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.

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!’

Shadow Labyrinth. Wait… is that?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Combat in Shadow Labyrinth

Shadow Labyrinth is a 2D action platformer game developed and published by ‘Bandai namco‘. Shadow Labyrinth is said to be coming out the 18th of July 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2 & 1, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker likes seeing recognisable things in games. Shadow Labyrinth is bringing a whole new take on a familiar face. Let’s take a look.

In Shadow Labyrinth, players control a dude referred to as Swordsman No.8. You have been awoken by this strange yellow orb that floats. Yeah that’s right. Shadow Labyrinth already playing with gamers right from the start. It’s Pac-man… sorry but Shadow Labyrinth says it’s called PUCK. We know pac-man when we see him but whatever. This game already bringing some pleasant laughs.

Pac-man or Puck in Shadow Labyrinth

Shadow Labyrinth takes place on an unknown planet. The only clues are that you are awoken amongst “relics of wars past”. This Pac- we mean Puck has ‘chosen’ you to be the instrument of its will. That’s right. You are it’s bitc- we mean tool- no no we mean friend on this journey. Now games like this veteran and seasoned gamers know what to expect here. 2D action platformer. You’re going to travel to the right or left, face dangerous foes, upgrade and improve yourself. Back track to areas you couldn’t access or interact with before. Take down dangerous bosses and look cool doing it. 

What’s unique about Puck is that when you defeat mighty foes, especially, it literally consumes them. Give it time and lots of lunch and you’ll go from a simple prey or floating yellow ball to a full fledge monster/apex predator. That’s scary when you think about it. Imagine you in a fight, but if you lose said fight then you WILL be eaten by the victor. Knife and fork with 2 napkins.

traversal and exploration in Shadow Labyrinth

Now obviously there’s lore for players to get into and learn about this place, Puck off course and yourself sort off. Clearly a major league, intergalactic war took place here. Long before you even arrived. Not only that. You have monsters and dangerous foes to meet and deal with.

There’s many abilities to use and combine in combos for some serious combat and fire power. Do not be naive though. Find out what Puck wants and why it choose you. Keep that in your mind. 

bosses and dangerous enemies in Shadow Labyrinth

We checked out some Shadow Labyrinth gameplay and it’s what we expected. Like we said earlier we know games like this. The graphic style is handled well here and they make it work most of the time. Not a fan of some of these animations including the run one. We like the whole you evolve and become bigger and powerful with Puck. That’s the star mechanic here for sure. The action here is real though.

Overall Shadow Labyrinth looks like a good game so far. We definitely believe more can be done with this game. We know this game will get more crazy in the story, the transformations, the monstrosities and the action. The developers ‘Bandai namco’ have done a good job with this game so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to see what happens with Shadow Labyrinth. Now Shadow Labyrinth may have pac-man but even he isn’t as iconic as… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree. Which tree?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Mandragora: Whispers of the witch tree

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a action tole playing game developed by ‘Primal game studio‘ and published by ‘Knights peak‘. Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is said to be coming out the 17th of April 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and PC. X35 Earthwalker can get behind some dark action. Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is out here to show what a tree can do. Let’s take a look. 

X35 Earthwalker Mandragora: Whispers of the witch tree

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is set in the world of Faelduum. This is full on fantasy and wild. So expect the full package. Folklore, fairy tales and off course some myths. Strangely though magic is outlawed here. So no magic but it’s definitely here. So use it. The leaders are hypocrites though as the city states are run by archmages. They are powerful but also described as tyrannical. Now magic wielding tyrants can’t be complete without… inquisitors. That’s right inquisitors are here to dish out justice. By the way… you are one of them… an inquisitor.

X35 Earthwalker Mandragora: Whispers of the witch tree

So basically in Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree you make the decision to abandon the group. Instead you will defy them. If you like metroidvania like games then Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree should interest you. There’s going to be lots of exploring, moving through areas, finding new things and getting upgrades or items that allows you to reach places you couldn’t before. As an action role playing game players can expect things to get out of hand quite quick. Expect higher difficulty, timed dodges and finding opportunities for attacks. Players will face foes, horrible monsters, dark entities and off course dangerous and powerful bosses.

