Blasphemous 2. This Game?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Blasphemous 2

Blasphemous 2 is an action metroidvania game developed by ‘The Game Kitchen‘ and published by ‘Team17‘. Blasphemous 2 is said to be coming out the 24th of August 2023 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. Blasphemous 2 is here to bring more weird stuff our way. X35 Earthwalker will have to see if this game got the goods or not. Let’s take a look.

Blasphemous 2 is described as the “second scripture in the blasphemous series.” The main dude is back, also known as the “penitent one”. The story continues from the DLC ‘wounds of eventide’. The weird stuff. Well their whole game is weird but do y’all remember the heart in the sky, all about the return of the miracle and the birth of a new so called miracle child. Yeah, so make sure you up to date concerning the story for the better experience.

X35 Earthwalker Blasphemous 2

So yeah, woken up again… but in a new and strange land. You aren’t near what’s suppose to be your final resting place. You have to pass the time somehow so might as well get up and explore this place. There are guaranteed long forgotten secrets. So make sure to discover them. There’s always something going on with how games like this end and then want to start up the sequel. 

We heard there’s a whole horde of ugly and weird enemies waiting for you. Hopefully there’s at least one good looking foe. Blasphemous 2 is suppose to have a more full and non-linear world. This also means there’s more to do. Take the npcs for example. There’s a bunch of new ones. Some will help, others will ask for help. Some will send you on “death defying” missions to get forgotten items.

X35 Earthwalker Blasphemous 2

You know Blasphemous 2 is going to have more weird bosses. They are described as twisted and that’s fair. Off course get ready for their attack patterns and learn the right timing and openings. They should be easier to beat thanks to upgrades to the combat. New weapons, executions, bigger combos and improvable skillset.

We checked out some Blasphemous 2 gameplay and it’s what we expected. Animations look slightly better. The world has stand out locations and the overall visuals are are better overall but it’s tough to tell from here. How far will Blasphemous 2 go concerning the designs, details and bosses. They did wuss out on some things last time. 

Overall, Blasphemous 2 seems like a good game. X35 Earthwalker was never interested in the Blasphemous series. The first game failed to impress or even interest him. Hopefully they do better this time. The developers ‘The Game Kitchen’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will wait to see if this game will impress us. Now Blasphemous 2 may have a hew land to explore but it’s too small and simple for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

The Expanse: A Telltale Series. Here we go

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker The Expanse: A Telltale Series

The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a narrative adventure game developed by ‘TellTale games‘ and ‘Deck Nine games‘. The Expanse: A Telltale Series episode 1 is said to be coming out the 27th of July 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker is very aware of the Telltale series games. Time for a new adventure. The Expanse: A Telltale Series might be up to something here. Let’s take a look.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series episode 1 is all the way up in space. So yeah, there’s no jumping ship this time. You basically follow a lady called Camina Drummer on a ship called the Artemis. Her choices of course will determine everything. You know the drill by now… it’s a Telltale game. There’s a mutiny… a bloody one. So yeah, not everything is as it seems, think about things clearly, get ready for quick time events and pay attention to clues.

X35 Earthwalker The Expanse: A Telltale Series

Now comparisons will always be made. Previous Telltale titles either had illusions, human threats or monsters. It’s looking like human threats again. The mutiny will probably be the most in your face threat but there’s also going to be space pirates… no, not Metroid space pirates. Actual raid, attack and probably board type pirates.

X35 Earthwalker The Expanse: A Telltale Series

We checked out some The Expanse: A Telltale Series gameplay and it’s what we expected for sure. Exploration is the key thing in the game. This time you are exploring in space, on the outskirts of an asteroid belt. You will even get the chance to scavenge wrecked ships… in zero g. Hint to players: Camina Drummer’s resolve matters here. Those who know the story already through certain media will haver an advantage here. We prefer jumping in blind and getting the new experience. 

Overall The Expanse: A Telltale Series looks like an alright game. We have sort of low expectations for this game. We know exactly what we want from this game as well. Visually it looks very good. The voice acting is very good too. There’s a lot of character interaction as well. Wonder if betrayal gets thrown into the mix. The developers ‘TellTale games‘ and ‘Deck Nine games‘ have done a veery good job so far. Looks like a lot of work went into it. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Now The Expanse: A Telltale Series may have dangers in space but those are simple stuff compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Cross Tails. Dogs vs Cats

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Cross Tails

Cross Tails is a Strategy Role Playing game developed by ‘Rideon’ and published by ‘Kemco‘. Cross Tails is said to be coming out the 20th of July 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker gives many games a chance… why not this one. Cross Tails is bringing in a whole war. Let’s take a look.

