The variety of games available for people to play nowadays is vast and endless, and it never ceases to amaze me the creativity of game developers. In this week's Official Wiki Roundup, we have four completely different experiences which are sure to add a little variety in your life!
The Outer Worlds is an incredibly enjoyable single-player RPG with fantastic writing and satisfying gameplay. There are so many choices regarding your character progression that things can get a little overwhelming at times, but our beginner's guide will set you on the path to success! These tips are things we wish that we knew before getting started in The Outer Worlds, but come from having put significant time into the game. Additionally, we've done our best to keep this guide as spoiler free as possible.
BlizzCon is Blizzard Entertainment's annual convention which brings the fans of their games together to at the Anaheim Convention Center in California to celebrate the games that they love. Next weekend, starting November 1st and running through the 3rd, Blizzard is expected to reveal major announcements for all of their franchises during the opening ceremony, which is live streamed for free. During the rest of the convention Blizzard will host countless panels with developers that deep dive into the upcoming content.
There are so many huge game releases nowadays that it's easy to miss out on some amazing smaller titles that tend to slip through the cracks. Smaller titles can sometimes feel rough around the edges, but more often than not they are able to take greater risks with their design. This sometimes leads to some absolutely outstanding gems of games, and often allows us to re-live nostalgic experiences that we loved in older titles. With that said, we invite you to take a look at three games that may scratch that itch for you in this week's official Wiki roundup!
The original Fantasy General saw release in 1996, the third installment in Strategic Simulations’ Five Star General series. It may have been more than two decades later, but on September 5, 2019, Fantasy General II arrived to the joy of old-school strategy gamers everywhere, all made possible thanks to the efforts of developer Owned by Gravity and publisher Slitherine. But how did the revival of this classic strategy title come to be? We recently chatted with Jan Wagner, managing director of Owned by Gravity, to learn more.
Fall is one of the best times of the year! It's nice to sit down with a slice of pumpkin pie while you sip on the ridiculous variety of seasonal lattes and play one of the endless games that has recently released. Afterall, 'tis the season for developers to be pushing to get their games out before the upcoming holidays, but that also means you often have far too many games to play with limited time. Seriously though, how is anyone supposed to play both Borderlands 3 and World of Warcraft: Classic when they released within two weeks of each other!? To make the situation of indecision of what to play even harder, we've got three awesome games to feature in this week's official Wiki roundup!
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the beloved fantasy themed puzzle-platforming Trine franchise, and what better way to celebrate than with the release of Trine 4? Developer Frozenbyte is returning the series to its roots after 2015's Trine 3, a game that didn't quite capture the magic of previous entries in the franchise, in part due to the game's shift to 3D environments for the first time and a story that ended on an unexpected cliffhanger.
Thankfully, Trine 4 looks to be a dream come true for fans and is shaping up to be the most ambitious, visually impressive, and complex adventure in the series yet. Frozenbyte marketing manager Kai Tuovinen recently took the time to answer some questions on what both new players and franchise fans can expect when Trine 4 releases on October 3, and how lessons learned during the development of Trine 3 affected the game's development.
