PlayStation VR2 Coming for PS5
The year 2022 may have just started, but gaming will never end; it’s only going to get better from here on out. Our friends at Sony Interactive Entertainment are already on the ball with their recent addition to the PlayStation family: The PlayStation VR2 for the PlayStation 5!
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok on PS5
With the undisclosed information about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update, Ubisoft has released the worldwide trailer for the new DLC, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok.
Odin then draws and charges a bow with what looks like ice force back at a fire enemy shooting fire at him.
Then he attacks and absorbs a fire foe.
Odin then charges his weapons with fire force as he approaches the boss foe a fire giant.
If element fighting is any, it may be that you will need both powers to block and damage the boss foe. Time will tell.
All in, with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarok. This latest DLC has the thrill of a new PS5 game launch. Also, it would be thrilling to learn of Odin’s blood line being tied to the current day. With assassins creed and Valhalla fight expectations as well. And the possibility to learn about miles and storyline. The Dawn of Ragnarok DLC is expect to be released on March 10, 2022.

First Reaction to news of an Update for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
With the trailer launching, all we can think is, do I need to get the assassins creed main game completed in order to play the Dawn of Ragnarok? And how long will it take to fully get back to fighting fit to play like I did when the game is released.Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok Trailer
Starts Before the Fall As the world ends All around Odin
Knowing what is to come has got to be like a watched pot for Odin. The Trailer opens up with a peaceful setting that begins to crumble all around Valhalla. As Odin battles those around him, he begins absorbing an enemy into himself.
Odin Absorbs Ice and Fire Powers from His Foes
From the trailer we can only get that Odin will have the power to absorb ice foes to attack with ice powers. And attack fire foes for Fire powers.
Odin then draws and charges a bow with what looks like ice force back at a fire enemy shooting fire at him.
Then he attacks and absorbs a fire foe.
Odin then charges his weapons with fire force as he approaches the boss foe a fire giant.
New Boss to Defeat
In the original gameplay of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Odin or havi fight with an ice giant after he steals mead from the vault. In this trailer , it seems like a completely different interaction. Less relying on past skills and focused more on new powers. This fire giant also appears to be a much greater foe from the first giant battles.
If element fighting is any, it may be that you will need both powers to block and damage the boss foe. Time will tell.
Verdict on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok for PS5
All in, with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Dawn of Ragnarok. This latest DLC has the thrill of a new PS5 game launch. Also, it would be thrilling to learn of Odin’s blood line being tied to the current day. With assassins creed and Valhalla fight expectations as well. And the possibility to learn about miles and storyline. The Dawn of Ragnarok DLC is expect to be released on March 10, 2022.
Tribes of Midgard Season 2: Serpent Saga Starts December 14
Tribes of Midgard Season 2: Serpent Saga New Breaks
After 100 hours of Tribes of Midgard, it is exciting to hear that season 2 is starting up with new features, areas, bosses, and abilities for gameplay. Tribes of Midgard Season 2: The Serpent Saga is launching on Tuesday, December 14 on PlayStation 5, and is free to all players who already own the game.The current season 1 of tribes of Midgard is a world-based challenge that starts with you attempting to craft up weapons, working within your tribe to explore and conquer every area on the map. With night battles and Jotunn giant trying to destroy your seed of Yggdrasil.With the Serpent Saga coming December 14th, here’s some quick reminders!
🗺️ Worlds will reset with the Saga 2 update 💰 There will be a brand new Rewards Track 🔁 Your Season Level will reset 🐺 Fenrir will still be in Midgard ⛵️ Yes, you can swim More: https://t.co/a8UAmhBn0p pic.twitter.com/rSPClKFmid — Tribes of Midgard (@tribesofmidgard) December 4, 2021
New Players to Tribes of Midgard
One piece of advice that I have for every person I suggest to play, make sure you have at least an hour. In season 1, crafting, building, fighting, protecting the village, and fighting Jo is a long process that you get lost in. You will not notice until an hour goes by that you have been playing for this long. The newest updates to Tribes of Midgard will make gameplay a lot better as they correct elements missing from season 1. The newest features include Boating, swimming, and the Saga 2 boss.Season 2 allows Viking to Swim
Swimming hands down is the ability they are giving the Vikings. I cannot stress how many times I had to decide on whether or not to completely abandon my chest after falling off a cliff into the ocean from dodging an enemy attack. Now, instead of the sad acknowledgment of a lost chest, I’ll be able to retrieve my lost chest on a cliff. Wait, what happens if you cannot make it to shore and you drown? Do you lose your gear when you drown? Well, it will be worth finding out in gameplay.
