Sonic X Shadow Generations is an action 3D/2D Platformer game developed by ‘Sonic Team‘ and published ‘SEGA‘. Sonic X Shadow Generations is said to be coming out the 25th of October 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and PS5. X35 Earthwalker played Sonic Generations and had a good time. Sonic X Shadow Generations looking like it wants to bring the upgraded sauce. Let’s take a look.
Sonic X Shadow Generations isn’t playing around. The story is simple. It’s Sonic Generations but with Shadow and the shenanigans he brings. The so called ultimate life, who’s like 3 feet 3 inches tall, is here. So expect all the excellent action from Sonic Generations but add in the additional levels and whole new story side for Shadow on top of everything and that’s Sonic X Shadow Generations. Very simple to understand.
Shadow isn’t just dropped into the game but he also has his own thing going on. In Shadow’s campaign he faces off against an old foe… Black Doom. He’s trying to take over the world again… like they always do. Things are different this time. Shadow isn’t the same bummy hedgehog we all love. He’s going to become stronger… that’s right.
Shadow will get new Doom powers. These dark powers will shake things up for sure. So look out for the new stuff. Shadow may have to travel to the past, put together the timeline and even revisit some painful memories but on the lighter side shadow will get to surf on water, soar over those obstacles and you’ll like this one… stop time. That’s right! Chaos control is back.
Sonic X Shadow Generations also has a “complete” remaster of Sonic Generations. There’s a system to let players go back to those levels, only now they have bee upgraded, especially visually. There’s also “new bonus content”. Fighting hordes of enemies as shadow is definitely a thing here and there’s suppose to be platforming challenges “like never before”. Definitely like to see what that’s about.
The white space has also been upgraded. This “all-new hub world” was inspired by the “open zone gameplay of Sonic Frontiers”. As you acquire new powers you will be able to go further, explore more and discover secrets and hidden stuff. So there’s clearly more to do. By the way, if gamers buy the Sonic X Shadow Generations Digital deluxe edition you’ll get a bunch of stuff but also get to play the game early.
We checked out some Sonic X Shadow Generations gameplay and it’s what we expected. It’s sonic. It’s Sonic Generations but with more. There’s a lot of speed. There’s combat. There’s Shadow. There’s also a chao to rescue in each level, there’s also the casino for players to rack up the score. There’s a museum for your viewing pleasure including behind the scenes type art. A lot of good stuff so far in Sonic X Shadow Generations.
Overall Sonic X Shadow Generations looks like an excellent game. Graphics are top tier for sonic style standards. The music is going to be crazy. There’s so much options thanks to time travelled remastered previous levels. There’s more to do and find. Shadow gets upgrades as well. Good stuff right here. The developers ‘Team Sonic’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye not his game. Now Sonic X Shadow Generations may have shadow in there but he’s not ultimate enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
EvilVEvil is a First Person Shooter game developed and published by ‘Toadman Interactive‘. EvilVEvil is said to be coming out the 16th of July 2024 on the Xbox Series X, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker has mastered slaying vampires with all kinds of weapons. EvilVEvil is looking to bring fast paced vampire action. Let’s take a look.
EvilVEvil is all about vampire slaying action. It’s about going through hordes of them “without remorse”. There’s vampire characters, that’s right you are the vampires. Each one has their own style, attitude and abilities. Fight and shoot through their story. They are more closer to a vampire like Blade than let’s say Redfall and their vampire gods. These vampires have weapons and more.
The main focus is taking down Zagreus and his followers. Some say a cult. Feed on them. shoot them ip. Blast them and more. Zagreus even has machinations. Humanity is in danger and it’s up to the vampires this time? Strange stuff going on here. By the way the name of the three we have seen are: Mashaka, Victoria, Ramirez.
Now one of the main features promoted about EvilVEvil is the co-op action. You can have up to two others join you in your battles. This allows for some crazy action. Even playing by yourself will feel powerful… more powerful. will co-op be a straight up shooting experience or is there co-op mechanics to add to it.
