Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Best One Yet

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a stealth/action adventure game developed and published by ‘Ubisoft’. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is said to be coming out the 15th of November 2024 on the Xbox Series X, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker is looking for the assassin’s creed game that brings him back into the series. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is out here trying to be that game. Let’s take a look. [This G blog will be a different style as so much information on this game is already out]

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set in Japan. So Assassin’s Creed fans finally get what they’ve been asking for, for years. Ubisoft had a lot of thinking to do concerning this game and what type of Assassin’s Creed game they wanted to make. What do we mean? Very simple. Assassin Creed has two types. Stealth focused and action focused. The earlier Assassin’s Creed games were clearly more stealth based. Hide, blend in, watch the movement of the enemies and make your move. Then escape after assassinating target. The action Assassin’s Creed games were mainly your character straight up facing all the foes in the open and besting them in combat with some crazy abilities. There was still stealth mechanics but most just got up in there and started swinging. 

X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

Here’s the problem. Most of the older Assassin’s Creed fans have been calling for a return to stealth as the the most recent Assassin’s Creed games were all action really. So bring back stealth right? Well sales and money show that the most successful Assassin’s Creed games were the action ones. More players, more fame, more attention and more money. So many fans want the original but less popular but action makes the most money… which is the aim of EVERY business… making more money. So Ubisoft said screw it, let’s do both. This is the biggest strength and factor of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has TWO protagonists. Primary main character is Naoe and secondary main character is Yasuke. Naoe is the assassin. So all the sneaking, hiding, stealth kills and being one with the shadows is her. Yasuke is actually a real person in history. The first black samurai in Japan. He is the all action guy. As he said, kick down the front door, just face the foes and smash them. This solves the problem. So now stealth players can pick Naoe and be all stealth as much as they want while action players can just five into the action, no hiding with Yasuke. So that should shit up all the complaining. 

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players can switch between both characters for the missions. So you could play through the whole game as Naoe for stealth then in your second play through got all action and vice versa. Or you can mix it up and change mission by mission basis. You can even be like Larry who played a whole mission with Naoe, failed at the very end and just switched to Yasuke for the replay and tear everyone up. It’s up to you. Players love having options. So this move ticks of multiple boxes.

X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

X35 Earthwalker believes that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be the best Assassin’s Creed game yet. The combat with Yasuke is detailed. There is dodging, the heaviest attacks ever, armour and destruction of armour pieces, special attacks, blocks and even parries. It’s a full combat system. Uasuke feels incredibly powerful and smashes through his foes. Almost unstoppable. Naoe is not just stealth but the best stealth. She can can use projectiles to take out light sources, creating more shadows and darkness for he to hide and move through. She can hide up on the ceiling with plunger like tools. She can breathe underwater thanks to a reed or similar tube that pokes up to the surface granting her air. Naoe has new mechanics. Both characters are powerful in their own unique ways and clearly effective. Don’t underestimate Naoe in a fight and don’t underestimate Yasuke’s versatility as he has more than one weapon.

X35 Earthwalker Assassin's Creed Shadows

Disgusting but expected is the amount of hatred Assassin’s Creed Shadows got all because of one black person… Yasuke. Same with Angrboda in god of war ragnarok. So much racism today and it’s from the usual suspects each time. Yasuke is a real person who became a samurai in japan. Majority of historical websites including Britannica has stated that he’s a samurai as well with text and other historical evidence. Yasuke is famous in Japan and is in many Japanese media from books and stories to animations and shows. He’s even portrayed and showed as a samurai warrior in other games like Nioh. No issues with Yasuke then but the moment he’s shown in assassin’s creed shadows, all the racists suddenly became Japanese historians and posted racist memes and drawings and used hateful speech on Facebook, X and instagram. disgusting but evil is predictable. There has even been some white people exposed for pretending to be Japanese online to attack yasuke. Even the top voices of a so called Japanese petition to cancel the game were both white guys… not even Japanese. Now there’s a Japanese senator or whatever who is going against the game… for what reason besides yasuke. The hate is real. X35 Earthwalker has podcast episodes explaining and debunking these foolish things. Also a youtuber made a video where he proved with Japanese text that Yasuke is a samurai. Check those out below:

First podcast episode – https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Nm27YHAuqEg6PW22N2YjG

