So yesterday was the first day to bungies new game Marathon and there server slam. I went in with some buddies to test it out and here are my initial thoughts.
The design in the menus definitely didnt like it gave me a headache looking at it i felt like I was watching an old Vhs movie the colors didnt help at all either.
The User interface needs work everything was so confusing and I felt everything blended in you have one menu option on the bottom left the other on the top right then in the middle left like god damn pick one spot and leave it at that fuck sakes.
The items are even more confusing since there mainly just different colors and while your in combat you dont really get a chance to read what shit is so you know what you need.
The pvp was very lackluster in the whole time i was playing we only came across 4 pvp battles and I felt that wasnt nearly enough.
The weapons were fun and the movement was ok. I know this was just the first day but these are my thoughts ill keep you posted as the server slam progresses
So ive been playing cult of the lamb on the nintendo switch and I gotta say the game has been a total blast.
For those that havent played or heard of it your a lamb thats sacrificed to prevent a great evil from happening except that by sacrificing you your brought face to face with the great evil who gives you power so you can start a new cult and bring him back to life.
Now this game has a lot of aspects from the dungeon crawling to building up the cult you always have something to do in the game and honestly it never gets old, from rituals to feast to building beds for your followers the game let’s you be who you want either good or evil its your choice and your not punished for it.
Now the dungeon aspect of the game I could compare it to moonlighter you have 5 dungeons each one needing to be beaten a few times in order to unlock the next one and so on but you also find people that help you along the way as well as new followers to worship you as you progress keep in mind each door has to be beaten 4 times on the 4th run you reach the final boss destroy him and unlock the chains on the final door but of course people wanna see you fail and will do stuff in order for you to fail.
Keeping your followers happy is huge and can be done between dungeon runs you clean up after them cook them food perform rituals and so one and the fact is your followers are adorable little animals in your lamb kingdom.
Ive never had so much fun with a game ive spent plenty of time just chilling with my followers making things better for them so they in turn can help me with upgrades and progression.
Cult of the lamb offers you a lot to do so your never bored and it runs great on the nintendo switch other then some small lag spikes and some loading times feel a bit longer the switch plays it like a champ and is the perfect handheld for cult of the lamb, there’s also plenty of dlc available which I havent gotten to purchase any as ive wanted to beat the base game so if you want a fun adventure with lots to do check out cult of the lamb its available on all consoles and pc through steam thank you all take care and game on
Hello everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about a game ive been enjoying my time with called Romeo is a dead man but first huge thank you to GrassHopper Manufacture Inc for sending me the game its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.
The game puts you into the shoes of main protagonist Romeo Stargazer ok right off the bat killer last name like damn the name alone screams this dude has a story so let’s try and talk about it. Again your Romeo a guy from a quiet town in Pennsylvania where our game starts us off you see hes out on patrol one night just talking with his partner when they encounter a body in the middle of the road that body turns out to be a white devil a monster that attacks Romeo essentially killing him and starting us out on our insane fucked up journey.
What is our journey well after Romeo dies hes saved by his grandfather using some future tech shortly after the space time continuum is fractured and everything goes into chaos you find out the girl of your dreams is somehow connected to it so you end up joining a special unit of the FBI that handles space time issues so you set out.
The game does a wonderful job with the intro telling you about the different evil people you come across at first and of course ending them along the way until it drops you in chapter 1 which I guess you could call it the tutorial chapter there you learn about everything the game has to offer now I played on pc and honestly between how much you have to memorize of the keyboard layout and the weird inputs I ended up just grabbing a controller and switching which might be the better option honestly.
So chapter one takes place in a weird forest you make your way through killing random zombies oh yeah the game is a zombie game I wish I had known that when I got it cause im not a fan of zombies games at all but I managed to push through we reach our first puzzle area where the game drops you in and out of sub space thankfully there so far you find no enemies and its all just different paths and puzzles to figure out once your done though your dropped back into regular space or time or at least what’s not sub space and you progress chapter one finishes with you finding Juliet well not your version but a random time criminal version and you know there’s a fight coming and boy is there a fight as this chick transforms into this ugly ass headless abomination thats the size of a 2 story house so let the boss fight commence.
The boss fight is straight forward take down the massive health bar by hitting the boss with combos and gun shots each boss has a weak spot in the form of a blue flower keep shooting it and eventually it explodes and does massive damage.
After the boss fight chapter 1 ends short and simple your then brought aboard the FBI ship where you will be spending a good amount of game time when your not out looking for bad guys to fight and there’s a lot to learn in this ship and learn you will as you meet new people learn new things and save your progress.
