OMG Reviews and Stories

Review – Chorus

As modern society slowly draws towards a world where space exploration may just become a standard practice, Chorus cures that itch we all have to travel throughout the stars. Developed by Fishlabs and Deep Silver, Chorus has its player exploring the vast reaches of outer space in a story of redemption, overcoming the odds, and facing up to a common enemy within the Galaxy, a cult known as The Circle.

Review- Farming Simulator 22

As the main menu of Farming Simulator 22 loads up after its opening montage, the faint strains of John Denver’s classic song ‘Thank God I’m a Country Boy’ could be heard in the background of my mind “Well life on the farm is kinda laid back, ain’t much an old country boy like me can’t hack it’s early to rise, early in the sack, I thank God I’m a country boy”. Farming Simulator 22 is here and the developers from GIANTS Software have brought farming wannabes a game that allows them to truly experience and explore the life of a farmer who works the land for a living.

Review – WWE 2K22

For the first time since 2000, 2021 saw no release of a WWE title. Following a lacklustre and broken release with WWE 2K20 theinevitable next entry was delayed to completely rebuild the gameplay engine, implement a new control system and significantly improve the visuals. The extra time and polish has paid off with the impressive WWE 2K22. Arriving less than three weeks from WWE’s flagship event, WrestleMania, the timing couldn’t be better for the WWE Universe and its players to unleash chaos in the squared circle with a smoother, more satisfying experience.

Featuring a heavily cinematic Showcase mode that follows cover Superstar Rey Mysterio’s rise with twelve matches that proved pivotal to his legacy two decades into his career, there is the Universe mode which is essentially just a free-play mode but with a few new tweaks and three additional content heavy modes. The MyRISE mode allows players to create custom Superstars and take them through the NXT developmental system and all the way up to capturing the Championships on offer on the main roster, a card driven MyFACTION mode that lets players unlock cards and send their Faction into the history books and finally, the long awaited return of the GM mode in MyGM. MyGM gives players the power to book their own roster and compete against rival brands to drive theirs to the top.

WWE is back on consoles in a big way and with so many new features, mechanics and modes, WWE 2K22 certainly hits different.

Review – Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök

Dawn of Ragnarök is the largest expansion to date for Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, kicking off the second year of new content. With a larger map to explore than offered in the Wrath of the Druids and Siege of Paris expansions that came before, Dawn of Ragnarök also introduces more meaningful new abilities and gear than the early pair of expansions.

Taking place in the mythological dream world that serves as the core skeletal structure of Valhalla’s lore, Eivor is transported once again into the role of Odin, referred to as Havi. Tasked with rescuing your son, Baldur, from the fire giants, Odin must forge an alliance with the dwarves of Svartalfheim to prepare for a battle of the ages against the mighty Surtr and prevent Ragnarök – the end of all worlds.

With access to abilities that embrace the firey abilities of the Muspel’s and icy strength of the Jotuns, the combat has evolved into its most mythologically inspired iteration, yet which is enjoyable, varied and fun to experiment with when using the six new abilities to solve puzzles as well. A fantastical setting rooted in Norse mythology, fun boss fights and an excellent new suite of abilities result in a familiar yet engaging expansion to Eivor’s own evolution as they follow in the footsteps of a god.

Review – Elden Ring

YOU DIED. These two words in Elden Ring, like the other titles from developer FromSoftware, are not a prediction, they are a spoiler. Death in Elden Ring isn’t necessarily failure but rather a learning tool, a means to taking additional time to further understand the intricacies of the complex combat mechanics that are required to not only survive but to complete the story.

Cast into the world of the Lands Between with minimal hand-holding, no waypoints, mission markers or quest logs, Elden Ring allows players to embark on their treacherous open-world adventure with unbridled customisation that extends to the gear, weapons and attributes of the player’s character. Allowing mastery of multiple categories affords players the complete freedom to play the game their way, adapting along the way to overcome the seemingly insurmountable odds that stand in the way of the players ultimate quest to become the Elden Lord.

Jaw-dropping environmental art design, engaging and diverse combat encounters and a near-never-ending amount of new locations and boss encounters to discover are just a few of the reasons Elden Ring has solidified itself in the conversation of greatest RPGs of all time.
