Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ is the new story expansion developed by ‘Dambuster studios‘ and published by ‘Deep Silver‘. Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ is said to be coming out the 2nd of November 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker sees the twist that this expansion is bringing. Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ is coming in hot. Let’s take a look.
Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ already has out attention due to one major change that it appears to bring. First and foremost players will get a whole new area to explore and battle in… Malibu. There’s a cult there and off course a billionaire is involved. More like running things. It has been described as a psycho horror dreamscape. This is a whole new storyline and it fits into Dead Island 2 timeline as the ending had players character stay behind to do a search for a specific character. So it fits.
Now time for some new stuff. New weapons. There’s the K-rossbow which is long ranged and described as powerful. There’s another called the “Dead Islands”. That’s now you know it’s crazy powerful as it’s named after the game basically. It’s said to “take the weight off their shoulders whilst they smash undead enemies into oblivion”. There’s also a flame thrower basically called a Hog Roaster. So that’s good to see. Flamethrower vs zombies sounds like fun.
There’s more cards now as well. 8 new cards to be exact. We ain’t saying what they do. Learn for yourself. This techno death cult is going to be a problem. Not for the mighty character that X35 Earthwalker created though. Easy work. For the rest of you Dead Island 2 players, this should be a battle. So get ready to see the cult leader hq… Konstantin’s 1960s modern style villa… which sucks.
We checked out Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ gameplay and it’s what we expected. Sadly it’s so far underwhelming for us. More like standard Dead Island 2… which isn’t bad as Dead Island 2 is an excellent game. We had lots of fun. We were just hoping for things to take a more scary turn. We see some attempts though. Things are definitely darker and there’s some Bramble: The mountain king type stuff going on in there… sort off. Watch out for a pig. Trust us.
Overall Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ looks like it’s going to be a good experience for sure. Dead Island 2 players got something new to look forward to with a whole new storyline. How crazy will this cult be? Will there be new or variants of the zombies? We have questions and will wait to see. The developers ‘Dambuster studios’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will listen up for what this expansion dlc has to offer. Dead Island 2 ‘Haus’ may have a cult in Malibu but they are just small fry compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update is the adventure horror game developed by ‘Blue Isle studios‘. Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update is said to be coming out the 18th of October 2023 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and pc. X35 Earthwalker has stepped on slender man multiple times. He’s not an issue to him. Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update wants to bring some scares and memories. Let’s take a look.
Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update automatically just brings back memories for many gamers. Slender man at one point was very popular and made sure that people stayed out of the woods. X35 Earthwalker still went through a forest. The whole premise was that you collected pages. 8 pages and as you got more and more of them, the slender man was more aggressive, got closer and gave you more issues. Do not look at Slender man and most importantly never touch him either. That’s all.
Then there was Slender: The arrival which was the full fledge game for slender man. You had a story. You had to actually travel somewhere. There was more objectives, usually just finding multiple of something like generators to move on to the next area. There was multiple levels and even. second threat. Some called her kate or something. We do not care. Overall a much better game that the first little test taste for player that was the 8 pages. Slender man still behaved the same way for the most part but Kate was the one who chased you down and you had to deal with her. This means there are expectations for Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update.
Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update is suppose to be a much better version of the previous arrival game… in every way. Read what they said about the game, “official re-imagining and expansion of the original game, featuring a brand-new storyline, new characters, improved visuals, great replay value, and most importantly, survival horror at its best”. Now that is just crazy. If accurate then Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary is clearly not just a remaster. There’s whole new stuff.
What sounds like complete cap right now is that whole “survival horror at its best” part. That’s a mighty claim and we will see for ourselves. New characters which hopefully means slender man has more friends to bring into the party. Hopefully the whole games design makes more sense and they make it more realistic and relatable. Will the adventure take place over a whole town in different areas or will it just be another abandoned factory or whatever.
We checked out some Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update gameplay and it’s what we expected. It looks familiar but a step up in quality. We like how the woods and trees looks. Slender man does look lack buster though. Not intimidating at all. The game definitely looks more expansive. Can’t see what would make this game “survival horror at its best”. There’s a lot to see and we hope that it all gets seen.
