ETERNAL STRANDS REVIEW

I was given a PS5 code from PR Company Terminals @terminalsio @evolve_pr Publisher, Developer Yellow Brick Games @YellowBrick_Qc

This is released in the UK on the 28/01/2025 and in the UK is priced at £32,99.

INTRODUCTION

Fight, Epic towering creatures while blending magical abilities with an arsenal of powerful weapons to prevent the world from crumbling.

FEATURES

  • The World is Your Weapon At the heart of Eternal Strands beats a revolutionary new system for gameplay interactions: heat spreads, cold chills, and real-time destruction allows for unprecedented reactivity in combat. Hurl burning tree trunks at enemies with telekinetic powers, snap nearby trees to block opposing fire, or channel raw telekinetic force to rip boulders from the ground.
  • Weaver of Magic Wear the Mantle, a magical cloak that channels raw magic into raging flame, chilling ice, and telekinetic force. Combine your growing array of powers with enchanted weapons and armor crafted from slain enemies to create a custom look and style. Block incoming attacks with a wall of magical ice, lash out waves of flame from a massive two-handed blade, or toss enemies off a cliff with raw force.
  • Stand Against Giants Face gigantic adversaries and defeat them through a mix of sword, spell, and mobility. Leap onto and climb their massive forms to attack from different angles. Shatter armor or slice at weak spots to diminish their protection. Use ice to pin limbs of a towering foe, arcane flames to burn their fur, or catch lobbed projectiles and turn their attacks back upon them in battles that will leave scars upon the land.
  • Unstable Climate to Master Enhance the effectiveness of your ice abilities during a flash freeze to open up new paths. Use a heatwave to start a wildfire and watch it spread towards enemies as it consumes the tinder-dry trees and grass around it.
  • A World Rich with Secrets Explore the wilds, the capital city of Dynevron, and the secrets beneath as every surface is climbable. Magical abilities can create bridges, burn barriers, or launch Brynn across the world. The next-generation physics system encourages and rewards player creativity in exploration as much as combat. As the Enclave’s secrets unfold, return to base camp to consult with a rich cast of characters. Each are keen to discover the mysteries of what happened to this lost bastion of power and knowledge.
  • A realm of mystery, opportunity, danger, and wonder: the Enclave awaits.

THE THAUMATURGE REVIEW

I was given a PS5 code by PR Company Terminals @terminalsio @evolve_pr Publisher 11 Bit Studios @11bitstudios Developer Fools Theory @Fools_Theory

This is released in the UK on the 4/12/2024 and in the UK is priced at £29.99.

INTRODUCTION

The Thaumaturge is a character driven RPG with a rich story, morally ambiguous choices and turn based combat.

FEATURES

  • A hero with a flaw
  • Wiktor Szulski is a thaumaturge, a master of mystical arts, who can peer into the hearts and minds of others, uncovering their deepest emotions, desires, and secrets. However, his powers also feed into his flaw of pride, which can present him with various opportunities or lead to negative consequences.
  • Untold mysteries waiting to be revealed
  • No secret or intrigue is safe when the thaumaturge is around. Your unique abilities will give you a great edge in solving detective investigations, becoming a savvy socialite or even dealing with the criminal underground. Explore the world using Wiktor’s perception, seeking personal secrets hidden in objects, that provide different perspectives on events that may seem obvious at first glance.
  • Taming mythical creatures
  • As a thaumaturge, you draw your power from the ability to summon salutors – mystical, folklore-inspired demons that inhabit the ethereal realm. Use their powers to manipulate your foes, sway the minds of allies, and fight opponents in turn-based tactical combat.
  • Unique turn-based combat
  • Engage in deep, tactical combat against various opponents – some physical, others more elusive. Wiktor’s thaumaturgical abilities let you bend the rules of reality, summoning demons to unleash powerful attacks or gain strategic advantages.
  • A rich gallery of characters
  • The early 20th-century Warsaw is a multicultural metropolis with inhabitants from all walks of life. Among them, you’ll meet historical figures like the monk Rasputin or Tsar Nicholas II. The story also introduces you to a gallery of characters connected to Wiktor’s troubled past such as his well-versed sister Ligia or Abaurcy, a childhood friend who turned to a life of crime.

BIOMORPH REVIEW

I was given a PS5 code from Publisher, Developer Lucid Dreams Studio @ldstudiomtl

This is released in the UK on the 22/11/20224 and in the UK is priced at £15.99.

INTRODUCTION

BIOMORPH is a dark Metroidvania, where you become what you kill and solve ingenious puzzles.

FEATURES

  • BECOME YOUR ENEMY. Play as the enemies by killing them and taking their shape. You will be able to use their skills to fight other enemies or use their powers to navigate in uncharted territories.
  • THEY LEARN YOUR WAYS. Fight your way through a challenging AI system where previously mimicked creatures unlock new powers to create a unique experience while revisiting areas of the game.
  • CHOOSE YOUR WEAPONS. Choose your fighting style by using an arsenal of melee and range weapons, each of them having its own upgrade tree, to bash and shoot enemies. Create different builds in support of your play style by equipping and mixing different unique skills that you can upgrade.
  • EXPLORE A VAST WORLD. Explore a vast non-linear, interconnected world composed of many different environments, home of optional boss fights, eccentric NPCs, tons of secrets and upgrades to reward the most daring explorer.
  • PERSONALIZE A VILLAGE. Rebuild the city of Blightmoor and befriend it’s inhabitants, learning more about their daily life and the town’s origins. Customize the look of the city to make it your own.

FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Characters that you meet all have own look and own personality and even quests to do.

Enemies are cool as alot of variety to them and all have own attacks to learn in order to beat them and are challenging to beat some of the mini bosses.

World is fun to explore and feels alive with loads of secrets to find and side quests to get interesting rewards and loved the collectable cats that all have own lore to them and much more to the world.

Controls are easy to learn and very responsive which is nice.

Combat is fast and responsive not slow you are very agile and combat can be hectic at some points and keeps you on your toes.

Creatures that you are able to transform into are great as all have own look and own uses to them and is fun to transform into creatures and all own feel to them is nice.

Mementos are cool as can switch them around to suit own playstyle and make own build and all have alot of options and own uses to them.

Alot of content as loads to do, explore and make own build and much more.

Can be easy to get lost and be confused as the best way to get to the objective.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall can get lost easy. However for £15.99, story is fun and interesting with the characters that you meet on your adventures all have own look and own personality to them and the world is fun to explore and has loads of secrets and side quests and collectable slug cats to find and more and the combat is fun and responsive with easy to learn controls and the enemies all have own look and attacks to learn and the mementos all have own look and own uses which you can make own build and the creatures that you are able to transform into are great as all have own look and uses to them and so much more to the game.
