Gord. Slavic Survival

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Gord

Gord is a survival Real Time Strategy Game developed by ‘covenant.dev‘ and published by ‘Team17‘. Gord is said to be coming out the 8th of December 2023 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and pc. X35 Earthwalker likes the different cultures in games as it adds unique elements. Gord is trying to bring a unique experience for gamers. Let’s take a look.

Gord is supposed to be a unique adventure. You are responsible for a whole people. The Tribe of the Dawn’s people. You must build your gord. From simple hamlet/settlement to a real base/fortress. This off course won’t be easy as players will need to keep track of multiple things and manage said things. If you a gamer who ain’t got management skills, then expect to have a difficult time for complete failure.

X35 Earthwalker Gord

There’s main objectives which will guide you mostly but there are side quests that will keep you making decisions, putting you in danger and keeping you active. Gord will have you building structures and bringing up palisades. Gord will have you a lot of danger. There’s human threats like enemy tribes. There’s mythical threats like monsters and there’s also mysterious forces and powers happening in the surrounding area.

X35 Earthwalker Gord

You have to take care of the people. Every aspect. Your people can get sick and off course they will get hungry and thirsty. Even death is a factor. If a person loses their relative then they may suffer from it as in impacting their sanity. If things get critical there will be consequences like running away and off course the typical breakdown. So what happens outside and inside the camp matters.

What’s expected and included in this Gord Slavic style game are gods. If you please the gods, like with your prayers, you can get access to their spellcasting. These spells and incantations are designed to help you out in battle. Some are offensive types and others are defensive types. So expect incantations like even taking control of beasts. There’s the typical wrath or rage of the gods to demolish foes. So yeah, maybe bone on the gods good side.

X35 Earthwalker Gord

We checked out some Gord gameplay and it’s not exactly what we expected. It’s currently not impressing us right now. We like the depth of it and the many factors you have to into account while playing and the mechanics. Glad there are random encounters in Gord which can shake things up. Players may end up dealing with an infection in the area or maybe find and attempt to take down a legendary creature. The combat is very low scoring points. It gave us world of warcraft type combat vibes which we of course hate also. World of warcraft is so boring to us. We haven’t got much to say about it.

Overall Gord seems like an alright game. We have to see more of this game. We also need more concerning the combat banned appeal. We do like the rain effects on the characters and the lighting of like the torches in the night. The change of seasons is nice too. The difficulty of the game doesn’t seem hard enough. Like fake hard. Gord doesn’t seem like a difficult game. The developers ‘covenant.dev’ have done an alright job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will leave it up to the gamers to show what’s good with Gord. Now Gord may have a whole slavic adventure but it’s not adventurous enough for… the ‘Earth Walk’.

Under the Waves. Deep Stuff

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Under the Waves

Under the Waves is a narrative adventure game developed by ‘Parallel studios‘ and published by ‘Quantic Dream‘. Under the Waves is said to be coming out the 29th of august 2023 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. Under the Waves is clearly trying to do something deep here. X35 Earthwalker has tamed the deep and so will be the judge here. Let’s take a look.

In Under the Waves players control a dude called Stan. He’s a professional diver. He’s in deep… literally. In the ocean under the waves all by himself. The year is 1970 and it’s a futuristic advanced 1970 to have this kind of tech. Stan is having a struggle in his mind. He experienced a “life-changing loss”. He can’t seem to get over it and move forwards. He’s got a decision to make. What will he do?

X35 Earthwalker Under the Waves

Smart move by Under the Waves. Now Stan being in the north sea is actually a good representation of his situation. He is all alone and isolated from the rest of people. Yet Stan mentally isolated himself and made himself all alone. He is right where he wants to be. Can he stay there forever though? As he gets deeper in his mental isolation, things start to happen in the ocean. As in strange events… deep down. 

X35 Earthwalker Under the Waves

We checked out some Under the Waves gameplay and it’s mostly what we expected. Under the Waves stays having you dive down into the ocean. Mix of gameplay and cinematic to make the ocean more active. Use the submarine and see different things. Things like a sunken ship. Big cool creatures like even a whale. Under the Waves has Stan equipped with a special wetsuit. Expect underwater plants and even plants. They got a story here so pay attention. Heard it was deep. 