What Boating means to Tribe of Midgard
Resources may be required from Day 1, to ensure developing a boat as the days continue. Current screenshots show a design element in boat crafting. I am sure like with clothing selections, boats will have a preset element to them. Another thought is, will boats automatically come to you, or if you abandon ship, will you have to travel back to your boat no matter where you left it? Another thought is, will you be able to teleport to your boat from your village?
Ocean Trails and Bosses
With the ability to build and operate a boat in the Tribes of Midgard, we will be able to explore vast lands and obstacles where the ocean is required. If the mythology holds out, we may face snake-like monsters on the water, giants who freeze the ocean to cross it, and more. There is also a possibility of discovering small island installations with treasure or a hord sea monsters to defeat for treasure.New Saga Bosses
The open ocean is vast and endless as are the mythical beasts that inhabit it. The new saga bosses may have an element of water that could manifest in the center of the map’s ocean. Getting there may be the only way to defeat the saga boss in season 2. It has been said that they will keep the saga boss Fenrir. Meaning you planning to attack saga bosses could come down to going to one before the other. It may also be that Fenrir will be easier to defeat in season 2 as the level for the season 2 saga boss would have to be higher.
Other addons to Tribes of Midgard Season 2: The Serpent Saga include that will now have 40 of Runes for use in gameplay as well as the expected new gifts and pets within the Yule of Yggdrasil seasonal yulidays.
Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Early Access
Today is the start of Early Access with Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker, and it has been along time since I was “players in queue: 2813” on PS5. The highly anticipated release has players standing online to play and at all hour of the morning. At the end of the day it is the still jam packed with players. The Server has kicked me off a number of times on PS5 while waiting on a 1,000+ players in queue.
During the trip to Sharlayan, the Solitary Island Nation, you head to the front of the ship to your surprise you meeting the Lady of Light (not going to spoil that for you, but am glad it happened right out of the gate). The game story setup is definitely shocking considering who previously represented the Light.
Upon arriving, you find out that the city is not welcoming and several characters family past will be a major factor later on in the story some how. While other characters might be expelled from the city if they take one toe out of line.
Did I mention the game is jammed pack right now. Could not even click on the mission from a PS5.
Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Gameplay
Here are some the first instances of gameplay in Endwalker:

Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Early Access Verdict
Regardless of the long wait time to get onto the server and it is definitely worth it. The first 30 minutes makes you want to play straight through to level 90 over the next 72 hours. I wonder if drinking Red Bull is still a thing.Sons of the Forest – Update & Trailer
Finally!!!!! Sons of the Forest Update
We have been binge playing “The Forest” for the last six months waiting for the new trailer. The new trailer is finally here and the release date for the Sons of the Forest is set for May 20, 2022.Hey Everyone, Here is a link to our newest gameplay trailer: https://t.co/oWgnp7kffK
— Endnight Games (@EndNightGame) November 30, 2021
After being promised a third and final trailer with an official release date on Black Friday, EndNight games made us wait an additional five days. It was well worth the wait. The nearly two minute trailer showed all of the fans of the original open-world, survivor game “The Forest” that this sequel could be bigger and better.
The first upgrade you noticed in the first 30 seconds of the trailer is the attention to detail. In the “The Forest” to survive you had to boil water, hunt and skin animals, build tools etc. But there was a lot of simulation with those actions. Sons of the Forest takes it a step further by making you sharpening your handcrafted weapons, allowing you to eat raw animals (A Turtle too be exact) and building your own fires.
I can’t be the only person who laughed then smiled when the shark swam across the water in what appeared to be down in a cave. Will we finally be able to not only kill them but also eat them?
In the final scene we see the main character (presumably Timmy) battling what appears to be a main monster inside of a laboratory (presumably) We hear a voice scream “Get down son”. Is this the return of the main character from “The Forest” Eric (Timmy’s dad)? How did he get there? He wasn’t one of the people who crashed in the plane in the first trailer? Is he a playable character?