Second podcast episode – https://open.spotify.com/episode/2MgFNXU6SWGpDeTxlh91M4

We checked out some Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay and it’s what we expected. Exploring Japan, standing up for the people, marking targets and getting information on said targets. Use a horse for traversing the place. The lighting in this game is impressive. It makes the moments sneaking around with Naoe more beautiful and intense. The flames and light sources are excellently done here. As the game gets closer to release date, animations , character interactions and details will be stepped up. The gameplay Ubisoft showed is obviously not the final product. Also Assassin’s Creed Shadows is not $130. That’s a lie. The ultimate edition is $130 while the standard is $70 like many other games. So much hate towards this game. It’s sad. This is the first Assassin’s Creed game in a long time that has actually interested us. Assassin’s Creed Shadows might be the game to bring us back in.

Overall Assassin’s Creed Shadows looks like it’s going to be a fantastic game. This will be the best Assassin’s Creed game. Both Assassin’s Creed styles and even completely new mechanics. Now the biggest factor will be the huge amounts of racist who are trying so hard to lead a campaign against this game. Ignoring those fools, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is going to be successful. It has all components needed for it. The developers ‘Ubisoft’ have done a fantastic job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye out for this game. Now Assassin’s Creed Shadows may have two protagonists but those two aren’t enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

EvilVEvil. Vampire Shooter

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker EvilVEvil

EvilVEvil is a First Person Shooter game developed and published by ‘Toadman Interactive‘. EvilVEvil is said to be coming out the 16th of July 2024 on the Xbox Series X, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker has mastered slaying vampires with all kinds of weapons. EvilVEvil is looking to bring fast paced vampire action. Let’s take a look.

EvilVEvil is all about vampire slaying action. It’s about going through hordes of them “without remorse”. There’s vampire characters, that’s right you are the vampires. Each one has their own style, attitude and abilities. Fight and shoot through their story. They are more closer to a vampire like Blade than let’s say Redfall and their vampire gods. These vampires have weapons and more.

X35 Earthwalker EvilVEvil

The main focus is taking down Zagreus and his followers. Some say a cult. Feed on them. shoot them ip. Blast them and more. Zagreus even has machinations. Humanity is in danger and it’s up to the vampires this time? Strange stuff going on here. By the way the name of the three we have seen are: Mashaka, Victoria, Ramirez.

Now one of the main features promoted about EvilVEvil is the co-op action. You can have up to two others join you in your battles. This allows for some crazy action. Even playing by yourself will feel powerful… more powerful. will co-op be a straight up shooting experience or is there co-op mechanics to add to it.

X35 Earthwalker EvilVEvil

So concerning the vampires you can sum them up basically with berserker, assassin and arcanist. We all know they do not fight the same way at all. Each character is enhanceable. You can improve what makes them good and more than make up for their weaknesses with some artifacts. We even see one that looked like an energy sword which destroys foes.

We checked out some EvilVEvil gameplay and it’s what we expected. It’s definitely fast paced. There’s some hordes for sure and you got to blast through them. The berserker loves getting up high and dicing into a crowd with ground pounding abilities. Area of effect abilities, automatic weapons and off course the strong dingle fire revolver type weapon. It’s just all action.

Overall EvilVEvil looks like a good game. Some stuff like the animations and trajectory of some abilities need some adjustments. Regardless EvilVEvil gives exactly what it says on the front of the box. Vampire fighting, slaying, shooting action. Co-op for the friends and bite on some neck meat. Nothing deep. Just fun. The developers ‘Toadman Interactive’ have done a great job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker are alright with seeing friendly-ish vampires helping out. Now EvilVEvil may have powerful vampires weighing artifacts and guns but they are too weak for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption Expansion

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Forges Of Corruption

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption is an action First Person Shooter game developed by ‘Auroch Digital‘ and published by ‘Digital Foundry‘. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption is said to be coming out the 18th of June 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5 and PS4. X35 Earthwalker likes to see good games get expanded and supported. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption is out here bringing more action to the gamers.

X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Forges Of Corruption

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is back and now there’s more bang for your boltgun… or was it buck? Whatever that saying is. Now coming up is the Forges of Corruption expansion. This means players will need to grab the boltgun they stashed under the kitchen sink and pick up the chainsword they left in the garage. It’s time to destroy more heresy and chew bubble gum… and most of us is all out gum.