Romeo is a dead man offers its own unique take to the zombie genre and its well done the story is interesting the combat is smooth and the game has a lot to discover and unlock the game is divided into chapters and they dont feel overwhelming the game has 3 difficulties to choose from so your adventure is set to your own style do you want easy for story or hard for combat you pick.
During my time playing the game I didnt encounter any issues its ran smoothly on my pc and felt great with both mouse and keyboard as well as controller I cant wait to see what’s next for Romeo and the devs at GrassHopper thank you all for stopping by take care and game on
Hello everyone today I wanna take you on my epically failed adventure but first huge thank you to Poor Locke for sending me the key its greatly appreciated.
Crimson Capes is a story of betrayal as the witches of the kingdom have turned against the king and its up to your group the crimson Capes to destroy the traitors and bring justice to the kingdom.
You hunt down witches and monsters while exploring a 2D fantasy world of swords and sorcery in a pixel art format.
Your guild the crimson Capes leads the charge in this hunt there’s 4 members to the guild but you take control of there leader the game offers online Co op which I wasnt able to test out as well I didnt have anyone else that had access to the game and for a souls game the fact this has native Co op is pretty cool but im sure the difficulty increases as well.
Within the first 10 minutes you encounter a necromancer boss fight which is a 2 stage battle thankfully I was able to beat him or I wouldnt have been able to progress at the games bonfire which is a patch of blue flowers you get to level up and check things out one being the map yes a souls game with a map thank you and its a big map plenty to explore and do.
Now I did explore in my time playing I encountered 5 bosses but only able to defeat 2 of them the one boss which was part of a mission I couldn’t attack at all literally from the minute the fight start hes charging you and doesn’t let you breath worse the game doesn’t have a dodge roll you can only parry attacks and even that is an issue when the enemy is able to just keep attacking you.
Now im not a souls gamer I never liked the genre but I do my best to try the games out and give them a fair chance but the boss battles in this game aren’t even close to being fair so if your a fan of the souls genre jump in pick the game up im sure you will get further then me fights aside the game is beautiful and has an interesting story that actually made me wanna know more but when a boss kills me within 3 seconds of our fight starting im not wasting my time anymore thank you all and game on
Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about a fun rougelite thats ive been playing but first huge thank you to Wombo Games for sending me a key to check out there game so let’s dive in.
You may have heard of Raiders of Blackveil it released with a lot of issues but the devs have been hard at work knocking out issues and updating the game as it goes along and I was fortunate enough to get a key to check out there game after there most recent update so I cant talk about its history just its present but let me tell you im having a blast with the game.
So in Raiders you play from a select few characters trying to take down an evil corporation thats destroying everything around so each raid is where the fun starts you spawn on a sweet ship where its your home base there you have a variety of characters that help you on your missions from Muriel who helps you craft skills to Belmont who’s the merchant where you can buy and sell gear to my favorite the smugglar who will greet you every few levels and give you a chance on getting the best gear out of the game safely even if you die then there’s the big boss Atlas who helps upgrade the world maps so you can find better stuff for your runs and trust me the upgrades are worth it.
Right now there’s only 4 playable characters but from the character screen they plan for 12 which is gonna be awesome cause it adds so much variety to the game im guessing there’s multiplayer since your able to join or host your own games idk I havent been able to try it out being a solo player.
Then there’s 2 raid maps a meat factory and a harvest operation both maps have different enemies and offer there own unique experiences you also get a stash chest with 4 tabs for storing everything you get from raids and yes the chest is accessible across all characters so you dont have to worry about earning loot all over again for a new character run.
The games a rougelite its fun after each floor you pick how you progress there’s floors that grant you perks while others give you money or gear for clearing them you will also find floors with mini bosses and elite enemies you pass through over 20 stages before you go head to head with the boss and man did I get my ass kicked over and over until I finally was able to beat the boss for the meat factory at which point you get the choice to continue forward or extract back to the ship with your goodies.
This game has its own unique feeling between extraction and rougelite gameplay and its worth every bit of action you experience. I cant speak for the history of the game but for the present the game is awesome im having fun even with minimal lag spikes the game plays amazing and I cant wait to see what’s next between new maps and characters i wanna see what the devs at wombo have in store so dont be scared check out Raiders of blackveil and enjoy thank you for stopping by take care and game on.
Hey everyone hows it going today we are gonna talk about Cursed Blood a brutal gore filled action rougelike but first huge thank you to David Marquardt Studios for sending me a code to check out this beauty so let’s dive in.
Cursed Blood is about a shrine that used to balance the world by way of blood sacrifices but the old people died out and the shrine lay waiting for its next sacrifice now the corruption of the world along with its greed has thrown the balance out of whack and this is where we the player come in as we must fight and restore the balance by the way of Blood and trust me Blood it will be.
