Hollow Knight: Silksong. Hornet silk

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Hollow Knight: Silksong. fourth chorus. X35 Earthwalker

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a metroidvania style action adventure game developed and published by ‘Team Cherry‘. Hollow Knight: Silksong came out the 4th of September 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S & Xbox Game Pass, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, PS5, PS4 and PC. X35 Earthwalker has dived into Hollow Knight: Silksong and has a lot to say already. This game is excellent and has more silk for us to encounter. Let’s talk about this.

Hollow Knight: Silksong right off the rip is so far an excellent game. So much has happened already and this game doesn’t show mercy. Yes Hollow Knight: Silksong is a hard game. Don’t listen to fake aura fools who say games like this isn’t hard. It’s a hard game. It’s obvious but players are controlling Hornet. A character those who played Hollow Knight would know. She is basically attempting a climb. Reach the peak and demand some answers. Already X35 Earthwalker likes Hornet as a character. She is polite, comes off as mature and easy to get along with. Calling people sir and speaking with respect. She’s also dangerous and powerful. Liking Hornet so far.

The enemies work together in terms of design to ruin your day. They are placed to be annoying and can drain your life real fast. There’s even bigger enemies who hit you for two points of damage. Now of course when you can increase your health it will be less of a problem. The average player will have a tough time. Now remember when we said that Hollow Knight: Silksong is a metroidvania type game. These games have their patterns. You start off with no powers and abilities. you lost them all somehow or can’t use them. She off course must find abilities to get stronger and reach places they couldn’t reach before.

Now the game has overalled been a good treat. We like metroidvania games and most are very good. The biggest issue so far with Hollow Knight: Silksong is the bosses. There was one boss in particular who was a bad boss and not fun to fight. Its issue was that it had too much health. The bosses before and after weren’t a problem. This shows that a few things lacked good design. Besides that boss things are very good and challenging. There’s one quite scary dark boss that’s like a bat even had a cool feature. If you meet and talk with a certain character that character can join you in the fight against the horrible monster. That was cool and reminded us of instances in Elden Ring. This was cool to see.

The whole crest system is a welcome thing. It changes up how you attack, your attack rate, downwards attack and what tools you can equip. We advise players to try them all out. You could get surprised. X35 ended up switching his crest and staying with it for a good while. Use those memory lockets to unlock slots for additional tools. This allows players to actually create a build of sorts and even switch up depending on the boss or threats you are facing. The down attack does matter as some are harder to control. So when you want to bounce off the red flowers. There’s even a challenge area based on that. There’s many crests. So experiment and give things a chance. Search the world and get what you can.

Hollow Knight: Silksong. Title screen. X35 Earthwalker

Overall Hollow Knight: Silksong is an excellent game without question… but yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong is definitely overrated. People acting like it’s the greatest game ever and better than everything before. Not close. Yes, it is excellent and a good time for sure. Right now the game is feeling like a solid 9/10 right now. Very few errors. Respect the game for sure but calm down. We are looking forward to more of what Hollow Knight: Silksong has to offer… whether silky or not. We know it’s going to be great. Unlike the first Hollow Knight game, the story is sounding actually interesting. Talking to the pilgrims, the singing characters and different locations and trials and faith is so cool. X35 Earthwalker will conquer this game too. Now Hollow Knight: Silksong may have singing bugs but they don’t sing as good as… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Metal Eden. How metal are we talking?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Metal Eden numerous IDC forces oppose you

Metal Eden is an Action first person shooter game developed by ‘Reikon games‘ and published by ‘Deep Silver‘. Metal Eden is said to be coming out the 2nd of September 2025 on Xbox Series X/S, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker truly enjoys a good sci-fi. Metal Eden is truly going futuristic with the action here. Let’s take a look.

Metal Eden is clearly set in a futuristic world where so much is happening. Metal Eden takes place in a city called Moebius. This city use to be a great place for humanity. A home but it has changed. Described as a trap. Who’s to blame… the robots off course! Well the Engineers run the city. You are Hyper unit Aska. An advanced battle android. There’s quite a bit going on in this cybernetic robot filled, sci-fi world as there’s more than just Moebius. As there’s also the Hive tower, Vulcan (world below) and even project Eden. After all, why are they focusing on the human’s cores? 