X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Forges Of Corruption

Word on the streets of the emperor is that Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption has a whole brand new campaign. No not a Halo campaign… a Warhammer one. There’s going to be 5 levels and are suppose to be environments of a varied kind. So expect variety. The level designs are off course based on the grimdark lore of Warhammer 40000. For example, there’s a demon forge and you know those places be active. There’s Graia battlefields and a manufactorum. Additionally we should mention that there’s even a horde mode now. So fighting endless waves of enemies and filth is a thing. Fight and blast for as long as you want. Great unclean ones and lord of changes are waiting for you as well.

X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Forges Of Corruption

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption wouldn’t be a real expansion if there wasn’t new enemies and weapons. Thank the emperor there is. Or is he the false emperor?.. Why is that inquisitor looking at me all of a sudden? Anyways. Players can expect to face the Black Havoc Legion who will be launching missiles at you. There’s even helbrutes and we know those boys are big body! Don’t let them baby shake you. There’s even terminators who have lighting claws. But fear not for you can fight back with the famous Multi-Melta and even a missile launcher. Fight back space marine.

X35 Earthwalker Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Forges Of Corruption

We checked out some Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption gam play and it’s what we expected and should be what gamers expected as well. If you like Doom then you will like this. It’s as simple as that. Run around or zoom around while blowing up enemies, cutting them down, shooting them up, blasting them apart, big body some enemies or take your time and line up that shot. It’s just pure first person shooter action… but now with more stuff than before. Bring death to the heretics. There’s no shame, their souls are already lost!

Overall Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption looks like it’s going to be excellent. It’s just more of what we liked. That’s good. Keep it simple. They gave more levels, more enemies, more guns. Tick all the boxes. There’s no need to comment on the graphics and sounds as it’s an expansion so you are getting the same basically. The developers Auroch Digital have done an excellent job with this expansion. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open concerning this game. Now Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Forges of Corruption may have some new things but they don’t make a difference when it comes too… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Astor: Blade of the Monolith. Looky here

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Astor: Blade of the Monolith

Astor: Blade of the Monolith is an action Role Playing Game developed by C2 Game Studio and published by Versus Evil and tinyBuild games. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is said to be coming out the 30th of May 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS5 and PS4. X35 Earthwalker likes a nice big adventure set in a creative world. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is looking to bring a big mystery. Let’s take a look. 

Astor: Blade of the Monolith is set in the on the planet Gliese. Players control the character Astor. He is a Diokek. Let us explain a bit. The planet Gliese is a fully colourful and guess you can say vibrant place. An ancient race use to live there. They are gone… maybe.. but what’s certain is that their creations, the Diokek now inhabit the place. Then some time later mean creatures called the Hiltsik, were attacking and bringing destruction. Settlements destroyed. Now some clues point to something bigger at play here than just attacks. So our character Astor sets out to get to the bottom of this.

X35 Earthwalker Astor: Blade of the Monolith

Astor: Blade of the Monolith will have players on a journey across the planet Gliese. Main mission isn’t actually to fight the Hiltsik but actually to find out what happened to your creators. The ancient race that disappeared thousands of years ago. Maybe, just maybe you can find a solution to your current problem through them. Maybe the ancient race left behind weapons, technology or even an answer. One can hope. One can fight.

The main strengths of Astor: Blade of the Monolith right off the base is the visuals, the story/mystery and off course the combat. Visually is obvious and clear to see (SEE what we did there?). The combat is the main star in this action role playing game. There’s runic weapons for players to wield and use to destroy foes. You combine that combat with the abilities and mobility that Astor has and you got yourself some sweet combat. Expect to charge enemies, cause knockback, double jump, combo while in the air, bring down the hammer (literally), ground pound, summon giant fists to smash and more.

X35 Earthwalker Astor: Blade of the Monolith

Remember that this planet, Gliese, is alive and got quite a bit going on. Players may come across places where there’s others just going about their day and lives. Settlements were attacked but not all of them. Maybe say hi. Other locations include forests, ice lands, deserts, building structures, you get the point. 

