DEATHLOOP Xbox Series X Review - The Final Verdict
Added 66 Views / 0 LikesDeathloop is still a very middling experience. If you're keen on a 20-hour-or-so action thriller with a unique style that provides a decent amount of freedom to play how you want, then it may be worth a look. However, the issues with its core gameplay and story-telling, not to mention the repetition, iffy pacing and unnecessary PvP mechanics, still weigh it down.

Deathverse: Let It Die Review - The Final Verdict
Added 72 Views / 0 LikesDeathverse: Let It Die is a solid game in this overcrowded market of battle royale games. SuperTrick has created a fairly decent combat system that strikes a good balance between accessibility and depth, and the gameplay loop is also enjoyable with varied levels allowing for different strategies. But everything surrounding that core gameplay loop - such as additional game modes and the ability to queue for certain maps are missing from the game at the

Everything You Need To Know About Cyberpunk 2077's Sequel, Witcher Games And CDPR's NEW IP
Added 67 Views / 0 LikesCyberpunk 2077, despite selling 20 million copies, has been close to a disaster for CDPR. The last gen versions were filled with bugs and embarrassing glitches, so much so that the developer had to make the upcoming expansion, Phantom Liberty a current gen exclusive. However, the developers have been hard at work, pushing patches and updating Cyberpunk 2077 whenever they can. Cyberpunk 2077, still largely remains an OK game on consoles but despite all

FIFA 23 Review - The Final Verdict

GamingBolt - 10 Amazing Games That Should Have Never Been Cross-Gen

Due to the close quarter nature of hack and slash, this combat type works really well within the realms of horror; especially gory, bloody, action horror games, where getting up close and per
