GamingBolt - God of War Ragnarok vs. Norse Mythology - How It's Similar, How It's Different
Added 63 Views / 0 LikesSince 2005, when God of War first made its debut on the PS2, right up till now, with God of War Ragnarok on the PS5 and PS4, the series has had a knack for interpreting its mythological inspirations in very interesting ways. This was, of course, true for the Greek era games as well, but God of War (2018) in particular was widely lauded for the ingenious spin it often put on so many of the Norse myths it interpreted, from the death of Baldur being caus

GamingBolt - God of War Ragnarok: Best Armor, Attachments, Enchantments, Skills And More
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 - Gotham Knights PC Graphics Tech Review - Comparison With Batman Arkham Knight, A Visual Showcase?
Added 77 Views / 0 LikesGotham Knights is a beautiful-looking game with many strong suits, and on a high end PC hardware, it will likely blow you away with its vistas. However, the game still runs on Unreal Engine 4 and it’s not something that hasn’t been done before. Part of that could be the developer’s insistence on sticking to Unreal Engine 4 instead of shifting to the newer UE5, but either way - there’s a constant feeling that it could have been so much better since the

GamingBolt - Gotham Knights Review - The Final Verdict
Added 74 Views / 0 LikesGotham Knights won't blow you away, that much is for sure. Perhaps it's the unfortunate for the game that it can't possibly avoid comparisons to the Arkham series, because though it's very much trying to do its own thing, there are still comparisons to be made, and most of them aren't exactly in Gotham Knights' favour. At the same time, the fact that it wants to be a modern open world RPG means there are issues with the gameplay as well. But for anyon

GamingBolt - Gotham Knights’ Ending Explained And How It Sets up A Sequel/ Future Content
Added 75 Views / 0 LikesGotham Knights is finally available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, after being revealed in August 2020 and suffering some delays. The critical reception is above-average overall, and whether comparisons to the Batman Arkham series are warranted, this isn't a follow-up in terms of story. Yes, despite Bruce Wayne seemingly sacrificing himself at the end of Arkham Knight, which would have been a perfect segue. Instead, Gotham Knights takes place in a c

GamingBolt - Gundam Evolution PS5 Review - The Final Verdict
Added 66 Views / 0 LikesGundam Evolution might have shamelessly lifted some of its presentation and mechanics from other games (and I think it did), but it’s still a great game at the end of the day. All of the combat feels fun and well-balanced, and the way the Mobile Suit’s abilities work in the heat of battle only add to the excitement. There is some eye-rolling at the game’s monetization, and Guntank’s slipperiness should be fixed, but overall, it’s a well-made, entirely

GamingBolt - Gunfire Reborn Review - The Final Verdict
Added 60 Views / 0 LikesGunfire Reborn tries to do a lot of things, and while it doesn’t do anything incredibly well, it’s fun enough to provide a bit of entertainment along the way. The gunplay gets a little stale and inconsistent after a while, and the roguelike structure doesn’t reach its full potential due to the extreme similarities between each run. At the same time, while it can be frustrating to die without warning, there’s a lot of fun to be had. If you have a group

GamingBolt - Gungrave G.O.R.E Review - Super Underwhelming
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

GamingBolt - Harvestella Review - The Final Verdict
Added 79 Views / 0 LikesThe easiest way to describe Harvestella is as a classic example of an unpolished yet enjoyable AA game, of which we've seen quite a few in recent months, from The DioField Chronicle to Valkyrie Elysium. It's rough around the edges, it doesn't shake up any formulas, and it doesn't ever come close to setting any new standards in its genre, but it's not an unenjoyable game. In trying to be both a farming sim and an action RPG, it ends up failing to make

Added 73 Views / 0 LikesHello Neighbor by developers Dynamic Pixels and Eerie Guest Studios is an odd game. It had several alpha versions that received significant praise. However, when it launched in 2017 for PC, critics and players panned it for its controls, bugs, confusing story, overall gameplay, and so on. Now, several years, a prequel, and two multiplayer spin-offs later, Eerie Guest and tinyBuild are releasing a new standalone sequel in Hello Neighbor 2. Players retu

GamingBolt - Hello Neighbor 2 Review - The Final Verdict
Added 72 Views / 0 LikesI really wanted to like Hello Neighbor 2. The world and story are gripping and enthralling, and the puzzle/chase gameplay is fun (when it works). I can see why the series has become so wildly popular. But the things that either don’t work or otherwise get in the way of the experience really got me down. Maybe the inevitable Hello Neighbor 3 will get it right.
