    Game News The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk releasing on August 27th

    The original material, the french audio chronicle, is not really for kids, a little bit on the sarcastic side, many jokes are more directed on veteran tabletop RPG players, reminding player reactions when the GM put them in situations... Naheulbeuk has its' own song band, with songs talking...

    Game News Bard's Tale IV Kickstarter Update #55: Director's Cut coming in June

    Reading so much negativity for this game makes me post a comment : Just wanted to say I REALLY enjoyed BT4. I'm an old gamer, played HUNDREDS of CRPGs (litteraly) since 1984, finished BT1 to BT3, but whatever different it is, I think BT4 is a great game. Combat is fun, addictive, turn based...

    Game News ELEX RELEASED

    I'm playing the game. Easy to review : It's basically a Gothic 1/2 style game with a bigger world, nicer graphics, and a sort of (quite uninspired) Science Fantasy twist. A pure PB product. If you enjoy Piranha Bytes games, you will enjoy Elex. If you're a PB hater, you will hate the game...

    Game News Darkest Dungeon Released

    I didn't want to try the game in its' early access, and tried it yesterday evening on final release. Enjoying it a lot so far. Managing adventurers stress before their hitpoints (better dead than mad)... Not the game of the decade, (exploration is completely meaningless) but its' combat and...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Darth Roxor on Disappointment, thy name is Pillars of Eternity

    Can't understand the whole tone of this review. As I completely agree Pillars is not the best RPG ever (some arguments & critics in the review are valid), the whole fully negative tone given by this review is not really giving this game justice. Obsidian announced and sold the game as a...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Wasteland 2

    Good point. You're true. Except for the first perso view, step based movements, the two games are quite different and focus to different gameplay strengh. Wizardry is more on character management/combat and LoG is more on puzzles. Wow. Very interesting comment. Very constructive. Very smart...

    Yes, Wizardry isn't limited to Wiz8. I was talking about Wizardry 1-5. Wiz6-8 is quite different...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Wasteland 2

    The game list was given as an example of true RPG games, not to be talked about which was better... Funny some of you think those games are "the reasons the RPG is said to be dead". Maybe those are in fact the reason why the RPG genre is still alive ! About the phrase : "not bad but it aint...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Wasteland 2

    "RPGs have essentially been dead since 2005". "Wasteland 2 is the second game and the instigator of what is probably an RPG renaissance".... Hmmm... OK, it's ONE of the instigator of what is an RPG renaissance, but you can't say RPGs have essentially been dead since 2005. What about Fallout...

    Interview Matt Chat 217: Guido Henkel's Early Days

    Err, which french RPG ? I'm french, but can't think of a single "weird" french RPG... The only french RPGs which come in mind for me are Silver, Darkstone, Arx Fatalis, Mars War Logs, Of Orcs & Men, but I don't think they are weird. Dishonored may be considered as weird, but it's hardly a RPG...

    Preview RPG Codex Hands-on Preview: Might & Magic X: Legacy

    Hmmm... The Might & Magic serie was never really focused on logical puzzles, but on combat & exploration. That's the reason why I always had mixed feelings about this serie. IMHO There were much better turn based 3D RPGs where you had to use your mind...

    Information Anvil of Dawn released on GOG

    I don't agree. Same combat system as other old dungeon crawlers : Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Lands of Lore, and the more recent Grimrock. I think it's neither better, nor worse than the other ones...

    Information Anvil of Dawn released on GOG

    Enjoyed Anvil of Dawn very much at its' release. It was not stellar but very good. Dungeon Master style / dungeon crawling gameplay. I never understood the negative reviews...