So concerning the vampires you can sum them up basically with berserker, assassin and arcanist. We all know they do not fight the same way at all. Each character is enhanceable. You can improve what makes them good and more than make up for their weaknesses with some artifacts. We even see one that looked like an energy sword which destroys foes.
We checked out some EvilVEvil gameplay and it’s what we expected. It’s definitely fast paced. There’s some hordes for sure and you got to blast through them. The berserker loves getting up high and dicing into a crowd with ground pounding abilities. Area of effect abilities, automatic weapons and off course the strong dingle fire revolver type weapon. It’s just all action.
Overall EvilVEvil looks like a good game. Some stuff like the animations and trajectory of some abilities need some adjustments. Regardless EvilVEvil gives exactly what it says on the front of the box. Vampire fighting, slaying, shooting action. Co-op for the friends and bite on some neck meat. Nothing deep. Just fun. The developers ‘Toadman Interactive’ have done a great job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are alright with seeing friendly-ish vampires helping out. Now EvilVEvil may have powerful vampires weighing artifacts and guns but they are too weak for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition is an open world simulation game developed by ‘Aesir Interactive‘ and published by ‘Astragon‘. Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition is said to be coming out the 18th of June 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, PS4 and PS5. X35 Earthwalker is the only one who can make the best police force and system. Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition is bringing more. Let’s take a look.
Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition is exactly what you think it is. Be a police officer and go about your daily duties. You are a police officer in the Brighton Police Department. If you’ve played Police Simulator: Patrol Officers before then you know the deal but to make it clear and simple. Gold edition basically adds “the brand-new Highway Patrol Expansion, and the Garage Bundle containing all previously published car DLCs”. So you get the main game plus everything else previously plus now more. Here’s a list below:
Now off course Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition has you in a fictitious city. An American one. Humble beginnings is a thing here. You will start out doing the smaller tasks like citing violations and of course giving parking tickets. As you prove yourself, you can get access to even more responsibilities. Unlike so many real life police officers who don’t do this, you can get to know your neighbourhoods and be a part of the community. Obviously there is crime to fight so be careful out there. Don’t want to get shanked on your first day.
Now do what some real life police officers don’t do and actually know the law. Too many videos of that. Do things by the law and you’ll be recognised. Eventually unlocking new districts and neighbourhoods. You get to pick the neighbourhoods you want to patrol. Word on the streets is that there are 3 districts. Each district has multiple neighbourhoods. They each have their own stand out factor and style. Brickston has those historical buildings while downtown got the real tall ones. High rise style.
Now Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition has an active world. Things will be going on whether you are moving or not. There’s even a whole traffic system in place concerning the vehicles on the road. Heck, even car accidents can happen in this place. There will be other emergency situations too. A fight might break out and it’s up to you to deal with the matter. Who knows, you might get shot while handing out a ticket. Isn’t that fun?!
We checked out some Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition gameplay and it’s what we expected. Reminds us of games like Saints Row and Gran Theft Auto but except more calm, and you are actually the police. Events and things can be happening around you. You can chase down those pesky graffiti sprayers and teach them a lesson. Some one might be selling drugs on your streets or the local park. Go bust them. Maybe a fight breaks out or someone rams a barricade. Better hop in your car quick to drive them down.
Overall Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition looks like a great game. If things are done well enough it can even be excellent. Our concern is the level of the action and the frequency of things happening. Maybe there are settings to effect and change that. What measurements are in place to help keep the player in line for let’s say breaking the law themselves? Graphics are good and the animations are good too. The developers ‘Aesir Interactive have done a great job here so far. The gold edition updates just improve and adds more to his game, which fans will love to see. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear how real the action is in this game. Now Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Gold Edition easy be a police simulation but it’s not real enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption is an action First Person Shooter game developed by ‘Auroch Digital‘ and published by ‘Digital Foundry‘. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption is said to be coming out the 18th of June 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5 and PS4. X35 Earthwalker likes to see good games get expanded and supported. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption is out here bringing more action to the gamers.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is back and now there’s more bang for your boltgun… or was it buck? Whatever that saying is. Now coming up is the Forges of Corruption expansion. This means players will need to grab the boltgun they stashed under the kitchen sink and pick up the chainsword they left in the garage. It’s time to destroy more heresy and chew bubble gum… and most of us is all out gum.