See the Full Trailer Below:
Sons of the Forest – Exclusive Official Release Date Trailer
Jurassic World Evolution 2 Review
Times are turbulent when dinosaurs are free to roam in North America. Fortunately, perilous situations often present profitable opportunities. It just so happens the player has been tasked with the job of rounding up these free roaming predators. Establishing their very own Jurassic Park just happens to be a nifty perk that comes with the assignment.
Following up with their first successful entry, the developer Frontier improves upon their initial formula for a park management simulator. This time they give the player multiple biomes to operate within instead of isolating them to the tropics. Maps have expanded in their scope. The immediate benefit is the greater amount of space to utilize for developing a successful park.
One major feature that has been added to the game is the ability to speed up time. Want a chance to admire the visuals and nifty animations of the dinosaurs? Time can also be paused to accommodate this desire. This means the player can operate at their own leisure while they explore their park without being rushed in the process. The game will also have the player hire staff, establish fences and play with genetics to make the captured (or cloned) dinosaurs more docile. These elements mean less damage to the attractions.
With the safety rating of the fences mattering in this installment, it also means you can keep your meaner dinosaurs from rampaging across the park. Then again, what are mishaps and lawsuits for if not for watching park attendees getting occasionally munched on by overgrown reptiles? Customization is highly detailed with this entry. Building colors can be altered and moved after they’ve been placed. If variety is truly the spice of life, gamers will rejoice. These elements provide the player ample opportunity to keep the setup of all the parks they’ll manage a chance to be varied. Aside from the main campaign, the game also provides alternate scenarios to the films within the Jurassic Park franchise through the Chaos Theory mode. It’s a welcome addition that adds a great deal of replay to the game.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 Graphics
The models for the dinosaurs are highly detailed. Given there are over 70 different species, this is a highly appreciated feature. Jeep excursions become more exciting when getting up close and personal with a roaring T-Rex. The biomes are beautifully detailed with a great emphasis placed on lights, colors and shadows. It’s a solid standard most players should come to expect from environments within their PS5 titles. We have to give the studio an A+ in this category.Verdict
Frontier’s Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a remarkable improvement over its first installment. With lush scenery, more options geared towards park customization and the many different modes offered within the game, this title is a must have entry for the PS5.Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Review
It’s important to mention that, Frogwares is no stranger to the character of Sherlock Holmes. Since the early part of the year 2000, they’ve been producing sleuthing adventures involving the famous, fictional detective. They’ve thrown their hat back into the ring once more. PlayStation 5 gamers will need their wits about them if they are to solve the mystery surrounding this new installment.
Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Story
The Mediterranean backdrop of Cordona offers splendid sights for the budding detective. With a sunny backdrop and a beautiful mansion, one would think the excursion would prove pleasurable. This thought is only a fantasy. It is not an enticing vacation that attracts Holmes to the island. The mystery surrounding his own mother’s untimely demise drags him onto the adventure. The intrepid player will need to master Sherlock’s skills in perception when navigating the multiple twists and turns surrounding the case. This experience includes being wary of the many false leads that crop up during the course of the story.Sherlock Holmes Chapter One Gameplay
Sherlock Holmes Chapter One gives the player many options in this open world adventure. For instance, the combat can be disabled in the game options. This is a nice inclusion for players who prefer the more investigative approach without allowing the action elements to interfere. Accompanying the detective is John. Not John Watson, but an imaginary John. He provides color commentary along with the occasional observation. Not that Sherlock is in much need of help when it comes to the deductions he’ll make on his own accord. Nonetheless, the addition is a welcome one. Most of the investigations occurring within the game are not exactly guided, so be prepared to take time thinking the solutions through when gathering clues and pursuing leads. One valuable hint we can impart is that Sherlock can don disguises. Use this feature to trick people into divulging crucial details.
