Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk is the final in the trio of Otome, which are interactive fiction titles. Intragames and Idea factory finally got this one on steam, and you may remember my review of Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly (Steam) and this game will be quite similar. I have some screenshots for you to check out and you can find more over on the Steam Store. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

La-Mulana Hidden Treasures Edition is a new game announced by NIS America due out in 2020. This Castlevania style game has a pretty interesting art style and I really enjoyed the music from the trailer. (below) This isn’t my normal type of game, but I am sure many of you will enjoy it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
One of the free games on the PS4 this month, I figured I would check this one out. I have to say, I was not a fan. There wasn’t anything really wrong with it. Graphically it is a beautiful game, the sound is great and it controls beautifully. Each race feels different as does each vehicle. FLying around the track never felt like a chore at all, even tho I did notice seemingly tiny mistakes could be brutal on your finish.
For me, I just did not have fun with the experience. It felt pretty much like every other racing game I have ever played really. This isn’t a bad thing if you like racing games and are a big fan of them, but for a casual player of them like me, there was just no reason for me to play it over any of the other games I have.
I don’t say this to discourage anyone else from playing it. In fact, if you look up other reviews the game has many great ones, and I am not even bashing the game. From a technical standpoint, the game is solid. It is just for me personally, the game isn’t worth playing and I got it for free. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Disaster Report 4 is an interesting idea. Having never played the series I must say I am intrigued. Essentially after a disaster, you must escape the city with the help of other survivors you find along the way. But in this action-adventure game, every decision you make might not create a new friend, it could create an enemy. The latest trailer shows many of the actions and choices you will have to make as you decide if you are going it alone, are looking to get as much help as possible if you survive at all. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
For fans of the Mudrunner games, we now have Snow Runner and yes it is a sequel from Focus Home Interactive and Saber Interactive. This one is expected to be even bigger and grander than the first, with larger levels stunning visuals and a whole host of improvements. Enjoy the trailer below as well as some pictures, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Here is a game I thought would never happen, and it turns out it is coming out in the spring of 2020 on PC and sometime later in 2020 on Xbox One and PS4. Some of the things I’ve seen mentioned in their forums is the game being easier to mod, interstellar travel and the ability to make full-blown colonies that can eventually be launched from. There is still plenty of time and we haven’t seen any gameplay, but enjoy the trailer below and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
I have to give a shout out to my pal Speedy for the heads up on this one. While games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Borderlands: The Pre-sequel have a lot of space and futuristic stuff in them, Boundary looks to be like a standard FPS in the dead of space. Honestly this looks really cool and I see a lot of cool opportunities this game has for some insane Z-G gun fights and some cool multiplayer matches. I’m pretty pumped for it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
For those that may have missed it, the NHL 20 Open beta was this past weekend. It gave us a chance to check out the CHEL mode as well as the new NHL Ones mode. CHEL mode is still CHEL tho it has been improved. Fans of that won’t be disappointed. Threes has also made its return which made me happy. Ones tho is pretty cool, tho the name is a bit misleading. Threes is a 3v3 game so a person would thing ones is a 1v1 game. It is not, but that is a good thing.
Ones may be my favorite addition to the game because it forces you to become good at puck handling and taking advantage of your opponents’ mistakes. See you will pick one NHL star, and face off against two others in a 1v1v1 game. that’s right it’s a three-man free for all. The graphics and sound are also top notch as you would expect. All in all, if you are a hockey fan this open beta convinced me to say this one is worth buying even if you picked up NHL19 assuming you aren’t just a casual fan that plays a game here or there. If you happen to have an older version like 17 tho, now is certainly the time to get this one. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
The title says it all. The Obsidian Entertainment Pillars of Eternity that has already been ported to every other current-gen system will be coming to the Nintendo Switch, with all of its DLC and expansions. It is also worth noting its follow up, Pillars of Eternity 2 Deadfire is also heading to the Switch. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