Overall Under the Waves seems like a good game. The graphics are very good. The lighting is very good. The visuals could have been better. The ocean with all the life in it needs to be presented and displayed in excellent levels. It needs to be big. Also looking so big compared to us. Lots of life and look the part. The ocean is arguably going to be the biggest thing for us concerning Under the Waves. Hopefully the story will be as narrative driving and deep as we hope… and as portrayed by the developers. The developers ‘Parallel studios’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see what it brings forth. Now Under the Waves may be in the ocean but it ain’t deep enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Blasphemous 2. This Game?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Blasphemous 2

Blasphemous 2 is an action metroidvania game developed by ‘The Game Kitchen‘ and published by ‘Team17‘. Blasphemous 2 is said to be coming out the 24th of August 2023 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. Blasphemous 2 is here to bring more weird stuff our way. X35 Earthwalker will have to see if this game got the goods or not. Let’s take a look.

Blasphemous 2 is described as the “second scripture in the blasphemous series.” The main dude is back, also known as the “penitent one”. The story continues from the DLC ‘wounds of eventide’. The weird stuff. Well their whole game is weird but do y’all remember the heart in the sky, all about the return of the miracle and the birth of a new so called miracle child. Yeah, so make sure you up to date concerning the story for the better experience.

X35 Earthwalker Blasphemous 2

So yeah, woken up again… but in a new and strange land. You aren’t near what’s suppose to be your final resting place. You have to pass the time somehow so might as well get up and explore this place. There are guaranteed long forgotten secrets. So make sure to discover them. There’s always something going on with how games like this end and then want to start up the sequel. 

We heard there’s a whole horde of ugly and weird enemies waiting for you. Hopefully there’s at least one good looking foe. Blasphemous 2 is suppose to have a more full and non-linear world. This also means there’s more to do. Take the npcs for example. There’s a bunch of new ones. Some will help, others will ask for help. Some will send you on “death defying” missions to get forgotten items.

X35 Earthwalker Blasphemous 2

You know Blasphemous 2 is going to have more weird bosses. They are described as twisted and that’s fair. Off course get ready for their attack patterns and learn the right timing and openings. They should be easier to beat thanks to upgrades to the combat. New weapons, executions, bigger combos and improvable skillset.

We checked out some Blasphemous 2 gameplay and it’s what we expected. Animations look slightly better. The world has stand out locations and the overall visuals are are better overall but it’s tough to tell from here. How far will Blasphemous 2 go concerning the designs, details and bosses. They did wuss out on some things last time. 

Overall, Blasphemous 2 seems like a good game. X35 Earthwalker was never interested in the Blasphemous series. The first game failed to impress or even interest him. Hopefully they do better this time. The developers ‘The Game Kitchen’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will wait to see if this game will impress us. Now Blasphemous 2 may have a hew land to explore but it’s too small and simple for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

The Expanse: A Telltale Series. Here we go

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker The Expanse: A Telltale Series

The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a narrative adventure game developed by ‘TellTale games‘ and ‘Deck Nine games‘. The Expanse: A Telltale Series episode 1 is said to be coming out the 27th of July 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker is very aware of the Telltale series games. Time for a new adventure. The Expanse: A Telltale Series might be up to something here. Let’s take a look.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series episode 1 is all the way up in space. So yeah, there’s no jumping ship this time. You basically follow a lady called Camina Drummer on a ship called the Artemis. Her choices of course will determine everything. You know the drill by now… it’s a Telltale game. There’s a mutiny… a bloody one. So yeah, not everything is as it seems, think about things clearly, get ready for quick time events and pay attention to clues.

X35 Earthwalker The Expanse: A Telltale Series

Now comparisons will always be made. Previous Telltale titles either had illusions, human threats or monsters. It’s looking like human threats again. The mutiny will probably be the most in your face threat but there’s also going to be space pirates… no, not Metroid space pirates. Actual raid, attack and probably board type pirates.

X35 Earthwalker The Expanse: A Telltale Series

We checked out some The Expanse: A Telltale Series gameplay and it’s what we expected for sure. Exploration is the key thing in the game. This time you are exploring in space, on the outskirts of an asteroid belt. You will even get the chance to scavenge wrecked ships… in zero g. Hint to players: Camina Drummer’s resolve matters here. Those who know the story already through certain media will haver an advantage here. We prefer jumping in blind and getting the new experience. 

