7/11/2023 0 Comments Godfall reviewEverything is so goddamn vibrant though, and for better or worse that makes it a great showcase for your brand new PS5. The art direction sort of feels like a smorgasbord of fantasy design tropes melding together for one big fantasy-sci-fi melting pot. It's a beautiful game to behold on PS5 and it really does feels next-gen. The first major boss is a towering witch-like apparition with spider limbs that stab you and throw you to the ground. A giant demonic crocodile lurks in the underwater realm. There are some really interesting creature designs. Everything seems to shimmer with a next-gen vibrancy and glow. The art direction here puts the shiny in your shiny new game console. Nothing out there looks quite like Godfall, and yet, it looks a bit like everything. It's a simple but satisfying complement to the combat in the game and another exciting reminder that the Dual Sense controller adds some nice physicality to games moving forward. When you swing a giant sword you can literally feel the whoosh of the vibration. The haptic feedback of the Dual Sense controller gives the combat some unique flair. Godfall isn't breaking any new ground for the loot/action genre, but it does still look and feel next-gen. On that note, it's important to mention I reviewed Godfall on the PS5, but it's also available on PC. GeekDad received this comic for review purposes.I wanted to focus first on the look and feel of the game. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week. It’s a tense start to what looks like an intriguing event overall. As the Amazons debate what to do with the two guys, the decision is made for them by a ruthless stranger who comes bearing news of their own. Complicating things, the mist that obscures Themyscira seems to have been removed-which allows two idiot vloggers to make their way to the island and break the cardinal law. The backup, by Cloonan, Conrad, and Martinez, takes us back to Themyscira-where the stakes are high given Hera’s last-minute reveal. Overall, the first chapter has a lot of promise and shows off a lot of the strengths Wilson showed during her relatively short but acclaimed run on the main book years back. This is a villain Diana can’t really fight, and the ending segment has a very clever twist waiting. But given that her mother is missing and locked in battle with Hecate, and Zeus is still lying dead on the floor, it’s clear Hera isn’t in a negotiating mood. Diana takes a more active approach, heading up to Olympus to try to parlay with Hera. It’s very much spinning out of the current WW run, with Cheetah, Yara Flor, and Etta Candy trying to figure out their next move. Unfortunately, I don’t think the rest of the issue quite lives up to that great kick-off. At the same time, other Gods from the past, from various cultures that may have forgotten them, start returning and making often-violent first impressions. Some learn personal information, others are given great luck, and others see their own death. Now that Hera sits on the throne of Olympus, her fellow Gods are striking out at humanity-starting with a great segment where Apollo gives humans the gift of prophecy. Ray: Spinning out of Lazarus Planet and the main Wonder Woman book equally, this mini-event actually seems to have bigger stakes at first glance than the main event-after all, it’s not every day the Gods come down to Earth and start causing trouble.