Cross Tails has a funny but easy to understand situation world. There’s two kingdoms. The kingdom of Ranverfurt in the north and the Republic of Hidiq in the south. so what’s the problem? kingdom of Ranverfurt are canine while the Republic of Hidiq are feline. Get it yet? North is dogs and south are cats. It’s Dogs vs Cats. This land has been heavily affected by the war. Things have been bad for a decade. The citizens of both nations clearly don’t like each other and have this basically imprinted in their mind sets to hate each other. Time to explore this world.

X35 Earthwalker Cross Tails

Cross Tails is off course a big story game. Characters, their relationships to other characters like family. History and of course talking and interacting to learn everything etc. The battle side of Cross Tails is where things get real tactical. We talking positioning your units, melee units, ranged units, stats etc. We do like the look of the battle field. The information seems to be displayed clearly. There also seems to be items or things to interact with on the battlefield itself. 

X35 Earthwalker Cross Tails

So yeah, exploration is the key. You need to look around, speak to people and get involved with what’s happening in the two nations and this world. If you make progress and truly get to the bottom of this, then maybe you’ll reveal a certain third party. A sinister third party who just might be influencing things. There’s two adventures in Cross Tails go play through. Experience both sides and perspectives of the situation. Felix Arens and Shaimaa Jerbi. Pick one and get to it.

X35 Earthwalker Cross Tails

We checked out some Cross Tails gameplay and it’s what we expected. We have seen games like this before but Cross Tails is made in the year 2023 so we expect the details to be a higher level. Cross Tails looks good and the combat is tactical with multiple variables. Seems deep enough for tactical players to get into. The themes in Cross Tails are serious and clearly want to bring the emotions in or situations that are relatable. Will they do it well?

Overall Cross Tails is looking like a very good game. Maybe even excellent but more needs to be seen and things need to be experienced. Games like this with a whole new world and history, with deep stories are needed. The fans are there. The tactical side with a whole skill tree on top adds a lot to the game. A lot. The developers ‘Rideon’ have done an excellent job so far. X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear open for this game. Cross Tails may have a feud between nations but it would have been solved immediately by… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Exoprimal. Dino Tech War

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Exoprimal

Exoprimal is an action shooter game developed and published by ‘Capcom‘. Exoprimal is said to be coming out the 14th of July 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. Exoprimal is trying to be the game that stands out. X35 Earthwalker likes to see games like this… but is it done right?

Exoprimal is set in the year 2040. the planet is in danger. Basically dinosaurs are showing up “from thin air” and they are doing all kinds of damage to the cities… across the world. so everyone basically looks to ‘Aibius Corporation’ for help. They are described as powerful and have AI technology. They got one called Leviathan which lets them know where the dinosaurs will roll up on the scene. They then send out fighters to take them down. Exofighters. 

X35 Earthwalker Exoprimal

Exoprimal gets players right into the action. As an exofighter you are armed with the Exosuits which are the so called “state-of-the-art” mechanise combat suits. So yeah, if you fail, then humanity is doomed. So go fight dinosaurs… or maybe not… try to take a selfie with them… or not.

Now Exoprimal does want to make things tactical so there are classes. Assault, Tank and Support. It’s obvious what these roles do. What’s not so obvious are the loadouts. Pick these to fit the situation or your style. There’s also rigs, which are additional equipment adding abilities. Here’s an example. The zephyr exosuit is excellent at close range but off course struggles with long distance threats. The cannon rig will give you a long range laser. Problem solved.

X35 Earthwalker Exoprimal

We checked out some Exoprimal gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s different dinosaur types, with some being big and require attention while there’s the raptors swarming like zombies. Players have good mobility, certain classes have more. The tank classes got big weapons and stand against the horde. Speed in attacks and strikes. Hovering, thrusting, sword strikes, transformation and more. It’s heavy action and looks like things can get intense. The difficulty is in question though. This is a team focused game but is it balanced for solo players?

Overall Exoprimal looks like a great game. We like the graphics. The animations are very good. The details are weak though. As in the armour design and details on it. The focus was clearly all on the combat. Cutscenes are good. Good dinosaur games are rare. The developers ‘Capcom’ have done a very good job so far. X35 Earthwalker will have to see in full what this game brings. Now Exoprimal may have dangerous dinosaurs but they are just baby lizards if they ever faced… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Rain World. Tasty Slugcat

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Rain World

Rain World is an action adventure game developed by ‘Videocult‘ and published by ‘Akupara games‘. Rain world is coming to Xbox Series X and Xbox One on the 12th of July 2023. It’s already out on other platforms since 2017. Rain World has what’s called a Slugcat. X35 Earthwalker has intel on Slugcats in the archives. Rain World coming to Xbox means a new experience. Let’s take a look. 