Overall Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update looks like it’s going to be a good game. It’s slender man so we know what to expect by now. If you don’t then this might just be a new experience for you. We hop eat escape and encounters are done well. The developers ‘Blue Isle studios’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker aren’t looking forward to this game but we know many are. Slender: The Arrival 10 year anniversary update may have a improved and expanded adventure but it’s not spooky enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Lords of the Fallen (2023) is the new massive action Role Playing Game developed by ‘Hexworks‘ and published by ‘CI Games‘. Lords of the Fallen is said to be coming out the 13th of October 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5 and pc. X35 Earthwalker conquered the first Lord of the Fallen game. Lords of the Fallen coming back bigger and better. Let’s take a look.
Lords of the Fallen (2023) is stepping everything up from the first game, which was a lot of fun, good experience and good game. This new Lords of the Fallen game takes place “more than a thousand years after the events of the first game” in Mornstead. So so much has clearly happened. X35 Earthwalker was a honourable person in the first game and lived through all those many years. For you regular gamer bums out there, you died and will dive into this whole new world… crazy world. So pick up your weapon and get to it… Ready or not.
Now what’s happening? In Lords of the Fallen there’s this demon god called Adyr who was a cruel tyrant. He got defeated. These gods will always come back eventually. Adyr is trying to pull off a resurrection. You as “one of the fabled dark crusaders” is going to stop this… hopefully. So this means players will need to journey through both the realms of the living and the dead which off course will be loaded with threats, dangers and bosses. So expect a big story with lore and encounters.
The enemies are always going to be a big focus of games like this. When you create a big fantasy world, especially a dark world. The expectations for there fore’s and monsters are going to be big. We need dangers of every size. We need creatures that look hellish or cursed. We need threats that can intimidate the player on first sighting. We need foes that can’t be handled and maybe best to avoid… for now. We need things that give chase and punish cocky players. We need things that are deceptive and give players the wrong idea when encountered. There’s so much room for darkness and scary stuff that it has to be used. Lords of the Fallen need an excellent cast of monsters and creatures roaming and alive in this world AND the expectations are higher when it comes to the realm of the dead. We want hellish creatures in the true sense.
Lords of the Fallen now has a “vast, interconnected world, more than five times larger than the original game.” This alone is a big step up from the first game and already changes the experience. We hear there’s going to be lots of NPC quests thanks to there being multiple characters. Who they are, what they say and their behaviour will matter due to the setting here in Lords of the Fallen.
What’s the best thing about Lords of the Fallen? Maybe the fact that you can invite a second player into your adventure in “uninterrupted online co-op”. Why it’s not the best thing though is that it’s online co-op and not local. What is with game developers who lack the wisdom to understand that gamers want to play with family and friends OVER online friends. X35 Earthwalker rather grab a second controller and explore with a sibling over random dan online. MAKE MORE GAMES LOCAL CO-OP!!!
The realm of the living and dead are both big and described as expansive in Lords of the Fallen. They are obviously parallel so maybe remember this. Both have their own style of obstacles. It’s actually quite common sense. The realm of the living will have buildings, groups, intelligent life, armies, wild creatures, curses and stuff you would imagine in a weapon wielding, cursed open field world. The realm of the dead is about the darkness and nightmares. Expect terrors to be there… lurking. By the way, you travel through both realms thanks to your special but dark lantern.
Lords of the Fallen has character customisation. Apparently there’s a “wide array of visuals options”. We will be the judge of that. There’s also 9 character classes. This is actually exciting. They can get so creative with it. Don’t let us down. Some classes are: Rouge, knight and a fire apprentice. Interesting. Like before, players can upgrade their stats, spells, armour and weapons. Lords of the Fallen did have a better system concerning the weapons and stats over Dark souls. We actually preferred Lords of the Fallen over Dark souls as well. Rumour has it, that there are “100s of uniquely brutal weapons”. There are off course spells and attacks of arcane. Very interested to see how spells and arcane is used in Lords of the Fallen especially seeing what Elden Ring did with theirs.
