V Rising Review - Come For The Vampires, Stay For The Castle-Building
- By Ash
- in Reviews
Vampires used to be horrifying, bloodthirsty monsters, but somewhere along the way they turned into brooding prettyboys that stalk schoolgirls. V Rising says 'no' to all of that nonsense.
Here, you are a proper vampire - a true villain. You burn in sunlight, you eat people, and you even put pineapple on your pizza! But being the bad guy does come with some great perks. You get a cool coffin to sleep in, a pile of magical weapons, and even a swarm of... um, 'interns' to do all of your busywork.
Daimon Blades Beginner’s Guide - 13 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting
- By Ash
- in Tips and Guides
Daimon Blades, much like its predecessor E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy, is cryptic and kinda janky. So if you've got no idea what's going on, don't worry - I've been there too.
Hey folks, I'm Ash and today I wanna share 13 things I wish I knew when I first started, so you can skip the whole trial-and-error phase and just focus on having fun. So without wasting any more time, let us begin.
Daimon Blades Review - Is It Worth Playing? (Early Access)
- By Ash
- in Reviews
Daimon Blades is a brutally fast hack-and-slash roguelite set in the wonderfully weird universe of E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy. You know you’re in for a wild ride when the game opens with a thesaurus explaining what the hell its name even means, then immediately dumps you into actual hell to fend off hordes of demons. Much like E.Y.E., it’s janky and cryptic, but also endlessly fascinating.
Hey folks, I’m Ash, and let me show you what Daimon Blades has to offer, where it excels, and also where it stumbles.
Darktide Beginner’s Guide - Fun & Powerful Build for Every Class (Bound by Duty Update)
- By Ash
- in Tips and Guides
The Bound by Duty update has completely shaken up Darktide. Veterans, Zealots and Psykers now have brand-new talent trees, and there’s a pile of shiny new weapons to mess around with. So I figured this was the perfect time to put together five builds - one for each class - that are not just strong, but also a ton of fun to play and show off the new toys.
Are these the 'perfect' builds? Probably not - the patch is still fresh, and the meta’s going to shift. But I can promise you this: every build here can comfortably handle Auric Maelstrom missions, and even push into mid-level Havocs without too much trouble. So without further ado, let's dive in!
Little Nightmares 3 - Is It Worth Playing?
- By Ash
- in You Should Try
Hey folks, I'm Ash and I dug into Little Nightmares 3's demo as a complete newcomer to see if it's worth playing without any of the backstory - and to break down what it does well, and where it falls flat on its face.
How dark is too dark?
The first thing that stood out to me is just how dark the game is - not thematically, but literally. The recommended settings make most areas so pitch black that you barely see what you're doing. That's not spooky atmosphere, it's just annoying. So make sure to bump up the gamma and you'll get all of that creepy atmosphere while actually being able to see weird stuff like... whatever this is!
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Review [1.0] – Is It Worth Playing?
- By Ash
- in Reviews
Survivor takes all of the chaos of Deep Rock Galactic and dumps it onto the shoulders of one poor Dwarf. No backup, no respawns - it's just you, a mountain of minerals to mine, and about a billion angry bugs.
Hey folks, I'm Ash and today we're gonna find out if Survivor lives up to the Deep Rock Galactic name, or if it stumbles around like a Dwarf after one too many drinks at the Abyss Bar.
Moros Protocol - Dead Space Meets Doom | Is It Worth Playing?
- By Ash
- in You Should Try
Do you like being crushed by giant women wielding swords? If so, understandable - and boy have I got a game for you. Moros Protocol is a gritty sci-fi roguelite - think Dead Space meets Doom - with crunchy combat, a world that's quite literally oozing atmosphere, and a persistent annoyance in a mechsuit who's somehow thicker than a bowl of oatmeal after you’ve dumped in four extra scoops.
Hey folks, I’m Ash, and with Moros Protocol launching soon, I dove into the demo to see what it's really packing, and whether it's actually worth your time.