X35 Earthwalker Astor: Blade of the Monolith

We checked out some Astor: Blade of the Monolith gameplay and it’s what we expected. There’s a lot going on and the combat is quite furious.  We are seeing multiple options and even semi-stylish ways to destroy foes. There’s even a creature to hop on to get a ride. Quick transportation you could say. We like the difference in combat style when you use the spear versus using the sword. Quite artistic and flowing, making it a small treat to watch. This ain’t no little project. Astor: Blade of the Monolith is looking quite serious.

Overall Astor: Blade of the Monolith is looking like an excellent game. We hearing there’s like 20+ hours worth of main story content but there’s also side missions/quests for players to get into as well. There’s bosses with health bars, special abilities, finishing moves, combos, a variety of areas and more. Will Aston be the one to save the world? What do you think? He is the main character after all. Don’t they like always win. The developers ‘C2 Game Studio’ have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker may keep an eye open for this game. Now Astor: Blade of the Monolith may have a whole planet and adventure but it’s far too small for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Bright Memory: Infinite. Insane Action

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Bright Memory Infinite

Bright Memory: Infinite is a fantastic game. X35 Earthwalker declares that right of the bat. Matter of fact we won’t make you wait. It’s a 10/10 under one condition. The fact that it’s got one developer! Many know by now that Bright Memory: Infinite was developed by one guy. The developer FYQD-Studio. For one person, yes, Bright Memory: Infinite is easily 10/10. bigger developer groups have made games not as good as Bright Memory: Infinite. We just wanted to do a quick G-Blog out of respect for this game. Let’s take a look.

X35 Earthwalker always was interested in Bright Memory: Infinite. X35 played the platinum version of Bright Memory: Infinite. This game is all about action. Players control Shelia, who wields multiple guns and a sword. On top of that she has special tech that allows control over her enemies. For example you can pull enemies towards you and have them stuck in the air in slow motion for you to finish off or blast away. You can do a repelling blast also. Your sword allows for quick and strong slices to destroy foes. Let’s get more into it.

X35 Earthwalker Bright Memory Infinite

Bright Memory: Infinite has combos. You can do a sliding rising slice to launch enemies into the air for you to dice them up before they hit the ground. Unlock skills for more abilities like charging up your blade to release a flying slash attack. Leap into the air to do a powerful electric charged downwards strike. Charge up your fist for a shocking electric punch. Upgrade that same skill for the ultimate power as it becomes a literal flaming explosive punch that one shots everything except big bosses. That fire punch blasts through shields as well. 

The gun play in Bright Memory: Infinite is fantastic. Hit registration is clean allowing for accurate shots and quick dealing with enemies. There’s the assault rifle, shotgun, automatic pistol and sniper rifle. A weapon for all situations. Each gun has alternate fire modes which are all powerful. Assault rifle has tracking mini missiles, Shotgun has incendiary rounds, Automatic pistol has a massive explosive shot and sniper rifle has sticky bombs. Again, more layers to the combat. Some enemies truly get destroyed by certain weapons. For example, even big bosses get stunned and interrupted by the explosive pistol bomb shot.

X35 Earthwalker Bright Memory Infinite

Some dumb reviewers wanted to deduct marks from Bright Memory: Infinite because of how short the game is and how simple the story is or lack thereof. Well of course it’s going to be a short game without an expansive story. Bright Memory: Infinite wasn’t made by 343 industries or Fromsoftware. It’s made by ONE GUY. Bright Memory: Infinite obviously took him a very long time. Of course it’s not going to be a massive game with tons of deep lore. Review and judge games taking into consideration what the game is. Context matters. 

Bright Memory: Infinite isn’t all action as there is a stealth section because your equipment stopped working thanks to the anomaly. You find a nearby lethal weapon and get to work sneaking past enemies soldiers and assassinate whoever you please. There’s also a part where you get support with a vehicle. You have a drive sequence with a powerful rocket launcher to take out enemy vehicles and escape a collapsing cave. Shelia also has excellent mobility. she can double jump, evade dash and even run along walls. Again, it’s all action. You can time your block to help stagger enemies and even reflect certain projectiles back at opponents. For example you can reflect shotgun fire and flaming arrows back at enemies.