X35 Earthwalker Mandragora: Whispers of the witch tree

We checked out some Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree gameplay and it’s what we expected. We do like that there’s multiple important characters in the game. Their faces pop up on screen so you can see the details placed. Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree also has the whole, your decisions determine thing and have consequences. Hopefully they do that mechanic right. Impactful moral choices hopefully incoming. This isn’t a diablolike game but the skill tree might remind you of it as it’s big. The style of course is different. So decided how you want to get stronger and what to prioritise. So dodge roll through enemies, combo foes, Time your strikes and more. Oh and don’t ignore the entropy. Yeah monsters and creatures are leaking into Faelduum. Reality tears and all that. Parallel place of entropy. Learn for yourself.

Overall Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree looks like an excellent game so far. We like the graphics and details of the structures. We like the graphic style and how it works with this type of game. Quite a lot of information and details concerning your character and builds. Not a fan of the animations though. They are excellent, just not our preference. Definitely liking the special effects ion lightning and electric type magic. The developers ‘Primal game studios’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep and eye out for this game. Now Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree may outlawed magic and monsters but both are far too small compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

South of Midnight is Awesome and Unique

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker South of Midnight Xbox

South of Midnight is Awesome. We are going to say this right of the bat. South of Midnight is an Xbox exclusive game developed by Compulsion games. South of Midnight is unique and gives gamers a whole new experience. X35 Earthwalker played it on the early launch day, the 3rd of April 2025 and has numerous things to say about it. It officially launches on the 8th of April 2025. Let’s take a look.

South of Midnight takes place in the south… maybe the dirty south. In a town called Prospero. Magnus the red (who did nothing wrong) likes this place. Players control a girl called Hazel. Thanks to a crazy hurricane, ends up on a mission to try and save her mama. Soon learns that she  is quite special. She can see strands, stigma, haunts and aspects of the grand tapestry. Armed with unusual tools for this adventure. This game mature for sure. Handling some dark themes and truly sad stuff. Gamers must brace themselves for a unique and innovative experience.

X35 Earthwalker South of Midnight Xbox

So this whole south thing is dived into more than usual. Expect a bunch of south folklore and mythos. This is all part of South of Midnight. so yeah, a giant croc with hatred and bitterness in its heart is a thing. Really big croc. Creatures of the night and some actually scary stuff for the average person. No spoilers here, as we don’t roll that way. We will say that South of Midnight starts off strong. There’s many aspects of the game that awe are truly enjoying and they are doing amazingly well.  for starters the music is top tier and definitely hits that south style. Expects strings, yes the banjo too, a solid beat and chilling tunes. The singers do a good job and paint an image of what they would look like in your head.

The animations of that on purpose lower frames while keeping everything else 60 frames is delicious. The game just looks great too for its graphic style. The graphics are very good. The combat though… is excellent. It’s all smooth and no frame drops either. Run up and swing on them haunts. Dodge or if you got skill do a perfectly timed dodge which also damages the enemies. There’s also abilities to use like wrapping an enemy up so they can’t move or attack and also receive more damage. You can full on scorpion “GET OVER HERE” and pull smaller foes in or pull yourself to them with follow up strikes. Force push foes (no Darth Vader) with weaver pushes to disrupt and interrupt foes. Come down from above with a AOE (Area of effect) attack upon landing. Unravel haints, basically execution finisher, to get back some health, reduce cool down of abilities and when combined with an ability, cause an explosive omnidirectional damage in a short radius. The combat is great. Haters are being stupid as expected. 

X35 Earthwalker South of Midnight Xbox

The enemies, the haunts come in variety with different types. There’s the let me run at you and slap you. There’s a hive that releases insects to explode at you. A floaty one that launches projectiles as a lob or fast straight. There’s more than that, go see for yourself. The people who complained about the combat most likely playing on easier difficulties and not engaging with all the mechanics in the combat. You can really flow around the battlefield with the beautifully animated dodge, zip to enemies or bring to you, stall enemies with your little friend, wrap up another and have your way with foes.

