Routine. robotic foes are after you. X35 Earthwalker

Routine is a First person shooter (FPS) sci-fi survival horror game developed by ‘Lunar software‘ and published by ‘Raw Fury‘. Routine is said to be coming out in this quarter of the year 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S and PC. Another Xbox exclusive. X35 Earthwalker likes a good survival horror game, especially sci-fi. Good to see more of these. Routine is looking to show its strength front and center. Let’s take a look.

Routine. Lunar base. Moon and space. X35 Earthwalker

Routine is set on a lunar base. That’s right, we in space. It’s also got a “1980s vision of the future”. This lunar base use to be a tourist and research complex. Now it has gone silent. No chatter or nothing. This reminds us of Jurassic park. Now off course players take on the role of a character who heads out to this lunar base. Now off course curiosity is what brought you here but repairing is what you now must do. So get your tools and get to work.

Now off course Routine wouldn’t be a horror game if it was that simple. Yes the station is surprisingly empty but there is at least something here. Something occupying the place now. It’s an intelligence. Worse, it sees you as a threat. EXTERMINATE!! It’s with this set up that Routine is aiming to set itself apart in the gameplay and mechanics. Remember that routine is first person like Doom 3: Resurrection of evil. These types of horror games tend to be scarier than third person like The Callisto Protocol. 

In this space horror the most emphasis is placed on things like exploration and investigation. Players must go around and actually pay attention. More so to the environment than the enemies. There will be environmental puzzles for you to solve will having a sense of dread thanks to the threat that resides here. Who is probably watching you… maybe even right now as you are reading this. Such is the Routine. 

Routine. Robotic enemies and intelligence. X35 Earthwalker

That’s right. Routine is about dread, exploration and slowly learning what’s going on here and what happened. You are armed with a multi purpose device that allows you to mess with systems around the lunar base, of course interact with the environment and even face off against dangerous machines. Things will be happening slowly over time with off course moments of serious danger. After all this intelligence should be aware of what you are doing.

Routine. Explore the lunar base and investigate. X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some Routine gameplay and it’s what we expected. The lighting is top tier and makes the game scarier with the darkness. The details on the environment and around are excellent. They have to be for a game like this. The game is slower pace that others and the robotic foes are cold and behave accordingly. Routine is clearly not the horror game where you will be blasting and firing on many enemies. This more like Alien isolation in that regards. There’s lots of room for stealth too. So come with the correct expectations.

Overall Routine is looking excellent. Another excellent game coming to Xbox and day one in Xbox game pass as well, so make sure to check out and support this game. Routine will force players at times to decide between running, using your tools (limited tools) to survive or off course just hide. Routine is about the atmosphere. The developers ‘Lunar Software’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep and eye out for this game. Now Routine may have a whole lunar base but it’s all too small for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Ferocious. Dinosaur threats and more

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Ferocious has dinosaurs and other threats X35 Earthwalker

Ferocious is a first person shooter survival game developed by ‘OMYOG’ and published by ‘tinyBuild‘. Ferocious is said to be coming out in the last quarter of this year on the Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. X35 Earthwalker likes a good game with dinosaurs. Very few of those. Ferocious is looking to give players a whole experience and adventure. Let’s take a look.

Ferocious big world and map with sites X35 Earthwalker

Ferocious straight up drops players in the action. Ferocious takes place on an uncharted island. You don’t know where you are or where this place is. What you do know is that this place isn’t safe. There’s ancient ruins and you just know them mugs are filled with traps, danger and secret rooms. Then there’s the “apex predators”. Yes we also mean dinosaurs. There’s raptors and more out there which have no problem snacking down.

So what’s the mission? Survival! That’s right, the aim is to stay alive. As if the ancient ruins and dinosaurs weren’t enough. rumour has it that the very environment itself is a problem. The environment has been described as “it’s a relentless, ever-changing force that challenges and rewards those who dare to uncover its secrets”. You can even use the environment to your advantage. Remember that.

