Before I sat down to play Firewatch, I have watched more than enough trailers for this game, and all of them intrigued me to try it out. Besides that, the very beginning of the game had caught me by surprise in a completely positive way, since I really didn’t expect such an intro to the story. The intro itself was quite enough for me to rate this game a 10 (even if it didn’t have much to do with the video game as it did with an animated movie), but we can’t allow ourselves to be swayed by emotions and I decided to sleep on it. We take on the role of Henry, a man in late thirties, who needs to get away from life…

REVIEW: The Witness

Oh, those puzzle games… You know, one can state themselves to be a fan of puzzle games, have dozens of fully explored titles with every secret unlocked, an open mind towards new solutions and approach to puzzle solving, and yet remain baffled after half an hour spent playing The Witness. The creator of the cult game Braid, Jonathan Blow, made a great effort to exceed all expectations from anyone who anticipated his next creation. And he succeeded. Even if it’s a puzzle game at its core, The Witness is so much more. The first thing you’re bound to notice after starting The Witness is the simplicity of puzzles before you. Almost all puzzles in the game follow the same pattern – you draw out a…

REVIEW: Far Cry Primal

Let’s go back through time, say 12 thousand years ago, when mammoths roamed our planet, and our ancestor’s every day was a fight for survival. Sounds like a cool premise for a first-person survival game? Well, Ubisoft beat you to it, because Far Cry Primal is exactly that – a game set in the Mesolithic period of Earth’s history where three human tribes wage war in an already inhospitable environment. You take on the role of Takar, a member of the Wenja tribe, and an experienced mammoth hunter. During one such hunt, your group is assailed by a giant saber-toothed tiger and you barely escape with your life after falling off a cliff. While wandering through the Oros valley, Takar finds out that the other…

REVIEW: Steel Series Siberia 200

Game News Hardware
0 7499

Steelseries Siberia has generally been considered to be one of the most popular gaming headsets for a number of years now and recently they’ve received an update. We were already familiar with the Siberia V3 and were quite pleased with the headset, but we had a small remark that they were more expensive than the V2 which they were replacing. Now with the 200 model – a sort of a rebranded V3 – we go back to a bit more affordable pricing while keeping almost all of the most important characteristics.   What is the same? Siberia 200 visually resembles the V3, and even more so the V2, which is by no means a bad thing, because those were the headphones that became gaming legends.…

REVIEW: Street Fighter V

How do you do, Ken? Many years before gaming centers, multi-million dollar tournaments and even the term eSports, we have competed on arcade machines at their namesake Arcade rooms. There was a king among all of those machines, Street Fighter 2, a game used to settle many a feud, a game which ate up all of our lunch money. Who would have thought that it’s been more than two decades since then? Times have changed, games have come and gone, but Street Fighter always somehow endured through many revisions and expansions, until finally we have before us a brand new SF with the number 5 In its title. The new Street Fighter is based on the same principles from the last three decades of franchise’s…

We have to disappoint you from the onset – this isn’t the 3rd season of their episodic TWD series, but its first spin-off. But still in that distinct TellTale style. The Walking Dead: Michonne will be a three-episode mini-series based on the comic book series, as was the case with Seasons 1 and 2. Its timeframe fits between episodes 126 and 139 and follows the story of Michonne who in the comic books mysteriously disappeared at that time. The first episode named “In too deep” shows the titular heroine on the ship “The Companion”. Of course, something goes awry when the ship receives a distress signal from the Monroe colony. This game series starts on February 23. and will continue in March with the episode…

It seems that Microsoft’s announcement of greater support to PC gaming is finally becoming a reality. Quantum Break, one of the great Xbox One exclusives, won’t be so exclusive any more – it will get a PC release as well. The rumors about a PC version of this action adventure from studio Remedy started circulating in late January, when a Brazilian rating agency added this game to it’s list. The rumors were just confirmed by Microsoft when they announced that all pre-orders of the Xbox release will gain access code for the PC version too. Also, by digitally pre-ordering they will receive studio Remedy’s previous game – Alan Wake, along with all of its DLCs, although this other bonus is for Xbox only. So far…

The decision for Hitman to become an episodic game didn’t fare well with the gaming community, but despite that IO Interactive and Square Enix remained adamant about their decision to divide the game into a series of episodes which we’ll get to play over the year. The first among them, Intro Pack, as it’s called, gets released in March and can already be bought for 13€, and will contain the prologue and a mission in Paris. Successive episodes will cost 10€ each, while the package containing the whole game will have the regular price of 50€. The studio has just revealed the hardware requirements of the game. The minimum requirements were as expected, while the recommended are surprisingly modest for a game released in 2016.…

Slavs are coming to Total War: Attila

Throughout all of the periods which the Total War series featured so far, our Slavic ancestors were always left out, whether by accident or on purpose. Of course, there were mods with which enthusiasts have added the Slavs to this popular series, but Creative Assembly has never officially added them to a game. Until now. Namely, after the “Make War not Love” competition that’s taking place from February 14th until February 20th, the studio will be adding the Slavs as a new faction in Total War: Attila. The Slavs will feature three subgroups – the Anteans, the Sclavenians and the Venedians, and will be available in all game modes. The catch is that this DLC will be free only if Total War wins the said…

25 Years of Blizzard

Former Silicon & Synapse, and now known as Blizzard, has just celebrated their 25th birthday. Founded by three friends on February 8th 1991, the studio has defined the video game industry throughout its existence by constantly setting new standards. Their grand journey began with Lost Vikings and Blackthorne, and in 1994 they released a game that’s most responsible for their claim to fame – Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. Even today, we mostly know Blizzard for their Warcraft games, but no less important are their Starcraft and Diablo franchises. Blizzard has changed throughout the years – they have successfully entered and then dominated the MMO market, and with Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm they’re more than successful in their new free-to-play forays. Today, Blizzard is…
