It is the year 3024, and Earth is running low on Natural resources. A team of scientists creates a robot known as Nep2no to search underwater for an energy source known as Gaia. Does this game sink into the Abyss, or is it a cave worth exploring?
There's crafting, professions, guilds, wars, and an in-game economy.
Dan Rizzo says "So this is where we’re at with Nintendo and their continuous colloquy of tedious arguments against emulation. It’s funny how a company that’s so against open-source emulation, uses it to sell commercial products such as the NES and SNES Classic Mini, but release a minimal quantity to drum-up all the hype behind it, only to leave a majority of its fanbase disappointed when struggling to acquire the now collector’s piece."
someone made a good point that older music, movies, and books are far more easier to get access to than games. I think the industry needs to make a change. It's crazy that so much is gone now and I'm willing to pay for the games, but there's literally no way to get them now.
I can't speak to music as I don't collect it, and books are still quite accessible through paperbacks & hardcover releases. But movies & tv shows are starting to have a problem with accessibility now, with all these streaming-exclusives. Before everything would get a DVD or Blu-ray release, but now if content is pulled from a streamer, like happened with some HBO Max stuff recently, there's often no physical disc option or even a digital download through a service like iTunes. They're just lost media, same as delisted digital-only games.
SquareXO: Artifex Mundi is back with another hidden object game (HOG) in which you must solve puzzles, find hidden objects, complete domino sections and explore the beautifully hand-drawn locations to stop the villain and save the day. As noted in my review for ‘Eventide 2’, I am a big fan of these games and, without any doubt, as soon as I started playing this game I couldn’t stop until I had achieved the platinum. This game, however, requires two playthroughs of the main game and one of the bonus chapter in order to accomplish that.