Ferocious got mechs. X35 Earthwalker

So Ferocious wants us to survive but we got the environment, dinosaurs, mercenaries and even mechs! All this is waiting for us. Good thing we can craft gear and weapons. So gather up resources. The game did say that “Every fight delivers a high-stakes, unforgettable experience.” This is hard for us to believe. That’s a big claim and it’s doable but we have yet to see anyone do it right or to that high declared level. We hope they can do it though.

Ferocious the environment is dangerous. X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some Ferocious gameplay and it’s what we expected. The graphics are great and the details are great too most of the time. The water is great visually but not as great when you interest with it. The combat isn’t impressive but gets the job done for sure. We just don’t see what they claimed earlier about every fight delivers high stakes, unforgettable experience. Maybe it gets there later in the game. Checking out this game reminded us firstly of Turok evolution. That game was action packed. Then we thought of Ark Survival. Ferocious needs to give us a reason to play it over the two games. That’s just how competitions work in gaming.

Overall Ferocious looks like a great game but it hasn’t done enough to get out attention for real. Its strongest point is clearly the combat and it needs to truly stay out. We need to see that “Every fight delivers a high-stakes, unforgettable experience.” gameplay. There’s off course still time. The developers ‘OMYOG’ have done a great job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear open for this game. Ferocious in off itself is a solid looking game. We always like open world adventures with lots happening. The map is big too. Room for adventure. Now Ferocious may have dinosaurs and giant crabs but they are too little of a threat for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Xbox Meta quest 3s is the best VR headset

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Xbox VR headset. Xbox meta quest 3s X35 Earthwalker

The Xbox Meta Quest 3s is easily the best VR headset in all of gaming. Xbox more than struck gold with this hardware device. X35 Earthwalker has spoken about it before but time for an update on it. Now of course the latest Xbox is the Xbox Rog Ally X and Xbox Rog Ally. Both are fantastic with the Ally X especially being declared better than the Switch 2 and overrated Steam deck. We wanted to talk again about the Xbox VR headset. The Xbox Meta Quest 3s is a limited edition Xbox. X35 Earthwalker told gamers to get it many times before and many ended up regretting not listening when it was all gone. This thing is truly amazing. Let’s take a look.

First of all lets get the specs for you all.

  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2
  • Display Resolution: 1832 × 1920 pixels per eye
  • Field of View (FoV): 97°
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Storage: 128 GB
  • Controllers: Includes Touch Plus controllers and a limited-edition Xbox Wireless Controller
  • Design: Carbon Black with Velocity Green accents (Xbox-themed)

 The Xbox Meta Quest 3s takes gaming to another level thanks to the fusion it has going on. This combination of Xbox and Meta quest Brough the best of both literally. Gamers can play numerous Xbox games, Xbox anywhere games and purchased games. On the meta side you have all those virtual reality games and there’s a lot of really good ones. Both parties benefit from this and it introduces console players to VR. 

Xbox cloud gaming is what allows Xbox game pass ultimate subscribers to stream hundreds of games. Now of course the Xbox Meta Quest 3s supports cross play and cross progression. Now this Xbox has almost complete freedom as you can take the Xbox Meta Quest 3s anywhere in the home and use it. We have used it in the living room, relatives home, the bedroom etc. just have some space and go for it. Unlike the inferior psvr2, the Xbox VR headset doesn’t require the main console. It works independent of a Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S.

Probably one of the best features of gaming on the Xbox Meta Quest 3s is how big the screen can be. “26-foot virtual screen” and it shows. It’s massive. Then you can either keep the screen flat or curve the screen too. Move it around with your hands and adjust. It’s the technology and the freedom. Playing Halo Infinite, Gears 5, Forza Horizon 5 and much more on such a massive screen is awesome. Better than anything pc has. Takeminto account the surround sound as well and it’s always a treat to play on the Xbox Meta Quest 3s.

Xbox VR headset. Theater elsewhere. X35 Earthwalker

Meta has off coursed provided loads of information about this hardware device on their website. It’s even confirmed that the Xbox Meta Quest 3s has 4.5x the resolution and colour fidelity of the Meta Quest 2. This especially shows itself well when you go into the ‘theatre elsewhere’. The theatre elsewhere is basically a world full of creations from animators and others allowing you to have many experiences. From standing a  desert where giant sand worms are jumping around you, to be underwater and seeing a whale to even watching an entire short movie of a futuristic data like race and being in the center of the action. It’s impressive and engaging. You should definitely try it. One of the best things about this device for sure.