Overall Bright Memory: Infinite is a fantastic Xbox exclusive game. Bright Memory: Infinite Platinum Edition shines best off course on the Xbox Series X. There’s the option to play in either first or third person mode. There’s different skins for Shelia as well from casual clothes to her default combat gear. Bright Memory: Infinite especially with the affordable price is worth playing even today. No regrets over here. The developer FYQD-Studio did a fantastic top tier job. We at X35 Earthwalker look forward to what’s next for this game and the developer. Now Bright Memory: Infinite may be fantastic but not on the same level as… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Xbox is Number 1 and Getting Stronger

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Xbox

Xbox is number 1 in the gaming world and it’s only getting stronger and stronger. X35 Earthwalker has been with Xbox for a very long time and seen the growth in fames the powerful gaming consoles and what was to come. Xbox has become the biggest giant with success after success. Loads more games, many studios, showcases, awards, living in people’s heads rent free and more. Xbox is also being unfairly treated by so called gaming media outlets and content creators and people tend to focus on those false negative things more. X35 Earthwalker himself wants to speak on this matter as a G-blog this time. Let’s take a look.

Quick note – X35 Earthwalker has talked about all and this and more in deeper details on the Spotify podcast. Below are the links for them. 

Digital vs Physical – Listen up

Xbox vs PlayStation. Let’s Settle This – Listen up

Xbox Dominance. They are getting Stronger – Listen up

Xbox continues to Dominate. Number One – Listen up

What matters most is the games. Xbox has quality, the quantity and the variety when it comes to the fames. Much more than Playstation. Before Xbox put the four games on to Playstation, Xbox had Hi-fi Rush, Grounded, Sea of thieves, Pentiment, Minecraft, Minecraft dungeons, Flight simulator (there’s other simulators too), Diablo 4, Fallout, Stalker, Redfall, Forza Horizon 5, Gears of War 5, Palworld, Starfield, Halo Infinite off course and much more. Then on top of that there’s many Xbox exclusives on the way like Blade, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Ara: History untold, Visions of Mana, Indiana Jones and Avowed. You want more? We can give more. X35 has a list he made in 2022, of xbox exclusives that were coming out and there was over 30. Off course some have come out by now while others are still to come like Bright Memory: Infinite, Tetris Effect: Connected, Gears Tactics, Stalker 3, Psychonauts 2, The Gunk, CrossfireX, Gable, Exomecha, The Ascent, Scorn, Second extinction, Warhammer 40000: dark tide and more still. Yet idiots want to Xbox has no games or trash games. Those people are morons. With Xbox having over 30 studios under them, you can expect even more games. Compare this incomplete list to what Playstation has and it’s not even close. X35 Earthwalker covered this and more in his podcast.

Next is the direction that gaming is going in. Less console focus and more services and software. X35 Earthwalker went into deep detail concerning this in his podcast. More people are getting PCs which is a win for Microsoft (Xbox). More people are on subscription services like Xbox Game Pass and PS+. Gaming isn’t the same as it was 10 years ago and even 5 years ago. Even the digital vs physical statistics show this. The whole world is going digital and even cloud. In this big area Xbox is ahead of everyone else. Matter of fact, sony is playing catch up right now. Xbox has set up an ecosystem and it’s not even in its final form yet. Xbox basically can be played anywhere. Console, PC, Tablet and Smart phones. We have tried all these out and they work well. We know there’s a new Xbox console on the way and even talks of the handheld one. Xbox Series X is already the most powerful console right now but the next one is going to be much stronger. Also the next Xbox hardwares will have AI involved and that’s another reason why Xbox is ahead… Microsoft. Microsoft is easily ahead of Sony in terms of money and power but Microsoft its also big and leading in the AI game. This is a massive advantage and it means better, more powerful and intelligent hardware and tech. It’s been reported that Microsoft owns 60-70% of the cloud gaming market. So Xbox has the majority.

Xbox also is dipping real big into the mobile gaming world too thanks to King, who is part of the ABK (Activision, Blizzard and King). King is big in the mobile gaming world. Ever heard of Candy Crush? Thought so. Then Blizzard back on good terms with Netease. Netease has many mobile games and are deep in China. Tis another connection with the east. Netease also got the Project Mugen which is huge and going to a big deal. Since Blizzard is under  Xbox, that means there’s no real reason for Project Mugen to not be on Xbox. Do you see what’s going on here.Revenue reports show that Xbox overall are doing very well and the ABK is a big factor in it. So that’s an excellent move from Xbox. On top of all this, Xbox Game Pass alone is a good of reason to own an Xbox. We spoke about this many times but the many on the Xbox Game Pass is better than the Playstation lineup. You get ALL the wolfenstein, Dead Space (including the remake), Mass Effect, Fable, Fallout, Gears of War and Halo Games plus over 100 more games including the resident evil remake game. Show me a better deal in gaming! You can’t do it! Xbox is the best and the best place for gamers. Think about it massive games like Ark Survival Ascended, Palworld and the game of the generation Starfield alone will keep you busy for hours and months on end. There are multiple people who already have over 1000 hours in Starfield. Then add the other great games and you actually don’t have enough time to play them all.

