The hardships of medieval life, the darkness of the September Campaign, the Olympic Games and the story of a shock. What’s hidden in the holiday issue of CD-Action?
Most of the holidays are behind us, so we should make the best use of the remaining free time. Of course, a very good option is to immerse yourself in a pleasant reading, and in this case, we do not have to limit ourselves to books. Is the latest issue of CD-Action a good option to spend nice, casual moments?
The summer season is not particularly exploited by the gaming industry, but this does not mean that we have to reckon with complete drought. This is evidenced by the Steam Next festival, which took place in June, but still affects the industry. For this reason, the editors of the magazine have prepared a list of as many as a dozen promising productions that are worth keeping an eye on. There are also impressions from the gameplay of other upcoming games like King’s Bounty II , a mix of strategy and RPG promisingly refreshing the slightly dusty series, or a futuristic, cooperative hack’n’slash with a huge development tree and a rather vague vision of development, i.e. Space Punks . Going Medieval also promises to be interesting- hardcore medieval city builder for lovers of the genre, as well as The Fermi Paradox , tempting to play as the protector of the universe.
As it is easy to notice, the era preceding the Renaissance is the main theme of the issue, which is already presented to us on the cover. No wonder, because inside we can find an extensive and interesting review of the Chilvara II . If this title tells you nothing, then it is worth making up for the shortcomings, because this game shows the chaos of medieval battles in such a good way that it is worth getting interested in this production. It is also worth paying attention to Chicory: A Colorful Tale , hiding a real depth worth knowing under the guise of an advanced coloring, the seriousness of which cannot be spoiled even by the fact that you can accidentally follow the fate of a pork chop in it. Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance fares slightly worse, a return to the well-known land of Icewind Dale, which is a bit lacking something, and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Official video game , showing once again that the game versions of such great events are only created to cut coupons immediately, without long-term plans and inserting at least little bit of heart. Ah, there is also a review of Land of War: The Beginning , although for MS GAMES this is not as good news as you might think, which is a pity.
Of course, the employees of CD-Action did not miss a nice, twenty-fifth birthday of the first edition of Quake.. On this occasion, we can read as many as three publications, from which we learn what the game was supposed to be initially, in how many aspects it revolutionized gaming and what emotions accompanied one of the editors while getting to know this production, and if we would like to return to the old, carefree murdering non-men, we can also find here tips on how to start an old game along with mods on modern equipment. However, journalism is not just a shock, after all, we can also learn the history of Laserdisc – a disc that was ahead of its time so that it was only broken by the DVD format, read about how BitTorrent influenced piracy, digital distribution and social observations or learn about a certain FBI action, which brutally refutes the existing confidence about the anonymity of transactions made with cryptocurrencies.
Reviews of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin , No More Heroes , Backbone , Mario Golf: Super Rush , Roguebook , Scarlet Nexus , LEGO Builder’s Journey , Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights and many other games are waiting to be read. Or maybe you are interested in journalism about The Elder Scrolls Online , God of War III , Sinclair ZX series computers, device servicing or McAfee? If so, you will surely like the last CD-Action. Hurry up, the new issue is just around the corner!
