Everspace 2: Wrath of the Ancients DLC - Yay or Nay (PC)

5 days ago | news.softpedia.com | Cosmin Vasile

Ever since Everspace 2 came out, I thought it would be very hard for any other game to surpass its marvelous space RPG, looter-shooting gameplay. While the Titans DLC had a rather mixed reception from the community, I was very excited to see another, rather large DLC coming in, this time focusing on the Okkar and their unique background. Simply put, we get to learn more about this civilization, its beginnings, and the challenges they faced, while trying to avoid any signs of war.
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream Preview (PC)

1 week ago | news.softpedia.com | Cosmin Vasile

Ever since Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream was announced, I kept my eyes on it, for a very good reason. It brings that vibe of Gears Tactics, Desperados 3 and Shadow Gambit, with a great level design, impressive stealth and a lot of soul. In fact, the game’s main premise is that you play a girl who is desperately trying to find her brother. But make no mistake, the game is anything but easy, and you’ll have to use all the skills at your disposal to get past all kinds of challenges.
Bullet Noir Preview (PC)

The cop is flying down the street, moving as quickly as possible, using his dual pistols to mow down enemies. Unfortunately, ammo is running low, and that means he will soon have to drop those and pick up a worse option with more bullets. The city is dark and the only things that matter are the enemies running around and the walls a high-powered rifle can shoot through. I push past some parked cars into a square, activating the slow-motion special power.
RailGods of Hysterra Preview (PC)

2 weeks ago | news.softpedia.com | Cosmin Vasile

A survival game that delves in the Cthulhu mythos is something that a lot of people have been waiting for, and RailGods of Hysterra manages to finally bring such an idea to fruition. The idea here is that the Old Ones came back, they destroyed most of the human civilization, with only a few people getting to escape to the Dreamlands. After a while, you get back to Earth in an effort to defeat Cthulhu once and for all.
The Rise of the Golden Idol: The Lemurian Phoenix DLC - Yay or Nay (PC)

Where does human folly end and supernatural interference begin? Can someone emerge from a devastating fire without trickery and secure a mantle of leadership? Can followers of a religious figure discover how he died without having to pierce the mantle of holiness that surrounds him? I wonder about these questions even as I struggle to match names to faces and understand table eating arrangements. I’ve already solved the murder of a royal, using only one hint.
Fresh Tracks Preview (PC)

Rolling cubes are always a problem. I might be a song-driven warrior sailing on skis toward a confrontation with evil, but those animated blocks of stone tend to create a lot of problems. That’s because their movement patterns draw attention in a way that leads to a breakdown of my rhythm concentration. I need to also keep an eye out for trees and other obstacles that I can destroy to power up my healing sword, it helps to also notice the pink hearts that restore hit points on the spot.
MechWarrior 5: Clans - Ghost Bear: Flash Storm DLC - Yay or Nay (PC)

3 weeks ago | news.softpedia.com | Cosmin Vasile

The Elementals are swarming an enemy Crab, which means my Star can focus its attention on the other Kuritan mechs that are defending this solar farm. The multi-ton combat hardware trampling around, which also includes classic tanks, is destroying the very panels they’re fighting over. The Draconis Combine puts up a decent fight, but the Ghost Bear’s will not be stopped. I put another cluster of slugs into an incoming enemy as I pass it.
Lost Skies Preview (PC)

1 month ago | news.softpedia.com | Cosmin Vasile

We all like the idea of meeting ancient civilizations, seeing how they were thinking at that time and the marvels they created. Lost Skies offers that in videogame format, and it’s a brilliant experience. Right off the bat, you start off in the Ark that crashed into an unknown land. You have nothing on you, so you have to explore and find your way around. That’s not as easy as you might expect, however. The world of Lost Skies is made out of floating islands, which vary in size, but also in content.
Stygian: Outer Gods Preview (PC)

1 month ago | news.softpedia.com | Cosmin Vasile

As someone who enjoys H. P. Lovecraft short stories, I am always excited to see a new game trying to capture that horrific, yet very personal and immersive style. Stygian: Outer Gods is one of the latest games trying to achieve that, and based on its early access release, it certainly manages to do so. If you read Lovecraft short stories, you already know the settlement of Kingsport. In Stygian: Outer Gods, Kingsport is at the center of the entire experience, even if you get here by accident.
Sins of a Solar Empire II - Paths to Power DLC - Yay or Nay (PC)

2 months ago | news.softpedia.com | Cosmin Vasile

Maybe going all in on propaganda this quickly wasn’t the best idea. The scenario is all about converting a ton of people to the side of the Advent and its beliefs using the power of media. But I expanded a little too fast and used orbital space for Temples of Communion when the more pressing need was to boost research to improve my ships’ combat capabilities. Now I’m locked in a series of battles against the TEC, with resources also needed for static defenses.
