Death Stranding Review: Delivering Greatness

November 13, 2019 GideonsGaming

Death Stranding is an interesting game. It is a big name triple A title that scoffs at mainstream appeal. The game-play will absolutely not connect with everyone. That doesn’t make it bad by any means, but it is incredibly rare to see that done in one of the biggest releases of a generation. For the sake of this review, I need to spoil some game-play aspects, but I keep story spoilers to a minimum.

Yes, Video Games Need To Be Fun

November 12, 2019 GideonsGaming

I’m 31, I’ve been gaming since I was a wee-lad. In that time I’ve witnessed all kinds of debates about gaming as a whole. This is one of the strangest. I never thought I’d need to write an article where I say that Video Games need to be fun. That’s kind of assumed? Cars need to drive, Boats need to float. Entertainment products need to entertain.

The Outer Worlds Review: It’s Not The Best Choice!

October 31, 2019 GideonsGaming

The Outer Worlds is a first-person shooting RPG with a huge focus on player choice. Your character has just enough background to get them started leaving with the player to dictate the rest. You choose their skills, dialogue choices and play style. What kind of company they keep, who to aid and who to give the middle finger.

Worbitals Console Release: Why You Should Play it.

October 18, 2019 GideonsGaming

Worbitals console version is nearly identical to the PC version. My review of the PC version is completely relevant to the console version and I recommend you check it out if you haven’t already. The biggest difference is the control scheme. Thankfully Worbital works great on controllers. I had no trouble adapting to it, despite having put in hours upon hours of Worbital with a keyboard and mouse.

Driven Out Review: A Lesson In Patience

October 17, 2019 GideonsGaming

Driven Out is a simple game. You traverse the 2D world in a side-scrolling fashion and kill things with your sword. You can perform a high, low and middle block as well as a high, low and middle attack. Time your block just right and you perform a parry. However, the game’s concept is one of brutal difficulty and pattern recognition.

Gideon’s Top 5 Survival Games

There is something attractive about a game that tosses you into a hostile world and simply says, survive. The genre isn’t for everyone but I find the concept of attempting to survive against dangers that can have permanent consequences thrilling.

Accessibility and Difficulty are not the same.

September 30, 2019 GideonsGaming

I tried to avoid this topic when Sekiro first released, but it has continually come up throughout the industry over and over again and it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Before I share my perspective of the matter, let’s blow some minds right out of the gate.

Baldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus Review

September 23, 2019 GideonsGaming

Descent into Avernus has been noted as D&D meets Mad Max. This adventure is a more mature one, but most of its content by default is around a PG:13 rating which can obviously be raised or lowered by the DM. It is meant to be an intense and challenging adventure where player characters are often in over their heads.

Crying Suns Review: Dark Space Rogue-lite.

September 19, 2019 GideonsGaming

Crying Suns is a tactical and tough game. It features difficulty settings, but its nature as a rogue-lite means you can expect to fail quite a bit. The game separate’s itself from those that inspire it by weaving a deep story-line and a ton of lore into its randomly generated chaos.

GreedFall Review: Ambitious Diplomacy.

September 16, 2019 GideonsGaming

You play as De Sardet. The legate of the Merchant congregation. A phrase you are going to hear frequently. De Sardet is customizable in both appearance and abilities. The character features separate voice actors depending on what you choose. The voice talent in the game is fantastic, this is very important because the game is very dialogue-heavy.