Word on the streets of the emperor is that Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption has a whole brand new campaign. No not a Halo campaign… a Warhammer one. There’s going to be 5 levels and are suppose to be environments of a varied kind. So expect variety. The level designs are off course based on the grimdark lore of Warhammer 40000. For example, there’s a demon forge and you know those places be active. There’s Graia battlefields and a manufactorum. Additionally we should mention that there’s even a horde mode now. So fighting endless waves of enemies and filth is a thing. Fight and blast for as long as you want. Great unclean ones and lord of changes are waiting for you as well.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption wouldn’t be a real expansion if there wasn’t new enemies and weapons. Thank the emperor there is. Or is he the false emperor?.. Why is that inquisitor looking at me all of a sudden? Anyways. Players can expect to face the Black Havoc Legion who will be launching missiles at you. There’s even helbrutes and we know those boys are big body! Don’t let them baby shake you. There’s even terminators who have lighting claws. But fear not for you can fight back with the famous Multi-Melta and even a missile launcher. Fight back space marine.
We checked out some Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption gam play and it’s what we expected and should be what gamers expected as well. If you like Doom then you will like this. It’s as simple as that. Run around or zoom around while blowing up enemies, cutting them down, shooting them up, blasting them apart, big body some enemies or take your time and line up that shot. It’s just pure first person shooter action… but now with more stuff than before. Bring death to the heretics. There’s no shame, their souls are already lost!
Overall Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption looks like it’s going to be excellent. It’s just more of what we liked. That’s good. Keep it simple. They gave more levels, more enemies, more guns. Tick all the boxes. There’s no need to comment on the graphics and sounds as it’s an expansion so you are getting the same basically. The developers Auroch Digital have done an excellent job with this expansion. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open concerning this game. Now Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption may have some new things but they don’t make a difference when it comes too… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo is a 2D puzzle game developed by ‘Derik D.F’ and published by ‘Eastasiasoft‘. Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo os said to be coming out the 5th of June 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and PS5. X35 Earthwalker has seen limbo theme games and will see what this one has got. Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo is looking to bring things real old school. Let’s take a look.
Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo is about a young boy who is described as very adventurous but also reckless. He somehow gets stuck between life and death. Hopefully the game explains it or maybe true to old school gaming fashion, there is no explanation but is what it is. He has to get out of this situation but off course puzzles are in the way.
Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo has a cool twist. It’s not just the boy moving around but he also now has a ghost form… Somehow… when he dies? This is the game. 2D, retro, puzzles and ghost form. We hearing there’s “50 single-screen puzzles”. In case you didn’t notice by now but everything is black and white. Pixel art style too. The black and white colours must be to represent limbo.
We checked out some Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo gameplay and it’s what we expected. The puzzles off course will start off very simple but become increasingly more difficult and complex. This is the simple but cool gameplay you will get. Classic bring it back to old school. Your aim? To return to the land of the living.
Overall Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo looks great. It’s definitely 100% old school retro style from the pixels and colours to the dimensions. It’s all puzzles and using your head. Does what it says on the front of the box. The developers ‘Derik D.F’ have done a great job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will just have to hear what’s the deal with this game in time to come. Now Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo may have a ghost form in limbo but all these realms are too low for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Astor: Blade of the Monolith is an action Role Playing Game developed by C2 Game Studio and published by Versus Evil and tinyBuild games. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is said to be coming out the 30th of May 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5 and PS4. X35 Earthwalker likes a nice big adventure set in a creative world. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is looking to bring a big mystery. Let’s take a look.
Astor: Blade of the Monolith is set in the on the planet Gliese. Players control the character Astor. He is a Diokek. Let us explain a bit. The planet Gliese is a fully colourful and guess you can say vibrant place. An ancient race use to live there. They are gone… maybe.. but what’s certain is that their creations, the Diokek now inhabit the place. Then some time later mean creatures called the Hiltsik, were attacking and bringing destruction. Settlements destroyed. Now some clues point to something bigger at play here than just attacks. So our character Astor sets out to get to the bottom of this.
