Revenge Of The Savage Planet Is A Surprising Sequel To A Great Metroidvania

Olympic Fencer Thought He Was In Street Fighter For A Sec
29.7.2024
I’m convinced that this year’s Olympics are for the gamers. A while ago, a runner who was on his way to the Olympics kept flashing Yu-Gi-Oh cards before his races. Then, the Games actually began with an apparent nod to Assassin’s Creed, complete with rooftop parkour and hooded figures. There...

Zatímco Ubisoft v uplynulých dnech detailněji představil Assassin’s Creed Shadows zasazený do feudálního Japonska, v jednom z posledních trailerů vynechal akci a soustředil se na nádherně kýčovité záběry herního prostředí. Ani v tomto případě se ovací nedočkal