Combat
Now if the player doesn’t mind getting into a fire fight, then leave the combat option on in the menu. During the open world exploration Sherlock will encounter the occasional fight with armed ruffians. The game gives the option to arrest or kill the enemy. Aside from provoking the occasional complaint from John, fatally dispatching the enemies has no bearing on the exploration. The only notable thing a player would be missing out on is cash rewards that would be yielded with a successful arrest. A reputational system would’ve been a nice addition. Still, we see why they eschewed it; the combat can be toggled off through the menu. Regardless, the addition of the action does make for a nice change of pace. Where Sherlock Holmes Chapter One excels is through the presentation. Character models and shadows look solid. The game offers a great deal of interactivity with the clues and articles that the player can examine. These elements come together to give the game an organic life of its own.Verdict
Sherlock Holmes Chapter One provides an entertaining experience with its attention to detail and emphasis on exploration. This game requires some contemplation during the investigation. Given the player is donning the role of Scotland Yard’s most famous detective, we imagine few people would want it any other way.Call of Duty Vanguard Review
Sledgehammer Games has the player locked and loaded for another round of the Call of Duty franchise. It’s a Nazi blasting adventure for the eighteenth entry in the series. With a cinematic sense of flair combined with the high adrenaline action the franchise is known for, Call of Duty Vanguard brings much excitement to the table. The whole premise of the game introduces the player to different specialists. These soldiers come together to form a special team, the titular Vanguard, to put a stop to a Nazi operation: Project Phoenix.
Vanguard Story
The developers presented the story with a non-chronological focus. The purpose behind each segment of the campaign is to familiarize the player with each member of the Vanguard. In other words, we’re given origin stories to go with the formation of our dream team. The team has a great deal of chemistry with each other. Arthur Kingsley is the protective leader. Polina Petrova serves as the aloof sniper. Lucas Riggs is the demolitions expert. Wade Jackson is the thrill-seeking pilot. Topping off the team is Richard Webb, a cynical sergeant serving as the smart guy of the unit. Together, they stumble upon Project Phoenix, an insidious plot designed by the devious Hermann Freisinger. His goal is to establish another Reich via a military coup following Adolf Hiter’s demise. Unfortunately for Freisinger, the Vanguard isn’t too keen on a Nazi resurgence. Armed to the teeth, the Vanguard possess no qualms about blowing up any of the adversaries that stand between them and their mission to cripple the Nazi operation.Call of Duty Vanguard Gameplay
Call of Duty Vanguard boasts quite a few similarities to Modern Warfare in its design. This is the result of both games using the Infinity Ward (IW) 8.0 engine. The benefit of this decision means players familiar with the previous entry will have little trouble getting used to this new title. The controls feel slick and responsive to the touch. The player will want the controls that way. The game itself is a first-person shooter where running and taking cover are both a necessity to survive the frantic action. Multiplayer offers something called Combat Pacing. The modes are Tactical, Assault and Blitz. Tactical is designed for a more methodical battle where the aim of the game is positioning. Think of older entries with two teams of six players duking it out to obtain the most frags. Assault increases the count to two teams of ten players each. Blitz is the most chaotic of these modes. It fosters in a challenge of two teams comprised of twenty-four players each. Given the scale of combat, dying will be a frequent occurrence in this mode of gameplay. Finally, the game has a Zombie mode where the player will have to take on hordes of undead Nazis. They move fast and want the player’s blood. Headshots and explosions are strongly recommended to put these resurrected baddies down once and for all.
In-Game Graphics
The visuals are impressive thanks to the IW 8.0 engine. Gorgeous usage of lights and shadows are utilized with the varied environments the game offers to make for an amazing visual experience. Whether it’s urban combat in a ruined village or a skirmish on a train moving forward at high speeds, the atmosphere will not fail to impress.Verdict
Call of Duty Vanguard offers a strong story, which we hope to continue to see with future installments. While the game has familiar elements from previous entries, the developers changed just enough to keep the gameplay fresh. The campaign and multiplayer alike are the big draws to this title. Operating at a smooth 60 FPS on the PS5, we strongly recommend this entry in the Call of Duty franchise.Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Review
Another take or another type of Guardians of the Galaxy is the best way to look at this new game review. Unlike the Guardians of the Galaxy team we are accustomed to from Movies, this Peter Quill aka Star Lord is exactly how a pirate who is a guardian but still a pirate should be in outer space or at least a first officer from galaxy class space ship I guess. Always worried about money, stopping fights between Rocket, Groot, Drax or Gamora while always getting his ship boarded or confiscated and not surprising, he has had a relationship with most of counterparts throughout the entire universe. There is a part of the game based on his past and as they dive back into his childhood to prepare him for what’s to come.
Leveling is essential to your Guardian Team ability to fight large groups of enemies. Everyone, including Star Lord, can be leveled up with points earned in battle. However, you have to level them up all on the same points. Deciding who level’s up and what abilities they will have to help the team can decide a battle later on the game.