We checked out some Lords of the Fallen gameplay and it’s what we expected. Definitely looking good too. We like the buildings designs of some. The dark looking age is clearly seen. The imagery are still a bit cowardly. There should be more disturbing images for the setting of Mornstead and what it’s gone through historically. Some foes look monstrous but we aren’t intimidated yet. We see snow, mines, destroyed places, burning places, some valley and rocks too. Variety is there. The combat looks familiar. there’s clearly;y a Loy going on here and that’s good to see. Apparently you can “even manipulate the very soul of your foe” thanks to the lantern. We wonder how this will be implemented in a consistent and meaningful way.
Overall Lords of the Fallen is looking like a fantastic game so far. Clearly lots of work went into this and we respect that. We also like the whole death system where if you die, you have one chance to return to the living and you must do so before the creatures of hellish nature get you first. The combat is looking sort of fast paced. bosses will either be around out size or enormous. Hopefully we can meet some characters who become allies. The developers ‘Hexworks’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye on this game. Now Lords of the Fallen (2023) may have a vast deadly world but this world is too safe for work for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Xbox has come a very long way and it shows. So much hard work and yeah, we at X35 Earthwalker are glad to see it. The strongest thing is that there are so many games right now on Xbox. There has been lots of criticism and off course biased takes and reviews. Good logical criticism is always needed to be better. Xbox hasn’t gotten everything right and we see where the issues are. There’s so many games… maybe too many. Let’s take look.
Xbox currently is leading the gaming world. That’s just obvious. Pc doesn’t count as it’s a computer and not a gaming console. Xbox is way ahead of PlayStation right now. People online have said that Xbox has no games. That’s clearly a lie. Been primarily on Xbox this entire time and had so many games to play. There’s actually some more games we wanted to play but don’t have the time. There’s more fun games on Xbox currently than PlayStation. Yeah, the options are huge.
The Xbox Game pass alone puts Xbox on top. Just get into the Xbox Game Pass menu and the selection alone is good enough. There’s casual indie games of different types, like Bejeweled 2 and 3. Horror games like Amnesia the Bunker, amnesia rebirth and the amnesia collection. City or civilisation managing and building games like Airborne Kingdom and Age of Empires. Assassins creed Origins and Odyssey. The banjo kazooie games. Multiple battlefield games. Batman Arkham knights. Multiplayer beat em up games like Battle toads. If you like ‘small person in a dangerous big world’ like Little nightmares then check out Bramble: The Mountain King. Simulation games like Microsoft flight, farming and fishing ones too.
That’s not even everything. Massive multiplayer competitive games like Chivalry 2. Relaxing narrative games like Coffee Talk. Demon slaying hack and slash as Dante Inferno (which we preferred more than God of war). All Dead Space games including Ignition. Zuma and Yuma revenge. Numerous Yakuza games. Wo Long Fallen dynasty. Warhammer 40000: Darktide. Multiple Wolfenstein games like The new colossus and young blood. Vampire Survivors. Totally accurate battle simulator.Rainbow six siege and ghost recon. Titanfall 2. Sims 4.The Texas chainsaw massacre. Party Animals. Numerous Walking dead games.The Outer worlds and The Gunk. Elder scrolls and Terraria. Stranded Deep. Star Wars games like battlefront. survival horror like Signalis. Scorn. Recore: Definitive Edition. Rare replay which contains numerous games like Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Rage, Quake and Prey. Best part is that this isn’t even a quarter of all the games. Plus there are more games and Xbox exclusives coming out. Remember Avowed?
Then there’s massive big games that you can spend hours in like Sea of thieves, Starfield and No Man’s Sky. Tactical turn based game like Phoenix Point and The Lamplighters League. Minecraft of course. Lies of P, Limbo and Gotham knights. Monster Hunter, Among Us, Mortal Kombat 11, Naraka bladepoint. All the mass effect games.Immortal Fenyx Rising and Injustice 2. Hi Fi Rush, Hardspace Shipbreaker, Hellblade Senna’s Sacrifice, Hitman world of assassination, Hollow knight, high on life, and Hot Wheels unleashed. Redfall, Middle earth shadow of war and Ninja garden. Best of all there’s Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Off course the main stars, which are the Halo Games including halo wars, master chief edition and Halo Infinite. There’s much much more.
