Souls games are known for being tough, gritty, and dark. 505 Games and Point Blank Games have challenged the Souls game genre with Stray Blade, how does it stack up with some other Souls games? Stray Blade follows an adventurer named Farren who while on an adventure has now found themselves in an unfamiliar world he must explore with his otherworldly companion Boji while fighting off enemies that are pursuing them on their adventure. Now onto the game itself! The controls for Stray Blade are a touch confusing at first I’ll admit but having access to review the control scheme and having a tutorial helps. I don’t know if I just suck at my timing but I feel that the parry button is broken, no matter how much I time it I can’t parry but thankfully the dodge button works! Stray Blade‘s sound design will need some tweaking when you first play depending on where you have the sound coming

Cococucumber is an indie game studio that’s been making a splash in the ocean of game development with its interesting titles. I’ve been lucky enough to get the opportunity to experience their latest title, Ravenlok. I would like to thank Cococucumber for letting me take a trip through the looking glass with this one. Ravenlok is a Voxel art-style game in the third person where players take on the role of a girl who is brought into a magical world where a prophecy foretold her intervention and bringing peace back to the dark lands that are becoming corrupted by an evil queen. Now onto the game itself. The controls for Ravenlok are surprisingly minimal but satisfyingly simple. The game responds well to a controller (which is suggested for use for PC players, I know, clutch the pearls PC folks.). The game’s soundtrack actually has quite a chill vibe to it, I love how the level song changes its intensity depending

Everything is fine till the Vampires move in. That’s what happens in Arkane Studios and Bethesda’s Redfall. Players have been teased with the game for a while with some fearing it would end up in production hell as a result but here we are and Arkane and Bethesda reached out and gave me the chance to go to Redfall to fight some vampires to which I’m very grateful for the opportunity! Redfall is about an island in Massachusetts that has become overrun with vampires and cultists that allied themselves with them. After the island is sealed off from the mainland and the sun is eclipsed, four survivors teamed up to face the horrors ahead. Now onto the game itself! Redfall‘s controls are basic for an FPS game, so veterans of these kinds of games will have a leg up on the bloodsuckers. Headphones are a must, I know I say that a lot, but in this game there are secrets

I can think of no job I would not want than being the one who has to operate and care for a cemetery. People dying to meet you, working the graveyard shift, having a bunch of working stiffs as coworkers, putting the fun back in funerals, noisy nights with all the coffins, playing formaldehyde and seek with corpses, dealing with grave issues, getting buried in the work, OK I’ll stop with the puns. Lazy Bear Games and Tinybuild have taken these worries and put them together into the dark comedy simulation Graveyard Keeper: Last Journey Edition. The Last Journey Edition includes the main game Graveyard Keeper and all the DLCs, Breaking Dead, Stranger Sins, Game of Crone, and the new Better Save Souls).

There are a lot of stores online where you can get your fix of cinema-themed items, but sometimes you want to go a bit outside the box where the limits are pushed with products that are not only eye-catching but works of art in their own rights. Welcome to The Original Underground! Described as a bad store for “Bad People”, I’m sure they mean bad as in my fellow morbid/dark humorous individuals, these items are must-haves for collectors and fans of Horror, Cult-Cinema, and nerdism with a touch of the punk-rock middle finger in your face. I want to give The Original Underground a huge thank you for sending over a care package for me to check out and God Damn did they not disappoint! Let us unpack what you see here.

You’ve seen artists with posable wooden figures, they’re cool but are limited in their movement and expression. This can be hard for someone who wants to get into drawing their own comics, manga, and storyboards. Well, help is on the way in the form of Stickybones, a poseable mannequin for not just drawing, but animation as well! I want to give a big thank you to the awesome folks over at Stickybones for making this review possible by sending over Karl, well, that’s what I’m calling him now. “Who’s Karl?” you’re probably (not) asking. Karl is my Stickybone figure who came in Yellow and Black, not gonna lie, the colors are awesome, giving a crash test dummy/biohazard vibe! Karl came disassembled, DON’T PANIC (like I did), it’s actually quite easy to figure out which parts go where but if the instructions (that came with it) are confusing, Stickybones has an assembly video you can watch! Karl is 8.5 inches tall
