A Vow of Colorful Fantastical Style
When the trailer for the game “Vow” was released, everyone in the room was initially confused. Was it Assassins Creed? Sea of Thieves? It was neither, but something entirely new. The art style was a colorful and fantastical one, a stark contrast to the darker tones of Elder Scrolls Skyrim.
The Pillars of the Universe
The game has all the pillars of the universe that will intrigue players. The question now is whether the game will execute on all the facets of the franchise and why it is so popular.
A Role Playing Game Podcast Host
Cat, the host of a role playing game podcast and a big RPG gamer, was very thrown off by the trailer. But at the end of the day, it will come down to the storytelling, the gameplay, the different class builds, and the magic. All of these elements will determine whether the game is a success or not.
Avowed: Scratching the Elder Scrolls Itch
The announcement of Obsidian’s upcoming RPG Avowed has many fans of the Elder Scrolls series hoping that it will scratch their medieval fantasy, first person RPG itch. While we wait for Elder Scrolls 6, Avowed has been met with mixed reactions.
The Art Style
PC Gamer recently published an interview with Obsidian, in which they revealed that Avowed was initially pitched as a Skyrim-sized game. However, it appears that the scope of the game is more similar to Outer Worlds. While Outer Worlds was a good game, it did feel very small and contained.
The Cinematic Trailers
The cinematic trailers for Avowed have been met with a lot of enthusiasm, but the gameplay footage has been a bit of a letdown for some. The world looks like it could be taken straight from Outer Worlds, but the gameplay has not been as exciting as some had hoped.
The
Avowed may still turn out to be a great game, but for some, investing their time in it may not be worth it when compared to the classic Skyrim. Only time will tell if Avowed can live up to the hype.
Skyrim vs Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
The modding community and community support for Skyrim is unparalleled, and it is no wonder why it is so popular. However, for some, Skyrim’s high fantasy setting and open world exploration may not be their cup of tea. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, on the other hand, offers a much more self-contained world set in the Pillars of Eternity universe.
Obsidian Entertainment, the developer of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, is known for its excellent writing, which may be a draw for some players. While Skyrim is a huge game, its writing is not as strong as that of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.
When considering value, story is a major factor. Some turn-based games have great stories, and players who don’t usually enjoy turn-based games may still be drawn to them. If Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire has a good story, it may be worth playing, even if the gameplay is similar to that of Skyrim.
Ultimately, it is up to the individual player to decide which game is right for them. Both Skyrim and Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire offer unique experiences, and players should consider their own preferences before making a decision.
Obsidian’s New RPG
Obsidian Entertainment recently announced their new RPG, and fans are already buzzing with excitement. The game is set to be smaller than Skyrim, but more focused, and the writing is expected to be strong. With first person spell casting, the combat is sure to be engaging.
Clockwork Revolution
In addition to Obsidian’s game, Brian Fargo and the team at inExile are also working on two Unreal Engine 5 role playing games. One of them is not a Fallout remake, but the other, Clockwork Revolution, looks great. Fans are eager to hear more about the game and what it has to offer.
With two new role playing games on the horizon, fans of the genre have plenty to look forward to. Obsidian’s game promises to be an engaging experience with strong writing, while Clockwork Revolution looks to be a totally new experience. It’s an exciting time for RPG fans, and they can’t wait to see what the future holds.
The steampunk aesthetic, the time manipulation elements, and the sheer scope of the game were all incredibly impressive.
Steampunk Aesthetic
The steampunk aesthetic of BioShock Infinite was one of the highlights of the game. With its unique rail system and other elements, the game was able to stand out from the crowd. It was a refreshing change from the traditional video game aesthetic, and it was something that fans of the series had been hoping to see from Exile.
Time Manipulation
The time manipulation elements of the game were also incredibly unique. This was something that had never been seen before in a video game, and it was something that made the game stand out from the rest. It was a great addition to the game, and it was something that made the game even more interesting.
Gameplay Loop
The gameplay loop of the game was also incredibly impressive. Players were able to acquire a variety of weapons and items, and the most powerful items were incredibly impressive. This was something that made the game even more enjoyable, and it was something that made the game stand out from the rest.

The Steampunk Universe of Exile
Exile is a new game that has been making waves in the gaming community. It has a steampunk vibe, with its setting up in the clouds, and many have compared it to the popular Bioshock series. The game also features time manipulation, which adds an extra layer of complexity to the puzzles and challenges the player to come up with creative solutions.
Steampunk has been around for a few years, but it has been a while since it has been featured in a game. Exile looks to be a great example of the genre, with its shiny visuals and darker tones when time is turned back. The story of the game is still a mystery, but it looks to be an intriguing one.
Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind Torment, Tides of Numenera, and Wasteland 3, are the ones behind Exile. They are known for their ambitious mechanics, and this game looks to be no exception. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
The release window for Exile is still a mystery, with the studio only saying that it will be ready “in due time”. Some have speculated that this could mean 2026 or beyond.
Hellblade 2: A Look at the Time Traveling Mechanics

The game is set to be released in 2024, and it looks to be a continuation of the first game. The first game was praised for its psychological elements, as actual psychologists were brought on to help create a realistic portrayal of psychosis.
Time Traveling Mechanics
The trailer for Hellblade 2 showcased the time traveling mechanics of the game. It looks to be a continuation of the elements from the first game, with the same focus on the effects of psychosis.
The trailer also showed off the otherworldly elements of the game, with beautiful visuals and effects. Fans are excited to see more of the game, and are looking forward to playing the first game in order to get the full experience.

Overall, the trailer for Hellblade 2 has been met with excitement and anticipation. Fans are looking forward to the release of the game in 2024, and are hoping for more action-packed scenes in the future.
Hellblade 2: A Look at the Trailer
It looks absolutely beautiful and we’re all excited to see more. We wish we had gotten a little bit more action, but we’re glad that as we’re playing the trailer again for everyone, we were able to get a demo of the psychosis voices again.
The First Hellblade
I played the first one through twice and I really adored it. I highly recommend playing through the first one, especially as it’ll set up this one. One of the things I know about Hellblade 2 is that they’ve reworked the combat, which was one of the weaker points in the first game. I’m really hoping that they’re able to do something unique or improved at a bare minimum, but if they can really nail that aspect of it, they already have the storytelling and the psychosis-like hooks that creep you out the whole way.
Sound Design
I love the sound design in Hellblade 2. It’s really good and playing that game with headphones is a remarkable experience.
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a demo that was recently revealed, but it doesn’t give us much of a clear picture of what to expect. We know that it’s slated to be released in 2024, so we’ll have to wait a while for a fuller reveal.
2023 and 2024 Games
We now have a better idea of what games will be released in 2023 and 2024. We know that Forza Motorsport will be released on October 10th, and Star Field will be released on September 6th. If you pay for the more expensive version, you can play it a few days early. 2024 will also have a few first-party games released.
Metaphor: Re Fantasio
At the insistence of Cat Bailey, we now turn to Metaphor: Re Fantasio. This game was first announced as Project Re Fantasy in 2016, and it has been missing in action for several years. It’s created by one of the creators of Persona 5, and it has built a passionate audience. This game could be the sleeper of the show, as it looks very similar to Persona 5.