What has PlayStation got that competes with all of that and it’s system? Even if you say that some games we mentioned are not exclusives and are also on PlayStation the major difference is that you have to pay up front to get the full games. While if you are on Xbox Game Pass, you can play all these games for FREE! So who’s winning? Obvious answer. See it, like it, download it and play it. If you want to own a copy then buy with a Xbox Game Pass discount. A Discount! If you don’t like it then just uninstall it for free as well. xbox Game Pass alone beats the PlayStation and its library.
Thanks to the Xbox cloud system you can play Xbox Game pass games on your own mobile device or tablet. Can PlayStation do that? Only the Nintendo Switch has a counter to this. Maybe PlayStation is currently last place. X35 Earthwalker can go to his mums home, bring his tablet and play Redfall, Fig 2: Melodies of Steel, Starfield, Gang Beasts, Pacman, Plants vs Zombies, Back 4 Blood, Gears 5, Party Animals, Halo Infinite and more. If you have a good amount of data and good device you can play these games on the bus. Yes X35 Earthwalker took the bus one time, long ride and decided to play Streets of Rage 4. Can you do that PlayStation or do you need to buy a hand held console?
At the end of the day, Jesus saves, but also at the end of the day, gamers need to just play games and enjoy them on the platform that you use. Remember what we mentioned earlier… about the biased critics and hate? Yeah there’s lots of that. Even ign, who sucks. If Xbox releases anything, these PlayStation people wish for it to fail and be bad. If they make a great announcement then it gets criticised and downplayed. If they buy a company then they are tyrants/monopoly types who are ruining gaming but before the buying, ignorant people said they have no games. There’s no way for them to win in these peoples opinions. They are a waste of time to take seriously.
Overall this G Blog was simply just to mention many games that Xbox has available and show some support for Xbox and their games, their systems like Xbox Game Pass. It’s good to have something positive put out there, especially in a world loaded with negativity. There’s more on the way and we at X35 Earthwalker are looking forward to it. Nope Xbox may have many great games but none of them are as great as… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Warhammer 40000: Darktide is the big co-op action game developed and published by ‘Fat Shark‘. Warhammer 40000: Darktide is said to be coming out the 4th of October 2023 on the Xbox Series X… finally! We out here waiting for years! Warhammer 40000: Darktide was already out on pc for the pc scumbags. X35 Earthwalker had his eye on this game and avoided all gameplay of it except the initial trailers. Warhammer 40000: Darktide better bring the heat. Here are some quick thoughts. Let’s take a look. [This was suppose to come out earlier]
X35 Earthwalker already has a G Blog on Warhammer 40000: Darktide. Read it here. Warhammer 40000: Darktide is a game we were waiting for. We are excited to play it. Very disappointed to hear that it only came out on pc. Lot of good that did. didn’t hear anyone talking about the game and it has mixed reviews on steam. Now the real platform… Xbox is getting it. We have taken a good interest in Warhammer 40000 games more recently and have been happy with them. Space Marines, Space Hulk Tactics, Inquisitor and Tacticus. Now Warhammer 40000: Darktide will be our next chapter.
Warhammer 40000: Darktide being in the universe that it has. Grimdark and all… we are expecting some brutal stuff. We want to see tyrannids in swarms chewing at our faces. We want to see blood and corpses. We want a variety of powerful weapons and feel in danger. We want it obvious that we are facing powerful foes and fearsome hordes. Warhammer 40000: Darktide better not get wimpy on us and make these battles cheap. We have many thoughts and some questions. A game like this is so easy to get right. So yeah, expectations are high for this game.
Warhammer 40000: Darktide is a 4 player co-op action game. This description alone reminds us of Aliens: Fireteam Elite. A squad who must work together to survive and defeat the hordes of foes. Warhammer 40000: Darktide has been described similarly. The pressure and dangers were certainly on in Aliens: Fireteam Elite. We need that here in Warhammer 40000: Darktide. So yeah, excited. More gamers need to learn to ignore the online critics and groups like ign for their takes on games. Terrible in the past and terrible today. We found and had good fun on many games they all judged incorrectly.
We checked out some Warhammer 40000: Darktide gameplay and it’s what we mostly expected. We know about the four character classes: Psykinetic, Sharpshooter, Skullbreaker and Preacher. Each doing their thing but hopefully the preacher stands out more from the obvious role of the skullbreaker. How many Warhammer 40000 weapons will we actually get our hands on? Will we see the astra military in action? How balanced will things be? We gon find out.
