Discover The Eternal Life of Goldman: A Thought-Provoking Platformer

GenjiTalkGames - My Thoughts on The Eternal Life of Goldman I recently had the opportunity to read about The Eternal Life of Goldman, a platformer adventure game from developer Weappy Studio and publisher THQ Nordic. The game features an elderly protagonist, which is a refreshing change from the typical young and agile characters found in most games. A Unique Protagonist with a Multi-faceted Tool The old man protagonist is equipped with a walking stick that can be upgraded with various parts, allowing for new abilities such as bouncing and interacting with floating platforms. The game's world is designed with a central hub and linear progression, eliminating the need for backtracking. Stunning Visuals and Existential Philosophy The game's hand-drawn visuals are reminiscent of an old animated movie, while its gameplay is more approachable than other classic platformers. The story explores the meaning of life and death through ancient fables, which I find particularly intriguing. With its unique blend of gameplay, visuals, and thought-provoking plot, I am excited to learn more about The Eternal Life of Goldman.

Firewalk’s Debut Title Concord Shut Down After Poor Sales

GenjiTalkGames - Firewalk's Debut Title Concord Shut Down: A Cautionary Tale Concord, the debut title from Firewalk Studios, has been pulled from stores and shut down due to poor sales. This decision comes after the game's underwhelming launch, despite initial enthusiasm from PlayStation, who partnered with Firewalk in 2021 and later acquired the studio in 2023. Avoidable Tragedy The shutdown of Concord raises questions about the game's development and launch strategy. Was the game's failure inevitable, or could it have been avoided with a different approach? The release date, premium price tag, and short marketing campaign all seemed to work against the game. A Lesson for Developers The story of Concord serves as a cautionary tale for game developers, highlighting the importance of careful planning and execution. It also raises questions about the role of publishers and the impact of their decisions on game development.

Once Human Season 2 Receives Negative Feedback

GenjiTalkGames - Once Human Season 2 Gets a Thumbs Down from Fans NetEase's survival free-to-play horror game, Once Human, has received largely negative feedback on its second season. Starry Studio, the developer behind the game, recently acknowledged the criticisms and expressed gratitude for the fans' opinions. Dissatisfying Experience According to the team, some of the feedback received has been quite demoralizing, but they value their players' opinions and hope to incorporate their requests in future updates. The team identified two major issues that have been affecting players: poorly designed weapon builds and a lack of high-difficulty scenario tags. Planned Improvements To address these issues, the team is introducing a blueprint conversion system that will allow players to switch armor and weapon ratings, enabling them to create more tailored loadouts. Additionally, they are conducting a survey to gather feedback on how to improve scenario tags. Disappointing Launch I previously reviewed Once Human, giving it a modest three out of five stars, citing its weak action and generic clutter as drawbacks. The team's response to fan feedback is a step in the right direction, but it remains to be seen whether they can effectively address these issues.
