Remnant: From the Ashes is undeniably worthy of praise, especially when it comes to the art direction and technical execution. Though not flawless by any stretch (its environments might appear somewhat stark or monotonous at times, but remember it is a 2019 game), only partially relieved by atmospheric elements present within each world (even though these worlds were generated procedurally and contained diverse areas), though its overall results speak to developer skills who excel in game design
Remnant: From the Ashes is undeniably worthy of praise, especially when it comes to the art direction and technical execution. Though not flawless by any stretch (its environments might appear somewhat stark or monotonous at times, but remember it is a 2019 game), only partially relieved by atmospheric elements present within each world (even though these worlds were generated procedurally and contained diverse areas), though its overall results speak to developer skills who excel in game design even under tight budget restrictions. Gunfire Games certainly excel at doing just this, more for less, a Soulslike experience with epic battles against massive bosses being just an example of their mastery.
Remnant: From the Ashes - You Will Not Notice It Is a Game on a Tight Budget
Remnant: From the Ashes is a game created with a tight budget, which many players forget while playing it as it is truly extraordinary and easily comparable with big-budget productions. The art design combined with a strong sense of inspiration (great creativity) makes for a truly remarkable performance when budget constraints are present, and the developers were really good at guiding this project. For this reason, you can safely buy Remnant: From the Ashes for PlayStation: Gunfire Games has excelled simultaneously artistically/creatively and technically. We can imagine this as part of an outstanding development team effort that displays their skill while exuberant artistic vision with spectacular technical execution, resulting in an end product that proves their capabilities once more!
Satisfying Boss Fights
Consider, for instance, our experience battling Mallet as our initial major boss: it became an agonizing battle spanning multiple nights; at three points close to being victorious, I came within inches of winning each time. only to find it all slipping away by just one inch or less! If you like this kind of struggle and you want to buy cheap PS4 games, Remnant: From the Ashes is one of the best choices available even today. My fight against Mallet was difficult and finally satisfying...the array of emotions I felt in such moments shows just how capable these developers were in creating challenging yet emotionally fulfilling gaming experiences that leave players satisfied but needing another go!
Remnant: From the Ashes is a Hybrid of Genres
Roguelikes have long employed such mechanics as we can see in Remnant: From the Ashes, however, this one takes it one step further by adopting the concept of Leentjebuurspelen - an intriguing hybridization of popular genres and gaming elements from recent decades - including cover systems inspired by Gears of War, cooperative dynamics that recall Destiny, acquired skills associated with recent shooters with RPG elements as well as acquired abilities that bring to mind recent shooters featuring RPG components. While such an amalgam may typically raise concerns, Remnant skillfully weaves these disparate elements together into an integrated whole; influences recognized from multiple games never hinder its flow primarily thanks to one dominant inspiration which serves as its structural backbone - something comparable to Dark Souls itself!
Remnant: From the Ashes - Campaign or Multiplayer?
Remnant: From the Ashes defies the misconception that games tend to soften with more players; its challenge adapts dynamically by increasing adversary numbers and strengthening boss health in proportion with each additional comrade in your party/group. It is another well-designed feature that not so many cheap PS5 games have. You have the choice between embarking alone for an engaging story journey/campaign or teaming up (with friends or strangers) in a 3-players cooperative session for quick collective destruction of adversaries; loot distribution follows an equal 1:1 ratio among participants within any session to ensure outcomes are in alignment with individual needs and preferences. Whatever you choose, Remnant: From the Ashes will deliver.
See the freaky and cool way that a black-eyed tree frog's eyes open after it wakes up from a nap.
Instead of opening its eyes in one swift motion, the black-eyed tree frog has eyes that slowly open and bulge out, making it look as if it has been possessed by a demon upon waking. — Read the rest

Watch a honey bee's venom sac continue to pump venom after detaching from the bee.
In this video, the sac pulsates while it's lodged into someone's finger for a few seconds as if it has a mind of its own. A sting in the finger like this one looks pretty unpleasant. — Read the rest

Desková hra Wondrous Creatures, představená v roce 2024, se snaží přinést inovativní zážitek rozvinutí herního mechanismu worker-placement ve světě plném fantastických bytostí. Za herním designem stojí Yeomem C. W a ilustrovaná Sophií Kang. Tato hra hráče zavede do magického světa, kde jako nadšenec fantastických stvoření budujete o nejlepší rezervaci bytostí na světě.
K jedné partii může usednout 1 až 4 hráči a herním časem 40–80 minut je Wondrous Creatures ideální pro večerní hraní s přáteli nebo rodinou. Herní mechanika je obohacena o hexagonální puzzle, kde hráči umísťují své dělníky, získávají zdroje, aktivují speciální efekty a odemykají schopnosti svých dělníků, což přidává další možnosti a taktické rozhodování. S více než stovkou různých karet bytostí, každá s jedinečnou schopností, nabízí hra bohaté strategické možnosti a předpokládám, že by to mohlo vést k vysoké míře znovuhratelnosti.
Velkým přínosem pro české hráče je, že Wondrous Creatures bude vydána v českém jazyce společností REXhry, což umožní plynulé začlenění hry do českého herního prostředí a zpřístupní ji širšímu publiku. Vydání hry v českém jazyce ještě více zvýší její přitažlivost a přístupnost, což je vítaným rozšířením pro fanoušky deskových her v České republice. Otázkou však zůstává, kdy se toho dočkáme, protože k oznámení došlo teprve před pár dny.
