Some in the galaxy hitchhike, others spin tales of a long, long time ago, and others want to help fight the bugs by enlisting in the mechanized infantry. Although not everyone can “go to space”, players have long mastered a large part of the universe, and soon they will be able to do so thanks to Everspace 2’s “CD-Action” featured on the cover of the last issue . Of course, the quite positive assessment of the game’s early access is not the only topic worth getting acquainted with in the latest installment of the quarterly.
School, village and dead space
Game reviews, an integral part of CD-Action, could not start this time with anything other than a solid thud in the Hogwarts Legacy rating . This award for undoubtedly the best title from the universe of magic, owl mail and not always tasty beans perfectly shows why Harry Potter fans can finally say that they have experienced a solid transfer of their beloved book world into the space of cyber entertainment. Unfortunately, we cannot speak so positively about the long-awaited refreshment of the series of adventures of the settlers. The Settlers: New Alliesit was supposed to be a return of a popular economic strategy to its successful roots, and it turned out to be a military- and PVP-oriented average with a terrifying number of errors, finished off by cheeky microtransactions. Fortunately, the remake of the first Dead Space went in a completely different direction , which can serve as an example of how to refresh older productions. Of course, there was also a list of indie games that look good enough to give them a chance.
The digital world is not only about games
Changing the format of “CD-Action” from a monthly to a quarterly allowed the magazine to be stuffed with journalism, and although it is always good, interesting content, this time I had a unique problem to choose the most interesting tidbits for you to present without summarizing the whole thing and leaving something to self discovery. Interview with the creator of the first The Settlers Volker Wertich, articles about SimCity , Colossal Cave Adventure and The Last of Us, texts on the occasion of a quarter of a century of Unreal and interfaces are a good read, which is really worth getting acquainted with. Nevertheless, the most important of the topics covered (in my subjective opinion) is how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the gaming industry. Coronavirus, although it is still a hellishly dangerous virus, has already been controlled enough to return to normal. Therefore, we can now look at the changes that this historical episode has left in the world, and that is what editor Otton is doing, showing us how this time has affected the electronic entertainment industry. Have you heard about the Sega Saturn tragedy? Also in this issue of “CD-Action” we can read about this story of ambition and misunderstanding in creating an almost forgotten Japanese console.Roblox , and the inquisitive editor Wokulski even managed to reach representatives of the virtual Archdiocese of Gniezno.
How does Wild Hearts , Marvel’s Midnight Suns , Forspoken or Like a Dragon: Ishin! ? What was the trail of the creators of the first Witcher like ? What was the cross-platform war before the representatives of PC MASTER RACE appeared? What is the beauty of limitation and why meditate on the controller? This and much more, of course, you will find in “CD-Action”! Hurry up, because although a quarter is a long time, it passes very quickly.