X35 Earthwalker off course has a podcast episode on Spotify talking about South of Midnight. So listen to that for more details and the unique style that X35 has. There’s also a gameplay video of 1 hour of South of Midnight gameplay. So check that out to see exactly what you would be getting. 

Overall South of Midnight is awesome. It’s a game we can recommend to a wide variety of gamers. South of midnight is also on Xbox Game Pass, the best deal in all of gaming. So game pass subscribers you can play it when released. Go try it. We strongly recommend this game. We looking forward to more of what the game has to offer. The game will only get more crazy from here out. X35 Earthwalker can say right now that we haven’t seen the last of Hazel. Now South of Midnight may have folklore from the south but none of it is scary enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

War Robots: Frontiers. Online Mech Battles

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker War Robots: Frontiers

War Robots: Frontiers is a online multiplayer mech shooter game developed and published by ‘My.Games‘. War Robots: Frontiers is said to be coming out the 4th of March 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. X35 Earthwalker loves a good mech battle. Looks like War Robots: Frontiers wants to show why their mech game is the best. Let’s take a look.

X35 Earthwalker War Robots: Frontiers

War Robots: Frontiers takes place in the “Wild Ten”. The Wild Ten is a “newly discovered planetary system lightyears from Earth”. This is where all the action takes place. No deep or crazy story or whatever. This is just multiplayer mech battles. So shut up and shoot already. Wait! Before you shut up and shoot, how about you finish reading this first.

Never forget your ultimate weapon. survive long enough and battle hard enough to build enough power for the big boom or game changer that you or your team needs. You can obviously see the progression of its build up. Will you be the player who saves it and wait for the right moment or will you use it as frequently as possible?

Online multiplayer like this off course needs multiple game modes. Team Deathmatch which is obvious… just fight and destroy your foes. Last Robot Standing is self explaining. Be the last one alive. Warp rush is all about control points. Straight objective.

X35 Earthwalker War Robots: Frontiers

We checked out some War Robots: Frontiers gameplay and it’s what we expected. Mechs aren’t all the same. Fire electricity, Fire missiles, heavy guns and rounds, strikes coming in from above. Mechs for pure speed. Mechs with high mobility. Mechs for all out battle. Or tanky-er mechs to eat all those shots… sort off. It’s obvious things can get crazy here.

Overall War Robots: Frontiers is looking excellent. Big mech battles are pretty much always cool and fun. It’s hard to mess those up. Definitely liking the customisation as some mech games suck at that or too restrictive. There’s obviously going to be a meta build for team compilations so hopefully the devs are good at balancing games to make sure there’s nothing overpowered or invincible. The action looks good and the effects of the weapons and explosions looking great too. The developers ‘My.Games’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker look will keep an ear open concerning this mech battle game. Now War Robots: Frontiers may have big mech battles but they are such little things when compared too… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall. Monster Tactics

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall

Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall is a tactical turn based game developed and published by ‘Wild River games’. Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall is said to be coming out the 5th of March 2025 on Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PC. X35 Earthwalker believes family friendly fun games are needed. Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall needs to impress or hook right here. Let’s take a look.

X35 Earthwalker Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall

The story in Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall is very simple. This creature filled world is in danger. Some unknown and quite shadowy threat is behind it all. so off course it’s up to the player to lead a group of combat ready creatures monsters to take own this danger and save the world.

Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall straight up just looks like a fun and colourful creatures battles. turn based off course and judging by the grids and options, a tactical one too. We hear that there’s over 100 levels. so there’s quite a lot for players to do and lots of opportunities to try out and adjust tactics.

X35 Earthwalker Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall

Over 100 levels but 4 different locations. Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall has open locations for players to actually explore. There’s off course a jungle… an overgrown one (Groundskeepers aren’t doing their jobs). A lava world with all the heat you can or cannot handle. A stone world that’s been described as “indestructible”… we will see about that. Last is the Ice world which to no ones surprise is cold. Bring a jumper. 