Overall Warhammer 40000: Darktide looks like a very good game. We still have some concerns but it’s something we will see when playing. We already know what character class we will try first. Another big game for Xbox players to dive into and it’s going to be a good time. Yes we are excited. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see all the bloody and ruthless action for ourselves. Now Warhammer 40000: Darktide may have a grim dark universe but it’s all cute stuff in the eyes of… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Trepang2 is an action First Person Shooter game developed by ‘Trepang Studios’ and published by ‘Team17’. Trepang2 is said to be coming out the 2nd of October 2023 on the Xbox Series X and PS5. Trpang2 already came out on pc. X35 Earthwalker never heard of this game before. Time to see. Trepang2 is going for the fast and serious approach. Let’s take a look.
Trepang2 has a simple story here for players. You are an escaped soldier who has no memories of his past life. This soldier also somehow has supernatural abilities. Your mission? Revenge! You gon roll up in there and kill everything and everyone. Why? Revenge! Trepang2 is also set in the distant future. Why? Revenge! Alright we’ll stop.
Trepang2 is all about the action. The story doesn’t matter much at all. It’s about the fast pace movement, the action, the shooting, the guns, the explosions and the kills. There’s lots of blood and some say gore. Enemies will explode in a glorious fountain of red… Well maybe not that but you get the picture.
You fight not just for… Revenge! You also fighting to learn the truth. A group helped you escape so maybe be grateful to them. As you fight to learn more and more… you might just come face to face with a foe or problem that’s a bigger deal than you.
In Trepang2, players have supernatural abilities. We mentioned that. For example superhuman strength and speed. So smashing and charging through armed dudes is easy for you. you can slow down time so that dodging bullets is just a Tuesday for you. Your guy can even cloak. Halo active camouflage type stuff. So yeah become invisible and then grab foes for meat shields, Gears of war style, or straight up execute them… like a good ol fashion neck break.
We checked out some Trepang2 gameplay and it’s not exactly what we expected. Things are quick and definitely bloody. Many guns, grenade launchers, corpses around you, stained walls, numerous enemies but off course all action. Make your way up stairs, kick enemies, throw people, stealth around and charge in. You get what it says on the front of the box.
Overall Trepang2 looks like a very good game. Of course some things need to be cleaned up like the environments and walls especially but you don’t really care too much about that. It’s about the action and this game delivers that. the developers ‘Trepang Studios’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep and eye open for this game. hopefully it brings the real heat now that it will be on console. Trepang2 may have some bloody action but it’s too family friendly for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Starfield is the massive action Role Playing Game that had so many talking about it. Developed by Bethesda and it’s an Xbox exclusive. X35 Earthwalker started his adventure in Starfield and there’s lots happening. There’s lots to say but as usual we gon try keep it on the shorter side. Let’s take a look.
Starfield is more than a good game. It’s an excellent game. Once again we don’t want to hear anything about glitches and bugs as once again that an issue of the pc inferior race. On the Xbox Series X, I haven’t experienced those issues. The most X35 Earthwalker has experienced is two crashes on the same moon when running across the moon surface but never anywhere else. That’s all. Starfield has been a mighty adventure so far. Explored a number of planets, multiple moons, facilities, outposts and more. Know that we are no where near halfway exploration or anything.
Some say that the planets are mostly not interesting which is false as most of the planets we have visited have had flora and fauna and different ones too. Some planets of course aren’t designed to have life. just like in real life. A deep freeze planet isn’t going to have dinosaurs as it’s a frozen gas planet. Sure being a fictional universe it would be nice to see ice creatures and monsters. That would make Starfield better. Those barren planets do have resources to harvest and natural formations to scan and discover and yes, it’s interesting for us. Also some of the planets they claim are empty aren’t planets… they are moons. Know the difference.