While you have to level each character up with the same points, a lot of Star Lords abilities come from modifying his gear. Slowing time, weapon magic modifications and better stats only come from modifying his gear so make sure you lookout for parts to expand his abilities if you choose to upgrade the team with level points.
Game combat is definitely different than what is use to in a standard game play. You will need to pay attention to your entire team while battling. Reviving them and unleashing their abilities at specific targets can throw you if you are not used to battling. Then there’s the pep talk Quinn gives to motivate the team giving them ability boosts to battle tough opponents. For this part you have to pay attention to the mood of the team to answer correctly to execute an effective pep talk.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy First 30-minutes of Gameplay
You start the game by breaking into a protected space that you hope to capture a monster, Peter Quinn was told about from someone he has had relations with using security codes they to break in with. You don’t get to play any of that breakdown but it goes to show how much goes on in the game. So this was interesting to say the least as you learn more about the basic controls and functions only through game play. First, you play the main character of the game and that it nonoptional. You do have to use the other to get through the game. Each character offers a skill to overcome the terrain. In the first 30 minutes, you spend most time getting accustomed to the difference between rocket jumps up and across as you figure out your footing. You learn basic shooting, targeting and scans. Honestly, until you start battling, you’re just dealing with conversational issues.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Gameplay After an Hour
By this point, we have been fighting basic battles, learning how to call guardians to attack groups of enemies and defeat enemies based on the guardian you call. You learn about upgrades based on parts you collect that can only be applied at a bench. There are some spacecrafts flying you do manage but for the most part, the first hour is all training. However, you do learn that decisions you make in the game directly affect what you can and cannot do later in the game. Looking into those choices may be something to note as I am already upset with something I can’t take back until next time I play.Leveling Up System for the Gameplay
Leveling is essential to your Guardian Team ability to fight large groups of enemies. Everyone, including Star Lord, can be leveled up with points earned in battle. However, you have to level them up all on the same points. Deciding who level’s up and what abilities they will have to help the team can decide a battle later on the game.

Combat of the Game

Then there’s the pep talk Quinn gives to motivate the team giving them ability boosts to battle tough opponents. For this part you have to pay attention to the mood of the team to answer correctly to execute an effective pep talk.
Graphics in the Game
The game definitely has some spectacular moments in space and locations you might find yourself simply admiring. On a 4k screen on PS5, the gameplay is otherwise optimal. Playing as Star Lord with some of his dodging can throw the camera a bit, so definitely be prepared for that.Verdict on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy game is definitely a holiday pick up for PS5, Xbox series x or PC. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the game this much after the learning curve. It’s worth a pick up.God of War Ragnarök Updates from PlayStation showcase 2021
The new God of War Ragnarök gameplay was exciting in the PlayStation showcase but left everyone pondering still when the game would be making its release to the world. First, it is important to note that Atreus is much older and it seems to be more capable of enhanced battle capabilities. He was seen riding a bow-charged giant deer into battle. Next, the Norse world is definitely more alive than the first installment of the Norse God of War. With only the dwarves who create Thor’s hammer as the only other people not in hiding. You can see people walking around as Kratos and Atreus are boating around this new world.
There were some exciting enemies like toad monsters, modified ogres, what appears to be android/statue-like enemies, and a Centaurus. Wait, were not Centaurs but Centaurus in Norse Mythology. I checked and it looks like there are.
The world seems to be brighter and possibly made up of the worlds that were not accessible in the first Norse God of War. It didn’t seem like there was anything similar in this new world version except maybe Kratos home which appears to be placed differently from the first game.
Freya makes an early appearance in the gameplay and appears to lock in unrelenting anger and vengeance for the death of her son Baldur against Kratos. Since she looks like she has the ability to fight as she might, it must mean Odin has released her from her bonds to Midgard when she pledges to kill Kratos.
Tyr, the Norse God of War makes an appearance as he is freed by Kratos and Atreus. Looking like he is ready to fight the rest of the Asgard.
Thor, God of Thunder makes the same appearance as he did at the end of the first Norse God of War game with no new developments.
One of the last Giants makes an appearance at the end of the gameplay. Looks like Atreus is not as alone as we thought at the end of the first Norse God of War.