From the outside it isn’t as obvious at times because content creators, streamers and off course the gaming media outlets target Xbox and are very biased. Also known as the ‘Xbox tax’. The playstation fanboys also known as ponies join in as well. They will magnify any issues and downplay all success and good news Xbox gets. While ignoring or giving a free pass to all of playstation’s failings… as time goes on PlayStation is more of them. Playstation has suffered multiple blows and Ls. Let’s mention some of them: playstation bug that deleted some gamers digital games from their library, spider-bug 2 was overall disappointing concerning results including winning no awards, losing investors, lost 10 billion concerning stocks, final fantasy 7 rebirth wasn’t selling well, no major existing franchise release until 2025, state of play wasn’t successful, lost studios and shut down studios, basically going third party, playstation gamers aren’t playing and talking about Foamstars and helldivers 2 is being carried by pc players. On top of that Sony has decided to go day one release with PC like helldivers 2 and soon to be ghost of Tsushima. Now very recently playstation is messing up again as they are now forcing pc players of helldivers 2 to have a playstation account. Many pc players reacting aren’t happy at all. playstation when they finally get a good thing happen, they find a way to mess it up. Helldivers 2 is their only real up point except Stella blade (which they also messed up by censoring it after everyone has bought it). So as you can see, playstation has far more negative stuff going on while xbox is having a fantastic year so far.

X35 Earthwalker Xbox June showcase

Overall it’s pretty clear what’s going on. Xbox is having a fantastic year so far, even better than last year while playstation has been taking L after L. Xbox is ahead of everyone including Nintendo concerning the new direction of gaming. Mobile, service, xcloud etc. Plus Xbox will take over the hand held console gaming as they will have the strongest hand held console buffed up by AI built into their whole ecosystem. Xbox has over 30 studios under them so more games are on the way. Microsoft has the most money are so can buy more studios or set up more things. Xbox Game Pass is the best deal in all of gaming. Starfield is getting a massive update that’s going to make it take over gaming once again. Palworld went viral and brought many players in and more updates are coming for it. Xbox is ahead in money, studios, games, console, services, ecosystem and show cases. Pure Xbox has some details on the showcase. It’s clear who’s number one. That’s Xbox. We are looking for to the June showcase, Starfield update and more. Keep it up Xbox. Just don’t give our major games to playstation. Keep our big games. Gamers want to play them, they need to get an Xbox or PC. X35 Earthwalker, the worlds smartest man has spoken. Now it’s clear that Xbox is winning but what’s the true winner is… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Age of Water. Submerged World

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Age of Water

Age of Water is an Open World Adventure Massive Multiplayer Online game developed by Three Whales Studio and published by ‘Gaijin Network‘. Age of Water is said to be coming out the 18th of April 2024 on the Xbox Series X, PS5 and PC. X35 Earthwalker loves wonderfully done open worlds in gaming. Age of Water is said to be unforgiving… we doubt that. Let’s take a look. 

Age of Water has a simple to understand story. Ir’s post apocalyptic so you already know something big has happened and the world is in a bad state. The whole world is submerged. People live in settlements and homes they built on top of what ever is above the water. Survival is the top priority here. Platers control a sea captain. Lead your boat through a “unforgiving” world. Explore, fight, trade and mine.

Games like Age of Water normally haver lots for players to do and a lot going on. Since Age of Water is also a MMO, we can expect co-operation with other players to help conquer the seas sort off. We hear there will be storms and off course hostile groups on the oceans. Expect to encounter people on small boats while some have warships. So players must pick their battles wisely. What we hope for though are additional threats but in the ocean itself. We truly hope there are actual dangers like sharks, maybe giant squid or depending on how real world they want the game to be, maybe something more fictional.

