(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) Destiny: Rising is a mobile first-person/third-person shooter from NetEase Games. It is a sequel to Bungie’s Destiny franchise and has seen a lot of action in its first few weeks out. Now, I’m not as hardcore a Destiny 2 player as my younger brother. As a matter of fact, ...
(AfroGamers.com) There are some video game titles that are worthy of remake or a reboot. What makes them worthy varies by studio and gamer. A studio could decide that a poorly received title deserves another shot because development technology and hardware have gotten better. Maybe the studio can get it ...

(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 ...
(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) Back in late 2022, 2K released Marvel’s Midnight Suns, a tactical RPG developed by Firaxis Games—best known for the XCOM and Civilization games. Now, this should’ve been an indication of how sales would likely go because of the kinds of games Firaxis puts out. Their titles have a very ...
(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 ...
