Retro Dose #18 - The Settlers
We jump in the early days of the famous strategy series The Settlers and we remember how the economy looked like when it started back in 1993.The Settlers is a very popular series among the strategy game players on the PC which, in the nineties, began to climb to fame, and has seen more than a dozen sequels. Although many will probably be nostalgic for the third sequel, we will take this opportunity to briefly look around the very beginning. For its strategic project developer Blue Byte in the early nineties they were originally planning to put together something modeled on
Retro Dose #17 - SSX Tricky
This Retro Dose brings you a little refreshment with a lot of snow and high jumps in SSX Tricky, so prepare your ice cream.Because of the hellish heat I spent the last few days half naked with ice cream in hand near a fan that is struggling to turn on, let alone cool me off , but of course that was not enough. The desire for ice is greater then the 25th hour of the day and cubes that are precisely created in glaciers evaporate as soon as I see them. That's why I'm going for this game to sort out
What interesting games are coming out 07/2017
July is still a torment for gamers, but this year the gods of gaming showed a little mercy and gave us two interesting beta tests.Temperatures rise, ice cream melts. Offer of games is poor. Not haiku - it is July and dry gaming reality. July was never particularly rich with hot games, but somehow we have to live through it. Fortunately, this year it will be easier for fans of football and shooters - on consoles.In the second half of the month comes two interesting beta tests for the games coming out in September. If you are not interested in them,
Retro Dose #16 - Lemmings
Little lost Lemmings require your attention in today's Retro Dose! We remember how there was a time when game developers mixed many different genres to get something completely new.Probably most of you played, or at least heard, about these little guys - and there's a reason for that, because Lemmings were really popular back in the day. This well-known classic, also a strange hybrid of puzzle platformer with strategic elements was released in 1991 for the Amiga and PC, ie. MS-DOS.This is one of those titles that, like Tetris, was so blessed that it had spread to more than twenty other
Retro Dose #15 - Japan World Cup
Today we bypass retro content of what you expect and step into the recent past with the game that's just for everyone's taste, but only because it is one of the most bizarre titles ever.One day I was really bored I just didn't want to play anything serious. That's why I chose one of the craziest and stupidest thing I could find in the bottomless pit called the "Internet", and of course I eventually found myself in a country where every idea, no matter how crazy , gets its chance.Game Japan World Cup is most easily described as a horse race

Honestly, Path of Exile (especially with everything they’ve done leading into PoE 2) deserves a top spot on this list. The dark, gritty art style is incredible, and the lighting engine alone is a masterpiece. When you're running through a damp, dimly lit dungeon and your skills light up the entire screen with realistic shadows and reflections, it looks better than most modern triple-A games.
The only downside to the game looking this beautiful is that when your build gets chaotic and the screen fills up with hundreds of exploding monsters, it can get incredibly intense. To actually survive those gorgeous, high-density maps without constantly dying, you need a seriously optimized character.
That’s why so many players, myself included, eventually look to buy Path of Exile items or high-tier gear on trade markets just to get our defenses up. Having the right build lets you actually appreciate how incredible the game looks at max settings instead of staring at a 'You Have Died' screen every two minutes though
