Cyberpunk 2077 Review – Cyberjunk 2020?

Eight whole years since the first announcement of Cyberpunk 2077, eight whole years. We got our first trailer in 2013, then silence. The trailer was classy and looked every part next-gen, perfectly accompanied by the song Bullets, by British avant-garde rock band Archive. It blew me away, and hype began. Then, radio silence ended E3 2018 and, Keanu Reeves happened... so all aboard the hype train again! "Wake The F*** Up Samurai, We Have A City To Burn" - Welcome To Cyberpunk 2077 Cyberpunk 2077 is an action role-playing game that was released on December 10th, 2020 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.

Black Desert – Are Console MMORPGs Worth It?

Black Desert is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Korean developer Pearl Abyss that was ported to PlayStation and Xbox in 2019. Originally on the PC it got a huge following with over 10 million registered users. Its huge open world and a new take on manual aiming in combat was a big appeal to gamers. Development had started back in 2018 on a prequel called Crimson Desert but it was later scrapped in favour of it being a stand-alone IP with its own storyline and new characters. Gameplay While Black Desert is gorgeous to look at and the gameplay is swift, smooth and addictive. The rest is a complete let down. One thing that this game does better than anyone else is the customization of your character. It is so in-depth it is unreal. So many hairstyles to ...

Hades – Best Hack ‘n Slash Ever?

Hades, developed and published by Supergiant Games (Pyre, Transistor and Bastion) is a colourful and humorous rogue-lite dungeon crawler based around Greek Mythology. Do not think for a second that this is an RPG turn-based affair as while the influence may be loosely based on the strategy genre, the actual experience you have is a mixture of Supergiant's previous games. Let's take a look! Gameplay In Hades, you play as Zagreus who is the son of Hades. The aim is simple, escape from the underworld. What proceeds is a very fast-paced hack and slash dungeon run whereby you get through as many rooms as you can before you inevitably die. Don't worry, this is all part of the story, and it is through perishing that you progress the story. You begin the game in Tartarus, a deep ...