Astor: Blade of the Monolith will have players on a journey across the planet Gliese. Main mission isn’t actually to fight the Hiltsik but actually to find out what happened to your creators. The ancient race that disappeared thousands of years ago. Maybe, just maybe you can find a solution to your current problem through them. Maybe the ancient race left behind weapons, technology or even an answer. One can hope. One can fight.
The main strengths of Astor: Blade of the Monolith right off the base is the visuals, the story/mystery and off course the combat. Visually is obvious and clear to see (SEE what we did there?). The combat is the main star in this action role playing game. There’s runic weapons for players to wield and use to destroy foes. You combine that combat with the abilities and mobility that Astor has and you got yourself some sweet combat. Expect to charge enemies, cause knockback, double jump, combo while in the air, bring down the hammer (literally), ground pound, summon giant fists to smash and more.
Remember that this planet, Gliese, is alive and got quite a bit going on. Players may come across places where there’s others just going about their day and lives. Settlements were attacked but not all of them. Maybe say hi. Other locations include forests, ice lands, deserts, building structures, you get the point.
We checked out some Astor: Blade of the Monolith gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s a lot going on and the combat is quite furious. We are seeing multiple options and even semi-stylish ways to destroy foes. There’s even a creature to hop on to get a ride. Quick transportation you could say. We like the difference in combat style when you use the spear versus using the sword. Quite artistic and flowing, making it a small treat to watch. This ain’t no little project. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is looking quite serious.
Overall Astor: Blade of the Monolith is looking like an excellent game. We hearing there’s like 20+ hours worth of main story content but there’s also side missions/quests for players to get into as well. There’s bosses with health bars, special abilities, finishing moves, combos, a variety of areas and more. Will Aston be the one to save the world? What do you think? He is the main character after all. Don’t they like always win. The developers ‘C2 Game Studio’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker may keep an eye open for this game. Now Astor: Blade of the Monolith may have a whole planet and adventure but it’s far too small for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Bright Memory: Infinite is a fantastic game. X35 Earthwalker declares that right of the bat. Matter of fact we won’t make you wait. It’s a 10/10 under one condition. The fact that it’s got one developer! Many know by now that Bright Memory: Infinite was developed by one guy. The developer FYQD-Studio. For one person, yes, Bright Memory: Infinite is easily 10/10. bigger developer groups have made games not as good as Bright Memory: Infinite. We just wanted to do a quick G-Blog out of respect for this game. Let’s take a look.
X35 Earthwalker always was interested in Bright Memory: Infinite. X35 played the platinum version of Bright Memory: Infinite. This game is all about action. Players control Shelia, who wields multiple guns and a sword. On top of that she has special tech that allows control over her enemies. For example you can pull enemies towards you and have them stuck in the air in slow motion for you to finish off or blast away. You can do a repelling blast also. Your sword allows for quick and strong slices to destroy foes. Let’s get more into it.
Bright Memory: Infinite has combos. You can do a sliding rising slice to launch enemies into the air for you to dice them up before they hit the ground. Unlock skills for more abilities like charging up your blade to release a flying slash attack. Leap into the air to do a powerful electric charged downwards strike. Charge up your fist for a shocking electric punch. Upgrade that same skill for the ultimate power as it becomes a literal flaming explosive punch that one shots everything except big bosses. That fire punch blasts through shields as well.
The gun play in Bright Memory: Infinite is fantastic. Hit registration is clean allowing for accurate shots and quick dealing with enemies. There’s the assault rifle, shotgun, automatic pistol and sniper rifle. A weapon for all situations. Each gun has alternate fire modes which are all powerful. Assault rifle has tracking mini missiles, Shotgun has incendiary rounds, Automatic pistol has a massive explosive shot and sniper rifle has sticky bombs. Again, more layers to the combat. Some enemies truly get destroyed by certain weapons. For example, even big bosses get stunned and interrupted by the explosive pistol bomb shot.
