Atlas Fallen Review

Players will step into the shoes of a refugee stuck in a camp that is hanging on by a thread. The camp’s soldiers abuse and use the inhabitants for their own means. However, when something is stolen from camp, players will set out to find the thief. From there, one is called by something known as “The Voice,” leading players to a magical Gauntlet. Using this Gauntlet, you can access newfound weapons and skills to fight back against the Wraiths surrounding your camp. After this, you eventually find the thief, and your camp is wiped out by what is known as a Watcher.

Escaping the Watcher, players will then enter a large desert filled with more Wraiths and Watchers. Coming across a small town of survivors trying to find their way out of the desert, they turn to the player and their Gauntlet to escape.

Before one can do that, however, players will need to power up and do some side missions.

Atlas Fallen’s open-world has plenty to see, but it’s also pretty generic. Most side quests involve finding someone, killing something, or powering yourself up. Some early quests feel more like additional tutorials than actual quests. Still, getting the power-ups is the only way to survive some of the harder enemies and boss fights. You grind the quests to get more essence, and from there can upgrade your armor and Gauntlet stones.

The stones are how you get new skills and passive buffs, including more damage, higher defense, and better counterattacks. Unlike most games, you don’t unlock these by leveling up. Instead, you must find blueprints and fuse them or find the skills in chests. You can equip up to three skills and eight buffs at a time, leaving plenty of room for experimentation. Once I found what worked for me, I rarely switched unless it was to do more damage to flying enemies (because screw flying enemies).

While exploring, other things to do include traversal puzzles, animal discovery, elite enemy fights, and Watcher Tower destruction. Animals lead you to chests and sometimes rare materials for upgrades. Elite enemies are like they sound: mini-bosses with more skill stones and upgrade stones. The puzzles are hit-and-miss, but most of them are following one line to another, then another, and another within a specific time limit. The Towers have you facing waves of enemies until a boss pops up, with beating it down clearing the region of the Watcher’s influence. Everything here is pretty typical open-world checklist stuff.

The combat itself is fast and hectic. At first, you can easily spam attacks and bust enemies into pieces. However, as you progress, enemies start having certain body parts that must be destroyed to kill them. This is fine on land since you can move around quickly and destroy pieces, but air enemies are different. You have multiple air dashes and double jumps, but maneuvering the air against enemies is never fun. It’d work great if you could just hit wherever you wanted and destroy enemies. I’m not sure why the “breaking parts” system was needed; it just drags the combat down.

One of the game’s best features can be found in its traversal mechanics. I already mentioned the sand surfing, but the vertical movement is also excellent. You start off with a double jump and one dash. As you upgrade, you can do multiple jumps and dashes in mid-air. It is fluid and precise, allowing for sudden direction changes if needed. There is one downside to this freedom, though. You will often run into invisible walls or slide down mountainsides that you think you can climb. It’s annoying, but you get used to it.

Tech-wise, I did have a few frame drops. I also had one crash, but thankfully the auto-save functionality only brought me back about a minute.

While Atlas Fallen is a perfectly fine game, fine doesn’t quite cut it in 2023. If you’re dying to hunt down Wraiths, wait for a discount first.

How To Respec In Baldur’s Gate 3

In order to respec you are going to need to find the undead Withers. Warp to the Overgrown Ruins way point and you can pick the lock of the door nearby. Withers is inside of that area so you have to get through. On the other side you will enter some ruins with a ton of traps. You can disable them, but the main purpose is to get to the other side.

Enter the next room and go to the back area. There is a lever back there that opens a secret room. Interact with the coffin inside and then defeat the undead. Withers will be in the coffin and he will join you at camp eventually. When Withers gets to your camp, you can have him change your class for 100 gold.

So it is pretty safe to say that Volo has no idea what he is doing. If you let him try to remove it, he will hit your optic nerve instead and you will have to sit through a lot of pain. I’m pretty sure he even lobotomizes you at one point. If you endure it though you do wake up with only one eye, which would normally be a problem.

Volo however has a magic eye that he gives you so you can see normally. This eye also lets you see invisible creatures, which is very powerful in the Underdark. So your best option is to actually endure Volo mutilating you to get a bonus magic eye.

What Happens If You Give Your Eye To The Hag In Baldur’s Gate 3

Once you find the Hag, she will offer to remove the Tadpole if you give her your eye. If you give her your eye, she will ask you which one you want to give up. That choice doesn’t matter, just determines which eye if effected. She will remove it and you will get a green eye in return, one that glows. The Hag will then hold up her end of the bargain and attempt to remove the tadpole.

Unfortunately, the Hag didn’t realize how strong your Tadpole is and refuses to remove it once she finds out. She will then hand you an item and warp away. The item gives you advantage on all checks until your next long rest once used. The eye gives you +1 to intimidation, but gives you disadvantage on perception checks and disadvantage on attacks against Hags.