Overall The Expanse: A Telltale Series looks like an alright game. We have sort of low expectations for this game. We know exactly what we want from this game as well. Visually it looks very good. The voice acting is very good too. There’s a lot of character interaction as well. Wonder if betrayal gets thrown into the mix. The developers ‘TellTale games‘ and ‘Deck Nine games‘ have done a veery good job so far. Looks like a lot of work went into it. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Now The Expanse: A Telltale Series may have dangers in space but those are simple stuff compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Cross Tails. Dogs vs Cats

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Cross Tails

Cross Tails is a Strategy Role Playing game developed by ‘Rideon’ and published by ‘Kemco‘. Cross Tails is said to be coming out the 20th of July 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker gives many games a chance… why not this one. Cross Tails is bringing in a whole war. Let’s take a look.

Cross Tails has a funny but easy to understand situation world. There’s two kingdoms. The kingdom of Ranverfurt in the north and the Republic of Hidiq in the south. so what’s the problem? kingdom of Ranverfurt are canine while the Republic of Hidiq are feline. Get it yet? North is dogs and south are cats. It’s Dogs vs Cats. This land has been heavily affected by the war. Things have been bad for a decade. The citizens of both nations clearly don’t like each other and have this basically imprinted in their mind sets to hate each other. Time to explore this world.

X35 Earthwalker Cross Tails

Cross Tails is off course a big story game. Characters, their relationships to other characters like family. History and of course talking and interacting to learn everything etc. The battle side of Cross Tails is where things get real tactical. We talking positioning your units, melee units, ranged units, stats etc. We do like the look of the battle field. The information seems to be displayed clearly. There also seems to be items or things to interact with on the battlefield itself. 

X35 Earthwalker Cross Tails

So yeah, exploration is the key. You need to look around, speak to people and get involved with what’s happening in the two nations and this world. If you make progress and truly get to the bottom of this, then maybe you’ll reveal a certain third party. A sinister third party who just might be influencing things. There’s two adventures in Cross Tails go play through. Experience both sides and perspectives of the situation. Felix Arens and Shaimaa Jerbi. Pick one and get to it.

X35 Earthwalker Cross Tails

We checked out some Cross Tails gameplay and it’s what we expected. We have seen games like this before but Cross Tails is made in the year 2023 so we expect the details to be a higher level. Cross Tails looks good and the combat is tactical with multiple variables. Seems deep enough for tactical players to get into. The themes in Cross Tails are serious and clearly want to bring the emotions in or situations that are relatable. Will they do it well?

Overall Cross Tails is looking like a very good game. Maybe even excellent but more needs to be seen and things need to be experienced. Games like this with a whole new world and history, with deep stories are needed. The fans are there. The tactical side with a whole skill tree on top adds a lot to the game. A lot. The developers ‘Rideon’ have done an excellent job so far. X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear open for this game. Cross Tails may have a feud between nations but it would have been solved immediately by… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Exoprimal. Dino Tech War

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Exoprimal

Exoprimal is an action shooter game developed and published by ‘Capcom‘. Exoprimal is said to be coming out the 14th of July 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. Exoprimal is trying to be the game that stands out. X35 Earthwalker likes to see games like this… but is it done right?

Exoprimal is set in the year 2040. the planet is in danger. Basically dinosaurs are showing up “from thin air” and they are doing all kinds of damage to the cities… across the world. so everyone basically looks to ‘Aibius Corporation’ for help. They are described as powerful and have AI technology. They got one called Leviathan which lets them know where the dinosaurs will roll up on the scene. They then send out fighters to take them down. Exofighters. 

X35 Earthwalker Exoprimal

Exoprimal gets players right into the action. As an exofighter you are armed with the Exosuits which are the so called “state-of-the-art” mechanise combat suits. So yeah, if you fail, then humanity is doomed. So go fight dinosaurs… or maybe not… try to take a selfie with them… or not.

Now Exoprimal does want to make things tactical so there are classes. Assault, Tank and Support. It’s obvious what these roles do. What’s not so obvious are the loadouts. Pick these to fit the situation or your style. There’s also rigs, which are additional equipment adding abilities. Here’s an example. The zephyr exosuit is excellent at close range but off course struggles with long distance threats. The cannon rig will give you a long range laser. Problem solved.

