GamingBolt - 15 Beginners Tips And Tricks Pokémon Scarlet And Violet DOESN'T TELL YOU
Added 69 Views / 0 LikesPokemon Scarlet/Violet are massive games. I mean even for Pokemon, a franchise known for inundating players with excess, these games go above and beyond. Featuring a massive open world map, populated with hundreds of Pokemon to encounter and catch, three separate main campaigns to follow (each with multiple chapters), a smattering of different biomes and maps, items to find and craft, and dozens of intermeshing systems and mechanics coming together to

Added 65 Views / 0 LikesGod of War Ragnarök is out now, with Kratos and Atreus journeying through the Nine Realms of Norse mythos battling ever-larger mythical beasts in a superbly refined combat-action adventure. Each realm is stuffed with collectible items – armor and weapon augmentations, new skills, special moves, and summons. With so much on offer it’s tricky to know which collectibles to equip, so we’ve distilled the 100s or so collectible items down to a handful of th

GamingBolt - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Review - A Noticeable Lack of Polish
Added 62 Views / 0 LikesIf you are able to look past how janky and buggy they are – and I know many, if not most, players will eventually be able to do that – then what awaits here is an incredible adventure that represents some of this franchise’s strongest moments yet. But the fact that that brilliance is buried under a literal mountain of crap is heartbreaking and infuriating. What should have been a victory lap, a triumphant return to form and glory for Pokemon, is there

GamingBolt - 6 BIG Questions God of War Ragnarok Still DOESN'T ANSWER
Added 68 Views / 0 LikesGod of War Ragnarok has wrapped up the series' Norse mythology saga, but it isn't as complete and thorough of an ending as some may have expected. Doors have been left open for future stories (perhaps of a smaller scale) to be told in this setting with this set of characters, but even beyond that, there are a few lingering questions from this game and from the last that still remain unanswered- some big, others relatively minor. Here, we're going to t

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 - God of War Ragnarok Ending Explained, How It Sets Up Potential DLC And The Next Game
Added 79 Views / 0 LikesGod of War Ragnarok took on the complicated task of satisfactorily finishing off the series' current saga much earlier than many would have guessed (especially given the fact that we got six games in the series' previous saga), but it's fair to say that, by and large, the game pulls it off rather well. Even so, this is far from the end of the series itself- there are, of course, going to be more God of War games, even if it might be a while before ano

GamingBolt - 15 Best God of War Ragnarok Side Quests YOU NEED TO EXPERIENCE
Added 63 Views / 0 LikesThe value of side quests in games has grown exponentially over the last decade or so, and we see games with excellent, engaging side content with great frequency now. Another game that has fallen right into that category is God of War Ragnarok, a game that, it's fair to say, knocks the ball out of the park where its optional content is concerned, both in terms of quality and quantity.

GamingBolt - Evil West Review - The Final Verdict
Added 65 Views / 0 LikesDo I recommend Evil West? Well, at this point, I suspect you already know if this is your type of game or not. If you're one of those gamers whose primary concern is the sheer amount of content per dollar, then maybe wait for a sale. That math doesn’t really work out in the game’s favor, and there’s not much replay value outside of a half-baked co-op mode that doesn’t let player 2 save their game, and a new game plus. Neither of which fundamentally ch

Added 65 Views / 0 LikesIt's a shame that Gungrave G.O.R.E has so much working against it. If not for the developers' misguided attempt at making a game that's too old school for its own good, it could have been a solid enough action experience in its own right, but unfortunately, there's just too much holding it back, and in ways that are far from easy to forgive. Whether its the bland story, the repetitive and straightforward gameplay, or some of its baffling design decisi

As is often the case with hugely popular story-driven franchises, theories were a dime a dozen about more than a few unresolved plot threads. Sure enough, some of those theories turned out to be accurate- but it's fair to say that in some of its biggest and most pivotal moments, God of War Ragnarok defie
