Join the Airborne Rangers!

I noticed this little gem on X while scrolling through my usual junk. It’s a reimagining of a game from all the way back in 1987, called Airborne Ranger. And from what I have read, and seen from the trailers, it sure looks promising. A friend I showed the game to said it reminded him of Hidden & Dangerous, mixed with Men of War. I have to say, I agree with him, but I would like to add some Metal Gear Solid V into this blend. Airborne Ranger: FightOut promises a lot – from stealth, to tactical milsim stuff, all made for either solo play, or co-op up to four players. Since we haven’t had a good game in this style for ages, I’ll stay optimistic and look forward to it! I must add that it’s not out yet, and I didn’t notice a date anywhere. But I have a feeling we won’t have to wait for long. Check out the trailer below.

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun – Green Armageddon

Climb into your Tiberium proof suit, because we are heading for the ecological apocalypse of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. This is one of the more unique settings of the franchise, a setting that unfortunately fell off a little in the future games. In Tiberian Sun we get to experience battles in the Tiberium wastelands of Earth in this direct sequel. And what a sequel it is. Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn was a cool game, and certainly sets up the story and lore. However, compared to Tiberian Sun it feels a little mundane looking back, seeing as that conflict took place in the 90s with mostly conventional weapons and vehicles. Tiberian Sun is a totally different beast that plays into what I love about sci-fi with a war theme: a dystopian world, filled with wondrous tech, but rests on the brink of destruction.

Drone Sector – Playtest Impressions

Do you remember the missions in Call of Duty where you controlled a gunship with missiles and 20mm gatling guns? Well, now we have Drone Sector coming with this exact premise, but made into a full experience – with way less scripting and more to play around with. I always thought these missions were fun in the setting of Call of Duty, having the firepower for ultimate destruction from a God’s eye view. So, is the translation to a complete game any fun and worth the effort? Let’s find out.

The Descendant – Blast from the Past

If you ever want to play a somewhat forgotten sci-fi adventure in the style of the Telltale games, I got something special for you. It’s hard not to notice where The Descendant got its inspirations, seeing as many things work exactly like the typical Telltale adventure. It has characters that will “remember” things you do, it has a very heavy focus on story, and it’s fairly easy, going by point & click terms. If you hate these kinds of games, this will do nothing for you. However, if you, like me, loves a good dramatic narrative from time to time that does not have Dark Souls level of challenging gameplay, this is certainly something to pick up.

All Will Fall – Demo Impressions

All Will Fall is a post-apocalyptic settlement builder in a world that looks like something out of the Kevin Costner film Waterworld. In other words: Humanity has suffered a civilization ending event due to increasing water levels, drowning all the Earth’s cities under the icy cold saltwater. As things go, mankind clings on as a pitiful group of survivors tries to make a new home in this wet and doomed world. And it’s here where you step in, having to guide these castaways in rebuilding an existence for the remaining population.