Some dumb reviewers wanted to deduct marks from Bright Memory: Infinite because of how short the game is and how simple the story is or lack thereof. Well of course it’s going to be a short game without an expansive story. Bright Memory: Infinite wasn’t made by 343 industries or Fromsoftware. It’s made by ONE GUY. Bright Memory: Infinite obviously took him a very long time. Of course it’s not going to be a massive game with tons of deep lore. Review and judge games taking into consideration what the game is. Context matters.
Bright Memory: Infinite isn’t all action as there is a stealth section because your equipment stopped working thanks to the anomaly. You find a nearby lethal weapon and get to work sneaking past enemies soldiers and assassinate whoever you please. There’s also a part where you get support with a vehicle. You have a drive sequence with a powerful rocket launcher to take out enemy vehicles and escape a collapsing cave. Shelia also has excellent mobility. she can double jump, evade dash and even run along walls. Again, it’s all action. You can time your block to help stagger enemies and even reflect certain projectiles back at opponents. For example you can reflect shotgun fire and flaming arrows back at enemies.
Overall Bright Memory: Infinite is a fantastic Xbox exclusive game. Bright Memory: Infinite Platinum Edition shines best off course on the Xbox Series X. There’s the option to play in either first or third person mode. There’s different skins for Shelia as well from casual clothes to her default combat gear. Bright Memory: Infinite especially with the affordable price is worth playing even today. No regrets over here. The developer FYQD-Studio did a fantastic top tier job. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to what’s next for this game and the developer. Now Bright Memory: Infinite may be fantastic but not on the same level as… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Xbox Game Pass without a fought is the best deal in gaming. The best place to game is on the Xbox. Xbox has so many games that they’re isn’t enough time to play them all sadly. Problems of the upper class gamers. Now Xbox Game Pass is once again getting even more games into the library for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to experience. X35 Earthwalker is the chief of them all. Let’s take a look.
We see: NHL 24, Chants of Sennaat, Hauntii, Humanity, Moving Out 2, Rolling Hills, Galacticare, Immortals of Aveum, Lords of the Fallen, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and Firework. That’s quite the line up of games. Once again Xbox doesn’t just have the quality and quantity of games but also the variety too. You got fun multiplayer games like Moving Out 2 where even the family and children can join in. You got sport games like NHL 24 where fans can join in the action. Then there’s dark action games like Lords of the Fallen and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Take your pick.
All this and more when you are subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass. Loving the games and the range. Xbox Game Pass is definitely affordable for most and is a fantastic deal. The fact that you got over 100 games including the biggest names like all the Halo games and other big names like all the Mass effect, Wolfenstein and Dead Space games. Lords of the Fallen for example is better than Dark Souls 3 and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is looking to be easily one of the biggest things of the year concerning gaming. Jump in with us.
Overall things are getting better and better for Xbox. Plus with news that Square Enix is going back to its multiplatform roots, Xbox gamers can even expect Final Fantasy to be coming back to Xbox. Maybe even Final Fantasy XVI! That’s good news. More money for Square Enid and more games for Xbox gamers to enjoy and buy. Want to know more about that? Of course you do. Then listen to our podcast episode on it right here. X35 Earthwalker himself will be checking out some of these games. Keep it up Xbox. We are glad to be on the best console all these years. Now Xbox is the best currently but they still aren’t as good as… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Xbox is number 1 in the gaming world and it’s only getting stronger and stronger. X35 Earthwalker has been with Xbox for a very long time and seen the growth in fames the powerful gaming consoles and what was to come. Xbox has become the biggest giant with success after success. Loads more games, many studios, showcases, awards, living in people’s heads rent free and more. Xbox is also being unfairly treated by so called gaming media outlets and content creators and people tend to focus on those false negative things more. X35 Earthwalker himself wants to speak on this matter as a G-blog this time. Let’s take a look.
Quick note – X35 Earthwalker has talked about all and this and more in deeper details on the Spotify podcast. Below are the links for them.