X35 Earthwalker Exoprimal

We checked out some Exoprimal gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s different dinosaur types, with some being big and require attention while there’s the raptors swarming like zombies. Players have good mobility, certain classes have more. The tank classes got big weapons and stand against the horde. Speed in attacks and strikes. Hovering, thrusting, sword strikes, transformation and more. It’s heavy action and looks like things can get intense. The difficulty is in question though. This is a team focused game but is it balanced for solo players?

Overall Exoprimal looks like a great game. We like the graphics. The animations are very good. The details are weak though. As in the armour design and details on it. The focus was clearly all on the combat. Cutscenes are good. Good dinosaur games are rare. The developers ‘Capcom’ have done a very good job so far. X35 Earthwalker will have to see in full what this game brings. Now Exoprimal may have dangerous dinosaurs but they are just baby lizards if they ever faced… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr Season 5

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000- Inquisitor - Martyr - Season 5

Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr is an action role playing game developed by ‘Neocore games‘ and published by ‘Bigben interactive‘. Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr isn’t new at all but what is new is Season 5. Season of judgement. This is what’s coming to consoles. Xbox Series X and PS5. So expect next gen season, said to come out on the 6th of July 2023. X35 Earthwalker doesn’t take orders from Inquisitors. Let’s take a look.

Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 brings about what you’d expect. Higher resolution textures, cross-gel multiplayer modes, native 4k support, enhanced shadows, and improved physics. Even the dual sense PS5 controller gets “fully utilised.” So it’s direct upgrade for sure.  

X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000- Inquisitor - Martyr - Season 5

So the people already playing Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor should automatically be happy. For those of you who are new listen up. The inquisitor is considered the imperium’s most powerful agent. Key word is agent. You have access to some crazy weapons. Your investigation will carry over multiple planets in the caligari sector.

We checked out some Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s destructible environments, vehicles and towers that you can use. For some reason there’s also a cover system. An action RPG like this definitely has a skill tree. A very big skill tree. There’s 3 character classes as well. So more layers to the flavour.

Overall Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 looks like a very good game. Fun too. There’s crafting and rightfully so, multiple weapons. Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 has also been described as a “persistent open world”. Last and best of all this game is multiplayer. 2 players locally and 4 player online. The developers Neocore games’ have done a very good job the season 5 of this game. X35 Earthwalker will now take this game somewhat seriously and look at it again. Now Warhammer 40000: Inquisitor – Martyr – Season of judgement Season 5 may have a whole upgrade but it’s still too basic for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Front Mission 1st: Remake. Alright

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker front mission 1st remake

Front Mission 1st: Remake is a strategy Role Playing game developed and published by ‘Forever Entertainment‘. Front Mission 1st: Remake is said to be coming out the 30th of June 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and pc. Already out on Nintendo Switch. Mechs, combat, strategy, movement? Alright. X35 Earthwalker Knows what mech games need. Let’s take a look.

The story in Front Mission 1st: Remake is normal-ish.  It’s the Year 2090. Battles are fought using mechs called Wanzers. Lame name. There’s two groups: Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) and Unified Continental States (U.C.S.). They don’t like each other and fight. Huffman island is the only place where they share a border. So yeah, conflict has started. Lieutenant Karen Meure goes missing and you, discharged from the military goes to find her. Of course nothing is simple or as they seem. Can you trust anyone?

X35 Earthwalker front mission 1st remake

You like mech games and strategy? You better. Front Mission 1st: Remake is focused on that to a medium level. So carefully place your units. Use the environment to your advantage and take them out. Customise your Wanzers and pilots. You can switch between the classic and modern mode. So old school players who knew this game can get a treat. Strategy games need to put in that extra layer for information. So make use of the free camera and the NEW tactical map.

X35 Earthwalker front mission 1st remake

When it comes to strategy games, we love to have details and information. We need numbers, designated paths or items, options, difficulty, control and so much more. When it comes to mechs though, there’s a whole lot of other needs. The mech animations, weapons, clear differences between designs. We aren’t easily satisfied. 

We checked out some Front Mission 1st: Remake gameplay and it’s not what we expected. Remember it’s a remake so we expect things to be next level but we aren’t getting that from what we can see, or feel. Its style is clearly different. Not our style though. Those who know the legacy of this game will be happy to see this.

