FOREGONE – REVIEW

OUR RATING 8/10

GAME OVERVIEW
An evil called Torment is plaguing Calagan, turning living beings into diabolical creatures that only wishes to destroy. As a powerful warrior, known as the Peacemaker, you must open the kingdom to the source of evil to end this calamity.

Throughout the story, you will learn more about the mythology of the game and that in fact the Peacemaker is directly involved, in a way, with the evil that is devastating life in Calagan and the creation of terrible creatures, called Projects, leading you to a surprising and somewhat predictable ending when we reach much of the adventure.

The Peacemaker has several weapons at its disposal, such as swords, spears, pistols and bows to fight enemies that cross its path to reach the desolate city of Calagan and resolve, once and for all, the dire situation caused by the Torment and allowing the heroine to have her redemption.

Foregone is a 2D action title with agile gameplay and an interesting story, which motivates us to move forward until its end. In today’s analysis we will know a little more about this great title from the Big Blue Bubble.

GAMEPLAY
The explorable areas of the map are divided into several regions that do not differ as much as the structure. Platform gameplay is well explored throughout the game, but by differing only in a visual way, the vast majority of areas have an almost equal structure, with switches used to unlock doors or enemies that must be defeated to allow access to the following rooms, allowing Pacadora to progress through the game. Several secret areas also make up these areas, adding an element of exploration that rewards the player with items of greater rarity.

Defeating the game’s main bosses adds new movement skills for the protagonist, allowing some previously inaccessible areas to be reached. This encourages the player to want to return to the previous areas of the game to explore a little more and obtain more techniques and rare items. Special skills gained during the game provide a third approach option. Explosions that damage all enemies on the screen, concentrated rays of energy to decimate those in front of you, furious attacks, as well as other abilities capable of increasing the warrior’s attributes, such as attack speed or deflecting shields for blows and projectiles.

When you explore the different areas of the map, you will find teleportation points, which allow you to return to an area at the beginning of the game, an outpost, to make improvements in equipment and improvements in warrior skills. Upon dying, the Peacemaker leaves an amphora with all its coins and improvement points, waiting to be rescued by the player. Items and skills already equipped and objectives are not affected.

Thus, dying does not become as painful as it could be. The player only needs to go back to where he died to recover the amphora and continue his adventure if he wants to recover the points, or simply ignore it and continue on his journey. Even the unlocked doors are still open. The real damage is with the time lost to redo a certain route again.

Defeating enemies rewards the player with equipment, gold coins, skill enhancement points and health recovery points. The equipment is classified by rarity, which determines the amount of improvements that can be made in the outpost next to the blacksmith and two more figures that are located there:

  • Thaumaturga: a lady who allows us to allocate points to improve the passive skills of the Pacifier and make improvements to the techniques we obtained during the game using the points received from defeated enemies;
  • Blacksmith: a man who allows us to make improvements to our weapons and equipment at the cost of gold coins, in addition to converting unwanted items into more coins;
  • Boatman: when dying, the amphora is left in the place where we were shot, containing all the money and points collected, it can be obtained immediately, but with only half of its content. You can talk to the boatman for this or ignore him and go to the place of death to recover his full content.

As the player progresses in the game, the evolution of the main character is noticeable, with the use of better equipment, more powerful weapons and more agility in moving around the different areas. After finishing for the first time, it is possible to run a second race in New Game + mode, in which the player resumes the adventure keeping his equipment from the previous game and with a slight increase in the difficulty of enemies, especially the bosses, who also come back to life in case you are defeated.

PROs, CONs and OVERALL GAMING EXPERIENCE
One of Foregone’s main highlights is its fluid gameplay. Moving around the different scenarios of the game is a delightful task due to the beauty and precision of the movements that can be performed with the Pacifier. Combat follows this beauty with very lively and precise movements, providing constant moments of action on the screen. The pacifier’s arsenal consists basically of a melee attack weapon and a ranged attack weapon, in which ammunition is automatically reloaded when carrying out body attacks.

One of the interesting points that the game provides is the malleability of the Pacificadora’s skill tree. Other games of the genre usually do not allow you to reverse an improvement made by the player. In Foregone it is possible to revert your entire skill tree in exchange for some gold coins. This gives the player the freedom to adjust the warrior’s skills during the adventure, adapting it to the style that suits them best.

Despite not innovating in much, the gameplay and the freedom provided to build the protagonist’s skills are two extremely relevant points to consider Foregone a great addition to the platform action genre. Players who like to collect better and better equipment and seek a moderate level of challenge will be very well served here.

Foregone is undeniably one of the best indies of 2020. Although the game does not reinvent the wheel, it delivers all round systems with extremely addictive gameplay. And even thought it doesn’t have that spectacular appeal or that addictive quality of other games, some of the gameplay might end up surprising you.

