Elite Dangerous Beyond Chapter 4: Release Date

After a long wait, Beyond, Chapter 4 finally has a release date. December 11th to be exact, as reported by Eurogamer. As many of you are aware I have a long history with this game and have spent many hours simply exploring. This update most likely will bring that back. Hope to see you out there, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, despite its odd name, is a beautiful side-scrolling action RPG. You start the game controlling the Valkyrie, Gwendolyn. After receiving the spear of her dead sister after she died in battle. Her story is one of love and betrayal, tho not necessarily in that order.

The battle system itself is fast and easy to control, it mostly takes place off a few buttons but it is fluid and amazing to watch. You can mix potions and items for new and more powerful spells.

I do have a few complaints. For example, much of the game is very repetitive, and the normal difficulty mostly is not difficult at all. The main way of gathering experience is by eating food, which is a bit weird to me. It works however so realistically speaking it isn’t bad, just odd for me to rely on eating food. You do get experience from enemies but not much so you rely on gathering ingredients and gold to eat.

Aside from all that, the story is the real selling point here and it is magnificent. This is one of those games RPG fans really need to check out, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Nautical Life (Mobile)

Nautical Life on Mobile is a cute game about buying a yacht, traveling the world and fishing. The graphics are nice, furnishing your ship is fun and gathering a fleet of fishing vessels to gather riches is kinda neat. There are some major flaws here, mainly in the fishing itself. The process itself isn’t bad, but from the very start you run into fish you would need to be very lucky to catch. The money you receive to buy a new rod is also slow to gather and can be frustrating. You, of course, can use premium currency to get an edge in this offline game, but really with so many games to choose from this one simply isn’t worth paying money into. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Blizzard Publically States New Diablo Products to be Revealed in 2019

Variety has reported that Blizzard has posted in their official forums that in 2019 they will reveal new Diablo products, tho they would rather show than tell and as such are waiting until things are a bit further along than they currently are. This seems pretty normal but many people feel it is nothing more than a PR stunt over the anger over Diablo Immortal that has many fans upset. Personally, I am interested in trying it, but we will see what the future brings. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Goosebumps: Horror Town (Mobile)

Goosebumps Horror Town is a mobile game quite similar to Family Guy the Quest for Stuff or The Simpsons Tapped out. You build a city based on the books and show. Each character has small activities they can do to gather coins and items to help level you up and unlock new buildings and unlock new characters. The story is, of course, made for the game and of course it rather nice for fans of the series. You can play the game entirely for free, tho to be honest many of the more notable characters, Slappy, for example, require premium currency. You get some of this playing the game of course but it does help to use real money.

The game also relies mainly on making you wait for actions to complete so you can use it as a nice way to waste some time, but all in all if you aren’t willing to spend some money to get a few of the classic characters you won’t ever get them and this sadly is the way for most mobile games like this. Fans of the series will enjoy it, but for most people, it is just kind of there. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Mo Amer: The Vagabond

As some of you may have noticed I have been back on my stand-up kick lately, so today I was checking out Mo Amer. I hadn’t seen him before or even really heard of him beyond seeing him as I scrolled pass on Netflix. The good news is, I am happy I decided to watch this. This Arab American Muslim uses his experiences to make people laugh in unexpected ways. Admittedly in today’s world, many people would see some of his jokes as inappropriate, for example, he talks about how his brother Omar decided to become a pilot or that he has a nephew named Osama and he can’t really use his name at Walmart and has to use fake names. Which he finds it unfair because all the terrorist attacks from white people haven’t forced people named Timothy to change their name.

Again obviously with context, these jokes make more sense, but if reading about this strikes a nerve with you, maybe you shouldn’t watch him. However, I enjoyed it including his story of going back to Kuwait, the country his family fled when he was 9 to do a comedy show for the troops. For me, it was a pretty cool perspective from a comedian. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Star Trek Fleet Command (Mobile)

Honestly, there isn’t a ton to say about this game, which saddens me. As a Trek fan, I was hoping for something special and fun, and it is a decent enough game. What it is tho is a free to play base building game with both PVE and PVP elements to it. It is also just like any other more or less pay to win. You can obviously grind out the materials and such to grow strong enough to play, but you will never compete with the people sinking money into the game,

The one thing I did like tho was while you are waiting for the inevitably longer and longer times to tick away you can use your ships to kill CPU enemy ships or eventually other human players. It was a pretty nice touch but it isn’t enough to really change it from just being more of the same. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Welcome to December

December First is here, this means a lot to me for a number of reasons. First, it is the last month of the 2nd year of Savior Gaming. Second, the 16th is my birthday and 3rd, and possibly most importantly baby savior is finally old enough to really be fun in the winter.

Anyway this month I am going to try to review some Christmas movies, play some games and all around just enjoy the month. So sit back, have a merry Christmas, happy Hannukah or whatever holiday you celebrate and just enjoy the month. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