X35 Earthwalker Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall

We checked out some Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall gameplay and it’s what we expected. Build your team of 20 creatures. Each creature off course has their own skills. They can off course get stronger and more effective as they battle. attacks to attack a row, clear a lane, attack while moving etc. There’s definitely room for tactics here. A cool rock golem creature stands out. Just looks like some fun stuff.

Overall Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall just looks like a good game. Simple honest fun with a straight forward story. Nothing crazy. Most importantly is that it’s family friendly from what we can see. Graphics are good and the details are alright. The animations are good too. The developers ‘Wild River games’ have done a good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will just have to hear what happens with this game. Now Eldrador Creatures Shadowfall may have numerous battle ready creatures but none of them stand a chance against… the ‘Earth Walk!’

FragPunk. Innovative Hero Shooter

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker FragpPunk

FragPunk is a 5v5 Hero Shooter game developed and published by ‘Bad Guitar Studio’. FragPunk is said to be coming out the 6th March 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker definitely has his eyes on this game. FragPunk is out here trying to stand out in this genre. Let’s take a look.

FragPunk right of the rip makes it clear what make it stand out from all the rest out there. FragPunk pretty much guarantees that no two matches will be the same thanks to the card system that they have. These shard cards are literally game changers. There’s over 100 from what we hear. These cards can change the jump height of players, introduce chain lightning for that spread damage, bring fire into play, or even reverse the roles of attackers and defenders. That is crazy. You want crazier? Then how about the ability to resurrect your entire team.

X35 Earthwalker FragpPunk

All the focus needs to be on the cards. Well majority of the focus. Look at the cards above for some more examples. Blade Master makes it so that players have to avoid you. You can deflect bullets and melee attacks. Avoid that player. Knowing that a player has the blaze, changes how you play that round. Chain reaction will force the enemy team to spread out. They can’t wolf pack as the chain lightning will punish the whole squad. Dragon’s breath buffs the fire damage for shotgun weapons. So just getting tagged once is more than enough to make you ‘one shot’ and therefore vulnerable. Death’s Embrace is the worst though. If you health goes below 50% then you are done for. The reaper… of the cards (Let me know if you know the reference), will come and reap some cheeks. Also the cheeks of nearby friends. Do you see the deadly combos already? Dragons breath to easily get enemies low health then the reaper shows up. We already got combos in mind for FragPunk.

X35 Earthwalker FragpPunk

It’s been estimated that 2 1/2 mins is the length of each round. FragPunk timing. This time actually means quite a bit. More players will be moving with speed. This means things have to be done fast as well. Combine that with the short time to kill and you have quite the situation. Players will have to have reactions for sure. This also brings up the problem of PC players. In games like this PC has an advantage. Many console players don’t want to play with PC players for multiple reasons. Hopefully FragPunk gives players the choice concerning cross platform. Turn it off for players who don’t want it.

X35 Earthwalker FragpPunk

There’s currently 12 characters in FragPunk and each one of course has their own abilities. So those who are familiar with Valorant should understand this quite easily. Some characters can gather information while others have the means to set traps. Then on top of that there’s 17 different weapons. Some weapons have special abilities. For example, a gun might actually shoot faster over time. Some weapons got the burst. figured out what this means yet. The combinations are seriously high. Over 100 cards with different effects, 12 characters with different abilities, with 17 different weapons, some of which have abilities. There’s going to be crazy diverse situations to create… and face. Players need to learn fast.

X35 Earthwalker FragpPunk

We checked out some FragPunk gameplay and it’s what we expected. We also expected great maps from FragPunk and it looks like it. The maps aren’t just simple designed maps. There’s visual effects like graffiti, stylised and realistic textures, collages too. Animations aren’t top tier for todays standards. The pace of matches set good for what’s shown. The cards will keep things engaging and entertaining for a long time. Just discovering all the cards will be an adventure in itself. Card use animation is cool though. FragPunk has the means to be better than other Hero Shooters but developers must never forget the fun factor.

Overall FragPunk is looking like a great game right. It definitely looks fun. Xbox players especially will be in for a great time. Colourful games and maps are more of our kind of thing. We want a Pro Shooter that’s fun and NOT PC focused or advantaged. Simple solution but no developers so far are as good as X35 Earthwalker. The developers ‘Bad Guitar Studio’ have done a great job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye on this game. Now FragPunk may have game changing cards but those cards have no effect on… the ‘Earth Walk!’

