GamingBolt - Should Resident Evil Remake Be REMADE?
Added 65 Views / 0 LikesCapcom have been on something of a hot streak since 2017’s Resident Evil 7 rejuvenated the blueprint of their marquee survival horror franchise. In the remakes that followed – 2019’s critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3, – Capcom crafts distinctly reimagined experiences, noticeable immediately in a perspective shift from fixed camera angles to over-the-shoulder in RE2 and 3, but also in wholesale recontextualization of the game

GamingBolt - Silent Hill 2 Remake - Bloober Team DESERVES A CHANCE
Added 72 Views / 0 LikesSure, Silent Hill 2 Remake could all turn out to be bad for all it’s worth and those changes could bite the developer back on its own foot - but even at that absolute worst, we still have the original game to turn back to. The best case (one that we are hoping for) would mean that we now have a more accessible version of this classic that’s worth experiencing for fans of the franchise - so let’s all vouch for that very thing.

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

GamingBolt - So, About Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League...
Added 65 Views / 0 LikesIn case you missed it, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League had an extended gameplay showing at Sony's recent State of Play. We got to see the co-op and more of the combat, which I dubbed “a whole lot of jumping and shooting.” Coming from the developer behind the Batman: Arkham series, it was confusing at best and underwhelming at worst. Not only was this three months before its worldwide launch, but the last major news drop was that Kevin Conroy wo

It doesn't rewrite the rules so much as massively build upon, improve and expand on the formula in numerous ways. It offers a human story about home, family and moving on while presenting a likeable cast and memorable locations. Where the series goes from here is anyone's guess. I'm not just excited

Added 61 Views / 0 LikesStray Blade is a game that could have been something more. With additional polish, it could at least be more fun to play, ensuring smoother exploration and less problematic enemies. However, even if some of the design choices with the combat warrant some significant overhauls, you're still left with a fairly average story, above-average to decent exploration, and a nice-looking aesthetic. It just isn't worth dealing with, given all the other issues.

It’s a mediocre product that fails to do anything to keep you interested in what it has to say. The parry based combat is interesting in concept, but falters in the

The remake does an incredible job of bringing System Shock to a modern gaming audience, and while its slavish devotion to being as faithful as possible to the original might have some drawbacks—I still don’t like the maze-like layout of the game’s levels—it still does a great job of being the best way to experience System Shock.
