Greedfall 2 the dying world

Greedfall the dying world is the newest entry in the series by Nacon who were kind enough to send me a copy which is greatly appreciated so let’s talk a bit about the game.

So Greedfall the dying world isnt a sequel its a prequel to the first game it takes place in your homeland of Teer Fradee, if you havent played the first one you wont be missing out on much except maybe some characters that progress to the first game but other then that, the game is its own story. So you the main character will be placed on a sorta coming of age journey around the island which has many beautiful sites to see and plenty to learn and discover. Theres plenty to do in the early stages as you progress the main mission.

My biggest issue i have is with the missions if your not careful on how you do things you lock yourself out and there’s no way to return to previous choices in my play through I got locked out of an important option and the game left me no choice but to start over which sucks all that time lost, the second go was much better I managed to do the things I needed to do to progress the main story.

My next problem with the game and this is strictly personal preference is the combat is am not one for tactical combat i like to brute force things and overwhelm i like to keep attacking until the enemy is down and out but in this game everything had timers I had to wait for and honestly the combat felt very confusing at times but I tried to get through it theres 3 combat options and I went with the one where I just had to worry about my character so for players that love intense combat and tactical approach this game is definitely for you.

Now this game is beautiful I played on console on my ps5 and man just watching the characters during conversations and seeing how detailed they were it truly was beautiful to see and the environment was just as beautiful the fall colors in the trees the clear water its hard not to stop and admire everything the team at Nacon really did an amazing job with the beauty of this game.

All in all it’s enjoyed my time with greedfall a dying world but the combat is just something I cant get over and dont really wanna spend every fight trying to master something that I wont enjoy but thats on me my playstyle the game is worth it so check it out and enjoy it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Outriders

Not many games grab my attention anymore let alone keep it but for a while now I had been wanting to play outriders it gave me destiny vibes with the powers and space background so when I bought a new ps5 I made it my goal to get outriders and I did and damn what a fucking game.

Now for those who dont know outriders was made by the team at people can fly and published by square Enix releasing back in 2021 I didnt get to play during its prime and I wish I had.

The story follows you the player who’s an outrider having just landed on Enoch a new planet after we left our home of earth since it was dying and crumbling. Enoch when you land is beautiful its amazing the flora and animals its everything you would dream of it reminded me of the world in James Cameron’s Avatar just beautiful, but then the storm shows up and everything goes to hell you escape only to get thrown into cryo and then you wake up.
Now this is where shit gets real what feels like minutes to you maybe hours is actually 30 years and everything is hell the beautiful world you saw is no more now its just a waste land and everyone trying to survive at least what’s left of it.

Now the game starts you off meeting some people you knew saving others and throwing you right into the chaos and I for one was up for it im not a fan of slow starts in action games and as someone who had tons of hours in Destiny and played a good amount of borderlands I had some expectations for this game when it came to the loot and it didnt disappoint at all the gear and guns had mods that helped you out and made you stronger but wait im getting ahead of myself you see just after you wake up you pick your class which is where all your powers are born from and how the game really becomes fun I picked pyromancer a mid range fighter that also self heals which for my play style is perfect since I like to pretend im a tank and jump in the middle of hell.

Theres a few classes to choose from a tank a support and the midrange i might have to go back and try another class but I have a lot of cleaning up to do in my game. Now the game is multiplayer so you can play with others or go at it alone and the best part there’s tiers so you start at tier 0 if thats to easy it moves up in total there’s 15 tiers of difficulty but each rewards you even more if you play the higher tiers.

The story was amazing everytime I played I wanted to know more it got to the point where I stopped doing side quest and exploring because I needed to know what the hell was going on and by god the discoveries the plot twist everything was just insane by the time I reached the ending of the game my jaw was on the floor needing more, yes there is a dlc which I hope to be able to get sometime soon so I can continue with whatever story they added there. I never expected the story to be so amazing you can tell the dev team really had high hopes for this game and I curse square Enix for pulling the damn plug.

This game goes on sale often I ask all of you give it a chance play it its on pc Xbox and ps5 the game is amazing the story leaves you wanting more the ending top tier I highly recommend this game and to the devs I hope you can someday give us the second game that so many of us really want thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Romeo is a Dead Man

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

Crimson Capes

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

Ardenfall Demo

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.

Echoes of Elysium

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.

Rouge Night

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about a sweet little indie game called Rouge Night but first huge thank you to Grey November Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated it now let’s dive in.