The missions are plentiful and some go deeper than initially thought. We get activities that lead to things from something as simple as hearing an npc talk. Then there’s side missions in areas for full on talking to people which can open up more. There’s then quests you find as you jump around space and near planets. You might receive a transmission which you can either respond… either directly or through your actions like landing on the planet. We was near a planet and found a farming family that had a spacers problem and then leads to repairing satellites and some spaceship battles and then a gathering of families and disputes etc. That’s not a main mission by the way. There’s missions you get for joining factions like a free star ranger or the uc vanguard. They have their own missions and they are cool and go way deeper than the initial task. Being a whole quest in themselves. There’s also missions you can get from these stations either for bounties, or tasks for the Constellation. We even got a quest for being observant and found a item that tipped us off about an activity happening in a far away place. There’s so much happening. It’s crazy.
The most annoying thing about star field though has been the weight management. We hated that in Fallout 76 and we hate it here. It’s easier to manage here but we hate all this limited weight. Spent upgrades on max weight carry for this reason and aimed for a bigger ship also for the same reason. We need something infinite or more options for storing stuff as we must collect all these resources as they are all useful for outpost building, crafting and mods. We need them and lots of them. Building the storages at the outposts costs resources too and they aren’t cheap. Those storages need to hold more to be more viable. Such a shame that the weight management is the worse thing about the game so far.
The weapons and gunplay is excellent. There’s many weapons to find and choose from. Submachine guns, single shot rifles, automatic rifles, pistols both heavy single shot and semi automatic. There’s laser weapons, ballistic weapons, particle beam weapons and electromagnetic pulses. Ballistic is basically guns as we know them. Bullets basically. Laser is energy and maybe electrical. Partical beam is a combination of physical and energy damage. Electromagnetic pulse is all about disabling your opponents. Hot them enough times and they will be incapacitated. So pick pocket away. The weapons feels and sound good. The Grendel is definitely ruthless at close range with certain mods. Let’s not forget about melee weapons. We found two awesome blade weapons and they tear the enemies up! There’s skills that upgrades melee giving more damage, damage resistance and even heal as you kill. Crazy huh.
Space ship combat has one big problem though. You turn far too slow in Starfield. It’s hard to track and keep up with certain ships when they turn around and fly off faster than you do. Hopefully the change the turn speed, especially if it’s linked to the type of ship that you have. Another thing we don’t like is how the game gives you a bounty for doing things when there’s no witnesses. There was a rude stranger in this abandoned little outpost and we had our partner wait outside some distance away. X35 Earthwalker went in, close the air lock doors and then killed him quickly. We still got a bounty somehow. There were no cameras. so how does that work. How is it recorded as a crime when no one knows… yet somehow they all know. Maybe it’s just video game logic. Similar thing with contraband. How would the scanner know what contraband is. How do they scan it through my ship and cargo. We are aware of shielded cargo but that’s not the point. We will assume this is just “how it works” in Starfield.
We truly appreciate and enjoy that you can steal ships. That’s how we got our best ship right now. We saw it just sitting there and there was no caption or pilot around or anything. Hacked through the main door. Then explored around and couldn’t take anything as it would be marked as stealing. So went to the cockpit and was surprised that I could sit down. The option to take off was available. Was thinking the game won’t allow this. X35 Earthwalker took off into the space and just like that, the ship was mine. The ability to steal ships is a great option. didn’t spend a pence or dime.
The starting traits do affect some aspects of the game. You can have your parents living in an apartment that you can visit them and sleep in your own bed. You can get a nice house but be in debt. The adoring fan is a real thing and he does have some uses. You can literally start with a bounty and have people after you. You can play as a villain that needs to be stopped or you a good guy with a clean slate. It effects your relationships, persuasion and just the story to some extent.
We even get to see the fauna fight each other. Starfield has a whole food chain system going on. at least amongst the predators and prey. We have seen the corpses of flying fauna and see land predators by the bodies. We have see then actively chase some herding creatures down to kill them. We have seen the prey fight back. It’s good design for these things to happen. We put a video down below to see for yourself. Battles.
Overall we are having a great time in Starfield and it’s what we expected mostly from the game. There’s so much more to explore and discover. Much more missions to complete. More ships to get our hands on. More fauna to scan, fight and loot from. Weapons to get our hands on and improve. Space ship fights to awkwardly win. This game definitely ain’t boring or creatively bankrupted. This game is massive, has lots to offer and different play styles. X35 Earthwalker has many hours in Starfield and plans to spend more hours in on this big space adventure.
