Cinematic is a word thrown around a lot when talking about games, AW2 hit the sweet spot between fantastic gameplay and rich narrative , MGS is renowned for its cut scenes, but Hellblade 2 hits cinematic heights unlike anything I’ve played to date. I mean this in the way that you never really feel as though you are participating in Senua’s story but more being lead through it, a passenger on her journey, the guard railed gameplay constraining your movements. But it’s the intense visceral nature of the game that brings you back, I’ve never experienced 3D audio utilised to such effect and HB2 may just be one of, if not the best UE game to date from a graphical fidelity standpoint, with gameplay and cutscenes almost indistinguishable. The story is intense, like Bonetomahawk and 13th Warrior had a baby and covered it in dread, the music intense and the atmospheric horror over jump scares grips you from the off. HB 2 may not break ground from a gameplay standpoint but what it strips back in traditional gameplay, it lavishes on narrative, taking cinematic gaming to new heights Take a bow Ninja Theory for creating a unique and compelling gaming experience! #hellblade2 #Gaming #Review

30FPS: Speed vs. Beauty Wrap-Up A big thank you to everyone who participated in the poll! It was a close call, but the results lean slightly towards fluid gameplay with higher FPS. It seems like, despite our love for visually stunning games, we can't deny our soft spot for that fluid, smooth gameplay. Reflecting on Abebe Tinari’s insights regarding the Paper Mario 30FPS scenario, it’s evident that game development is filled with tough decisions. The goal isn’t to cut corners but to prioritize elements that enhance the core game experience. From a dev’s perspective, it’s always a juggle to hit that sweet spot that resonates with players. But regardless of whether it’s 30FPS or 60FPS, what really mates is the passion and creativity poured into these games. Let’s keep this dialogue going. I’m keen to hear more of your thoughts on this topic, so feel free to dive into the comments. #GamingCommunity #GameDevelopment #FrameRateDebate
