Hob is a new suspenseful action adventure game developed by ‘Runic Games’. It’s coming out 26th of September for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. This game instantly looks weird but let’s take a look.
Not much information is given on Hob but we do know that it takes place on a world in disarray. The players job is to slowly figure out their role in saving this world and the life here. Hob is certainly not short on exploration. The environments are large and have a lot to offer. There are puzzles to solve and it is even said that players can transform the planet itself. That sounds very interesting.
In Hob players must rely on the giant mech arm. This arm is capable of warping, punching and grappling. Now to get these abilities and grow more powerful, players must use the GUS (Glove upgrade system). It’s like Metroid, you will need these abilities to access certain areas in the different environments. Also there are different creatures around as well and some of them are not friendly, meaning you will need your arm to fight them. Remember this.
We checked out some gameplay and it made the game much better in our minds. The graphics are excellent. It all looks smooth and well done. The environments and their designs are great. Thy look worth exploring which for games like this is very important. The sounds are excellent as well. When you land on a platform that then descends it sounds like platforms from ancient ruins.
Overall there isn’t much information as of now to go on concerning this game but from what we know it looks like a good game. A bit interesting but hasn’t interested us enough. It’s not our type. Gamers who are explorers will like this and those for a bit of a mystery. The developers ‘Runic Games’ did a great job with this game and it shows. We at X35 Earthwalker will listen out for news concerning Hob. This game might be worth checking out. Make sure you do though as we ourselves know how hard and long it takes to make games. The world of Hob is in danger but guess what’s never in danger… the ‘Earth Walk!’
