Gaming Irresponsibly writes: The importance of atmosphere in a game should never be underestimated. Atmosphere should be recognized as one of the key elements that separates a modern gaming experience from the likes of Pac-Man and Galaga.
A gamer can have a ton of fun running through a corridor, shooting aliens and/or terrorists to no end, but without a significant immersion factor to draw the player into the experience, a game's impact will soften, causing it to ultimately blend in with the rest of the titles out there.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out free games and you can add two more to your library this week.
Some Helldivers 2 players are frustrated with some content still being broken, so read this article to see what that is all about.
Some?? Try all. Mechs are bugged, many weapons are useless including the newly renewed ones, stratagems are bugged or weak, we still get stuck in the terrain with no way out, and the list goes on. Good game but they need to fix the issues before doing anything else.