So she doesn’t help you and disadvantage on perception checks is a terrible debuff. Handing your eye over ti the Hag is not worth it in my opinion. Maybe if you kill her then it cures, but I am not sure.

What Happens If You Open The Caravan Chest In Baldur’s Gate 3

You can choose to leave the chest alone and help the guys. If you do this they will give you a password to a secret drinking spot and ask you to join them for a drink.

If you touch the chest, they will warn you once. If you touch it again, the two of them wills tart a fight with you and try to kill you. Defeat them, loot the area, and then you need to pick the lock on the chest or drag it with you.

If you open the chest there is some gold, a gem, and what is known as an Iron Flask. This is a real DND item but this Flask has something in it already. If you throw it out, a level 5 (at least it was 5 for me) Spectator will spawn and go on a rampage. I was able to kill it, but it does multiple beam attacks that can paralyze, sleep, and damage. Also it can fly. I got nothing off the body, so I don’t recommend tossing it for nothing.

I’ll update once I get to Baldur’s Gate and someone inevitable comes after me for the Flask.

Take the Vial Of Smoke Powder Or Attack In Baldur’s Gate 3

After you find the Gnome with the Smoke Powder, she will basically threaten to blow everyone up. If you push her far enough, she will actually do it and destroy all the Smoke Powder and herself. Your best bet is to talk her down and have her offer one vial. She doesn’t like the idea of you freeing the True Soul trapped within, but it’s either that or blowing herself up.

She will hand you the Smoke Powder and tell you to tell the other Gnome that she is gone. She will take off and you can loot the room if you want. If you try to take more she’ll blow the whole room up and you along with it. I survived the explosion, but the True Soul and other Gnomes didn’t.

Take the Vial Of Smoke Powder Or Attack In Baldur’s Gate 3

Alright so busting through that rubble is no easy task. First chat with the gnome, hopefully you hear them talking about Smoke Powder. If not you can maybe see some other Gnomes through the True Soul’s eye and convince them Gnomes that way. If none of that works, you’ll have to risk it without the Gnomes help.

Head back down to where you came in at (the area with the ship) and there are two doors you can go through on the other side. Inside one of them you will find what looks to be a feasting hall. At the end of that room there is a button to reveal a hidden door. Follow that path around and you’ll fight some slimes, so be ready.

Kill them and keep going up, jumping the gap and following the torch up further. You’ll hit another door, unlock it and inside you’ll find the Gnome with the Smoke Powder. Convince her to stand down and she will offer you one vial if she can leave. Take the offer, because if not she blows herself up and you along with it.

Return to the rubble, toss the Smoke Powder onto the pile, wait for the people to clear out, then hit it with fire. From there you have a choice to make. After the True Soul kicked my Gnome homie into the lava it was war for me.

Remnant 2 Review

The plot of Remnant 2 is pretty simple: The Root has taken over Earth, and you and a few other survivors must fight back. While searching for supplies, you and a fellow survivor stumbled into a settlement called Ward 13. It’s basically a shipping yard with containers and a few buildings. Here you meet up with Ford, who shows you the World Stone and how to use it. With this, you are able to set out to find your missing friend and clear out some Root.

From there, the story will vary from player to player due to how things are set up. My first area was a forest zone where an eternal struggle between something known as the Doe and the Ravager has been going on. Our other editor ended up on this dying planet where a giant creature wanted him to find some Star Seeds. You eventually see all the zones, but your story and how you get there is random. Most of the game is procedurally generated, which works for the most part. I did occasionally get lost using the map, due to the placement.

Remnant 2 is best described as Dark Souls with guns. The combat is brutal and quick, leaving you dead if you don’t react quickly enough. The dodge is generous, but you can still go down in a couple of hits. The shooting is on point, and unloading a clip into an enemy feels excellent. You also get abilities from the classes you take. For instance, I had a dog that could bring me back up if I went down or attack enemies. They took what made the original Remnant good and improved it, which is exactly what I wanted.

As for classes, those are new to the series. At the start, you can choose from four different archetypes that will give you certain buffs and skills. You start with the dog handler, the gunslinger, the medic, and the challenger (melee class for those crazy enough to want to play that). There are also other classes you can unlock as you play the game. Some of them are VERY hidden, which I respect. Do you think Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will let you miss Vincent or Yuffie? Not a chance. Players willing to explore are rewarded.

To encourage this exploration, you get what is called Adventure mode. So I told you the story splits depending on the planet you start on. Well, there are multiple different storylines on the planets as well. For instance, while I was in Losomn, I was asked to find evidence against a king. When I returned to Adventure mode, I was in a city instead of a palace like before. The king wasn’t even mentioned this time, and I found an insane asylum in the city instead. That is just one example of many; I’m still not sure I’ve seen them all.

