Echoes of the Living – Early Access Impressions

Let’s just start by saying: Wow, what a conflicting experience Echoes of the Living has been. While the devs (a couple) behind the game really poured everything they’ve got into the game, and succeeded going by classic survival horror standards—I can’t help but feel a peculiar tedium wash over me after giving it eight hours. Hence, my inner conflict. See, I recognize it’s a well-made game (especially after the major 0.1 Save update), but my mind just constantly wanders off during play—hitting me with questions like: Am I wasting my time here?

Pragmata Sketchbook – Demo Impressions

Yes, I’m as surprised as you. A demo for an upcoming AAA game? Yeah, it’s an oddity in both regards—me playing a new AAA game and that a big publisher in this day and age actually releasing a demo. What stunned me even more is that I found Pragmata Sketchbook genuinely entertaining. Two things had me questioning the game going in: the little girl companion, and that the combat has puzzle elements right in the middle of the third-person shooting.

Gothic 1 Remake – A release date, finally [Trailer]

Finally, we get a release date for the Gothic 1 Remake, which will be the 5th of June. I wouldn’t say it’s close, but I’m almost certain it will be a great summer RPG. Something to sit down and play while dodging the unbearable anti-gamer heat. They released a trailer for this occasion, where we can see that they have fixed the controversy by making Gomez’s ladies hot again. This can be spotted at 1:28 minutes into the trailer. Overall, it’s a nice trailer that sets the mood, but I’m a bit worried if my system can run it at 60 FPS without melting the GPU. Trailer after the jump!

Replaced – Demo Impressions

Sometimes you just want to experience the classics, and what’s more classic than fighting a corrupt corporation in a decayed cyberpunk future? At least, that was the impression I was getting from being dropped smack down in the middle of things in the demo. Replaced is a 2.5D action platformer, in which you fight weird cannibal-like mutants, while traversing the ruins of a futuristic city—what’s not to like?

Vultures: Scavengers of Death – Demo Impressions

Turn-based gameplay in a classic setting of survival horror—now that’s an unusual twist. I’m glad to report that Vultures: Scavengers of Death makes it work splendidly. So, prepare yourself to dodge, headshot zombies, look for loot, and read final messages of bite victims’, but all in a turn-based manner from a top-down view.