Players will get involved in trades. Sell some artifacts that you find. Maybe straight up take someone else’s boat for yourself. You can also build your own too. On the business side of things players should aim to mine the the resources found on the ocean bottom. Not only is it resources but it’s the way to learn some secrets and uncover the mysteries in Age of Water.

We checked out some Age of Water gameplay and it’s what we expected. We like that some people haven’t given up on the idea of finding land. There are settlements for players to engage with. Speak with the local people and even take on missions. Of course a game like Age of Water must have bases. You can construct your own base in this watery world. There is off course technology to spend points on and unlock new things, including stuff like “superstructures”.  

Overall Age of Water looks like a good game so far but nothing has truly grabbed us right now. There’s definitely a number of things going on here. We like the ocean, we like a post apocalyptic world that brings in the feeling of one. We like the style of the game as well. Lots of gamers will like this and be drawn the world. Those massive warships are currently the most impressive thing so far. We will have to see more of this game though. The developers ‘Three Whales Studio’ have done a very good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker might have to place a tracker on Age of Water. Now Age of Water may have a submerged world but it’s not deep enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. It’s War!

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an Open world Action Role Playing Game develop by ‘A44 Games‘ and published by ‘Kepler Interactive’. Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is said to be coming out in the summer of 2024 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and PC. This game will be in the Xbox Game pass as well. X35 Earthwalker is interested to see what this game delivers in full. Seems that Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn has a lot to prove already. Let’s talk a look.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn has a busy world. Humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction (as always) due to evil on the loose. What evil? An army of the undead who belong to the old gods. What happened? The door to the afterlife was opened. How and why? We aren’t telling you. Now what’s called the coalition Army is taking the fight to them. It’s humanity vs gods… well more like budget discount gods. As always we are betting that these so called gods are actually going to be lame and disappointing. Maybe Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn can prove us wrong.

Players control Nor Vanek. She is part of the Coalition Army. A dangerous member for sure. She has a pet/companion/friend called Enki. This little creature has magical powers. Nor is definitely going to need Enki and its powers for this fight. Enki basically looks like a small wolf with straight goat horns and pointy narrow elephant ears. A corrupted evolved Umbreon maybe. Enki would have been better if it was bigger in size. Nor Vanek looks cool and military. Definitely liking the hair too. Adding more variety to the gaming world. She has competent written almost all over her. What we don’t like is that the developers went for another safe play with the generic female body type. slim, default standard issue that you see of npc in like almost every game. Developers these days are too scare to add meat and curves (not fat) to female designs. We need more variety. We also don’t like her eye lashes. It’s the same big eye lashes that you see on the internet today and we hate them. They never look good. Otherwise we like the look of the two stars of the game.

Now for the combat. This is the main things going on here. We see a main melee weapon mainly an axe. There’s a rifle for that long range action. Lastly of course there’s magic and that mystical business. There’s a whole combo system with special moves for different purposes. There’s a poised shot, a counter attack, charged pistol shots, sprint attacks, attacks you sync up with Enki and more. You even get a nice breakdown of the special things you do and their numbers on the HUD. Effective system by the looks of it. This does remind us of Fable 3 which had melee weapon, gun and magic. Hopefully Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn blends these things together well enough. There’s almost endless room for creativity. So no excuse here. Will there be magic infusion? What about area of effect abilities? We know that executions very cleanly utilises your weapons. We need to see that sort of blend in the game as well. Also each weapon needs to actually be effective. Lords of the Fallen made their ranged weapons very useful. Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn needs to get this right. combat does look clean though. We see smooth movement, turns and strikes.

Next is the world. Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an open world game. So we expected a big world with multiple locations and variety. We see basically villages, walled cities, rocky and snowy places, canyon and dusty places, palm trees, coasts and bodies of water. We do like how this world looks. Not depressing and dead. There’s some life and colour in this world. Will collectibles be a thing in? There are chests for players to find. For example you might get Blast Grenade. Obvious what it does but what’s not obvious is that Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn seems to have a system where getting multiple of that item can upgrade it. Increasing its number of uses and stuff like that. Players will need to find other members of the Coalition Army like the weaponry and explosives experts to unlock new services and upgrades. There’s spots and checkpoints that you can get to restore health and take a little break. 