Rain World has players take control of a Slugcat. Well not just a Slugcat but a nomadic Slugcat. He on the move. On the hunt for food. Enough food to get through the hibernation cycle. The mission is simple but so is the problem. The Slugcat is in a food chain. It’s a prey and predator. So watch out concerning those bigger creatures out there. They be getting hungry! Word on the streets is that Slugcats are tasty. Some even say that Slugcats are delicious.

X35 Earthwalker Rain World

Rain World does make it clear that you are not alone. You got separated from your family. So the other goal is to reunite with them. There is strength in numbers after all. Don’t forget to find shelter as there are next level torrential downpours which will destroy you and maybe drown all life. Make your way through ancient ruins and off course square up with some bigger and dangerous creatures. There’s quite a bit going on in Rain World so be prepared.

X35 Earthwalker Rain World

We checked out some Rain World gameplay and it’s basically what we expected. Rain World does remind us of a certain other game in some ways. That game is Abe’s Exodus. We like the whole food chain survival situation. We like the agility of the Slugcat and how he moves. The predators do look dangerous but we hope they have a bit more intelligence. The water looks cool in this game and the variety of threats are good too. flying foes and even an annoying centipede. Hopefully the scary rain plays an actual role in the gameplay.

Overall Rain World looks like a good game. Reviewers have rated it on the lower side but we will have to see for ourselves on the Xbox Series X. This is going to be an adventure for sure and probably got a lot of panic causing moments. The colours and visuals definitely should have been better. The developers ‘Videocult’ have done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to keep an eye open concerning this game. Now Rain World may have tasty Slugcats but they ain’t tasty enough for… the ‘Rain World’.

Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr Season 5

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000- Inquisitor - Martyr - Season 5

Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr is an action role playing game developed by ‘Neocore games‘ and published by ‘Bigben interactive‘. Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr isn’t new at all but what is new is Season 5. Season of judgement. This is what’s coming to consoles. Xbox Series X and PS5. So expect next gen season, said to come out on the 6th of July 2023. X35 Earthwalker doesn’t take orders from Inquisitors. Let’s take a look.

Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 brings about what you’d expect. Higher resolution textures, cross-gel multiplayer modes, native 4k support, enhanced shadows, and improved physics. Even the dual sense PS5 controller gets “fully utilised.” So it’s direct upgrade for sure.  

X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000- Inquisitor - Martyr - Season 5

So the people already playing Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor should automatically be happy. For those of you who are new listen up. The inquisitor is considered the imperium’s most powerful agent. Key word is agent. You have access to some crazy weapons. Your investigation will carry over multiple planets in the caligari sector.

We checked out some Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s destructible environments, vehicles and towers that you can use. For some reason there’s also a cover system. An action RPG like this definitely has a skill tree. A very big skill tree. There’s 3 character classes as well. So more layers to the flavour.

Overall Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 looks like a very good game. Fun too. There’s crafting and rightfully so, multiple weapons. Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 has also been described as a “persistent open world”. Last and best of all this game is multiplayer. 2 players locally and 4 player online. The developers Neocore games’ have done a very good job the season 5 of this game. X35 Earthwalker will now take this game somewhat seriously and look at it again. Now Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 may have a whole upgrade but it’s still too basic for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Cassette Beasts. Unique adventure

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Cassette Beasts

Cassette Beasts is an adventure role playing game developed by ‘Bytten Studio‘ and published by ‘Raw Fury‘. Cassette Beasts is available on Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch and pc. Right off the bat, X35 Earthwalker can confirm that Cassette Beasts is a fantastic game. No doubt about it. Cassette Beasts is its on thing and does it very well. Take a look.

Basically what’s going on is that you have somehow ended up on in this world. It’s not some normal place on earth. There’s some differences. For starters there are Cassette Beasts… these creatures are very creative and can be dangerous. Very dangerous. People ended up in New Wirral (the island you’re on) but from different places and sounds like different times too. So many questions and mysteries regarding this place. There’s even beings called archangels who are very powerful and not to be messed with. Just looking at some can really hurt.