Sci-fi world and cool looking locations

As Hyper unit aska, your purpose is to protect. Your greatest strength is apparently recon missions. You have your own core, a phantom core. Definitely a mobile fighter as you can run along walls, grapple around and off course dash. Even use a jetpack and gravity hooks. All this is needed for sure. For the IDC (Internal Defence Corps) is in your way. Just blast through them or preferably out parkour and manoeuvre them. You even have the means to transform into the Armoured ramball which gives you the means to straight up take these foes on.

Metal Eden hyper unit aska has been deployed

So simply put, you’re a Hyper unit, specifically ask, handling business in moebius, fighting through the IDC, extracting human cores and looking for the engineers. Got that? Good. Right of the wall we definitely like the environment. The whole setting instantly shouts futuristic and tells you how futuristic we are talking about. The robot enemies of the IDC have some cool and interesting designs. Especially the bigger ones. Drones make sense and you just know their lasers are annoying. We hope that Metal Eden does show through the action that your mobility is the best approach here.

Metal Eden robotic foes in cybernetic warfare

We checked out some Metal Eden gameplay and it’s what we expected. We definitely like how good this game looks visually. The graphics are excellent and the effects on certain attacks and explosions are pleasant to look at. Work has clearly gone into this game. It looks very different too. Off the top of your head, I challenge you to name a game similar. The action is real. The mobility is effective but we hope the amount of freedom is high enough, especially with grappling and the jet pack. If we are a hyper unit then make it feel and look like it. Fun factor is a top priority. Weapons are looking epic with then effects, hit scan speed single fire weapon, lightning arc tracking and even status or elemental inflicting blaster. Good to see.

Overall Metal Eden looks like an epic game of good fun. Even the trailers show how much they are putting into it. We want to see these cool games do well. Now concerning the story we hope that there’s real substance here and they don’t take the typical sci-fi approach. We got robots and a home for humans that got ruined basically and core stealing but will the engineers actually be interesting or predictable? We will have to see. Weapon concern is real here. Big sci-fi future means creative room is big. They look cool but what about the quantity of weapons. There’s a lot to look out for and look forward too. The developers ‘Reikon games’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are keeping an eye out for this game. Metal Eden may have hyper units but they are all simple toys in the eyes of… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Bendy: Lone Wolf. This is different

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Boris: Lone Wolf X35 Earthwalker

Bendy: Lone Wolf is a action rougelike horror game developed and published by ‘Joey Drew Studios’. Bendy: Lone Wolf is said to be coming out the 15th of August 2025 on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. X35 Earthwalker likes to see something different being done with games. Bendy: Lone Wolf is trying to shake things up for sure. Let’s take a look.

Bendy: Lone Wolf is definitely different from Bendy and the ink machine usual style. It’s a different genre all together really. Players control Boris, everyone’s favourite. He has to get out there and go deep into the corridors of Joey Drew studios… and maybe beyond. What’s worse is that these corridors are randomly generated. So you know the replayability is there. Boris is searching for supplies and any horrible truths. Dark truths. Off course this won’t be easy.

Boris: Lone Wolf and monsters in a room. X35 Earthwalker

That is why Boris must also find weapons. There are monsters here. The “cartoon creeps” are here and want to take Boris out and take him away. So don’t just swing on them, time your attacks. A game like this just has to have traps. It does. These traps off course are bad for you but you can use them against your enemies too. So get tactical with it. So make sure to dine those weapons, as things will only get harder and you will need something better.

Boris: Lone Wolf has traps around. X35 Earthwalker

That’s not all. The ‘ink demon’ is here. Would not be the same with it. This ink demon is apparently stalking Boris. It’s almost everywhere. With the dark puddle foes you can fight back and smash them but with the ink demon… you must hide. Run if you can but most definitely hide. Just listen for the inky heart beat. Once you Hear it, well, you know what to do. Boris: Lone Wolf makes it clear of his presence.

