Short days and long evenings tend to sink into the reading, there is no doubt about it. As the so-called cucumber season is behind us, there is much more going on in the gaming industry, and thus, there is plenty to read about. As if that were not enough, the next edition of “CD-Action” started a new habit. From now on, everyone who subscribed to this magazine will receive a collector’s printing with an alternative cover of the previous issue as a gift! Who of you have already felt a collector’s power and intend to catch them all?
Of course, the addition is an addition, but what matters most is the interior, and here it is also quite nice. The editors share their impressions of the limited title Peripeteia , in which we play the role of a cyborg wandering around an alternative, post-Soviet Poland full of dirt and neon lights. They also checked the charming, but also demanding Timberborn citybuilder with beavers in the lead role and PotionCraft allowing for a relaxing game of a medieval alchemist. Whether the current state of these Early Accesses allows you to look positively to the future, you will learn from the very beginning.
It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that among the reviews, the text about the latest, sixth installment of Far Cry, comes to the fore . Although we are dealing here with a fairly solid AAA production, the history of the revolution turns out to be not only not that sensational, but even disappointing at times. Much better, however, is Life is Strange: True Colors – a bit slow, but full of charm and a very mature story about a young empath – and Ken: Bridge of Spirits , a beautiful, charming and extremely successful story about a mysterious guide of lost souls. In the end, we also got a review of the full version of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous , and quite positive, and personally I recommend reading the text about the gameToem: a Photo Adventure – stylized as a grandmother’s story about a photographic adventure. It is worth reading for the artistic layer, for example.
Kazimierz Prószyński returned to the journalism, this time in the context of the success of his aeroscope and the bad luck haunting his eye. The article on how original productions, presenting a completely new story, become sequels of well-known and popular brands for various reasons is also very interesting. The editors are not blind to the success of the latest film adaptation of Dune by Frank Herbert, and on this occasion the editor of DaeL takes us on a sentimental journey after previous attempts to translate the novel into the language of film and computer games.