Xbox vs PlayStation. Let’s Settle This – Listen up
Xbox Dominance. They are getting Stronger – Listen up
Xbox continues to Dominate. Number One – Listen up
What matters most is the games. Xbox has quality, the quantity and the variety when it comes to the fames. Much more than Playstation. Before Xbox put the four games on to Playstation, Xbox had Hi-fi Rush, Grounded, Sea of thieves, Pentiment, Minecraft, Minecraft dungeons, Flight simulator (there’s other simulators too), Diablo 4, Fallout, Stalker, Redfall, Forza Horizon 5, Gears of War 5, Palworld, Starfield, Halo Infinite off course and much more. Then on top of that there’s many Xbox exclusives on the way like Blade, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Ara: History untold, Visions of Mana, Indiana Jones and Avowed. You want more? We can give more. X35 has a list he made in 2022, of xbox exclusives that were coming out and there was over 30. Off course some have come out by now while others are still to come like Bright Memory: Infinite, Tetris Effect: Connected, Gears Tactics, Stalker 3, Psychonauts 2, The Gunk, CrossfireX, Gable, Exomecha, The Ascent, Scorn, Second extinction, Warhammer 40000: dark tide and more still. Yet idiots want to Xbox has no games or trash games. Those people are morons. With Xbox having over 30 studios under them, you can expect even more games. Compare this incomplete list to what Playstation has and it’s not even close. X35 Earthwalker covered this and more in his podcast.
Next is the direction that gaming is going in. Less console focus and more services and software. X35 Earthwalker went into deep detail concerning this in his podcast. More people are getting PCs which is a win for Microsoft (Xbox). More people are on subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and PS+. Gaming isn’t the same as it was 10 years ago and even 5 years ago. Even the digital vs physical statistics show this. The whole world is going digital and even cloud. In this big area Xbox is ahead of everyone else. Matter of fact, sony is playing catch up right now. Xbox has set up an ecosystem and it’s not even in its final form yet. Xbox basically can be played anywhere. Console, PC, Tablet and Smart phones. We have tried all these out and they work well. We know there’s a new Xbox console on the way and even talks of the handheld one. Xbox Series X is already the most powerful console right now but the next one is going to be much stronger. Also the next Xbox hardwares will have AI involved and that’s another reason why Xbox is ahead… Microsoft. Microsoft is easily ahead of Sony in terms of money and power but Microsoft its also big and leading in the AI game. This is a massive advantage and it means better, more powerful and intelligent hardware and tech. It’s been reported that Microsoft owns 60-70% of the cloud gaming market. So Xbox has the majority.
Xbox also is dipping real big into the mobile gaming world too thanks to King, who is part of the ABK (Activision, Blizzard and King). King is big in the mobile gaming world. Ever heard of Candy Crush? Thought so. Then Blizzard back on good terms with Netease. Netease has many mobile games and are deep in China. Tis another connection with the east. Netease also got the Project Mugen which is huge and going to a big deal. Since Blizzard is under Xbox, that means there’s no real reason for Project Mugen to not be on Xbox. Do you see what’s going on here.Revenue reports show that Xbox overall are doing very well and the ABK is a big factor in it. So that’s an excellent move from Xbox. On top of all this, Xbox Game Pass alone is a good of reason to own an Xbox. We spoke about this many times but the many on the Xbox Game Pass is better than the Playstation lineup. You get ALL the wolfenstein, Dead Space (including the remake), Mass Effect, Fable, Fallout, Gears of War and Halo Games plus over 100 more games including the resident evil remake game. Show me a better deal in gaming! You can’t do it! Xbox is the best and the best place for gamers. Think about it massive games like Ark Survival Ascended, Palworld and the game of the generation Starfield alone will keep you busy for hours and months on end. There are multiple people who already have over 1000 hours in Starfield. Then add the other great games and you actually don’t have enough time to play them all.