So you get to play as 1 of 4 vengeful Samurai Apes fueled by the rage of the shrine best part you dont have to go alone you see Cursed Blood is also a co op game for up to 4 players so grab your group of friends and let the chaos flow.
Now the game is a top down view like other rougelikes but plays a bit more similar in action to something like path of exile giving off the rpg vibes so you do have the rougelike aspects you find shrine buffs and you get to pick one theres also curses in this game that hinder you at certain shrines so every choice counts.
My favorite part of the game is the gore the Blood covering your screen during combat as well as the slicing enemies in half or into pieces you can also sneak up on them and do take downs since the game does have stealth.
This game has huge potential and I for one cant wait for its release in April so keep an eye out for this gem cause if you like action hack and slash some awesome gore and wanna play a kick ass ape samurai this is the game for you thanks for stopping by take care and game on
Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about the Ardenfall demo that I got to check out and enjoy so come along for the ride and let’s dive in
First off its a fantasy rpg so if you have played games like the elden scrolls you will fit right in as this game i feel uses those games as a huge inspiration. The demo gave me about 83 minutes of play time between all the reading and adventuring.
So the game starts you with a story of a horrible storm sending you off course crashing to an island you wake up and the first thing you do is create a character which has some great selections to it. And then once completed you wake up on a beach with another npc that tells you what happened and how to proceed.
From the beach you find a cave and off you go to start your adventure the combat that I experienced in the cave was great it felt smooth but a bit delayed at times but nothing that I couldn’t deal with once you reach the end of the cave your at your first village of Bisawa where people do not take kindly to you but its where you get your first real mission but I wont spoil it.
You get a giant number bar for your weapons and spell a total of 9 different items can be equipped which is bad ass honestly giving you plenty of variety.
Even tho the demo was short this game has huge potential and I cant wait to see more of it I hope it releases soon head over to steam and check it out thank you for stopping by take care and game on.
Derby, UK (5th February 2026) — BULKHEAD and Team17 today announced WARDOGS, a Tactical All Out Warfare FPS coming to Steam Early Access in 2026. This is not a battle royale. This is not an extraction shooter. This is a brand-new take on large-scale FPS that prioritises tactical depth, teamplay, and player freedom.
Watch the announcement trailer here:
WARDOGS is a Tactical All Out Warfare FPS where one hundred players are split across three teams and fight for control of a central zone. Set in the derelict industrial mountains of Eastern Europe, it plays out on a destructible battlefield where cash is earned and cash is king.
The game mode – Inspired by Arma 3’s community created mod ‘King of the Hill’ – has three teams fight for control of a randomized 2x2km central ‘Control Zone’ within its large 256km² map. The team with the most players within the control zone earns points – with the first team to reach 100 points winning the match.
At the core of WARDOGS is a persistent cash system that ensures every decision actually matters. Each life, you purchase a custom loadout from a wide selection of weapons, gear, utility items, and vehicles to help your team win the match. Every teamplay action in the Control Zone rewards cash from reviving squadmates, transporting friendlies to the zone, or controlling the objective. WARDOGS doesn’t just encourage teamplay; it rewards it. It is the player’s choice how they want to play, earn, and spend their profits.
Cash earned is banked into your account and persists from match to match – meaning a smart investment into better gear, equipment or a vehicle at the right time has the potential to turn the tide of battle and can yield massive returns. The variables in zone location and player tactics mean no match ever plays out the same.
The battlefield also evolves through destruction and base building. Structures can be damaged, destroyed, fortified, or repurposed, allowing teams to shape important locations without flattening the entire environment. Planning, coordination, and adaptability are rewarded over raw reflexes alone.
WARDOGS is powered by BULKHEAD’s proprietary War Dynamics Framework, a custom framework built on top of Unreal Engine designed to support large scale, player driven warfare. Developed in collaboration with real world specialists including aerospace and ballistics experts, the framework delivers grounded vehicle handling and consistent weapon behaviour while supporting the game’s scale, persistence, and reward driven systems.
WARDOGS also marks a new chapter for BULKHEAD, which is now independently owned by the developers themselves once again following its separation from Tencent. With full creative control restored, the team is building WARDOGS transparently alongside its community and the original mod creators ‘Sa-Matra’. Early Access in 2026 will focus on refining the game’s core systems, expanding features & content and responding directly to player feedback.
Asthenia is a Dark Fantasy Adventure Set in An Ancient, Dying World
Uncover the truth behind a rotting dimension ruled by ancient gods, where grief, faith, and irreversible choices shape your fate.
Asthenia is a darkfantasyadventure set in a decaying otherworld plagued by a mysterious corrupting disease. Players step into a bleak dimension ruled by anciententities, shaped by loss, and slowly collapsing under the weight of an endless war.
