#Blud is an action RPG with vampiric overtones and is the debut game from Exit 73 studios. In our review, we talked about how the game touches on nostalgia, but also brings back some of those classic 90s TV Series vibes as well. It also features a unique usage of social media, as its X/Twitter-like program can be used both to post selfies but also to keep track of sidequests.

Recently, we chatted with the heads of Exit 73 studios to discuss the long journey of #BLUD from short video to full release.

#BLUD on PC

A young freshman girl moves to a small town where, together with her classmates, she’ll discover her true calling: killing vampires. Indeed, if that sounds familiar or if it reminded you of a 90s TV series, then you are on the right track to what #BLUD is trying to evoke. But is this cartoony action RPG worth your time, or is that neck better saved for another bite?

Becky Brewster is a tiny but brave kid, living alone with her father, she still never leaves her mom’s grimoire behind. While it might look like an everyday recipe book, the book is actually all about the killing of things that go bump in the night. Along with, well, some recipes as well. It won’t be long before that grimoire will get some use, as Becky will discover that a vampire apocalypse is about to hit the town and no one but her can get those bloodsuckers to go back where they came from.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Review – Deeper Pleasures, Deeper Agony https://twinfinite.net/reviews/shin-megami-tensei-v-vengeance-review/ https://twinfinite.net/reviews/shin-megami-tensei-v-vengeance-review/#respond Wed, 12 Jun 2024 14:00:00 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1085323 Back with a ... well, vengeance.]]>

Released in 2021, Shin Megami Tensei V, designed by SMT IV director Kazuyuki Yamai, featured the return of several gameplay features and a storyline all about the clash between angels and demons. Being originally announced as a Switch exclusive in 2017, it suffered quite a few development problems, coming out only four years later. Now SMT V is back, with a re-release bringing a brand-new storyline, a few QoL features, and, of course, a PC/console release. But is it worth your time or is this only for hardcore fans? Let’s head to the Netherworld and find out.

Shin Megami Tensei V brings the classic JRPG vibe that you might be familiar with if you’ve ever played a Persona title. Explore a huge location, solve quests, get into fights, and level up your character and his party. While the story begins in the same way as the original, with an ordinary Japanese student being transported into the Netherworld and fused with a god to form a new being called the Nahobino, after a few hours the game will start bringing in the new storyline.

The Rogue Prince of Persia Early Access Review – Clearing the Sands of Time https://twinfinite.net/reviews/the-rogue-prince-of-persia-early-access-review/ https://twinfinite.net/reviews/the-rogue-prince-of-persia-early-access-review/#respond Mon, 27 May 2024 10:20:54 +0000 https://twinfinite.net/?p=1079210 Time to get all roguelike again.]]>

The Rogue Prince of Persia Early Access on PC

The Prince of Persia series is definitely back with a vengeance. After the recent 2D take on the franchise, The Lost Crown, and while we are still waiting for the infamous Sands of Time remake, Ubisoft has given free rein to an entirely different dev team for their unique take.

The result is a different vibe and atmosphere, plus a style of gameplay claimed right in the title, The Rogue Prince of Persia. Would you want to dive into this new take on the franchise, or better stick to its classic roots?

What’s in a name? Well, there is much to it, as a name can not only mean a variety of things, but also communicate your “gamer intent”.

Let’s take a look at our top 100 amazing Xbox names and find out which one might be the best for you!