The first issue i had with the game was a bit game breaking I opened a cave door and everytime I went in the game crashed on me I reported it to the devs on there discord as another player had the same issue they told me to give them some time which I did the next date an update went live for the game fixing the door that really impressed me the devs were quick responsive and didnt brush me off they made me feel like my worth as a player was worth more then gold and it felt awesome another time i was experiencing lag and crashing talked to the devs again and after some back and forth they were able to recreate the issues and send out a fix this is how devs keep gamers by talking and showing up for them and I for one will definitely stay, now the reason I started with this is cause I wanna show gamers out there that devs do listen.

Those are literally the only issue’s ive had with the game which is an rougelike sandbox open world survival crafting and ima throw in rpg cause you do missions lol but yeah you start the game and talk to a spirit fox which guides you with your missions telling you where to go you make your way out of a forest to this castle city thats in ruins as the zombies destroy everything, now im not a huge fan of zombies I hate horror games but I gave this one a shot the graphic style didnt make anything over scary like in an actual horror game on the contrary the zombies looked adorable and made me wanna fight them all even more.

The game offers a good variety of weapons from a sword to daggers to a spear and great sword and everything else the game offers cant spoil it all. Most weapons are found on enemies or on the ground so make sure you fight alot cause you will need to.The map is big and there’s lots to explore and plenty of missions to do i think there were 8 pages of missions but im sure more will be added down the line.

You also get to build a house where survivors you find will gather yes there’s other living people in the game thankfully, I did realize that when you die you lose everything and restart over I havent had a chance to ask about that so ill update if I get to ask. there’s also some pretty intense bosses as well first one I found was a giant spider and boy do I hate spiders.

This game is fun its simple its not very demanding or taxing on your system and honestly it deserves more eyes on it I cant wait to see how the game turns out and what more they add to it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

RougeMatch the Extraplanar Invasion on switch

First off huge thank you to starstruck games for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated now let’s talk about it.

I played rougematch on the nintendo switch I was going in expecting a simple match 3 game and boy do I wanna kick my own ass for being so wrong about this game that I dont even know where to start off. So ill try my best.

So the game follows a group of friends that found an old castle thats protected by a magical barrier, one thats no one has been able to enter the friends camp out in the night to regain there energy but the mage thinking they were all powerful snuck off and went into the castle hoping to beat it and get back to there friends before sunrise but boy we’re they wrong, then the paladin of the group rushes after the mage basically leaving our character alone and clueless of what’s going on until we jump in the castle and find a recording of our mage friend leaving instructions on the castle and how to progress so we do.
This game takes match 3 to a whole nother level first the puzzle is laid around you and you use the joy stick to select pieces to try and match up I feel they should have made the joy stick for movement and cross buttons for selecting but I digress so there’s monsters in the castle and if they get close they will attack but you can attack them back by matching 3 pieces or by walking into them but becareful you do have a health bar and stats to play with.

Now you have a mana range and inside that range some matches heal your character so your not screwed in combat thinking your done for when you lose health you can heal thankfully. There are also spells and abilities that help you fight but use up mana like an old school rpg so watch out for everything and pay attention.

Each elemental piece offers different effects when triggered and if near a monster will affect them and maybe even stun them for a bit to help you breath in combat.

You also find magic items that are hidden in wall safes that open up when the room is cleared which is pretty cool since you never know what will drop.

This game has 5 different ways of clearing a room and an objective marker telling you what you need to do so your not going into the rooms blind.

I could go on but this game is huge and has so much you need to learn to play is it easy yeah but it has a learning curve that thankfully isnt to hard and yes the game has a tutorial to tell you how to play. The story is divided up into chapters and sadly im struggling so bad to get through the castle I dont know when ill experience the rest also watch out for bosses there mean huge and kick ass but you gotta play to see how huge.

Again big thank you to star struck games for sending me the key this game is on the switch its called RougeMatch the Extraplanar Invasion check it out and enjoy thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Hotel Galactic

Hey everyone hows it going Happy New Years and welcome to 2026, today I wanna thank Ancient Forge, for sending me a copy of there awesome game Hotel Galactic so let’s dive in and talk about it.

So Hotel Galactic is a hotel builder game with a great story and draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli which is very obvious in both the art style and characters in the game.

So you the player are what’s called a pilgrim a spirit that comes upon the Hotel in ruins and its staff super upset as they failed to make an impact. so there’s a bit of a 4th wall break with the way they interact with you which I think is very cool and actually makes me feel like its more then just a game. The crew basically gives you control of the hotel and grounds and its up to you to give it life again and guess what, life we shall give it.

So in story mode your following everything at a set pace to start out with you slowly start fixing the hotel and bringing it back once the hotel is done you work on the landing pad which is where flying ships will land and let people off so they can stay at your hotel, yes your read that right flying ships you see this is where the galactic part in the name shines as your hotel is on a floating island out in space surrounded by other planets but you learn that when you open the games map and check it out.

