to capture cyberpunk aesthetics and the dystopian corporate warfare, the story could have been a lot better. It’s somewhat disappointing, considering the rich setting the game has to pick from. What’s much better is the gameplay. However, this part is not without problems either, even if it’s fun. Before diving into the story and gameplay details, we will have to go over some technical hurdles!

Arma Reforger: Operation Omega – Back to 1989, baby! [Review]

Finally, Bohemia Interactive decided to release something for us single-player addicts—in the form of a mini-campaign doing commando stuff behind enemy lines. This, naturally, caught my attention, since so far the multiplayer-focused Arma Reforger has not interested me much—beyond a vague curiosity in testing the new and supposed improved engine, that is. So, was it worth the purchase? Read and find out!

Echoes of the Living is out in Early Access!

The survival horror Echoes of the Living is finally out in Early Access! EA, you might sigh, but to be fair, it’s a different kind of EA, as the game is apparently complete. At least one campaign is, while the second one still needs some more work on. This is according to the developers, anyway. It just seems to me that there might be a few issues with the game, as a string of patches has been released since it came out. Maybe not everything is hunky-dory—so a tiny warning.

Beyond this, the game looks excellent, and it comes with an opening discount that lasts until the tenth of November. It rests at a respectable 81% approval rate currently, which is pretty good. Down below, you will find the latest trailer!
