Hegis' Grasp: Evil Resurrected

Hegis' Grasp: Evil Resurrected certainly looks like an asset flip, but it isn't one. While a lot of stock/placeholder assets have been used that weren't created by the developer and weren't replaced with their own custom professionally made assets, they also properly credited the asset creators as they tried to make a game out of all of this. What game? Hegis' Grasp: Evil Resurrected is a "survival horror" (which just means horror, really, doesn't it) first/third person shooter where you fight some supernatural assets and plod through a really bad story in an even worse game. Before I get into the weeds with all the problems here, it can be summed up easily, the developers were simply far too ambitious and bit off more than they could chew... they simply lacked the resources and talent to produce the game they envisaged. The result was, predictably, a disaster, and it proves an old axiom of game development... it doesn't matter how much work goes into a game, what matters is the resultant quality. Sure, a huge amount of effort is required to make a magnificent game... but a huge amount of effort can go into a game and it can still fail. Bad ideas in game design are one fault,…

Dragonflight is a free VR game that gives me a pretty simple fantasy. I get to ride a dragon and fly around a large fantasy world while fighting other dragons and attacking things on the ground. It is not a full RPG and there is no huge story for me to get invested in. It is much closer to a short VR action experience that is mainly trying to make riding a dragon feel exciting. I think that basic idea works pretty well, especially when I am actually in the air and moving quickly through the environment. The flying is easily the best part for me. I can steer the dragon through mountains and valleys, fly around castles and move through areas filled with enemies. There is a nice sense of speed when I dive down and then pull back up, and being able to look around while flying makes the VR setting feel useful rather than just being there for the sake of it. I also like that the environments are destructible, because flying through a battlefield while arrows and attacks are coming towards me gives the experience a little more energy. The combat is straightforward but enjoyable enough. I have to deal with enemy dragons in the sky as well as archers and other threats around castles and w…

Игра "Hegis' Grasp: Evil Resurrected" оставила смешанные впечатления. С одной стороны, геймплей, основанный на тактическом использовании окружения и специфических навыков персонажей, подкупает своей глубиной и разнообразием. Каждый бой требует продуманной стратегии и умелого использования доступных ресурсов. Графика, хоть и не поражает воображение, создает мрачную и атмосферную обстановку, идеально передающую дух темного фэнтези. С другой стороны, сюжет кажется немного клишированным и предсказуемым. Хоть и есть попытки удивить игрока неожиданными поворотами, они не всегда срабатывают. Кроме того, некоторые механики, особенно связанные с управлением инвентарем, кажутся излишне громоздкими и усложняют игровой процесс. В целом, "Hegis' Grasp: Evil Resurrected" – это неплохая тактическая RPG с интересным геймплеем и мрачной атмосферой. Она может понравиться любителям жанра, которые готовы смириться с некоторыми шероховатостями в сюжете и управлении. Новичкам может показаться сложноватой. Оценка: 7/10.

Achievements are completely broken for money collection, the enemies spawn outside of the playable area, they are everywhere we are surrounded, get ready men. Took years to make and couldn't even get the moustaches to work or having thousands of Englishman reinforcements.