X35 Earthwalker Cassette Beasts

Let’s make this clear. This isn’t like pokemon. Cassette Beasts is very unique. In pokemon you capture creatures and make them your own, while in Cassette Beasts you record creatures to have a copy of them. So the creature stays free. In pokemon you summon your creatures to battle. In Cassette Beasts you BECOME the creature you recorded. It’s you battling. In pokemon you have HM which are special moves to interact with certain things in the world, like slash down trees, move boulders, smash rocks, go across the seas etc. In Cassette Beasts you unlock permanent abilities from just recording a creature that has that ability. For example there’s a bullet creature that when you record you gain the rocket dash ability where you zoom really fast. Very useful. Lastly Cassette Beasts have fusion. Take two beasts and fuse them together to form a powerful beast that has all the moves of both creatures, has both creatures types as one and improved stats. A game changer for sure. Both are great but we want to make it clear that Cassette Beasts is it’s own thing.

X35 Earthwalker Cassette Beasts

The world in Cassette Beasts, is very lively. There’s puzzles, mysteries, boss battles, numerous creatures, different environments, unfair condition and much more. There’s many to speak to. There’s beast variants and exploration is heavily required. You need to face and defeat the ranger captains who can be real tough and off course find and defeat the archangels who who are even more powerful and at times unfair. So don’t think you are top dog in this world. Cassette Beasts can get brutal at times. Buy items from vendors and be prepared for anything. Here’s some gameplay below.

Here’s more gameplay.

We aren’t going to spoil anything for you. There’s lots to see. It’s truly an exciting adventure. We haven;’t finished the game yet but we are close. Just taking our time and exploring everything. Numerous side quests to complete and creatures to record. Including a metal boxing big dog creature. X35 Earthwalker is the best. So listen to him. So yeah. Cassette Beasts is currently available on the Xbox Game Pass as well. Now Cassette Beasts may have a unique biog adventure but it’s so small and generic when compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Front Mission 1st: Remake. Alright

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker front mission 1st remake

Front Mission 1st: Remake is a strategy Role Playing game developed and published by ‘Forever Entertainment‘. Front Mission 1st: Remake is said to be coming out the 30th of June 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. Already out on Nintendo Switch. Mechs, combat, strategy, movement? Alright. X35 Earthwalker Knows what mech games need. Let’s take a look.

The story in Front Mission 1st: Remake is normal-ish.  It’s the Year 2090. Battles are fought using mechs called Wanzers. Lame name. There’s two groups: Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) and Unified Continental States (U.C.S.). They don’t like each other and fight. Huffman island is the only place where they share a border. So yeah, conflict has started. Lieutenant Karen Meure goes missing and you, discharged from the military goes to find her. Of course nothing is simple or as they seem. Can you trust anyone?

X35 Earthwalker front mission 1st remake

You like mech games and strategy? You better. Front Mission 1st: Remake is focused on that to a medium level. So carefully place your units. Use the environment to your advantage and take them out. Customise your Wanzers and pilots. You can switch between the classic and modern mode. So old school players who knew this game can get a treat. Strategy games need to put in that extra layer for information. So make use of the free camera and the NEW tactical map.

X35 Earthwalker front mission 1st remake

When it comes to strategy games, we love to have details and information. We need numbers, designated paths or items, options, difficulty, control and so much more. When it comes to mechs though, there’s a whole lot of other needs. The mech animations, weapons, clear differences between designs. We aren’t easily satisfied. 

We checked out some Front Mission 1st: Remake gameplay and it’s not what we expected. Remember it’s a remake so we expect things to be next level but we aren’t getting that from what we can see, or feel. Its style is clearly different. Not our style though. Those who know the legacy of this game will be happy to see this.

Overall Front Mission 1st: Remake looks like an alright game. The graphics are very simple and the. Animations are basic too. We do like the mechs thrusting around for fast movement. The developers ‘Forever Entertainment’ have done an alright job with this. We at X35 Earthwalker hope this game does well. Now Front Mission 1st: Remake may have wanzers but they aren’t advanced enough to be used by… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Season 4: Infection. Halo Infinite

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Season 4: Infection. Halo Infinite

Season 4 for Halo Infinite is off course here. This brings the new Infection. Now many gamers have been waiting for this, including the greatest gamer X35 Earthwalker. The battle or should we say struggle between the infected and the survivors. Now Season 4 brought more than just Infection to Halo Infinite but it’s the main thing we will deal with in this G-Blog. Let’s take a look. 