Shuyan Saga is a action adventure game developed by ‘Lofty Sky Entertainment’ and published by ‘ESDigital Games‘. Shuyan Saga is said to be coming out on the 22nd of September 2023 on Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4. Shuyan Saga was already out on iOS, Android and pc back in like 2017 or something. X35 Earthwalker like to see what games got and give them a chance. Shuyan Saga trying to wow with the graphics. Let’s take a look.
Shuyan Saga is set in the world of ancient Chinese culture. Shuyan is a princess, of the Chinese imperial family, who wants to be a true kung fu warrior and stop the Guer horde. The Guer horde have made it their goal to destroy the five kingdoms. This is also a personal matter as Shuyan lost everything to the goer invasion. She got to get good and get good real quick. The invasion is only beginning.
We got one question for the wise reader of this G Blog. Who is the real enemy? Hmmmmmm. “Success is not what Shuyan perceived it to be.” This alone should get players thinking concerning the story and the world of Shuyan Saga. The story and adventure revolves around the five kingdoms. Each kingdom was built on the foundations of kung fu. so pay attention to each one’s culture and values. Also take note that the player can make some choices in Shuyan Saga. Your choices just might matter.
The main factor on the table with Shuyan Saga is the martial arts itself. How good is the fighting? The battles have been described as “skill-based”. There’s different fighting styles and each one has their own moves and functions. There are light and heavy attacks, combos of course and special abilities which are said to be powerful. There’s over 300 combat animations and motion capture is involved. X35 Earthwalker is the best at motion capture. Expect unique fights.
We checked out some Shuyan Saga gameplay and it’s not exactly what we expected. It seems like more story book and less gameplay. Yes we are aware it’s a graphical novel but a game must have a good amount of gameplay with more fullness to it and more mobility especially for chinese martial arts.. So that’s the main negative we can see with Shuyan Saga right now. Regardless it’s still an experience. The animations of the combat could look better but there’s clear-ish distinction between the moves. After all X35 Earthwalker himself is a martial artist.
Overall Shuyan Saga looks like a very good game. Lots of work went into this game clearly. From the graphic style and details to the animations and cinematic. This is quite the adventure and the princess, Shuyan herself, has an excellent design. She look good. The story in the chapters and the book style is different fun. Colourful and detailed. The developers ‘Lofty Sky Entertainment’ have done a very good job. Tings should be better since Shuyan Saga is coming to consoles. X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear open for this game when it comes to console. Shuyan Saga may have loads of kung fu but their king fu is too weak for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
AK-xolotl is a top down rougelite shooter developed by ‘2Awesome studio‘ and published by ‘Playstack‘. AK-xolotl is said to be coming out the 14th of September 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker does like Xolotls. AK-xolotl is out here not joking around, except they are joking around. Grab your AK-47. Let’s take a look.
AK-xolotl is a funny game. Literally. AK-xolotl has players control a Xolotl who is cute but turns out is very dangerous. This Xolotl is armed with weapons. Its main is the AK-47. That why we mentioned it earlier. Now the story… well it’s more like you just go on a rampage through the different biomes facing all kinds of foes and dangerous beings. It’s an adventure for sure.
This game is actually funny. AK-xolotl is all about that action. The bosses are crazy. There’s even a hello kitty… oh sorry, we meant hell’o kitty. We are sure you see the reference here. Giant knife wielding Enemy Crabs and even sock snakes There’s many enemies who are natural predators and if you give them the chance, they will destroy you… unless… you destroy them first. You can even go full akuma from street fighter on these foes with the raging demon.
Now during your adventure in AK-xolotl you will come across different baby Xolotls. Find them and help them. Bring them back home with you and nurture and raise them. When they grow up, they become Xolotl characters for you to control and play. Treat it like the binding of Isaac. Different characters, different effects, maybe some abilities. So yeah there’s some variety for sure.
Now of course, AK-xolotl as a rougelite crazy shooter, there’s random generated rooms, random layouts and getting jumped by foes. So make sure to grab the food you find. Feed your xolotl children and hopefully get a bite for yourself. Besides that you are going to need some help. That’s why you can purchase things like at ‘Small Paws Dealer’. There are other friendly beings out there who are willing to help… for a price etc.
