New ‘The Last of Us Part II’ Trailer Reopens Old Wounds For Fans

With The Game Awards coming up on December 10th, game developer and distribution companies, as in tradition, re-release trailers for games that they released that year with the hopes to build hype and snag awards, especially the coveted award for “Game of the Year”. Today, Naughty Dog and PlayStation released a new trailer for one of the contenders seeking the top prize, along with the release of the trailer has come some hate from fans, of course, the game I’m talking about it The Last of Us Part II. The new trailer focuses on the story of the controversial character Abby and its dramatic collision with fan-favorite Ellie’s. The Last of Us Part II is possibly the most controversial game in 2020 due to how fans (over)reacted to the game’s plot involving the character Abby, so much so that fans have sent death threats to the actress playing her, and fans making a petition demanding a remake of the game.

Game Review: ‘Chronos: Before The Ashes’

THQ Nordic gave me the opportunity to experience a truly unique and beautiful RPG that is Chronos: Before the Ashes. This game is a prequel to Remnant: From the Ashes. Chronos: Before the Ashes, takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where players play as a hero who is sent to a place known as the Labyrinth to put an end to an evil that comes from it. The gateway to this other world is only open once a year and if the player dies, they come back to the Labyrinth a year later, and older. Now onto the game itself! The controls are easy to learn and are pretty basic for an RPG involving the use of shields and weapons so fans of hack & slash games will most likely have fun with this, the option to turn on the tutorial is a great option too. The fighting has Dark Souls feel to it as blocks, parries, and dodges play

SadSquare Studio was awesome enough to let me experience the long-awaited spiritual successor to P.T. that had fans of the playable teaser excited, I’m talking about Visage.

Game Review: There’s Hope With ‘Little Hope’

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, and a massive thank you to Bandai Namco for sending me a copy of Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope the sequel to the hit game, Man of Medan. This third-person horror experience is pretty much an interactive movie where the choices you make will affect the characters in the story and will determine who lives and who dies. Little Hope follows four college students and their professor who while on a field trip got stranded after their bus got into an accident while being re-routed through the ghost town of Little Hope, once there, the group soon begin to notice that the past still haunts the town… Onto the game itself! The first thing I noticed right away is the animation of Little Hope is way better than Man of Medan as there was a lot of screen tearing and slow frame rate but it’s silky smooth this time around! On the subject of graphics, the art and

Game Review: ‘Kingdoms Of Amalur: Re-Reckoning’

THQ Nordic again came through and gave me the opportunity to give the remastered version of a past hit of EA’s, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a try. The original RPG fantasy came out in 2012 and was praised highly by critics but today, I’ll be checking out THQ’s Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning! In this game, you play as a hero who started off dead but because of an experiment, was brought back to life! You awaken to a world that’s at war pitting mortals and immortals against one another and because your fate has yet been decided, you’re caught up in the middle of it. Now onto the game itself! When it comes to controls they’re easy to get a hold of and the tutorial helps a lot in the beginning and the manual on the main menu is a lifesaver. Wish I could say the same for the camera controls which are, sorry to be blunt, trash as it