Infection is simple concept. There are survivors who must survive against the infected. Both teams are human players. The round starts with two alpha infected who have abilities on top of high speed. They can use active camouflage and have Shroud Screen. This makes them a problem for sure. Every survivor they kill turns them into infected. those infected are weaker than the originals but can also infect others too. Thus it continues like zombies. Survivors have limited ammo and one chance to survive. The last survivor gets over shields for their final effort against the horde. There’s four rounds. So the player with the highest score wins.

X35 Earthwalker Season 4: Infection. Halo Infinite

Halo Infinite Infection season 4 already stands out from previous Halo Infections. This also seems to be the hardest one too. Not only do the infected have upgrades, their scariest factor is their speed. They are so fast. You miss or shoot to early with the shotgun then you are done. There is no second chance. Combine their speed with the slide and you can have some effective manoeuvres. Things can get scary because of this.

The scariest thing has to be when you are just moving through a map or looking around and you suddenly see a red dot on your motion tracker. You now know someone is there. They are sprinting for you and you got to act fast. Sadly cross play is forced on, which means console players have to play against pc trash. pc players have an advantage here once again. Not only do they get the aim advantage but they also have the high turn speed. They can instantly do a 180- turn and take out in pursuer infected. Not fair. Regardless Season 4: Infection can get sort of scary at times. Maybe a jump scare or two for the weaker players. 

X35 Earthwalker Season 4: Infection. Halo Infinite

Season 4 Halo Infinite also brought about a ‘Career Rank’ system. You start off as a Recruit but can make your way to General but the highest rank of all, basically reserved for the players with no life is ‘Hero’. That requires all kinds of grinding and saying goodbye to other games. It serves no real purpose except two show basically how long a player has been grinding Halo Infinite for since the launch of Season 4. Some cans use it to brag while others can use it to shame. 

There’s new suits and armour but they are very limited off course and have not caught our attention. They need to step up their game when it comes to armour design and armour options. Heavily feels like everyone is wearing the exact same thing with the exact same effects all,ost every match. That’s pathetic at this point. Halo 5 guardians did it better. 

Back to Season 4: Infection. X35 Earthwalker who is the best Halo player of all time, who has a life, isn’t a try hard and isn’t pc scum, had his first ever match of Infection. He was at a disadvantage as he avoided all details and news concerning Infection. He didn’t know much at all. didn’t even know what the new Spartan equipment was. Had to learn as he went. Things ended up going very well. Check out the match for yourself below.

Overall Season 4 of Halo Infinite is a good upgrade. You get two new maps: Forest and Scarr. New armour, mainly the Hazmat. New game mode off course, Infection. Career rank. New equipment: Quantum Translocator and Threat Seeker. New battle pass. Samurai Yoroi armour additional are back with the Tenrai II and III. Simply put there’s a bundle here but a medium level bundle. X35 Earthwalker will dive in a little more to see what this update truly has to offer. Now Halo Infinite may have the Season 4 update but it’s easily like 100 updates too small to entertain… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Chess Gambit. So Chess Right?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Chess Gambit

Chess Gambit is a board strategy game developed by ‘D-Lo games’ and published by ‘e-llusiontertainment’. Chess Gambit is said to be coming out the 16th of June 2023 on the Xbox Series X and Xbox One. It was already out on Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4. X35 Earthwalker never heard of this game before coming to Xbox. If you like chess then there shouldn’t be problems here.

Chess Gambit. It’s Chess. Do you like chess? No? Then go to the X35 Earthwalker gaming livestream channel for the best gameplay. If you do like chess then read on some more. Chess Gambit has more structure to it you can say. You and your opponent have castles to conquer. 

X35 Earthwalker Chess Gambit

Now Chess Gambit is modern which means expect animations and special effects. The chess pieces be moving out here. Not fully but moving still. It’s kind of like these chess pieces have something against each other. Like it’s personal. 

X35 Earthwalker Chess Gambit

If you want the classic view then Chess Gambit has that as well. So you can get all modern or classic. Regardless it’s still chess. But wait! There’s more! The environment where you play the chess matches are effected by day or night. So select the time you feeling.

X35 Earthwalker Chess Gambit

We checked out some Chess Gambit gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s off course the infamous battles against the computer. There’s 9 difficulty levels. Each victory against them gets you a trophy. So yeah, try your best to beat the cheating computer.

Overall Chess Gambit looks like another chess game. Not the craziest one nor the biggest one. We actually wanted to see more but there’s practically no gameplay. We want more than just chess. All these developers still don’t know how to make the ultimate chess game. no one has done it yet. The developers ‘D-Lo games’ have done an alright job. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what happens next. Now Chess Gambit may have castles but they would have been conquered instantly by… the ‘Earth Walk!’