Boris: Lone Wolf and the ink demon stalking. X35 Earthwalker

We checked out some Bendy: Lone Wolf gameplay and it’s what we expected.  Those who like wanted a break from the first person action will be happy. Watch and control Boris from different angles. Rotate the camera for better visibility. Plan and make sure you know where you are going. Smack those foes, and smack them good and ard (hard). Don’t forget about the iconic bacon soup. Drink up and keep Boris full. This is definitely looking cool. A whole different adventure. 

Overall Boris: Lone Wolf looks like a great game so far. We like first and foremost that it’s something completely different and it’s Boris. Who doesn’t like Boris? We just hope that the so called horror aspect of this is actually good. The game definitely doesn’t look scary. The ink demon hasn’t been scary since the first Bendy game. Hopefully;ly they can do better here. The graphics are very good for the Bendy style. The lighting is excellent and effective. Boris animations make sense for his character. The developers ‘Joey Drew Studios’ have done an excellent job so far by the looks of it. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye out concerning this game. Now Boris: Lone Wolf may be about survival but it cannot survive… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Maiden Cops. City clean up

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Maiden Cops street brawl

Maiden Cops is a 2D action beat em up game developed and published by ‘Pippin games’. Maiden Cops is said to be coming out the 30th of July 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4. It’s already out on PC but clearly nobody cared. Hopefully things change now that it’s coming to consoles. X35 Earthwalker does enjoy beat em up games from time to time. Hopefully Maiden Cops is the action that gives options and fun. Let’s take a look.

Maiden Cops is off course an arcade style game. The story? Well simply. The place is called maiden city. There’s a secret criminal organisation called ‘The Liberators’. They all about ruling the city with the usual fear, violence and a bit of chaos. So your job as one of the maiden cops is to tackle the crime. Tackle it legally… which means with your fists, feet and maybe tail?!

X35 Earthwalker Maiden Cops police station

The main stars of Maiden Cops are off course the maiden cops policewomen themselves. Pick from Meiga Holstaur, Priscilla Salamander and Nina Usagi. These three are very different in character and fighting abilities. Meiga is the most powerful member thanks to her huge strength but gentle and shy. Priscilla is the fired up cheery rookie who is about that action. Nina is the leader, most experienced and very efficient. Pick your favourite girl and put your fists up in pixel graphic style.

X35 Earthwalker Maiden Cops boss fight

Experienced players of games like this, especially if you played Streets of Rage 4, understand just how chaotic and brutal these games like Maiden Cops can become. Sure easy difficulty is well, easy; however it becomes the exact opposite with increased difficulty and overwhelming. Maiden Cops is said to have its own soundtrack so definitely got to check those out. We wonder just how crazy this game will get. Also curious of it’s limits.

Maiden Cops did get improved as there’s a 2 player mode. So yeah, grab that friend and get to work beating up criminals. There’s also unlockables, as in music, trophies, images and even outfits. ?So there’s something for players to work towards. We hear there’s also “well-crafted storyline” and it’s quite humorous too. Motorcycles too. 

X35 Earthwalker Maiden Cops special move

We checked out some Maiden Cops gameplay and it’s what we expected with a few surprises. The gameplay is normal for games like this. There’s weapons that have durability but there’s settings for weapons and more which allows players to customise their experience to some extent. The waifu characters are cool but we wonder what level the fan service will be at. We also wonder about the character stats and move set. Nina has the same move as skate from streets of rage 2 to jump on the shoulders of enemies and punch their heads. The character profiles are really cool and must be earned. Lots to do in this game.