X35 Earthwalker Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn

We checked out some Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn gameplay and it’s what we expected for the most part. We aren’t impressed with the enemies. They seem to be mostly humanoid with some having auras and shields. We see some others like giant spiders. We hope to see a cool variety but right now the enemies list looking weak. We do like that enemies receiving killing blows can lose their limbs. nice, gory and adds some flavour to the combat. There’s also a mechanic for the sniper gamers. If you score a long range kill shot on an enemy (assuming it’s kill only), you get a bullet camera to see the journey of your shot. Nice touch to the rifle gameplay. Enemies can be interrupted with certain attacks, especially charged shots. Multi jumping for more mobility and aerial control. Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn has a lot of going on in the game. From combat, world, mechanics, options, mobility etc.  

Overall Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn looks like an excellent game. Graphics are very good and the animations are very good also. Let’s quickly address some of the drama. People telling others online to boycott and avoid this game because sweet baby inc had some part in it at some point. sweet baby inc sucks and ruin almost everything they touch BUT they are NOT the developers. The developers are A44 Games. A44 Games worked really hard on this game. They even delayed the game to make sure to get everything top and ready. Boycotting the game will only truly punish A44 Games. A bunch of people worked hard and did their best to deliver a game and people are going to attack them to attack sweet baby inc. That’s pathetic. At least now A44 games learnt the truth about sweet baby inc and avoid them from now on but maybe they didn’t know before as many people still don’t know anything about sweet baby inc. Judge the game based on the game itself and not outside drama. If Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn sucks to you then avoid it but if it’s good then give it a go. Very simple. A44 Games has done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye out for this game. Now Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn may have a war with the gods.

Another Crab’s Treasure. A Crab’s Life

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
X35 Earthwalker Another Crabs Treasure

Another Crab’s Treasure is an action adventure game developed and published by ‘Aggro Crab‘. Another Crab’s Treasure is said to be coming out the 25th of April 2024 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. X35 Earthwalker can confirm that crabs are tasty.  Another Crab’s Treasure is making the crustacean the main star here. Let’s take a look.

Another Crab’s Treasure has an understandable story. Players control Kril the crab… a hermit crab. Basically someone took Kril’s shell and sold it most likely. Or he was behind on rent and it got repossessed. To a hermit crab, their shell is literally their home. It’s that important. So Kril can’t just get it back. He has to buy it back. Life’s a hoe like that sometimes. Buying back your repossessed shell isn’t cheap. So the only logical thing to do is embark on an epic quest to recover treasure which can be used to get the shell back.

So Kril arms himself and gets to work. You must battle and fight your way through. dodge attacks, time your strikes and survive. Keil isn’t the only one looking for treasure. The ocean is a dangerous place. Predators exist after all. Besides, there’s bigger things happening in the ocean. The ocean is polluted. Kril may be the one to learn the dark secret behind the pollution of the ocean… no, we won’t assume it’s the works of man. After all it could be ocean denizens with a crab in a bucket mentality.

A hermit crab isn’t strong so Kril will need protection, especially since he has no shell anymore. Players must find trash which can be used as a shell instead to help tank blows from enemies. So crab a food tin, box or whatever… then stick it on you. You Ian;’t done now. Trash in the ocean can be used for more things including weapons… maybe a firearm. Don’t forget about the solution though. Trash ain’t clean. Gunk is here and we aren’t talking about that great game called The Gunk.

X35 Earthwalker Another Crabs Treasure

We checked out some Another Crab’s Treasure gameplay and it’s not really what we expected. There’s more to the combat. You’ll get the chance to learn what’s called umami techniques from the other ocean dwellers. These are strong attacks that can change the battle. For example using a bobbit worm to trap enemies or even a mantis shrimp punch. Now if you didn’t tell from the gameplay, Another Crab’s Treasure is described similar to a soulslike. So expect some difficulty. There’s assist options for players if they want to make the game easier but the same options can be used to make the game harder.

Overall Another Crab’s Treasure looks like a good game. The graphic style works for a game like this which has some comedy to it. It’s a more casual and fun atmosphere instead of everything being dead and dark. There’s jokes and some stuff to keep things light but beware… the game is said to be a challenge for sure. We doubt it though. We liking the different characters, their accents and the different foes. This just might be a fun game. The seaweed looking sort of suspicious though. The developers ‘Aggro Crab’ have done a very good job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to keep an eye open for this game. Now Another Crab’s Treasure may have a whole ocean but it’s still too small for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
