(AfroGamers.com) For years, FromSoftware built its whole reputation on suffering by yourself. You against the world. You against some horror the size of a cathedral, dying over and over, learning every twitch and tell until you finally, finally got it. Solitude was the point. Those Souls games whispered a cruel ...
(AfroGamers.com) I been gaming long enough to remember exactly where I was when the first trailer dropped. Phone buzzing, group chat losing its entire mind, somebody’s cousin already screen recording so they could slow it down frame by frame. And then that flamingo. That sunrise over the water. That voice. ...
(AfroGamers.com) For a couple of months, I got back into Warframe, a third-person shooter from Digital Extremes. The game came out in early 2013, over a year before Bungie released the first Destiny game. I mention Destiny because Warframe comes off as something of a third-person version of Destiny—which is kind of inaccurate because Warframe came first but it’s definitely not ...
(AfroGamers.com) I recently watched some videos about the development process of the PS3-era title Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and was really impressed by the work that went into the game. For those who never experienced it or played the game when it ended on storefronts, Kingdoms of Amalur was an ...
(AfroGamers.com) In April 2009, Little King’s Story dropped on the Nintendo Wii. It would hit the U.S that summer and went on to be showered with praise for it’s approach of low intensity real-time strategy gameplay and visual style reminiscent of Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon. Mind you, RTS ...
(AfroGamers.com) So, Grand Theft Auto VI drops next year and I’ve been thinking of the double spin-offs and one particular expansion. We’re getting into the time machine and checking out some extra GTA titles that you may have played or forgotten about. GTA: London 1969 (1999) This was a fun ...
(AfroGamers.com) EverQuest is one of Sony’s longest-running franchises and pretty much the only one that has always been active. It’s an older MMORPG meaning it’s a truly living game. As long as enough of a player base exists, so will it. Currently, EverQuest (1999) and EverQuest II (2004) are still ...
(AfroGamers.com) The year was 2020 and one of the games I wasn’t paying attention to was Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater. I remember seeing Maneater on the PSN and not being particularly interested in playing an action game featuring a shark. I didn’t even think it was about hunting the shark, just ...
(AfroGamers.com) We’ve touched on the Harvest Moon games while getting into Stardew Valley and it got me to thinking about a game developed by Natsume Inc. in the late 1990s: Legend of the River King. It’s the fourth in the franchise and is unique in that it’s a fishing RPG. ...
(AfroGamers.com) ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley is an open-ended RPG and farming sim. However, it could be considered a life sim. I tend to call it a “chill game” and I’ve heard “cozy game” used. I’d say those are fitting because even the combat for the most part isn’t intense but it ...