Overall Maiden Cops looks like a fun and good game so far. 2 player mode is a must off course. So glad they have that. always like the idea of unlockables. There’s also cheats that can be enabled or disabled. Obviously Meiga is the best but the world creativity and character designs is good. We are seeing mostly W’s with this game. Just looks like beat em up fun. The developers ‘pippin games’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Now Maiden Cops may have strong fighting policewomen but they aren’t tough enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Space Marine 2 Siege Mode is Crazy

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Ultra Marine champion with guardsmen

Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 has a new PvE mode called Siege. Siege mode is crazy. It’s even more action on top of the action packed game that Space Marine 2 already is. X35 Earthwalker tried Siege mode out on the livestream. So much happened and the gameplay will be included in this G-Blog. We can confirm that Siege mode is great fun for sure and excellent for those who want all the smoke. They just want to fight, fight and fight. There is an issue though. Let’s take a look.

Siege mode is basically a horde mode. Waves of enemies will show up and you have to slay and smite them all. Players must survive all the waves. You receive awards for every 5 waves you survive and defeat. The waves of course consists of either Tyranids or Thousand sons. The two enemies in the games campaign. It’s for a set though. The first 5 waves is one enemy faction and the next 5 waves is the other. So remember that.

Siege mode has objectives and bonuses.

Siege mode has a bit more to it than just kill, kill, kill. There’s optional objectives you can complete between waves to earn more supplies. Best not to ignore these. There’s also challenges. Two types: common and class challenges. Completing these will also reward you with supplies. Now you are probably asking “what do the supplies do?” Well simply it allows you to purchase useful stuff. Players can go to the Requisition Terminal to make such purchases. This is incredibly important. You need to use the Requisition Terminal.

X35 Earthwalker requisition terminal options

It’s at the terminal where you can buy consumables, astartes reinforcements, astra militarum and Dreadnought support. These matter more than you think. Sadly X35 Earthwalker got team mates who didn’t pay attention to this well at all. That Viper player was good though. Consumables are obvious stuff like grenades, health stems, self revive and most importantly ammo. Astartes reinforcements is the worse as it’s basically temporary buffs like increased range damage or close range… for 5 minutes only. Astra militarum is awesome as it calls in the guardsmen to back you up against the horde. Dreadnought support is the craziest as it brings in the dreadnought, which just destroys and brings carnage. 

This leads to the main problem. This Siege experience isn’t equal for the different classes. If you are a heavy class then things will suck for you. You will always run out of ammo. The heavy class without ammo is trash and the most useless. You easily run out and it’s not fun anymore running around trying to find ammo while you team is fighting for their lives. You end up spending all your supplies on getting more ammo instead of other things. Obviously Bulwark is the best as you don;’t need ammo and the banner ultimate can be a game changer. So clearly Siege mode isn’t balanced. Also you get very little supplies overall and that makes things less fun. It’s not always about difficulty, it’s better to make things fun and not a grind or chore. 

Overall Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 has an excellent new mode. siege mode is fun and great for playing with friends. Just too much of a chore and grind to get good stuff. X35 Earthwalker’s first attempt at Siege mode ent well. One annoying teammate who he ended up blocking but worst of all, never got the dreadnought. No one was contributing towards it except X35 and it’s most likely because everyone needed the supplies for other matters to survive. Not good, not fun. It’s obviously new so expect there to be some issues but tweaks and patches can easily fix things. Always remember developers, to make things fun. X35 Earthwalker will jump back in. Now Siege mode may have the hordes but they are all complete jokes compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Somber Echoes. Bad twin sis

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Floating face boss with lasers in somber Echoes

Somber Echoes is a new Action adventure platformer game developed by ‘Rock Pocket games‘ and published by ‘Bonus stage publishing’. Somber Echoes us said to be coming out the 8th of July 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 but already out on PC. X35 Earthwalker sees the action in this game but what about the story. Somber Echoes needs to make itself stand out from others for real. Let’s take a look.

Somber Echoes has been described as being “rooted in ancient greek mythologies.” The whole mission is to stop your twin sister from basically destroying the universe. Now no challenge like this is straightforward. Expect battles, foes and obstacles. So much so that Somber Echoes has also been described as a metroidvania. So seasoned players know what to expect here.

Now this “greco-roman” place use to be beautiful but now ruined and destruction is on the way. Off course a place like this has stories and as you play Somber Echoes, expect mysteries and things to discover and uncover. Maybe things aren’t as straight forward as they seem. What if? Your sister wasn’t trying to destroy the universe. Maybe. Just throwing it out there. Regardless there’s things to think about and get done.

