In the world of gaming, the sport of golf has occupied a rather unique space. There are often two main types of golf games, generally: those focused on a realistic, accurate depiction of the sport as it is played in real life, and the fanciful versions that journey into the world of magical realism. It’s…
It’s really hard to approach Nioh without talking about From Software’s Souls franchise’s influence on modern videogame design. Nowadays, practically every game to come out with action RPG elements is invariably compared to Souls. While From Software’s groundbreaking work is undeniable, it’s worth pulling the break and look at games for their own merits. Nioh…
Rive doesn’t know when enough is enough. It seeks to create a challenging shooter that evokes the classics (such as R-Type and Bangai-O, if some of the game’s dialog is any indication), attempting to recreate the frantic, bombastic action of those games. And it certainly does – quite well, I might add – but it…
There’s something to playing Monster Hunter that no other game provides. I’ve been hunting since Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, and I still haven’t been able to pin just what exactly makes the series so special. Maybe it’s the amount of things you get to do at any given time, with ample opportunities to get…
At this point, you know if you like South Park or not. The controversial franchise has been around for nearly twenty years, and has since its inception spawned a number of products besides the popular TV show, including videogames. The latest one, South Park: The Stick of Truth was a huge hit, and thus, we’re…
Virtual reality is finally starting to become a reality. It’s been a dream since gaming began to step into these worlds for ourselves and get our hands dirty slaying some Octoroks, or shooting some aliens. A distant one until Oculus came onto the scene, followed by many competitors like the Vive. However, the price point…
Supergiant Games has built an interesting collection of work. First they began with a traditional action role-playing game in Bastion, then a strategy/action game hybrid in Transistor, and now a role-playing game/sports hybrid with Pyre. You can never tell what they’re gonna make next, but if there’s one thing you can count on, it’s that…
Franz Kafka. You’ve probably heard the name before at the very least, even if you haven’t read any of his works. Kafka is regarded today as one of the most influential writers of the 20th Century, writing a large collection of short stories alongside several novellas such as The Metamorphosis and The Trial. Kafka’s writing…
Reviewing a game like The Witcher 3 is more than just sitting down, playing a game and then writing about its ifs, whats, buts, and whys. Coming in as a fan of both the original game in a limited capacity and having considered Assassin of Kings, the previous entry in the series, one of my…
Bloodborne is such a huge game for Entertainium that we couldn’t just review it as we would normally do it. Callum and Eduardo are die hard fans of the ‘Souls series, and what better reason is there to do a co-op review than to have a look at From Software’s latest? There isn’t. Prepare for…
