German indie game developer Mooneye Studios allowed me the honor to take a crack at Lost Ember, their debut game. This third-person adventure game takes you the adventure of a wolf with the ability to shape-shift into other animals as you explore lands once occupied by a civilization of people called the Yanrana. As mentioned, you play as a wolf. But there’s more to that, the wolf in a past life was a member of the Yanrana people whose soul is not permitted to pass to the afterlife. Fate brings the wolf together with the lost soul of a long-dead Yanrana who needs help passing to the next life; these are known as “Lost Embers”. The soul accompanies the wolf as the animal retraces its past life to uncover a way to help it pass on as well but along the way the wolf is granted a mysterious power that allows it to possess any creature it finds meaning that

Indie game developer Brain Seal Entertainment gave me the opportunity to prove myself to the gods by entering the fighting arenas of ancient Rome to show myself worthy! Or at least virtually with the help of their game Story of a Gladiator. This 2D beat ‘em up tells the story of a man of humble beginnings fighting his way to the top for glory as a gladiator with the hopes of competing at the Coliseum. Players can pick three different characters at the beginning of the game where each individual has their own perks, a Greek, a Carthaginian (North African), or Egyptian. There are three areas that you fight in, Capua in Greece, Neapolis in Carthage, and the Coliseum in the heart of the Roman Empire. In each arena has levels that are full of waves of enemies you must defeat in order to advance as well as earn coins and XP to build up your rankings and buy better

CI Games was kind enough to allow me the chance to go to the Siberian wilderness and pop some melons with their latest FPS Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts. I like sniper games so this was an exciting chance for me to experience one of the most complex ones I’ve played to date! In Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts you play as a mercenary known simply as “The Seeker”, who has been hired to enter the Republic of Siberia to help bring down its newly formed government all the while testing out a new technologically advanced mask and suit. Depending on the tasks completed for each mission and assignation contracts being met, The Seeker will be paid handsomely. Onto the game itself, first off, the physics of this game is very realistic. Unlike other sniper games, it’s not just simply line up your target in the crosshairs and pull the trigger, you have to take in account the wind direction, bullet drop,

Xaviant was awesome and invited me to preview their upcoming rogue-lite game, Don’t Die Minerva! for the Xbox One. The game will be available for Steam early access and Xbox Game Preview on December 9th! With it being a preview, the game I experienced is in the early stages of being finished so this is not a review. Don’t Die Minerva! Is about an 11-year old girl named Minerva who is looking for her parents, her search leads her to a spooky mansion that’s full of ghosts, evil spirits, and creatures. Armed with only a flashlight and stuffed animals, Minerva goes forth! Overall impression, this game is not only cute; it’s very bright and colorful. I dare say that the game makes it feel like Halloween again! The music is appropriate for the game as it’s not too over the top but also not subtle. I enjoy the fact that if Minerva walks through a smashed pumpkin or the ectoplasmic

The DLC’s story picks up after the part of Starkey’s story where he interrogates a member of Wellington Wells’s high society, Victoria Byng, by forcing her to go through withdrawal from Joy, a literal happy pill that plays a key role in the story that causes those who take it to see the world bright a colorful and peaceful even if it’s bleak.

It’s time to get nostalgic, and by getting nostalgic I mean going back to Jurassic Park for real this time in Jurassic World Evolution’s upcoming DLC Return to Jurassic Park! Fans of the 1993 film will be happy to hear the voices of Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum reprising their roles as players are tasked with restoring the original park to its former glory and reopening the famed torch-lined gates again to guests! Included in the DLC are seven new story missions that will unlock the abilities to create new buildings such as the visitor center from the first film and the dreaded aviary from the third! With that said you can’t have an empty aviary in your park, so one of the new dinos you can clone is the Pteranodon! Along with the new flying-dino, there will be the Compsognathus (Compy) the cute tiny lizard that’s scarier in large numbers made famous from the film’s second installment.

I enjoy folklore outside North America, so I was stoked when Versus Evil and Breadcrumbs Interactive allowed me to play their action RPG that revolves entirely around Slavic Mythology, YAGA. YAGA revolves around the tale of Ivan, a blacksmith that’s unlucky, and missing a hand because of it! Ivan is tasked with quests from the Tsar that will take him into the wilderness where he encounters bandits and mythological creatures as he smashes his way through them to achieve greatness, as well as looking for a wife (to quiet his Grandmother). As all this happens, Baba Yaga watches from beyond, influencing Ivan’s journey. The controls of the game are simple and easy to learn as there are not many buttons used in the game. Ivan’s main weapon is a hammer which not only can be used to strike enemies but can be thrown like Thor’s hammer and strike foes at a distance before spinning right back to him. You can

Sometimes choral, sometimes orchestral, the music also plugs into the steam punk world
