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 - The Callisto Protocol vs Dead Space - 7 BIGGEST DIFFERENCES
Added 71 Views / 0 LikesThe Callisto Protocol is here, and to say the least, it's divided opinion. Criticism of some mechanics and design decisions has been widespread, but at the same time, there's a sizeable chunk of the player base that's enjoying what the game has on offer. However, regardless of which side of that debate you fall on, one thing that's clear for everyone to see is how heavily it's inspired by Dead Space. That doesn't come as a surprise, of course, given t

Added 86 Views / 0 LikesNext month is fairly jam-packed in terms of releases, whether it's the eagerly-awaited Pokemon Scarlet and Violet or even Sonic Frontiers. However, if you're looking for a narrative horror title, that too on the double-A scale, then The Chant may be worth keeping an eye on. Developed by Brass Token and published by Prime Matter, it's out on November 3rd for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Let's take a look at ten things you should know before jumping in

GamingBolt - The Chant Review - The Final Verdict
Added 89 Views / 0 LikesThe Chant tries to do so many things at once, and what happens is that everything gets muddled up in that pursuit - and none of these elements get the love and opportunity to shine as bright as they could. In addition to this, an underdeveloped plot that doesn’t do justice with its heavy themes and otherwise well-written characters alongside an underwhelming visual presentation also contributes to the feeling of the game being a missed opportunity.

GamingBolt - The CRAZIEST SECTION In Resident Evil 4 Remake That Will Blow You Away
Added 67 Views / 0 LikesAs a sequence, the remake's underground mine section has it all: hordes of zombified locals capable of easily overwhelming underprepared players, memorable boss fights in the form of the El Gigante duo; action, explosions, desperation, claustrophobia, and an incredible mine cart ride. Before we proceed ahead, be aware. There are spoilers ahead. For real, the Remake’s mine cart ride is the most memorable and most exhilarating moment. It’s a joyous thri

GamingBolt - The Devil in Me Review - The Final Verdict
Added 88 Views / 0 LikesWhile some of The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me's characterizations feel a bit too flat to really make the cast pop, and the more extreme moments of the story didn’t quite work for me, it’s hard to deny that this Dark Pictures entry has more going for it than not. The new ideas it introduces into the formula might ultimately be too few and far between to totally make up for some of the lingering issues that have held back these games since

GamingBolt - The Entropy Centre PS5 Review - The Final Verdict
Added 60 Views / 0 LikesThe Entropy Center is a really well-made puzzle game that takes its main hook of reversing time, and casts a wide net of ideas surrounding that very theme - most if not all of which stick to the landing. The story is interesting with well-written characters, the puzzles are engaging with plenty of variety, and the developers constantly spice things up with chase sequences and other high-intensity moments. While the aforementioned shortcomings do leave

GamingBolt - The Fall and Rise of Dead Island 2
Added 72 Views / 0 LikesSadly, there have been and continue to be plenty of examples in the games industry of projects being in development hell, and until not that long ago, Dead Island 2 fell in that group. First announced nearly a decade ago, the game has gone through its fair share of behind the scenes issues (to say the very least), from multiple delays to changing developers and more. At long last, the game is now finally out, but even so, its history continues to intr

We got to give the beta a shot, and while there wasn’t TOO much content—it was just a beta after all—we did manage to get a good idea of the core game loop, the setup to its story, its setting, and a small taste of the endgame’s Void Intercept Battle system.

Added 67 Views / 0 LikesFor obvious reasons, Baldur isn't going to be around in the next game - after many trials and tribulations, Kratos and Atreus finally manage to kill him at the end of God of War (2018). But he is obviously going to continue to have a big role to play in the sequel's story, even if it's an indirect one, because it's his death that has kicked off Fimbulwinter, and in turn, Ragnarok.

Added 74 Views / 0 LikesDead Island: Riptide may have been positioned by Deep Silver and developers Techland as a standalone sequel to the original Dead Island, but though it wasn't a numerical follow up, from a narrative perspective, it very much felt that way. The upcoming Dead Island 2 is, of course, going to feature a new cast of characters and a new setting, which means it'll be quite divorced from its predecessors where its story is concerned, but there's plenty about

The two have been the faces of the fighting series for as long as it's been around, and when Street Fighter 6 comes around not long from now, we'll get to see where their story heads next.

Given the 2018 title's much more focused and intimate story, our protagonists don't cross paths with any of the Aesir- though there a

GamingBolt - The Full Story of Ryu - Before You Play Street Fighter 6
Added 67 Views / 0 LikesIf you haven't engaged with the Street Fighter series too much, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it might not have too much of a story to look into- it is, after all, a fighting series, and one that hasn't always made story its biggest priority. As series fans will gladly tell you though, that couldn't be further from the truth. There is a startling amount of narrative content packed into Street Fighter, and across multiple releases, it has built u

Added 84 Views / 0 LikesThe Last Oricru is not a game I would generally recommend. For every thing I really liked, there were at least two or three adjacent blunders making my eyes roll into the back of my skull. While the negatives and positives do end up mostly canceling each other out for me, I’m not going to sit here and say it’s a complete failure or does nothing well. But given that it exists in a sea of other similar games where it so often fails to keep its head abov

GamingBolt - The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure Review - The Final Verdict
Added 70 Views / 0 LikesThe Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is an excellent new addition to the franchise. Wonderfully closing off the story arc, Trails to Azure only really suffers from being a sequel to Trails from Zero, since you need to know quite a bit about that game before truly understanding the characters and their motivations in Trails to Azure. Aside from that and a few minor problems with pacing, however, Trails to Azure is a fantastic RPG, and is an incredibly