Puzzles in Remnant 2 are both more difficult and less frequent. Alternate boss kills were a big thing in the original, and Remnant 2 still has them; just far less frequently. There is a new inspect mode for items that aren’t used much but is a cool new feature. Mostly you are putting together cryptic clues or looking for specific keys for puzzles. That’s not to say that they are bad; I just felt like there weren’t as many. Also, Ward 13 only has a couple of puzzles in this game, which is a bummer.

There are quite a few weapons in the game. You have the stand assault rifles, snipers and hunting rifles, shotguns, LMGs, and even some bows. I started as the Handler, and they started with an assault rifle. I never switched my gun until I beat the game. Everything else I came across fired too slow for my liking, or were the LMG which took forever to reload. I’m also not sure if I had bad luck or what, but nearly every weapon I found in the worlds was a bow or crossbow, and I had no interest in those. I eventually switched after some boss Alt Kills, but the AR is the way to go.

To go along with your weapons are your weapon mods. These are extra abilities on each of your guns; think fire bullets, grenade shots, summoning vine allies, or shields. You need to kill the bosses and return to Ward 13 to get them made. While there are a ton to choose from, I still stuck with fire bullets, just like I did the last game. Combo that with acid bullets on my sidearm, and I still melt enemies. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – that’s my motto.

There were some tech issues I ran into. I did have a few crashes (after reviewing this game, I am replacing my PlayStation 5, so I’m not 100% sure it was the game). I also encountered several frame drops, especially when bosses were doing big moves. We also ran into the bug where an enemy would be stuck somewhere, and we couldn’t use the world stone since we were still stuck in combat. There were some minor annoyances, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the game.

I find myself thinking this about a lot of games this year, but in a weaker year Remnant 2 could be a GOTY contender. Don’t hesitate to check it out if you like these types of games.

Exoprimal Review

The story is Exoprimal is pretty wild: In the near future, portals start to appear on Earth that spew out dinosaurs. Instead of becoming extinct ourselves, humans fight back to push back the dinos. To do this, the human race made Exosuits (mechs) to even the odds. Thankfully you also have an AI that can detect the portals before the dinosaurs come out. Using that knowledge, you go from mission to mission to push back the scourge.

Exoprimal is a third-person shooter at its core, but you can also use melee. Each Exosuit you can use is basically a class and has different abilities and weapons you can use. The assault classes are meant for damage and typically have explosions, strong rifles, and evasion skills. Tanks are the tanks and get shields and crowd control. Supports heal you up and buff you while doing a little bit of damage. Each role works fine, but the game’s repetitive nature means you’ll likely only play a few of them.

The best feature of the game is the special abilities of the Exosuits. Each has a unique skill that you can get once or twice a match if you are lucky, dishing out damage and looking pretty in the process. One of them is just a barrage of endless bullets shredding dinos. One of the tanks can call in an air strike that will decimate everything it hits. For me? It’s all about the tornado spin. One of the tanks spins in place, gathering up dinosaurs around it in a vortex, and can then shoot the tornado out. It feels good to use every time.

I’m not sure how many maps the game has, but they all start to blend together after a few hours. I just played a match where I was about to load into a new area, only to load right back where I was and have new objectives spawn, making the load completely pointless. Speaking of loading, it takes far too long to get into a match. I’m unsure if it’s a lack of players or poor servers, but I shouldn’t have to wait over a minute to find a lobby.

Exoprimal is supposed to be a competitive game where teams race to complete objectives faster than the other team. If you fall behind, your team gets a dinosaur ally that one player can be. Being the dinosaur is the funnest part of the game. From my experience, the team who gets the dinosaur not only catches up, but also gets ahead and wins. It’s almost a better strategy to lose the first few rounds to get the dinosaur and wreck the enemy team with it. Alternatively, a noob takes the dino and dies in less than 30 seconds.

The upgrades and progression are also dull. You get new decals for your suit, new colors, emotes, some minor upgrades, and charms. There are no new guns or parts you can switch out on your Exosuit; it feels like they shouldn’t have even bothered including mechs if you can’t do that. Oh, but don’t worry; there is a paid battle pass that also unlocks avatars and exclusive skins. Killing dinosaurs can only carry a game so far.

Speaking of killing dinosaurs, they don’t spawn enough. Sometimes you have to kill 200 to move onto the objective. However, they don’t all spawn at once, instead dropping piecemeal with 20-30 at a time. The game feels like it’s caught between being something similar to Earth Defense Force and a horde-mode game. As is often the case with trying to do multiple things, it gets neither right. I actually think this game would have been better as a wave survival game. Tech-wise, I didn’t run into any frame drops, crashes, or bugs.

Exoprimal was clearly designed to be free-to-play, and much like Capcom’s other competitive multiplayer offerings, I kept trying to find a hook. It’s worth a go on Xbox Game Pass, but this dinosaur just can’t beat the kings of the genre.