Overall Front Mission 1st: Remake looks like an alright game. The graphics are very simple and the. Animations are basic too. We do like the mechs thrusting around for fast movement. The developers ‘Forever Entertainment’ have done an alright job with this. We at X35 Earthwalker hope this game does well. Now Front Mission 1st: Remake may have wanzers but they aren’t advanced enough to be used by… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Chess Gambit. So Chess Right?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Chess Gambit

Chess Gambit is a board strategy game developed by ‘D-Lo games’ and published by ‘e-llusiontertainment’. Chess Gambit is said to be coming out the 16th of June 2023 on the Xbox Series X and Xbox One. It was already out on Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4. X35 Earthwalker never heard of this game before coming to Xbox. If you like chess then there shouldn’t be problems here.

Chess Gambit. It’s Chess. Do you like chess? No? Then go to the X35 Earthwalker gaming livestream channel for the best gameplay. If you do like chess then read on some more. Chess Gambit has more structure to it you can say. You and your opponent have castles to conquer. 

X35 Earthwalker Chess Gambit

Now Chess Gambit is modern which means expect animations and special effects. The chess pieces be moving out here. Not fully but moving still. It’s kind of like these chess pieces have something against each other. Like it’s personal. 

X35 Earthwalker Chess Gambit

If you want the classic view then Chess Gambit has that as well. So you can get all modern or classic. Regardless it’s still chess. But wait! There’s more! The environment where you play the chess matches are effected by day or night. So select the time you feeling.

X35 Earthwalker Chess Gambit

We checked out some Chess Gambit gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s off course the infamous battles against the computer. There’s 9 difficulty levels. Each victory against them gets you a trophy. So yeah, try your best to beat the cheating computer.

Overall Chess Gambit looks like another chess game. Not the craziest one nor the biggest one. We actually wanted to see more but there’s practically no gameplay. We want more than just chess. All these developers still don’t know how to make the ultimate chess game. no one has done it yet. The developers ‘D-Lo games’ have done an alright job. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what happens next. Now Chess Gambit may have castles but they would have been conquered instantly by… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Crash Team Rumble. Not Bash

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Crash Team Racing

Crash Team Rumble is a team based multiplayer game developed by ‘Toys for Bob‘ and published by ‘Activision‘. Crash Team Rumble is said to be coming out the 20th of June 2023 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5 and PS4. X35 Earthwalker has reviewed numerous multiplayer games and enjoyed Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s about Time. Crash Team Rumble has a clear head start. Let’s take a look. 

Crash Team Rumble doesn’t really have a story from what we have seen so far. It’s just competition with friends and friends-ish characters. It’s 4v4 and the objective is simple. Get the most wumpa fruits. That’s it. It’s going to be a multiplayer bowl of fun. Not much details are revealed but we do know a good number of things.

X35 Earthwalker Crash Team Racing

Crash Team Rumble reminds us of Crash Bash. Now people diss Crash Bash but not us. X35 Earthwalker enjoyed Crash Bash. Sometimes it’s good to have party games. Not a huge story with a full adventure. Just games and options. Mario has Mario party. So why not? The questions are what are the games exactly, if there is multiple? How many areas? The character cast?

It currently looks like one game mode. Collect the most wumpa fruits in your drop off zone while fighting off the other team. There’s key points around the map which when secured can help your team bring home the victory or should we say ‘W’. Crash Bandicoot, Neo Cortex, Coco, Dingodile and Tawna are confirmed. Each character has their own unique skills, which is good as there are character roles. 

X35 Earthwalker Crash Team Racing

There’s scorer, blocker and booster. Scorer job is to collect the wumpa and bring it to your wumpa bank. Blocker job is to protect your wumpa and stop the other team from scoring. Booster job is to get those gems which increase the teams wumpa score and they can activate ‘relic stations’ to get the advantage of course. 

We checked out some Crash Team Rumble gameplay and it’s what we expected so far. Tiki towers, Calamity Canyon, Just beachy all look cool and are what you’d expect from a Crash Bandicoot world. Now of course there’s more options available based on their world. We are getting some Crash Bash feels. There’s multiple ways to ruin Crash Team Rumble. There’s also a simple way to make this game fantastic. Graphics are excellent and what we expected.

Overall Crash Team Rumble does look like a good game. We have some expectations for sure and hope to see it do well. We won’t say much as there’s more to see. The developers ‘Toys for Bob’ have done a good job so far but it’s not enough right now. We need to see more. Make this good. X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Now Crash Team Rumble may have wumpa fruits as the goal but it’s not fruity enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