From the outside it isn’t as obvious at times because content creators, streamers and off course the gaming media outlets target Xbox and are very biased. Also known as the ‘Xbox tax’. The playstation fanboys also known as ponies join in as well. They will magnify any issues and downplay all success and good news Xbox gets. While ignoring or giving a free pass to all of playstation’s failings… as time goes on PlayStation is more of them. Playstation has suffered multiple blows and Ls. Let’s mention some of them: playstation bug that deleted some gamers digital games from their library, spider-bug 2 was overall disappointing concerning results including winning no awards, losing investors, lost 10 billion concerning stocks, final fantasy 7 rebirth wasn’t selling well, no major existing franchise release until 2025, state of play wasn’t successful, lost studios and shut down studios, basically going third party, playstation gamers aren’t playing and talking about Foamstars and helldivers 2 is being carried by pc players. On top of that Sony has decided to go day one release with PC like helldivers 2 and soon to be ghost of Tsushima. Now very recently playstation is messing up again as they are now forcing pc players of helldivers 2 to have a playstation account. Many pc players reacting aren’t happy at all. playstation when they finally get a good thing happen, they find a way to mess it up. Helldivers 2 is their only real up point except Stella blade (which they also messed up by censoring it after everyone has bought it). So as you can see, playstation has far more negative stuff going on while xbox is having a fantastic year so far.
Overall it’s pretty clear what’s going on. Xbox is having a fantastic year so far, even better than last year while playstation has been taking L after L. Xbox is ahead of everyone including Nintendo concerning the new direction of gaming. Mobile, service, xcloud etc. Plus Xbox will take over the hand held console gaming as they will have the strongest hand held console buffed up by AI built into their whole ecosystem. Xbox has over 30 studios under them so more games are on the way. Microsoft has the most money are so can buy more studios or set up more things. Xbox Game Pass is the best deal in all of gaming. Starfield is getting a massive update that’s going to make it take over gaming once again. Palworld went viral and brought many players in and more updates are coming for it. Xbox is ahead in money, studios, games, console, services, ecosystem and show cases. Pure Xbox has some details on the showcase. It’s clear who’s number one. That’s Xbox. We are looking for to the June showcase, Starfield update and more. Keep it up Xbox. Just don’t give our major games to playstation. Keep our big games. Gamers want to play them, they need to get an Xbox or PC. X35 Earthwalker, the worlds smartest man has spoken. Now it’s clear that Xbox is winning but what’s the true winner is… the ‘Earth Walk!’
Age of Water is an Open World Adventure Massive Multiplayer Online game developed by Three Whales Studio and published by ‘Gaijin Network‘. Age of Water is said to be coming out the 18th of April 2024 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and PC. X35 Earthwalker loves wonderfully done open worlds in gaming. Age of Water is said to be unforgiving… we doubt that. Let’s take a look.
Age of Water has a simple to understand story. Ir’s post apocalyptic so you already know something big has happened and the world is in a bad state. The whole world is submerged. People live in settlements and homes they built on top of what ever is above the water. Survival is the top priority here. Platers control a sea captain. Lead your boat through a “unforgiving” world. Explore, fight, trade and mine.
Games like Age of Water normally haver lots for players to do and a lot going on. Since Age of Water is also a MMO, we can expect co-operation with other players to help conquer the seas sort off. We hear there will be storms and off course hostile groups on the oceans. Expect to encounter people on small boats while some have warships. So players must pick their battles wisely. What we hope for though are additional threats but in the ocean itself. We truly hope there are actual dangers like sharks, maybe giant squid or depending on how real world they want the game to be, maybe something more fictional.
Players will get involved in trades. Sell some artifacts that you find. Maybe straight up take someone else’s boat for yourself. You can also build your own too. On the business side of things players should aim to mine the the resources found on the ocean bottom. Not only is it resources but it’s the way to learn some secrets and uncover the mysteries in Age of Water.
We checked out some Age of Water gameplay and it’s what we expected. We like that some people haven’t given up on the idea of finding land. There are settlements for players to engage with. Speak with the local people and even take on missions. Of course a game like Age of Water must have bases. You can construct your own base in this watery world. There is off course technology to spend points on and unlock new things, including stuff like “superstructures”.
Overall Age of Water looks like a good game so far but nothing has truly grabbed us right now. There’s definitely a number of things going on here. We like the ocean, we like a post apocalyptic world that brings in the feeling of one. We like the style of the game as well. Lots of gamers will like this and be drawn the world. Those massive warships are currently the most impressive thing so far. We will have to see more of this game though. The developers ‘Three Whales Studio’ have done a very good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker might have to place a tracker on Age of Water. Now Age of Water may have a submerged world but it’s not deep enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
