Dragon’s Dogma 2 (Quick Impressions)

The first Dragon’s Dogma was a real gem. I played it first on the Xbox 360, but the performance was abysmal on that console. It ruined the experience back then, which led to me never finishing it. However, the Steam release that came many years later saved it and showed me the true potential of the game. It had a few quirks and faults, but overall, it was a fun and pretty unique experience. Especially the pawn system. So, with Dragon’s Dogma 2 coming out, I couldn’t help but get it on release.

Alone in the Dark – Black Goat Country

There is no denying that the reboot of Alone in the Dark takes heavy inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft, which sadly most of the time falls short when it comes to gaming. However, this time around, I’m happy to tell you that Alone in the Dark does a slamdunk when it comes to tickling the old cosmic horror bone. You who know your Lovecraft lore probably won’t be too surprised by what is being presented. Regardless, it’s a superbly told story that takes the dark juicy parts – the parts drenched in unfathomable dread, and runs home with it. What is doubly impressive is that this remains consistent throughout the game, all the way to the end.

Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy – New upcoming RPG!

Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy is a new upcoming RPG that takes heavy inspiration from the first (and best) Baldur’s Gate. It’s made by the developers AtomTeam, which in the past has created such titles as ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game and ATOM RPG: Trudograd. So, it’s not some random dudes trying to break in with the fancy idea of RPG throwback – it’s a genuine thing that gives me confidence that it will be a fine product. They recently released a gameplay trailer that you can watch below.

Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance (still not a review)

As promised, I decided to give Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance another go, and right from the onset, I felt way more in tune with the gameplay and story. In other words, I was having fun, even on realistic, which is the hardest difficulty setting. On a side note, the reason I play on “realistic” is that I don’t enjoy it when games give me extra protection. In realistic mode, everyone takes the same amount of damage. It’s something of a pet peeve of mine. I even made a mod back in the day for Men of War: Assault Squad 2 since its difficulty slider was broken. In that game, your men are basically super soldiers from a Marvel movie, and if you increase the difficulty, which to be fair fixes the issue, the game starts to spam enemy tanks every ten seconds. Not so much fun. I fixed this in my mod by making equal and fair damage across the board for all units on lower difficulties. No bonuses and no spam! Anyway, back to Terminator.

Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline

The original Watch Dogs: Legion (Watch Dogs 3) was a bit of a hit or miss. It had serious potential with its sandbox nature of recruiting whoever you wanted off the street to work for your little hacker revolution. However, the implementation wasn’t great. It suffered from weird randomization, like having characters’ looks not matching the voice, massive story issues, and the lack of a central protagonist. The near-future City of London was and still is awesome. It has this cool dystopian feeling to it, with high surveillance and military-esque police patrolling the streets. It got a surprising number of things right. For example, the checkpoint system that now is a reality in London – all for the concerns of the mythical “environment”. All in all, a realistic depiction of the WEF future we all have to look forward to, so what’s not to like? Everyone enjoys a good despair from time to time.
