Beast of Reincarnation PC Review

Beast of Reincarnation is an Action, Adventure, RPG from the studio GAME FREAK. Yes, the studio that makes almost only Pokemon religiously made another game. Which still has us fighting alongside a beast of some type however we can't choose who it is. But, I wouldn't trade Koo for anything in the world. Now lets go fetch us some Nishi to eat and start the review! So, I can raise normal chickens, but in this world I can get golden eggs but not GOLDEN CHICKENS!!!! Gameplay In Beast of Reincarnation, we play as Emma. A young girl who is a Purifier or a Stain person that everyone calls her because she's just like the beasts. Her ponytail exhibits similar traits to Koo's tail and some of the enemies we come across. The world has a few automatons or golems as they call it who get corrupt. T...

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Legacy Edition – PC Review

Aspyr Media has moved on from the old school Tomb Raiders and have recently set their sights on The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. The Legacy edition ports the original 2011 release into the Steam library for old and new fans to pick up the controller on this classic. They're taking the hobbits to Isengard and we're heading in a different direction! Gameplay War in the North takes place just before the events of the Fellowship of the Ring. The game starts with the three main characters meeting with Aragorn in the Prancing Pony. It's an exploration into the darker side of Middle Earth and you can take up to two friends along for the ride with you. This game is the epitome of old school RPGs. All three main characters have their own, unique skill tree. Creating the perfect squa...

EVERSPACE 2: Galactic Edition – Switch 2 Review

Space games have always been a bit of a mixed bag for me. There are some absolute classics out there, such as Star Wars Squadrons, Elite, Federation of Free Traders (yeah, I'm showing my age with that last one). Still, quite a few can be either too complicated, too slow or just feel like you're spending more time looking at menus than actually flying a spaceship. EVERSPACE 2 manages to avoid most of those problems by mixing fast-paced space combat with exploration, RPG mechanics, loot, crafting and a surprisingly substantial story. Originally released on PC in 2023 before making its way onto PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, EVERSPACE 2 has now arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 in the form of the Galactic Edition. This is the complete package, including the main game, the Titans expansion, ...

Viking Frontiers – PS5 Review

Grab your axe and bow, and get ready to fight for survival! Developed by BLUM Entertainment, Viking Frontiers puts you in the role of a surviving member of a Viking clan cast out of their homeland. You'll need to hunt, build, and raid your way to the top, as you attempt to keep your clan alive. After its release on Steam last year, Viking Frontiers is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Despite the mixed reception received for the PC version, I was nonetheless excited to try this one out! Survival is Everything in Viking Frontiers... When it Works Viking Frontiers opens in the most generic way imaginable. A quick text crawl sets the scene: your father has had his Jarl rights stripped from him during a time of political unrest. With your clan chased out of their homelan...

Celestial Return – PC Review

Celestial Return is a narrative RPG set in a dystopian near-future with similarities to Cyberpunk 2077, Disco Elysium and movies like Blade Runner. It is made by developer Metaphor Games (Cult of the Yellow King) and published by Shoreline Games (Onirism). The juxtaposition of Celestial Return's title and the setting caught my attention. And it didn't disappoint in how the plot progresses or in how the narrative choices play out. Celestial Return is available now on Windows. Will you listen to the angel or the devil on your shoulder? Celestial Return's protagonist is Howard, a former officer of the Paranormal Investigation Division (PID) and now a grizzled private detective. The game's prologue sees the police tackling a raid on the Abstracts, a race of creatures that seemingly phase in ...

Granblue Fantasy Relink: Endless Ragnarok PC Review

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is a DLC for Granblue Fantasy: Relink. This DLC has added new characters to play with, new quests and a good amount of content. There's a lot of good in the game. But oh boy do I have several opinions of what I've gone through. Like...maybe it'll be a normal length. The whole process to just start the story is really feeling endless... Gameplay Now I must prefer that you will have a very long journey if you're trying to reach the start of the story. What I mean is after you've done all the stuff in the main game, you're halfway to Endless Ragnarok. Why do I say you're halfway there? Because you'll need to repeat what you did for Chapter Zero and go out and complete a certain quest. The amount of quests you need to complete building the do...

Gothic 1 Remake – PC Review

Gothic 1 Remake is an open-world RPG developed by Alkimia Interactive and published by THQ Nordic. The Barcelona-based developers have brought back to life this 2001 German jewel, which at the time of its release was considered one of the best European-made games. The project for the remake was first revealed in 2019. Seven long years later, devotees of the game are longing to know one thing: Has it aged like milk or like fine wine? Grab a pike and a shovel, we're digging for the truth in the ancient ore mines of Myrtana! Between A Hard Place And A Rock Gothic 1 Remake stays fiercely loyal to its source material. Not even as much as a cutscene has been altered from the original game. This is, of course, to be expected, since any alterations may provoke the fury of keyboard warrior...

Fatekeeper – PC Early Access Preview

Fatekeeper is a first-person RPG now available in early access. In development by Paraglacial with publishing by THQ Nordic, this solo adventure has you wielding melee weaponry and magic as you explore ancient ruins and encounter an assortment of creatures who have only your death in mind. You can pick it up now only for PC on Steam. Similar Look, Different Feel in Fatekeeper I think I’ve played a cumulative total of less than 20 hours of Skyrim and other Elder Scrolls games. Apart from ESO, anyhow. But it feels like the most direct comparison at a glance when you see screenshots and videos of Fatekeeper. Sure, it probably has some similarities, such as perspective and visuals. But what makes it different? Let’s take a look at this early access state below. Gameplay Fatekeeper is a...

Bellwright – PS5 Preview

After two years in Ealy Access on Steam, Bellwright has come to consoles! Available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, how does this mediaeval-themed open-world survival game fare on the new hardware? Developed by Donkey Crew, Bellwright is still labelled as Early Access on Steam, and states that the console versions will be updated alongside it as it heads to a 1.0 release. With that said, let's preview this intriguing-looking title, shall we? Bellwright, or Bellwrong? It's rare for games to come to PS5 whilst still being worked on (updates and DLC notwithstanding), so I was intrigued to see if Bellwright was even in a playable state! The story opens with little more than a text box explaining a little about your situation. Years ago, your family fled the Karvenian uprising. A...
