GamingBolt - TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 Review - The Final Verdict
Added 65 Views / 0 LikesYou’ll absolutely feel the punch of speed a superbike will grant you in this virtual high-speed affair just as hard as you’ll feel the pain of consistently eating the pavement at every turn. This visceral and dicey racing gauntlet absolutely demonstrates why the real-world event is known for being so remarkably dangerous in the realm of motorsports. But a little bit of grit and patience may unlock the true potential of TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge

GamingBolt - Two Years Later, IS THE PS5 WORTH IT?
Added 62 Views / 0 Likes12th November just gone marks two years since PlayStation 5’s release. Sony’s ninth generation console is arguably at its highpoint, with the just-released, generation-defining God of War Ragnarök receiving rapturous acclaim as a technical showpiece, the title now expected to spearhead a slew of high profile first-party exclusives coming in 2023. With the PlayStation 5 finally starting to fulfil its promise, the future looks bright following the syste

GamingBolt - TWO YEARS LATER, Is The Xbox Series X | S Worth It?
Added 65 Views / 0 LikesSo, we’ve just passed two years since Microsoft’s fourth generation home console was released, and like Sony’s PlayStation 5, the triumphant reception of new console release was instead hampered by stock shortages and scammers. But, contrary to Sony’s beleaguered PS5 launch, Microsoft’s new generation has been a little easier for gamers to get their hands on. The smaller, less powerful, but most importantly, significantly cheaper Xbox Series S has bee

GamingBolt - Uncharted 5 - 10 Things WE WANT TO SEE
Added 83 Views / 0 LikesUncharted may not have had any new releases for half a decade at this point, but it goes without saying that it remains one of the biggest and most important franchises for both Naughty Dog and Sony. And even though the series reached a bit of a natural stopping point with Lost Legacy, there's little doubt in anyone's mind that there will be more new Uncharted games down the line. With Sony having established a new AAA first party development studio t

GamingBolt - Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection PC Review - The Final Verdict
Added 68 Views / 0 LikesUncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PC is a phenomenal way to play both Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: Lost Legacy. Both games have been fantastically optimized to run on PC. On whether you’ll actually want to play the games, the fantastic interpersonal character writing that has essentially propelled Naughty Dog to the status it enjoys these days is at full display here. Despite combat that’s middling at best, these games are incred

GamingBolt - Valheim On Xbox Series X | S - 15 Things To Know BEFORE YOU BUY
Added 69 Views / 0 LikesAs soon as it launched for PC in early access a little over two years ago, Valheim became an instant phenomenon, almost overnight. Iron Gate Studio's survival title has been held up as one of the best games the genre has seen in recent years, and has continued to go from strength to strength in the time since its launch. And while there's no word yet on when the game will launch in full, it will be hitting a pretty major milestone soon nonetheless, wi

GamingBolt - Valheim Xbox Series X Early Access Review
Added 63 Views / 0 LikesIf you didn’t like Valheim on PC, the Xbox console port is unlikely to change your mind. However, if you’ve never experienced the game and you have access to an Xbox but not a PC, this version of Valheim is definitely worth checking out. It has feature and content parity with the PC version, crossplay support, and the unparalleled sense of adventure and discovery that the original game has. Both versions are also still in Early Access, so they will be

GamingBolt - What Made Far Cry 2 One Hell of A Game?
Added 68 Views / 0 LikesFar Cry 2 is an aura. Its gargantuan 50km-wide open world, encompassing verdant savannah and humid jungle, presents itself as intoxicating haze; a death trap; a hostile land unto itself in which your silent mercenary protagonist roams, descending into madness, killing, and death. The game’s premise is signposted: enter the indefinite East African landmass and survive its brutal civil war long enough to complete your sole objective, eliminating a promi

It announced a release date for The Last Guardian, which debuted at E3 2009; unveiled Kojima Productions' next big game in Death Stranding; and even debuted Insomniac Game's upcoming Spider-Man title. But the event was perhaps most notable for Santa Monica Studio's next game. It started with an orchestral performance, then transitioned to a young boy playing with figures and eventually showcased a familiar

Added 72 Views / 0 LikesSomething clearly changed in Huey. His former idealist outlook disappeared – one of using intellect to prevent the heinous acts from repeating, and of safeguarding a future free of nuclear weaponry. In its place was self-service. Yes, his acts were extremely unethical, reprehensible, and permanently unforgiveable. There’re zero excuses, but, perhaps his consistent portrayal of worthlessness and disposability by those who took advantage of him is as mu

Added 62 Views / 0 LikesThe Need for Speed franchise has had its fair shares of ups and downs over the years, but during the mid-2000s, it was perhaps at the peak of its powers. The racing series saw the release of a number of excellent instalments, many of which can legitimately be called some of the best racers of their era, if not of all time- and one in particular that holds a special place in the hearts of those who played it to this day is 2005's Most Wanted.

GamingBolt - What Made Resident Evil Revelations One Hell of A Game?
Added 70 Views / 0 LikesComing back to the original question, what made Resident Evil: Revelations one hell of a game? It’s pretty hard to pin down exactly since the answer would most likely depend upon what you value most in a Resident Evil game - the story, the gameplay, the scares, or the boss fights - or perhaps the portable nature of this experience. But I think the most interesting thing about the game has to be the sweet middle ground that the game manages to reach; c

Added 60 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

Added 88 Views / 0 LikesRemedy should be applauded for their ambition in Quantum Break. It’s a shame all that was good about the game was marred by narrative and structural choices; every element stuffed into the game diluting each other. Is there scope for a sequel? In fact, is there even an appetite for it? Who knows? For now, it appears any notion of a Quantum Break sequel is firmly on the side-lines, what with Remedy’s other projects in the works.

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

Not the game, mind you, which is a good remake of one of the greatest titles ever made. It's the quality of the PC port, which drew a “Mostly Negative” review score on Steam at launch. Though it's since changed to “Mixed”, only 45 percent of user reviews are positive. Where do you even begin with the issues? Crashes, shader compilation that could take 40 mi

If, however, FF16 can make good on all of the lofty promises it has made so far – and it sure looks like it may do just that – then surely it's going to be worth the long wa
