The Boglands Expansion for Halls of Torment (Game Review)

The Boglands drags Halls of Torment into a choking, sunken frontier where survival is measured by how many corpses you stack, not by the clock on the wall. This paid expansion raises the stakes with harsher encounter design, new strategic pillars; Decays, Earth elemental play, and summon‑focused synergies; and two characters that force you to rethink crowd control and multi‑element tactics. Where the base game rewarded creative build experiments, the Boglands punishes sloppy theorycrafting and rewards durability, sustain, and clever use of the environment; it asks a simple question: do your strategies still work when the mud fights back? What the Boglands adds • A sprawling new stage : The murky Boglands layer the game with choking roots, drowned spirits, swarms of biting insects, and massive walking trees; encounters here emphasize sustained pressure and attrition over pure speed, forcing players to manage stamina, space, and resource windows. • Two transformative heroes : The Cro...

Halls of Torment: Late‑90s Grit, Modern Systems (Game Review)

Halls of Torment condenses roguelite depth into razor‑fast, 30‑minute runs wrapped in a striking pre‑rendered aesthetic that channels late‑90s RPGs. The retro visuals lend each cavern, ruined hall, and grotesque boss a tactile, cinematic grit, while modern systems; massive pools of traits, modular abilities, and persistent meta progression; turn every descent into a new design puzzle. Runs feel like creative experiments: quick to start, brutal to master, and endlessly replayable for players who love iterating on builds, discovering strange synergies, and squeezing more power out of each trip into the abyss. Core loop and feel • Fast, razor‑focused runs : Each attempt centers on surviving escalating waves, harvesting key items, and forcing a showdown with a Lord before the pressure peaks. The 30‑minute cap pushes you toward bold, decisive choices and rapid iteration rather than slow grinding. • Build discovery as gameplay : Traits, blessings, and items interlock to create emergent syne...

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders - Highlands DLC (Game Review)

Ben Fiadhein beckons. The Highlands DLC grafts a compact, meticulously hand‑crafted mountain onto Snow Riders, drenched in golden autumn light, moss‑clad ruins, and river‑cut gullies that hide fierce shortcuts. It’s tailored for players who have learned the base game’s slopes and are hungry for new lines, sharper challenges, and fresh rewards; plus more opportunities to hone teamwork and timing in both private sessions and public quickmatches. What’s included • Four new trails, eight slopes : Each trail offers a paired blue and black slope; blue routes invite exploration and trick chaining, while black variants tighten lines and reward precision, risk, and split‑second decision making. • New challenges across every slope : Fresh time trials, trick objectives, and free‑ride tasks push technique and creativity; completing challenge tiers unlocks meaningful milestones and encourages replay on alternative lines. • New rewards and cosmetics : Earn cosy autumn layers, classic highlands kilt...

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders - Adventure, precision, and multiplayer on the slopes (Game Review)

Take a breath, count to three, and launch down the slope. Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders  ( read DLC review here ) preserves the original’s tight, physics‑first riding while expanding the playground with deeper powder, glassy ice, and audacious jumps; and, for the first time, online multiplayer that transforms solo practice into shared choreography or cutthroat races. It asks for mastery without pressure: wipe out repeatedly to learn a line, then savor the payoff of a flawless descent or the simple bliss of drifting through a sunlit chute. What it plays like • Physics‑driven mountain riding : Momentum, weight distribution, and surface friction all influence your line. Powder slows and buries wheels; hardpack rewards precision; ice punishes indecision; churned snow robs speed; reading terrain is as important as input timing. • High‑risk, high‑reward runs : Land a narrow line, hit a perfect launch, or uncover a hidden shortcut and shave seconds off your best time. Crashes sting, but e...
