S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 : Heart of Chornobyl - Jotun Reviews
STALKER 2 brings us back into the Zone; a Zone where the old rivalries still linger as new factions vie for control. But all I really care about is stockpiling sausages and traipsing through psychic minefields. Releasing in late 2024, it's a sequel 15 years removed from the initial trilogy, still developed by GSC Game World... and it's a game I had extremely mixed feelings on.
-----------------------------------------------------
I switched from OBS to the new Steam recording overlay for this video and boy howdy did I have a lot of missing clips and absent/mismatched audio. Hopefully they improve that service, but dang did it make this video rough to edit.
------------------------------------------------------
Played on PC for ~90 hours. Didn't get every achievement.

Night Stones - Wholesome Indie Fun - Jotun Reviews
Переглядів 93Місяць тому
A short and sweet review for a short and sweet game. Night Stones is an indie project by a solo developer (Advance Nine) that released in November 2024, it's an adventure/exploration game with a runtime of around ~4 hours. S thoroughly enjoyable and wholesome experience for that runtime. It's such a breezy, light adventure that I got really wrapped up in it and can't find much fault at all.
Islands of the Caliph - An Indie Dungeon Crawling Adventure - Jotun Reviews
Переглядів 48Місяць тому
Islands of the Caliph is a first-person dungeon crawler-slash-exploration game taking place in a world wrought from middle eastern folklore and the Islamic tradition. Featuring bright, popping graphics and relatively simple controls, it's a quick game that's certainly worth a try.
Judero - Jotun Reviews
Переглядів 134Місяць тому
Judero is an ARPG developed by two people, with graphics made entirely of physical objects and stop-motion animations, with a focus on the Scottish border and the mythology thereof. The gameplay is a bit simple, the writing is a bit deep, and I had a good time overall. Played on Steam. 100% achievements in ~8 hours
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call Of Prypiat (PS5) Review
Переглядів 1,5 тис.Місяць тому
Stalker: Call of Prypiat is the third game in the series and a direct sequel to Shadows of Chernobyl, continuing the story of the Zone after Strelok disables the C-Consciousness. Featuring two new sprawling, open-world-styled areas and an impressive amount of quality of life improvements (which I spend about half the video listing), it's a thoroughly enjoyable conclusion to the initial trilogy....
Space Marine 2 - Jotun Reviews
Переглядів 512 місяці тому
Warhammer 40,000 : Space Marine 2 is a 2024 action/shooter that has one of the most generic titles in existence. When I told a non-gamer that I was playing something called Space Marine 2, they laughed. That's the kinda title they make up for a fake game in a 90's movie. But I digress. It's Warhammer, so expect grim darkness, purple prose, eternal war, bright blue armor, etc. Platinum trophy ob...

    I think you could've touched on the story a bit more, not spoilers, but just how much player decision making is in the story compared to previous games. There were moments where i'd make what felt like a decision with no payoff, only for it to show back up 10 hours later in an unexpected way. Also I think the world itself needed more discussion, the fact that its as huge as it is, with no loading screens, and its all handcrafted, really put Bethesda to shame. I loved how it mixed in the old areas 1:1 like Cordon, and expanded on others like Rostok. But I agree that by the end of the story things were getting so buggy. Im almost tempted to uninstall the game and just save it for a later date now that ive finished it.

      Yeah I didn't really feel comfortable talking about the story because I only played to one of the endings... I definitely don't have a full picture of the story. But of the quests I completed, the characters and story beats felt very choppy and sudden.

    Minor nit-picks, typical launch growing pains and MIA A-Life aside I managed to have a pretty great time. Coming right off the back of a playthrough of COP and Anomaly I could feel all the improvements on the former and influence of the latter. Honestly glad that I got to even experience this game given the circumstances but I agree that a lot of the missing aspects raise an eyebrow. I'm definitely curious how the game will pan out the next time I do a full playthrough with all the updates and expansion content that would be added by then.

  • @Godless_Heathen
    @Godless_Heathen 23 дні тому

    It's the old 3D sound EAX effects that aren't properly reintegrated and enabled in the console releases that cause that lack of depth sadly. Probably for old 3D sound licensing issues or some complications with not having in depth programming controls and perhaps an incompatibility with the consoles' audio processor, or the devs couldn't be bothered to reimplement it.

    This was one of the best reviews I've seen for this game. One of the only one's to not just regurgitate the same points as all the others, and one of the few to seem to actually get what the appeal of the game actually is, as way too many people seem to say "My decisions aren't cut and dry, so this is stupid."

    Nice review. I bought the games on launch but didn't touch them, then saw there was a patch recently that added gyro aiming and thought I'd give them a go now. I actually had them already on PC, but greatly prefer couch + controller gaming. It's a hard trade off though since there's also none of the PC mods.
