Developer Pixpil still has a lot to prove in the gameplay department as the Eastward demo doesn't really feature anything too original, but we love its look and are curious to see more. No release date has been announced yet and it should be "soon".
This game is very interesting, it's like a mixture of Earthbound with The Legend of Zelda. The characters are exquisite and funny, with the two main characters feeling like Joel and Ellie sometimes. They each have abilities of their own and you can play with both together as a group or separated. You need to switch between them to progress through various puzzles and enemies.
The man can use more physical weapons like a frying pan, a shotgun and bombs. While the little girl can use what looks like magic from a distance to destroy certain objects, as well as freezing enemies for a few seconds. Some enemies can only be hit by freezing them first, otherwise they hide below the ground and you can't hit them. The enemies are very unique and interesting, you even fight a boss that requires some thinking to best it.
The game also throws some things at you when you're not expecting. The puzzles, combat and secrets are entertaining. Some of the secrets are so well hidden and crazy that you get that very surprised look when you try something stupid and it works. It's great.

massive downgrades coming from the staples achieved w/ the Halo 3 sandbox/physics, with Dice/BField it should never be a trade-off, ony thing they should be trading its engine if it isnt up 3 the job (7 Weeks ago)

Halo keeps being this Sonic title bait & switch "will their next title be able to Look up par with its current gen counterparts"? Never. Even Halo 4 who was pretty good on Campaign suffered from (7 Weeks ago)

tech? I dunno, go get some insight of Activision (the good input, not the misogyny), all they COD devs make evident generation leaps tech-wise. Do they keep being the same core IP? I think so. (7 Weeks ago)

so Halo must be thet bottomb of the barrel FPS to keep its identity. Add some negligible subsurface scattering reflections or some other tech only possible now and call it the day copy/pasting the ol (7 Weeks ago)

engines. I mean, If you can have a PS3 Ratchet & Clanck that looks like a vaseline ps3 game, and a PS5 Ratchet&Clack that looks like a goddamn next-gen game, why can't Halo Evolve - Ugly FPS Seal™ (8 Weeks ago)
