Fight, Collect, Upgrade - Minecraft Dungeons (game release)

The original game Minecraft has lots of aspects. You explore the world, fight dangerous creatures, collect materials, craft tools, and create various objects. Isn’t this too much for one game? What if we keep only explorations, fighting, and collecting? Then we won’t get Minecraft but a totally new game from the same universe - Minecraft Dungeons.

The game has been released in May 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Pinstripe - a dark journey, full of clever puzzles

Ted woke up on a weird train. His daughter Bo was there. And then, they met that guy. He sat in one of the coaches and offered a balloon to the small girl… a black balloon. Bo got super excited, and Ted couldn’t stop her from running away. It was in vain to run after - the evil man took her. His name is Pinstripe, and Ted tries to find the villain and rescue the girl.

You can help Ted in the game Pinstripe. It’s a pretty small piece of gaming art, with rather a dark world but also with very interesting puzzles. Pinstripe is available on PC, Mac, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.

Ori and the Blind Forest - a small sparkle to save the world

Something went terribly wrong in the magnificent forest. Lush green changed to sharp thorns. Instead of friendly animals, dangerous creatures are lurking around. It seems like only Ori can return water, wind, and warmth to revive the forest.

In short, this is an initial story of the game Ori and the Blind Forest. It’s a very good Metroidvania with unique art style and super various mechanics. The game is available for PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

PC vs Consoles, Consoles vs Consoles...

Only when we sleep and see a dream about passing a difficult location, we don't need any hardware for playing games. In other times, we enjoy exciting game emotions using different devices.

Many gamers have their preferences rather settled. Communities of console brands and fans of PC gaming may even have a kind of weird confrontation, arguing that their device is better and everyone should agree with this. Still, many players have no prejudgements and are glad to hear various opinions. In any case, it’s good to think properly before making a decision on your gaming device - this thing may remain with you for many years, projecting its unique style on your gaming life.

This article doesn’t give ready-made answers. It just gives you the food for thought by highlighting features of gaming computers and consoles. So, let’s delve into gaming hardware!

All the Pokémon of Generation IV in Pokémon Go

Getting all the creatures into your Pokédex is a huge part of Pokémon games - core RPGs and many spin-offs. Still, it’s not so easy to achieve this exciting goal. There are lots of Pokémon in the virtual existence and some of them are quite rare.

Niantic, the developers of the AR adventure Pokémon Go, add new species into their product gradually. In April 2020, we have most of the creatures till the Generation V. You can easily catch lots of them, but soon, you will be meeting mostly duplicates. Some Pokémon appear in special areas. Others can be met during time-limited events. Only very dedicated trainers can gather the whole collection.

Final Fantasy VII Remake, revision of the great adventure (game release)

The game industry creates quite a lot of remakes these days, and this is a decent activity for the developers - great classics will not be forgotten on the shelves of gaming history.

Final Fantasy is one of the longest and most popular series. Its seventh instalment appeared in 1997 for the original PlayStation console. Now, Square Enix releases a remake, which in fact is rather a new game than a polished version of the old one. 

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available exclusively for the PlayStation 4. It’s planned to be released on other platforms in April 2021.

The power of choice - Life is Strange (game impression)

Max started her study at Blackwell Academy quite recently and she is still in the middle of social adaptation. Suddenly, the girl finds herself involved in a mystical and criminal story, where she becomes a central figure who decides the fate of many other people.

Max is a heroine of Life is Strange, a very popular graphic adventure game. It’s available on PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and mobile devices. Have you played it?

On one hand, this game is absolutely amazing - the very possibility to make choices and see them changing the world makes a powerful impression. On the other hand, the story of Life is Strange is very dark, so it’s not really a cheerful gaming experience.

The Adventure Pals - one of the funniest platformers out there (game impressions)

A boy has received a birthday present from his father, and it was… a giraffe!  And more precisely, a very small giraffe that can fit in the boy’s backpack. The joy was almost overwhelming, and the sincere friendship was born. Alas, an evil guy interrupted this celebration. The awful villain Mr. B kidnapped Papa to turn him into a hotdog, like he already did with so many elderly people. What to do here? Of course, the boy Wilton should start the rescue mission and save everyone from evilness. The giraffe Sparkles and funny little Mr. Rock will be his pals - but nothing is possible without the players who control them.

The Adventure Pals is a colourful platformer with a unique style and amazing humor. It is available for PC, Mac, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Would you like to delve into something super fun and a bit challenging but not really difficult? Then this game may be exactly for you.