Somber Echoes light projectile into enemy X35 Earthwalker

A so called cataclysmic event caused this place to become the horror field that it is. These threats aren’t from your dimension. Now obviously when dealing with different dimensions, you normally have to contend with forces from said dimensions. Well in Somber Echoes, that’s happening as well. A “mysterious force” chooses to show up and do its own thing. Even awakening Adrestia. Oh boy. 

Large floating boss with a big eye.

We checked out some Somber Echoes gameplay and it’s almost what we expected. The combat has more freedom and emphasis on aerial and being straight mobile action. Your character is agile, mobile and quite acrobatic. This off course is different from other games of this genre. We like how the game looks. Gameplay is very smooth, animations are excellent, The graphics and graphic style of the game is very good too. The enemies though are the weakest aspect of Somber Echoes right now. We aren’t feeling them, nor do they intimidate. The bosses we can’t take seriously right now.

Overall Somber Echoes looks like a very good game. There’s multiple biomes and even multiple endings as well. Sio replayability just might be there. Stories like this are straight forward for X35 Earthwalker but players will get quite a bit for them to solve and figure out. We just hope that better enemies show up later in the game. The developers ‘Rock Pocket games’ have done a very good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will just have to hear what Somber Echoes brings to the screens. Now Somber Echoes may have a dangerous twin sister but she too weak for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic. What?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic

Five Night’s at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic is a horror game developed by ‘Steel Wool Games‘ and published by ‘Scottgames’. Five Night’s at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic is said to be coming out 13th of June 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PC. Are you ready for Freddy?! X35 Earthwalker knows all about Freddy… well sort off. This game looking like it’s bringing the next real chapter. Let’s take a look.

Now that you’re here, let me ask you again. ARE YOU READY FOR FREDDY?!… We apologise. Now the deal with Five Night’s at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic is another simple one but you should know Five nights at Freddy’s games by now with how there’s more to them. You play another fool who’s takes a job related to the Freddy business. You enter the abandoned workshop of Murray’s Costume Manor. That’s totally safe. Your mission? To retrieve Fazbear’s prized prototype technology. Certainly not vague.

X35 Earthwalker Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic

Remember that by taking this job you agree with the disclaimer that says [Disclaimer: Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for whatever you awaken in the dark.] Yeah, you’re not so smart yourself huh. Edwin Murray is the main dude here. He’s the inventor concerning the workshop. He left behind some mysteries for you to solve. The biggest one off course is… ARE YOU READY FOR FREDDY?!! If you can’t answer that then you’re not ready for Five Night’s at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic. 

X35 Earthwalker Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic

Now Five Night’s at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic has quite the dramatic description and claim for players. Listen to this… or more like read this, “you’ll step into a world where every dark corner holds a secret and every flicker of light hints at an ever-present threat”. Also, “Prepare for heart-pounding thrills as you explore the labyrinth of the deserted Costume Manor”. Now when games make claims like that they never do live up to that for X35 Earthwalker. There will be jumps scares obviously, dark spots and moments where you will have to hide for your life. Hide? Yes you will need to hide. We didn’t explain yet. 

X35 Earthwalker Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic

Basically you aren’t alone in this abandoned workshop. There’s a prototype endoskeleton called the Mimic. This is the main problem right here. This thing has the ability to basically take on the form/copy all the other costumes. This means it can take on multiple forms. Those come for you in different ways. Whether by brute force or more cunning matters. You aren’t completely useless as you have some gadgets to help you out. Fair fight. 

X35 Earthwalker Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic

We checked out some Five Night’s at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic gameplay and it’s what we expected. Especially when you think about Five night’s at Freddy’s: Security Breach. so those players should feel comfortable in a number of ways. First person off course. We will say that the elephant doesn’t look scary at all. More silly than anything else but we are sure its punches hurt. Also a certain familiar face-ish is back. You didn’t leave it behind. This for real looks like the next adventure for sure.

