Dying Light stands out well among a sea of zombie games and is amazing in it’s own right. 2 has been delayed time and time again but finally the ball seems to be rolling and we have footage and a cool title. Suddenly I’m pretty pumped, ready to run, jump and kick some zombie ass once again. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Far Cry 6 gameplay trailer
Far Cry is a series I find myself regarding as a guilty pleasure, While formulaic and repetitive I can’t help but enjoy them. With 6, I’m glad to see the bigger action so far graphically it looks beautiful but will it stand out? May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Star Renegades Limited Edition Available for Pre-Order (PS4/Switch)
One of the newest games coming from my friends over at ININ games and Raw Fury you can pre-order Star Renegades physical limited and collectors edition over at Store / Pre-Order Link
Star Renegade is a rouge-lite strategy RPG where you are tossed into the middle of a war interplanetary war against The Imperium, a force that wants to rule the galaxy. The follow comes straight from the press release itself.
The game comes with a fast-paced, tactical, turn-based, timeline battle system that offers a variety of options and strategies to bring the opponents to their knees! The more the game progresses, the stronger the squad becomes. Players can unlock, trade and upgrade the rebels with tons of weapons, loot, and gear. But defeating the enemies will not be a piece of cake! Strategy and experimentation are required to beat the opponents and save the universe!
These moments of success will reward the player, as well as the beautiful look of the game.
Star Renegades features a pretty pixel style, the journey through the planets and the varied, challenging battles are accompanied by superior sound design and an awesome synth-wave composition.
- Fast-paced tactical turn-based timeline battle system
- Hauntingly beautiful landscapes and ruins
- Pretty pixel art style
- Procedurally generated dungeons
- Unique enemies and bosses
- Epic synth-wave compositions and excellent sound design
As you can see the game itself seems to have a lot of things to go through and replay value as the procedurally generated dungeons can usually make for a reason to dive back in for multiple play throughs. As a fan of rogue-lite and RPGs I am actually curious to see how this one turns out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Aliens: Fireteam reveal trailer
As a Alien fanboy, I bet you want me to be excited for this new game in the Aliens universe. Truth be told, I’m not. I wanted another horror game, not another action shooter. The graphics look fine but I’m not really impressed at the look of the Aliens. Maybe it will be good and slay those awful memories of that game we don’t speak of, but I’m not holding my breath. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Pepelogoo – Ashas blue friend
The theme of the new trailer is Pepelogoo, Asha’s trusted blue sidekick and one of the main characters. The trailer shows the two of them working together to overcome any obstacles.
Without their special friendship and interaction Asha wouldn’t get far with her adventure.
Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World contains puzzles and adventure elements that Asha and Pepelogoo can only solve together. Some paths seem blocked, but maybe a secret way will open up if Pepelogoo helps? A gap is too wide for jumping? Then Asha can hold on to Pepelogoo and he’ll fly her across it. As Pepelogoo is fond of extreme temperatures, he even stands by her side through the freezing cold and hot lava.
Any time Asha whistles, her loyal friend quickly comes flying, rushing to her rescue. Everyone should have a Pepelogoo in their life!
The legendary quest of two friends
Asha must free the four spirits being confined by evil forces whose origin she discovers throughout her journey. Luckily, she embarks on to this big adventure with her companion Pepelogoo.
While the story remains true to the original game from 1994, the game is a full remake of Monster World IV, with cell-shaded 3D graphics and 2D gameplay that stays close to the beloved original gameplay as well as enhanced visuals and refined play content.
