GamingBolt - Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward Review - The Final Verdict
Added 26 Views / 0 LikesProject Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a horrifying dip into the labyrinthine and haunted mind of a tortured soul. The journey will test your tolerance for frights as well as your patience for constant death. Still, the two-man development team at NC Studio built a horrific world that’d be rather immersive making it a supremely noteworthy indie title if it weren’t for the hurdles of overcoming impactful bugs.

GamingBolt - Bramble: The Mountain King Review - The Final Verdict
Added 33 Views / 0 Likesif you can set aside your expectations of a “game”, you might find Bramble: The Mountain King to be quite charming. It isn’t a particularly long game, and while it has a number of gameplay mechanics, none of them get particularly deep. I don’t think I’ll ever find myself revisiting Bramble: The Mountain King years down the line, however, since there really isn’t all that much to revisit.

GamingBolt - Dead Island 2 Ending Explained And How It Sets Up Dead Island 3
Added 38 Views / 0 LikesDead Island 2 was many things a good year ago – seemingly in development hell, nearly forgotten and even labelled vaporware. It may seem harsh, but it was announced in 2014, less than a year after the PS4 and Xbox One, and went from YAGER to Sumo Digital before finally landing at Dambuster. Other games with more resources have fared far worse. However, now it's available – and pretty good, though it has some issues, selling over a million copies in ju

GamingBolt - Strayed Lights Review - The Final Verdict
Added 28 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

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

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.
