GamingBolt - Strayed Lights Review - The Final Verdict
Added 57 Views / 0 LikesLike I mentioned at the beginning of this feature, these factors come together to make Strayed Lights a bland experience. And that’s one of the worst places to be for any entertainment product. It doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, and it doesn’t do anything exceptionally bad either. 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

GamingBolt - Xbox Has Forgotten What Matters Most...The GAMES
Added 56 Views / 0 LikesIn the coming months and years, Xbox will have to go through a period of self reflection and rebuilding, and I imagine they will have to decide how best to proceed in the market from here on out. I wish them all the luck (because I really do want them to do well), but they need to understand the centrality of games to this whole exercise - games need to be at the center of everything they do, and they need to design what informs and guides their engag

But every so often, it happens that a highly anticipated exclusive fails to fulfill its lofty promises, and what we get are games that are complete disasters. In

Added 55 Views / 0 LikesGollum might be one of the most popular and recognizable characters in The Lord of the Rings, but you wouldn't think many developers would think of building an entire game with him as the playable protagonist. Daedalic Entertainment's The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is promising exactly that, and owing to that premise, it has piqued the curiosity of quite a few people- fans of Middle-earth in particular.

GamingBolt - 15 Scary Levels That Will Give You NIGHTMARES FOR DAYS
Added 55 Views / 0 LikesWe all love a good horror level; there’s just something special about a fictional place that just unsettles you to the bone and gets your heart pumping in anticipation of the unknown.

BIOMUTANT PS5 Review - Still Mediocre?
Added 53 Views / 0 LikesReleased in a questionable state originally, this version of Biomutant seems pretty serious about making up for that as much as it can. Aside from redesigning it’s core mechanics and general gameplay, this is about the most that could have been done to resuscitate Biomutant’s credibility and long-term reputation. It’s a reasonably good game that will give die-hard looters and customizers plenty to do if the game clicks with them, but overall, it’s sti

GamingBolt - 10 Games That NEED Story DLC But Will Never Get One
Added 53 Views / 0 LikesPlenty of narrative-focused games leave players with a sense of wanting more, either via their success in delivering a visceral world which gamers yearn to get more lost in, or maybe by their stories feeling incomplete in some way. Many of the games in this rundown feature deliberately open-ended conclusions; of course, not every loose narrative thread needs to be tied up, but it’s still fun to imagine what shape story DLC would take if it were indeed

Whilst The Coalition haven’t officially confirmed anything just yet, it was well known they were at one stage working on a new IP in Unreal Engine 5.

GamingBolt - 10 Games From The 1990s That Need To Be Remade
Added 42 Views / 0 LikesThere will clearly always be great demand for video game remakes, because developers and publishers don't seem to run out of games to remake. Obviously, given how reliant on technology games are as a medium, there's always new improvements and enhancements that you can apply to older titles that were constrained by the technology of the time. The 1990s, for instance, seem incredibly far away based on the kinds of games we used to play back then, and t
