GamingBolt - Why Kuze From Yakuza 0 Is One of the Coolest Villains In Video Games
Added 63 Views / 0 LikesOf the Dojima Family’s three lieutenants, Daisaku Kuze is arguably the most interesting. His thuggish nature could easily be misconstrued as oafish, but beneath the surface Kuze is a complex man shaped by violence. His worldview – that life is a constant struggle through perpetual combat – fuels his dogged determination and resilience. In his eyes, the true mark of a man is how well they face up to adversity, with the most respectable characters being

GamingBolt - 15 WORST GAMES of 2022
Added 65 Views / 0 LikesNo matter how many brilliant games release each year, there are bound to be a few stinkers. It could be a super-hyped title that failed to meet expectations, a decent concept that severely botches the execution, or something so awful that it warrants a mention and not much else. Whatever the case may be, it's worth highlighting them, if only to remember everything that went wrong. Let's look at 15 of the worst games released in 2022.

Added 74 Views / 0 LikesThe Callisto Protocol is now available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC and has garnered mixed reactions thus far. The PC version had major stuttering issues at launch, and even with the recent patch, there are still crashes and other problems. The Xbox Series X/S version also has problems though PS5 reportedly runs like a dream. Of course, you could argue for or against several things – whether it's the encounter design, enemy types, c

GamingBolt - What The HELL Is Going On With The Microsoft-Activision Acquisition Deal?
Added 62 Views / 0 LikesIn January of this year, Microsoft announced that it would be acquiring Activision Blizzard in a deal worth nearly $69 billion, though as the months have passed by, the proposed acquisition has run into a number of hurdles. Of course, any acquisition – especially one of this magnitude – has to jump through all the necessary regulatory hoops before it can be finalized, but as the last few months (and especially the last few days) have made abundantly c

GamingBolt - Far Cry 6 Lost Between Worlds DLC Review - The Final Verdict
Added 60 Views / 0 LikesWith Far Cry 6: Lost Between Worlds, it looks like the developer has been trying to make Far Cry 6 the kind of game you could repeatedly come back to. However, rather than any real compelling gameplay to keep you coming back - the PvP and raids from Destiny 2, for example - the studio seems to be more interested in throwing ideas out there regardless of whether they’re half-baked. Lost Between Worlds certainly has a few interesting ideas, but they def

GamingBolt - The Callisto Protocol Review - One of the Biggest Disappointments of the Year
Added 72 Views / 0 LikesI've been very critical of The Callisto Protocol in this review, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with the game. It's straightforward, brutal, and frequently fun, it looks absolutely stunning, and its atmospheric sci-fi setting is not without its merits, especially if you're a fan of something like Dead Space. Even so, this isn't the game that so many of us wanted it to be. It's rarely scary in any real way, its design its too focused and

GamingBolt - 15 Great Games With ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC BOX ARTS
Added 62 Views / 0 LikesVideo game artwork is a means to grab attention. It’s designed to catch the eyes, on the shelves and in digital storefront. Ideally, good box art should convey a sense of what it’s like to play the game too, although, there’re plenty of times in history when video game box art appears to have received so little time, care, or attention that it’s eye-catching for all the wrong reasons.

GamingBolt - What Made The Witcher 3 An All Time Classic?
Added 62 Views / 0 LikesIn so many ways, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt dictated how an open-world action RPG should be made. Sure, it wasn’t the perfect game and so many of its aspects ranging from exploration to traversal and combat could have used some more polish. But in the face of what it does right, these are but minor complaints that don’t hold all that much meaning when you look at the grand picture. Most importantly, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains a bold example of

It looks sharp, the combat is a lot of fun, and the story, for all of its issues, has its bright spots, especially if you're invested in the Final Fantasy 7 universe.

GamingBolt - What The Hell Happened To The Callisto Protocol?
Added 74 Views / 0 LikesBy now, you may have heard about The Callisto Protocol in some capacity. Before launch, it was hyped as the next big sci-fi survival horror by the team behind the game. Striking Distance Studios is acclaimed for having several Dead Space veterans on the staff. Plus, the game launched before Motive Studio's remake of Dead Space. All this dead space is ironic with how much The Callisto Protocol takes place planetside, but I digress. You may have also he

GamingBolt - Gundam Evolution PS5 Review - The Final Verdict
Added 66 Views / 0 LikesGundam Evolution might have shamelessly lifted some of its presentation and mechanics from other games (and I think it did), but it’s still a great game at the end of the day. All of the combat feels fun and well-balanced, and the way the Mobile Suit’s abilities work in the heat of battle only add to the excitement. There is some eye-rolling at the game’s monetization, and Guntank’s slipperiness should be fixed, but overall, it’s a well-made, entirely

A combat system that adds new tools and skills to Kratos’ already bursting moveset and abilities, a well-written story that manages to be both character-driven and plot-driven simultaneously, and jaw-dropping visual spectacle are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to

Added 63 Views / 0 LikesNeed for Speed Unbound is a curious game. After several years of bland, often bad games, Need for Speed Unbound feels like a breath of fresh air. While it’s far from the most perfect racing game out there, it’s definitely filling an important niche, and it’s doing so with a hefty amount of style. Need for Speed Unbound looks great, is a lot of fun to play, and most importantly, leaves me feeling quite good about the future of the Need for Speed franch

EA’s racing franchise hasn’t had the best of times over the last few years (even though 2019’s Heat was a decent racer in its own right), but by all accounts, it seems like Unbound is a welcome return to form for NFS. Many players have jumped into the driver seat to race through the streets of Lakeshore City, and if you,

Added 63 Views / 0 LikesSince 2005, when God of War first made its debut on the PS2, right up till now, with God of War Ragnarok on the PS5 and PS4, the series has had a knack for interpreting its mythological inspirations in very interesting ways. This was, of course, true for the Greek era games as well, but God of War (2018) in particular was widely lauded for the ingenious spin it often put on so many of the Norse myths it interpreted, from the death of Baldur being caus

It just has to fix a few key issues. While some problems, like the plot and voice acting, can’t really be solved with patches, others, like having better, bigger maps to fight in, more characters, and more cards, would definitely make the game much more appealing.