Overall the Xbox Meta Quest 3s vr headset is the best in the world. X35 Earthwalker talked about this on the podcast channel. Lastly is the world inside the Xbox Meta Quest 3s. You can choose to have beautiful environments for your room or location. Like being on a space station, futuristic apartment, Japanese style home at night, dome mountain house and more. It’s a cosy and comforting feeling. Related atmosphere. Xbox Meta Quest 3s ids truly the best. Now that the Xbox handheld is here, Xbox completely dominates in basically;y all of gaming. The best hardware, the best games, best ecosystem, best cloud gaming and the best subscription service. Now Xbox may have the best VR headset but it’s still not as good as… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch. Hold on

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Grid battlefield combat. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch by X35 Earthwalker

Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is a turn based role playing game (RPG) developed by ‘Ocean drive studios‘ and published by ‘Kakao games‘. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is said to be coming out 9th of October 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PS5. X35 Earthwalker is the best at turn based games and knows what they need. This game has some things worth checking out. Let’s take a look.

Crazy powers. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch by X35 Earthwalker

Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch is keeping it simple. The story is you are a stranger, a traveller who was shipwrecked on an unknown island. An island that has a ton of problems. Described as “besieged by the dead”. Nice location. Worse is that your memories are lost and scattered. Typical. What’s even more worse is that there’s a witch… but this witch has no lion or wardrobe. She apparently is in a realm that between life and death. It’s not clear exactly what she wants but she makes you an offer. Serve her and fight for her. Bring death and destruction to her enemies. In return you get power. Envious power.

Hazard zones. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch by X35 Earthwalker

So what do you have to do in Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch? Fight, fight a lot and fight some more. This is how you will survive. So much danger and unfriendly tings out here. Turn based strategy game remember. It has the grid structure as well. So plan your moves, take your time, think ahead, maximise your options and dominate you foes. Now there’s going to be a variety of foes and we hope so as that’s needed of games like this get boring fast. Players can expect the fallen and even imperial cultists.

special attacks. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch by X35 Earthwalker

Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch also has a rougelite system. Death isn’t final or even that bad when you think about it (we didn’t join the death cult) because when you die you have the opportunity to become more powerful and have more options for your next adventure. There’s also such encounters that require choices and decisions. These can shake things up in the battles, even how they end and events to come.  

Diverse characters. Find and collect allies. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch by X35 Earthwalker

Definitely liking the diversity of characters here in Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch. On a design basis this looks really good. You love to see it, yes you do! YES, YOU, DO!! We know just hope they are likeable or interesting characters that we gamers want to use or interact with. Oh and don’t forget to enchant their items, gear, weapons etc. Ny the way, what are your thoughts on the witch? You trust her? 

Encounters. Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch by X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch gameplay and it’s what we expected for the most part. We do like the differences here that help make this stand out. Great combinations here. The rougelite style with the encounters really shakes things up. The graphics are good for this game type. The animations are great as well. Defined attacks for sure. We certainly like the art of the character on screen when doing a special attack. Very well designed and epic too. The story is all new. It’s not the same as Lost Eidolon games. It’s different so pay attention to it. We like the many options and tools to use. Permanent upgrades of course. There’s also weapon affinities and elemental interactions for players to take note and advantage off. There’s even environmental hazards as well. Push them in fire.

Overall Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch looks like an excellent game. It’s looking like it might be difficult for real and actually fun too. Good combination there. There’s interesting design characters and some attractive ones too. Bonus points. The enemies that we have seen so far are looking quite vicious or dangerous. Nothing scary off course but doesn’t have to be for this one. The developers ‘Ocean drive studios’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are going to keep an eye out for this game. We have a favourite character already. Now Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch may have a dodgy witch but she ain’t a problem for…  the ‘Earth Walk!’