The Relic: The First Guardian. Or last?

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker The Relic: First Guardian

The Relic: The First Guardian is an action role playing game developed by ‘Project Cloud games’ and published by ‘Perp games‘. The Relic: The First Guardian is said to be coming out in 2025 on the Xbox Series X/S, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker looks forward to seeing what this game has to offer. The Relic: The First Guardian needs to have a stand out factor. Let’s take a look.

The Relic: The First Guardian is set in Arsiltus. Players control what’s called the ‘last guardian’. Basically Arsiltus got swallowed up by the “void created by the destruction of the great relic” which turned it into the land of death. So yeah, a nice place to live and hang out in. So yeah the mission is simple. Get to work as the guardian, collect the pieces of the great relic and then close the void.

X35 Earthwalker The Relic: First Guardian

Already The Relic: The First Guardian has some factors that make it different. For starters there are no levels for your character. Instead what determines your strength will be your items, crafting and even runes. It’s how you built and equip your character. So no level grinding here. The Relic: The First Guardian is also described as semi-open world. So exploration is still a factor.

X35 Earthwalker The Relic: First Guardian

Action is a big factor here. The amount of emphasis on the action is real. The Relic: The First Guardian even describes players having “action-packed experiences”. Ruined damaged worlds like this are off course going to be loaded with threats, dangers and things that just want to kill you. This is further supported by the movement speed of the guardians. The speed is there. Definitely like to see it.

X35 Earthwalker The Relic: First Guardian

We checked out some The Relic: The First Guardian gameplay and it’s what we expected. It’s all action and it does it very well. There are 5 different types of weapon options and they definitely change how you fight. From big heavy swings that crush through bodies and armour. To high mobility even jumping attacks and using items. To even a powerful shield and bash to disrupt and set things up. It’s quite satisfying to watch. A lot of effort went into the effects. For example if a big foe smashes the ground with an attack, expect debris, grass or whatever to be launch and fly off with each strike. Very well done. Looking intense.

Overall The Relic: The First Guardian is looking like an excellent game. The graphics are excellent. Very very good for todays standards. The animations are top tier by the looks of it. Good work went into that. The effects of attacks and the environment is excellent too. This already showing that The Relic: The First Guardian is a good game based on design standard. There is off course more things to see. Especially concerning the story and bosses. The developers ‘Project Cloud games’  have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for this game. Now The Relic: The First Guardian may have excellent design standard but it’s way below the standard when compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’

X35 Earthwalker ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist

Now certain fans who have been paying attention will recognise the style of this game. Remember Ender Lilies? Yeah. That’s right. The combat in ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist is said to be a step up from Ender Lilies in terms of both “gameplay and exploration”. Players will be fighting with the help of their companions… so make sure to get them. There’s also additional difficulty levels. This means more options for the players. The babies can play on easy difficulty while the real players play for real. Shots fired.

X35 Earthwalker ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist

We checked out some ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist gameplay and it’s what we expected. It;’s definitely a step up from Ender Lilies. There’s said to be 30 different skills that you can receive from your companions. So you already know there’s variety in the combat styles. There’s also lots of relics, items and equipment. Get them and also upgrade them as well. The combat is looking good too. The big boss enemies are bringing some intimidation. Also looking like a high risk fight too. Hopefully things match up… if you know what we mean.

Overall ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist is looking like an excellent game. You can acquire a mount which can just push its way through foes. Defeat powerful enemies and get companions. Time your dodges and rolls for evasion. Truly get into some serious scraps. A nice looking map but not great. The animations are nice as well. There’s quite the story here and they clearly want to make it deep and sort of dark too. The squad who worked on the music for Ender Lilies, Mili, is here as well to compose more music. The developers ‘Adglobe and Live Wire’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to hear what this game truly brings to the console. ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist may be trying to bring an upgraded experience but it’s still too low for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
