Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Edition – Bait & Switch

Bulletstorm was developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games, and originally released on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Windows way back in 2011.

Developed by Panache Digital Games in Montreal, and published by Private Division, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey was released on August 27th, 2019 for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games store. I will be playing on PC using an Xbox One controller for this review. The lead designer of the game, Patrice Désilets, created the hugely successful Assassin's Creed franchise. It's time to swing on in and see if the first game from Panache Digital Games can survive the jungle of the game industry. Gameplay Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a fairly complicated game. It is a single-...
