I tried submitting a bounty earlier but the message disappeared. I think that's happened to me before. I thought maybe the bounty wasn't "live" yet since I submitted it shortly after the event ended. This is a test. 🙂

[Edit]: Alrighty, replies work. Time to submit the bounty. 👍

Darkest Dungeon II - Kingdoms

When I saw the Darkest Dungeon visuals, I didn't expect a brand new game mode! And it's free?! Can't beat that, can you?

I've only been to the actual Darkest Dungeon a handful of times. It was always dreadful and I lost a bunch of good characters, haha. I'm not 100% sure what this new mode entails but it looks quite intricate with some sort of management mechanics? I'm eager to find out. As long as the turn-based combat is still there somewhere, I'm definitely in.

Honorary mentions: Slay The Spire II, KILL KNIGHT. The latter had some very cool audio effects.

This one for me is simple

When I started playing the trailer, it was showing knights, fighting, city building, taming the land, and then out of the blue, BOOM, dinosaurs, I was blown away, I would never have thought to put old England-style knights and armour with dinosaurs.

So that was my shock/amazement and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

Slay the Spire 2! The original is such an addictive roguelite and is my go-to game to play on android on any long car/public transport journeys. The original is one of those games that are so addictive you end up playing until stupid AM as you keep telling yourself 'one last go'.

The addition of a new class and the thought of more of that gameplay loop means this is straight on my wishlist!

My biggest surprise was that there was a new Dizzy game! But then I realised they were potato's and it was Brotato Potato: Abyssal Terrors.

Hate to be a downer but but my other surprise was how many games looked so similar. So many dungeon crawler, rogue likes set in a dark D&D fantasy theme, they even joke about this half way through in the short interval. It got to the point where a game was only catching my attention if it was bright and colourful. I was forwarding past to the next one if it wasn't.

Most of the games showcased were familiar to me, so there weren’t many surprises except for the collaboration between Stunlock Studios and Konami, which brought the Castlevania IP into V Rising. I believe this partnership offers a fantastic opportunity for a small team. Integrating such an iconic series can significantly boost visibility and attract a dedicated fan base, potentially elevating Stunlock Studios' profile in the industry. This move demonstrates the potential for creative alliances in game development.

V: Rising Castlevania crossover DLCHaving just come off the back of DLC, they've gone and announced more. It's great!Being able to crossover with some other beloved franchises is fantastic, and I'm pleased they've managed to keep it on theme and not gone too wide with brands or crossovers - bravo!

The most astonishing reveal at the Triple-I show was the introduction of an innovative virtual reality technology set to transform gaming and entertainment. Created through a partnership among leading tech firms, this VR system boasts unmatched immersion, breathtaking visuals, and smooth compatibility with current gaming setups. Its announcement sparked immense enthusiasm and eagerness among gamers, raising anticipation for its forthcoming launch.

Hi JayNetSu. I'm not sure what VR system you're referring to, as none were announced at the Triple-i show. Your submission reads like it was generated by AI; please read our policy on AI-generated content and our Community Code of Conduct to ensure such content is appropriate for Just About.
