Du Lac and Fey: Dance Of Death XSX Review 2/10 "Half-Arsed?" 🔎 @SalixGames #IndieGames #GameDev

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

The Collins English dictionary describes "half-arsed" as:

"ADJECTIVE
slang
incompetent; inept; badly organized"

And that's the main takeaway from this game. Let's get the praise part of this review out of the way. Don't worry, it won't take long. 

Du Lac and Fey: Dance Of Death has some nice writing and some really good voice acting. There. I told you it would be quick.

Terror of Hemasaurus XSX Review 9/10 "The Best Rampage Game Ever Made" 🏨🦖 @LorenLemcke @ShawnDaley #IndieGame #GameDev

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

I am very much a lover of monster movies and games, and to me, Midway’s Rampage series of games always looked more fun than they actually played. It was a great concept, but it always felt let down by lacklustre gameplay, stiff controls and repetition. Luckily, Loren Lemcke is here to smash down those issues, and breathe fireballs all over those lesser games, standing proudly above the ruins, heaving a throaty roar of triumph into the night sky.

Risen Xbox Series X Review 7/10 "Risen Has Risen Again" 🏹 @Piranha_Bytes #GameDev #IndieGames

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

I originally played Risen back in 2010 on Xbox 360, it was a port that wasn’t particularly well-received at the time, but it came from a period of my life where I was hips deep into janky RPGs such as Boiling Point, Hard Truck Apocalypse, White Gold: War in Paradise and Precursors – so some dodgy controls, graphical glitches and ropey AI were par for the course for me at the time, and as such I had a lot of fun with Risen.

This re-release isn’t a re-master or remake – as the upcoming Gothic will be – but instead is a sort of lightly ‘touched-up’ version that adds full controller support, reduces – but doesn’t fully remove – loading times and has an improved UI. It does run at a mostly solid 60fps, which is a huge leap over the aforementioned Xbox 360 port, although probably level with the original PC version.

Twenty Years of The OneUps (Troggo Studio) Vinyl Review "Here’s to the next twenty years!" 💿 @TheOneUpsBand @Mustin #Vinyl #VideoGameVinyl #VGMvinyl

Share This Post On Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share This Post On

The third release that we’ve covered here at GF from Troggo Studio, following Lifestream and MES: Contigo en la Distancia Social – both great records – and this time around, the focus moves away from prog-rock VGM and mariachi to smooth jazz with space left for jam sessions and the occasional dip into more ambient work…which is absolutely, completely and utterly fine. These long, dark nights suit the genre of smooth jazz perfectly, and The OneUps really know how to roll. this was my first exposure to the group, a band that has been around – as the title of the album attests – for twenty years.

Having released many volumes on CD, this is the band’s first vinyl release and has been curated to showcase a track from each previously released CD volume, giving a year-on-year account of how the members and sound have evolved through the life of the band.