So the first person you meet after the hotel opens is the most important character in the game Captain Pouncy Paws after some talking she agrees to help you and she will be the ship that brings people to your hotel.

After the great Captain is the merchant ship Captained by Silver who will make it obvious right from the get go all he wants is money but he does start by helping you out with some great stuff and then gives you a summon icon where you can summon him when you need it but you gotta wait 8 hours for him to show up thankfully time goes by very fast in the game.
Then soon after another captain shows up by the name of mogumo and hes just as important as he brings new workers your way yes you do have to pay to hire them but they each have talents and specialty so knowing what you need is a good way of knowing who to hire.

The game offers a variety of species of personal all of which are adorable in there own way you have the pington race which are a short species that have a trumpet horn for a nose and enjoy music which they will let you know so you can make there stay that more enjoyable, after you have the toravis which remind me of horses with there appearance they to will tell you what they like and there focus is on tranquility and peace also showers they love a good shower then the 3rd race you come across is the derret which are tall ferret looking creatures but since you have 2 of them as workers you see them right from the start.

The story follows Gustav the ghost and former owner of the hotel who lives his days in regrets over how bad he did running the hotel but thanks to some awesome friends and you the player you show him the beauty of the hotel as your transform it and grow it.

This game offers a story mode and sandbox mode and honestly my opinion is do the story mode first you wont regret it one bit, its enjoyable and will make you smile even though ive already come across some people that I despise with a burning passion im sure you will to once you meet them.

For a hotel management game its fun ive lost track of time playing this game and all I wanna do is play more I really would like to see some new species added to the game maybe more story in the form of DLC.

Now the early game is slow and sometimes a bit stressful until your able to hire more workers your stuck with 3 employees which feels like a strain when you start getting busy between crafting the stuff you need making food for guest and just surviving the game feels like you need a lot of workers from the start but soon things get easier and enjoyable.

The game has what you would call a skill tree where you unlock upgrades for new tools and more decorations for your hotel rooms which you will wanna use it helps out.

I think my favorite part is the rating system each guest rates there stay when they check out and it goes against your score so far im holding at a 4.8 score out of 5 but its a lot of work finding the balance to make everyone happy.

If you like cozy management games then this game is for you and if your a fan of studio ghibli then enjoy the game as well the inspiration is enjoyed all in all i definitely recommend this game thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Magic Forge Tycoon

First off huge thank you to Clever Trickster Studios for sending me a review key to check out there game Magic Forge Tycoon its greatly appreciated so let’s jump in and talk about this.

I hope Clever Trickster studios can forgive me on the late review life got busy for me and I wasnt able to get to this sooner.

So this is a tycoon game where you run your own magical forge the tutorial option is available after you design your emblem and name your forge which that alone is a huge fun boost for me nothing like running my family company into the ground with my choices.

So the tutorial starts you off easy you pick a blueprint you wanna work on and off you go. If you’ve played game dev tycoon then you will feel right at home with this system so after you start the build your greeted with a pop up that has 3 sliders these sliders represent the build its style and the way its forged you get 3 pop ups total each with different sliders and yes its a guessing game at first but the more you build the same item over and over the more information you gain from the build unlocking these green bars under the sliders which are your favorite areas meaning these spots guarantee success in your endeavors but they can still be tweaked to get better scores.

Next is the money aspect after all your running a forge you need an income so the sale screen shows you the kingdoms where you can open up stalls for a price gaining a reputation with that kingdom. This aspect is my favorite part of the game you see your able to tell the kingdoms status by hovering over there name you can see there military power and there wealth and trust me more money means more sales at least thats how I see it.

On the world map you see the kingdoms that are available this is also where you gain special missions from them for special gears or regular gear as well you see completing orders gains you coin and reputation but be careful you see on this screen you will see what kingdoms have issues with each other and which ones are at war and sadly you cant help one kingdom without hurting your status with other kingdoms which sucks im nothing but a humble blacksmith trying to carve out a living but life has other plans for me.

The guild tab let’s you buy other blueprints so you can craft other weapons maces and staffs you have a decent variety and I really like that from this game but watch your money as it spends fast sometimes faster then you can earn. The guild tab also has all the upgrade paths for your forge which is awesome as when your on the forge screen you see whatever upgrades you buy happen in real time these small touches definitely make the game more fun knowing my hard work is paying off.

Yes you can lose the game if you spend to long broke the guild shuts you down and sadly I dishonored my family name in my tutorial run and went bankrupt but you live and learn and get better.

All in all this is a fun cozy game and good time killer and tons to figure out and learn and its definitely worth it the game releases early 2026 on steam so keep an eye out for it and add it to your growing collection thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