Overall Five Night’s at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic looks like a great game. The lighting, especially with those dark areas are done very well. For games like this, they have to be. The mushroom dude just out for a stroll, so it doesn’t scare us either. Graphics are off course very good. We like the core design on the animatronics and machines. We like the level of detail too. Watch out for the eyes though. The developers ‘Steel Wool games’ have done a very good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Now Five Night’s at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic may have the mimic but it’s abilities aren’t good enough to fool… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Warhammer 40000: Dark Tide. Arbites

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Arbites new class X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40000: Darktide

Warhammer 40000: Dark Tide is getting another update. Mores specifically a whole new class. The Arbites. Yeah, that’s right. No, we are not lying. So shut up and read this. Warhammer 40000: Dark Tide will be getting this new update the 23rd of June 2025. Not far from now at all. Long time Dark Tide players are definitely excited for this. X35 Earthwalker is looking forward to this. Let’s take a look.

Now by looking at the trailer below, you can see that the Arbite class is all about the dog… or as the kids these days so, doggo. This class never fights alone. Like a military dog that can take down enemy foes. Players of this class works with a dog to smite heretics. For the longest time Warhammer 40000: Dark Tide has always been about the four classes: Psyker, Ogryn, Veteran and Zealot. Each one doing their thing and slaying for or not for the emperor. 

X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40000: Darktide

Now for some lore for those who care. Arbites aren’t some random bums. They are the adeptus Arbites. They are all about the lex imperialis. They literally hunt down and attack the heretics and off course traitors. So yeah you do that with a “cyber-Mastiff”. X35 Earthwalker isn’t afraid of dogs but likes dogs.

It’s not just a new class though. Players can expect all new weaponry to take down and destroy the evil heretics and traitors. Now since it’s a new class, you just know that practically everyone is going to pick the new class. Expect full lobbies of Arbites. So hopefully the developers know thins will give the other classes something new to grind for or whatever so that there will still be a reason to use those classes. Would suck to have a whole team or just Arbites.

Overall we are definitely looking forward to what this new class Arbites in Warhammer 40000: Dark Tide. X35 Earthwalker has the strongest psyker in the world. Alpha plus psyker. So this new class will be real cool to try out. Now Warhammer 40000: Dark Tide may have a new class but it’s good enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Game of the Year Contender

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 forgotten battlefield X35 Earthwalker gaming picture

 

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is completely awesome. We are many hours into this game and it’s been a supreme treat so far. If you have Xbox Game Pass, then you HAVE to play this game. If you Don’t try it, then yes you’re not that smart. Even people who aren’t a fan of this type of game as in turn based gameplay have liked it. It’s that good. We getting ahead of ourselves but there’s no such thing. X35 Earthwalker‘s pace is the right pace. Let’s take a look.

Let’s get this out of the way Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is easily better than every turn based final fantasy game. Nostalgia drugged fans will argue otherwise but no, they are being dumb. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is better… easily! Visually this game is very very good. not the highest tier but a category below. The animations are top tier. The story is seriously engaging and intriguing. X35 Earthwalker himself is literally avoiding everything Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to make sure to not encounter a spoiler of some sort. 

The battles are clean and done very well. The boss battles are what’s not clean but dirty. These monsters are here to kill you. Ever wondered what it feels like to get smacked or crushed by a solid igneous rock club by a giant rock creature? Yeah, get the full experience and more in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Faced sword wielding bosses who tower over you. Encounter even a group of orphan monsters who were repairing a hot air balloon by the looks of it. Things get crazy.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 forgotten battlefield X35 Earthwalker gaming picture

The story is the biggest event here in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The paintress every year paints the next number down, like a countdown, and everyone older than that number disappears. Like a thanos snap. She has to be stopped. Many other expeditions have all sailed out to try and take the paintress down. They have all failed. The paintress liveth. You are a part of expedition 33 (roll the credits) it’s your turn to try and stop the paintress. Now off course things aren’t as simple or straightforward as it seems. There’s more to the situation and it’s obvious. 