You play as Adam, an ordinary man cast into this world alongside other humans. To survive, Adam must confrontdistortedfoes, uncover tainted artifacts, and navigate hostile environments ranging from abandoned towns and industrial ruins to forgotten temples. Resources are scarce, dangerisconstant, and every decision carries weight as Adam searches for answers, and a way back to the one he loves.
Combat focuses on deliberate, close-rangeencounters using the Ancient Gauntlet, a primordial relic that doubles as both weapon and tool for interacting with the environment. With no maps or quest markers, Asthenia challenges players to rely on observation, memory, and intuition to progress.
Storytelling unfolds through environmental details, fragmented letters, unsettling sound cues, visual symbolism, and Adam’s own narration.
Drawing tonal inspiration from Resident Evil 7, Silent Hill, Outlast,and Dark Souls, Asthenia blends oppressive atmosphere, lore-rich worldbuilding, and non-handholding design into a deeply personal journey through decay, loss, and transformation.
“Asthenia was born from a deeply personal place,” said Manthos Lappas, solo developer of Asthenia.
“I wanted to create a world that feels oppressive, mysterious, and alive – where discovery is earned, not handed to the player, and where every action carries real weight.”
A World Ruled by Decay– Explore a haunting dimension ravaged by disease, ancient war, and forgotten civilizations.
The Ancient Gauntlet– Engage in challenging close-range combat and interact with the environment using a primordial relic fueled by limited energy resources.
Non-Handholding Design– No mini-maps and no quest markers. Progress through observation, memory, and experimentation.
Meaningful Choices & Multiple Endings– Split paths and three distinct endings shaped by player decisions and actions.
Lore-Rich Environmental Storytelling– Uncover the narrative through letters, symbolism, sound cues, whispers, and echoes of the past.
AVAILABILITY
Asthenia is currently in development for PC via Steam.
A playable demo is coming soon, and players can wishlistthegametoday to follow future updates.
Hello everyone today we dive into a new game that recently released called Echoes of Elysium but first massive thank you to Loric Games and Snail Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.
So echoes of elysium takes place in Greek mythology your people have disappeared and there’s no one left the gods have cut off access to your realm and you wake up alone what could be the last survivor of your people great story concept adds plenty of mystery and definitely makes me question what happened to my people after the cut scene of the game telling you all this your dropped into the game.
And when I mean dropped I do mean literally dropped theres no tutorial which for a game that calls itself a survival crafter game there should definitely be a tutorial I dont mind learning some stuff but the fact im going in blind and have to learn everything huge issue for me and not a fan of it honestly.
Whatever spirit or goddess finds you tells you your still being hunter to craft a ship and find the closest light house ok cool so you can give me a mission but you cant tell me how to build or anything nope I dont like that one bit and the area you start in is small and barely has any resources to farm now mind you that there’s resources floating in bubbles all around you that you can grab but the game gives you no info on how to do that it doesn’t even offer you a movement tutorial and you need one considering you have some mythical jet pack to fly around with that honestly dies faster then just flying with wings.
And this was all in the first 5 minutes of the game I know not off to a great start but let’s continue as I progress and figured stuff out I manage to expand my ship with much annoyance and find said light house where I have to fight a robot with no weapon cause I dont have the right materials to make one go figure but that robot went down and I had a small base of operations after which I looked around and admired the area and surrounding which let’s be honest its a beautiful game it really is the reason you need a ship and jetpack is cause during the cutscene it tells you how all the islands started floating away and now there in the sky so your a mythical flying pirate captain lmao (laughing my ass off) which is pretty cool.
Visually the game is stunning the ship doesn’t look half bad after you get it to a good enough size but there’s a lot to craft and learn if you wanna be viable after trying it by myself for a bit I jumped on with a friend who wasnt having a great play time as he was finding bugs left and right many which the devs already know of and are working fast on fixing which huge shout out to the devs for being on top of there game.
Now for multiplayer I had a blast playing with my friend I didnt experience as many problems as he did but the ones we experienced together are a bit game breaking for example there’s the issue with npc respawns happening almost immediately after there killed as well as one of the robot birds despawning right as there about to be killed now the devs know about these issues there discord has been active non stop with people reporting bugs and the devs talking about it the game has gotten a big update to help and the devs are still hard at work my experience aside this game is worth it and being part of the journey and the fix makes me feel good about myself as a gamer and I know these devs appreciate all the feed back and help there getting the constant updates to fix stuff shows that even though they may have missed stuff during development doesn’t mean there moving on there fixing everything and showing us gamers they mean business.
This game is in early access you can wait a bit for more updates or pick it up and help the devs out on there journey either way echoes of elysium is a fun game with awesome crafting and some intense flying thank you for stopping by take care and game on.
Gaming with Noobs