So yeah, you should know what to expect by now with AK-xolotl. You can either choose to play with a melee style or ranged shooter. There’s many enemies, many weapons, upgrades are off course available. Don’t forget to cook ‘permanent, stat-improving recipes” for the xolotls. Eat everything you can find. We hear even mjolnir is in the game.
We checked out some Ak-Xolotl gameplay and it’s what we expected. Run, around, keep moving and fight your way through it all. It’s a rougelite for sure. Just straight up fun but additional elements like the whole rescuing and raising babies thing to become fighters. Ak-Xolotl is not playing around.
Overall Ak-Xolotl looks like an excellent game. There’s lots to like here. It’s silly, fun, straight action, references, lots to do and multiple mechanics going on. More things need to be examined. Cute shooter. Sigh. The developers ‘2Awesome studios’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Ak-Xolotl may have cute dangerous creatures but they aren’t on the level high enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Super Bomberman R 2 is an action adventure game developed and published by ‘Konami’. Super Bomberman R 2 is said to be coming out the 13th of September 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker‘s crew truly enjoyed the first game. Super Bomberman R 2 is clearly trying to make a blast… make a boom… explode on to the scene… we have more of these and can go on. Let’s take a look.
Super Bomberman R 2 is bringing back what we know. The Bomberman family is back. They are still silly, dysfunctional, funny and getting the job done. There’s another threat in the universe. The Bomberman brothers and their new friends, the ellons, have to save the universe… again. So that’s the story basically. It’s a Bomberman game after all.
Super Bomberman R 2 is something that’s on our screens for sure. There’s lots to do in the previous game and now there’s even more. There’s even a whole new game mode too, that’s going to make players get tactical and think more. The story unlocks as you explore the planets which is a cool change. Makes exploration impactful and necessary. You go to do it. Use your bombs to blow things up, progress and defeat your foes. We hear there’s even a secret puzzle. Players may need to find hints for it.
Multiplayer in Super Bomberman R 2 is pretty much how we remember it. Use your bombs to blow up your enemies, outplay, outwit, or trap them. Whatever. It’s freaking Bomberman. You should know what to do. This also includes the 64 player mode. So yeah… the more the merrier… maybe. X35 Earthwalker won his very first 64 player battle Royale match… in his first match. That’s how good he is. Maybe he will do it again.
Now concerning the new mode, it’s called ‘Castle’. Here’s how it works. It’s a battle mode with a maximum of 16 players. Two teams. There’s an attack side and the castle side. Castle side is the defence side. It’s a battle over treasure chests and their keys off course. The castle side must defend the treasure chests and keys. There’s gimmicks available and even the Ellons. Use them well. Even better are these weapons the castle players can use. There’s three weapon types to take into battle but you must pick one. Each have conditions for players to meet, to charge the weapon. Use weapon when fully charged. Super Bomberman R 2 keeping it simple.
On top of this there’s an editor so you can custom build your own stages. Put in your gimmicks, set in some walls and finally test your stage yourself. Once it’s complete and works, then you can upload it. Add tags to it so it’s easier to find. You can easily find other players designed stages too and give them a run through.
We checked out some Super Bomberman R 2 gameplay and it’s what we expected. The animations, especially when it comes to the celebrations, seem to be a step up. The explosions are better too overall when it comes to details. After the flash of yellow/orange and red you then get the black smoke. Now hopefully this signifies whether it’s safe to proceed through their path or not is yet to be explored. The new mode is welcome for sure as it’s just more options and more ways to play. There’s quite a bit more they can actually do here.
Overall Super Bomberman R 2 looks like it’s going to be a blast just like the previous game. The matter of how smooth the gameplay will be, especially when compared to the previous one, matters. It’s colourful and looks fun as always. There are few questions concerning the multiplayer modes but these things can be found. The developers ‘Konami’ have done a fantastic job so far. X35 Earthwalker is looking forward to using bombs. Super Bomberman R 2 may have more explosions and a castle but those two get nothing down in the presence of… the ‘Earth Walk!’