There are many weapons with their own effects. These can really shake things up. It also allows for many different builds and synergies. There’s then a ton load of pictos that bring different effects and abilities to your characters but primarily stat boosts. For example you can have one that allows you to gain a bonus AP on successful parry but you take double damage. There’s another that allows your character’s base attack to strike twice. There’s another that deals big damage to all enemies when your character falls in battle. There’s soooooo many of these pictos. Then there’s the luminous which are abilities from pictos that you master for fighting 4 battles with them equipped. As long as you have enough pictos, you can stack on numerous abilities. It’s better to see for yourself.

It’s better to not say so much as it’s something gamers have to experience for themselves. Even details about the characters are low key spoilers. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available on Xbox, Playstation and PC. Best experienced on Xbox. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has already sold over 1 million copies and the biggest group of players are Xbox players. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was developed by ‘Sandfall Interactive‘ and published by ‘Kepler interactive‘. 

Overall Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a fantastic game. There’s a few weaknesses like facial recognition isn’t that greta in some cases like with Sciel but it’s not a big deal. These things are too small. Having a blast and diving into this game for real. The developers ‘Sandfall interactive’ have done fantastic job so far. X35 Earthwalker told everyone this game was special long before it came out and as always he is right. Now Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 may be a game of the year contender but it’s still not as good as… the ‘Earth Walk!’

South of Midnight. Game of the Year Contender

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker South of Midnight Xbox

South of Midnight is an awesome game. We are saying that right off the truck. South of Midnight is an action adventure game developed by ‘Compulsion games‘ and published by ‘Xbox Game Studios‘. South of Midnight 100% is worth playing. X35 Earthwalker not only beat the whole game, he has 100% it… not only that, X35 has got all the achievements too. There’s so much to say about this game.

South of Midnight gives players a unique and powerful gaming experience. Off the top of our head, we can’t think of another game like South of Midnight. It joins another legendary game in that category. That other super amazing game is Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Both these games have unique single player stories that are emotional, strong stuff, and in some cases quite powerful. We definitely believe South of Midnight is worthy of being in that rank. Gamers, do not skip South of Midnight. This is worth playing. You might learn something too.

Hazel Flood is the star and main character of South of Midnight. She is now one of our favourite female gaming characters. She is young, lots to learn but has clear dreams and hobbies. She is very relatable and you can understand her relationships with other characters and her behaviour towards them. She makes mistakes, quite a bit but learns and get things done. She becomes strong but she’s no super hero or overpowered being. Someone with a clear purpose and meaningful job. She’s a weaver after Mahalia. We love Hazel Flood. Oh and don’t forget about Crouton. Little guy is very useful and loyal.

South of Midnight has awesome boss fights. Two toed tom, Rougarou and Huggin Molly. These boss fights are unique from each other and how you fight them is very different too. These bosses are also foreshadowed too. Cool detail. There’s an achievement for beating these three without taking any damage at all. Tough but doable. What makes them stand out more is the music. south of Midnight has amazing music. Crazy good. The artists did amazing jobs. X35 Earthwalker has access to the full music, James, songs etc of the game. Listening to them is good times. If you can, check them out.

There’s so much more to say about South of Midnight but X35 does it best in straight talking. There’s a podcast episode where X35 Earthwalker reviews the game. Later turned it into a YouTube video. So make sure to listen or watch to get even more information. He talks about the story, the characters, the combat which flows wonderfully and is quite deep for the mechanics that’s present, lore in the game and more was discussed. This game is deep and a easy conversation starter about deep topics from the suffering and brutal history of the south to what beautiful did come later. 

Overall South of Midnight is an amazing game. From the combat, sounds, accurate portrayal of the south, the lore, the combat and the graphics and stop motion animations, is just a clear passion filled project that was done right. Many many gamers played and truly enjoyed the game. some even hailing it game of the year already. It’s a clear contender for us. X35 wishes to see this game get the respect it deserves. X35 Earthwalker easily gives it a 10/10. Another Xbox banger. Fantastic job Compulsion games. Now South of Midnight may be a 10/10 game but it’s still not as good as… the Earth Walk!’