If you like action RPG, it’s definitely worth checking out. You’ll come across a solid adventure, with incredible art that seem to have traveled in time. Despite being a short game, it is well worth the investment if you are looking for something new to play in the midst of so many AAA’s that have been disappointing recently.

Cyberpunk 2077 officially postponed to December 10

With a delay of 21 days.

CD Projekt RED has officially postponed the release date for Cyberpunk 2077. Previously announced to arrive on the 19th of November, will now be on the 10th of December.

The same will be available for platforms, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam , Epic Games Store and GOG and also Google Stadia. And shortly thereafter it will arrive for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series at a date yet to be announced.

See the company’s message below regarding this delay.

Hello everyone,

Today, we decided to postpone the release date of Cyberpunk 2077 by 21 days. The new release date is December 10.

There are probably a lot of emotions and questions in their heads, so first of all, accept our humble apologies.

The biggest challenge for us now is to launch the game in the current generation, next generation and PC at the same time, which requires that we prepare and test nine versions of it (Xbox One / X, compatibility with Xbox Series S / X, PlayStation 4 / Pro , compatibility with PlayStation 5, PC, Stadia) … while working at home. Since  Cyberpunk 2077  has evolved to almost be a next generation title somewhere along the way, we need to make sure that everything works well and that all versions work perfectly. We are aware that it may seem unreal when someone says that 21 days can make a difference in such a massive and complex game, but they really do.

Some of you may also be wondering what those words mean when we say that we won the golden master some time ago. Passing the certification, or “winning gold”, means that the game is ready, can be completed and contains all the content. But that does not mean that we stop working on it and raise the standard of quality. On the contrary, this is the time when many improvements are being made, which will be distributed through a Day O patch. This is the time period that we underestimated.

We feel that we have an incredible game in our hands and we are willing to make all the decisions, even the most difficult ones, if this results in a video game that you will fall in love with.

Sincerely,
Adam Badowski and Marcin Iwinski

Amnesia: Rebirth has gameplay revealed

Frictional Games have officially unveiled a new trailer, in which we see five minutes of the new narrative horror game in first person.

You can’t let out a breath. The creature is only inches away. Its only purpose – to fuel your terror. And then you crouch in the dark, trying to stop the fear from growing, trying to silence what’s inside you.

In Amnesia: Rebirth, you are Tasi Trianon, waking up in the middle of the Algerian desert. Days passed. Where have you been? What did you do? Where are the others? Redo your journey, gather the fragments of your shattered past; it is your only chance to survive the merciless horror that threatens to devour you.

“Don’t allow yourself to be angry, don’t allow yourself to be afraid.”

Time is against you. Put yourself in Tasi’s shoes and guide her through her personal terror and pain. As you struggle to make your way through a desolate landscape, you must also struggle with your own hopes, fears and bitter regrets. And yet you must continue, step by step, knowing that if you fail, you will lose everything.

The game will officially arrive on PlayStation 4, PC via Steam , GOG and Epic Games Store on October 20th.

Fortnite officially receives Wolverine

Fortnite’s latest chapter and season is all about the entry of the Marvel universe in the game. As the fun involving these superheroes—and supervillains—is still not through, exciting surprises remain ongoing. In this latest update, it involves the presence of a Wolverine boss in the persona of “Weapon X”. Who is Logan himself as a subject of a certain governmental experiment.

Weapon X will become available at the Weeping Woods. Anyone who manages to defeat this mutant will receive some fancy Wolverine Claws.

While still a speculation, the internet is buzzing in the idea that Blade might be seeing his debut eventually. Which, to most Marvel comics fans, would recall had a rivalry with Wolverine himself.

Wolverine is now available for the popular battle royale. Epic Games comes to present the opportunity to acquire the classic style of the mutant.

So you will have to look for Wolverine in the Weeping Woods, and with that if you can shoot you can win your skin and several other items exclusive to Logan. In addition, you can use emotes like Snikt.

Season 2 of Chapter 2 is entirely dedicated to Marvel characters.

Rocket League destroys attendance record

You will never guess how interesting the car and football game was when it launched as a “free to play” model. It’s a safe bet that regular PC Rocket League practitioners who suffered server problems this Thursday, September 24, could have guessed.

Rocket League was extremely well-received when it debuted as a PlayStation Plus title way back in 2015 and continues to be popular with players on all platforms. Now that Rocket League has gone free-to-play, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch owners won’t need either a PS Plus or a Nintendo Switch Online membership to play. Xbox One users will still require Xbox Live Gold, however.

Corey Davis, head of the Psyonix Studio, owned by Epic Games since 2019, revealed a reboot on the hats of the wheel:

And to believe Internet users who followed up on his message, the figure continued to climb. It is worth remembering that in addition to the move to free-to-play this Wednesday, September 23, a download of Rocket League  on the Epic Games Store  automatically provides, until October 23, a voucher of 10 euros valid, until November 1, on a purchase of 14.99 euros minimum. Watch the trailer below:
