The Guardian 's Lewis Packwood called the writing "gloriously evocative and compelling" and noted that the picture that is painted in the game feels "intriguing and unique." Polygon 's Alexis Ong called the game's ability to remove the player from chasing concrete objectives as part of the plot its "greatest strength." Critics praised the game's streamlined mechanics. Eurogamer 's Chris Tapsell described the game's mechanics as creating a "wonderful elegance" in a positive review. Personally I like the game story very much, with its complexity and logical settings. The characters are various, with a rich personality and a complex backstory. The missions feel too easy to fulfill, all you need is a lucky roll of dices. I praise the characters design but the rest of the graphics aren't so impressive.

The story begins in 1998 in the desert of Aizona and is divided in 2 parts: " Book One - Collision " and " Book Rwo - Expansion ". Two american families are involved in this story. One is Walker family having Vince , his wife Michelle , the six-year-old daughter Zoe , and Vince 's father Jim . The other are Bear and Sharon Holt and their boys Tyler , Dale and Jay . In Book One of the game you will take decisions in behalf of Vince Wlaker and Jay Holt . Vince is an aircraft engineer and is fired from his job in Sacramento after a technical fault led to some deaths. Despite having warned the owners of the fault, Vince is under pressure to take the blame in exchange for money. Eventually, his entire family, including his father who's suffering from a brain tumor, decides to move to St Louis, Missouri. Jay Holt , the other main protagonist, is the youngest boy of the Holts which are revealed as a dysfunctional family kept in poverty by their gambling addict father Bear .

Due to other reasons I played only the Book One of the game but I made a promise to myself to find another occasion to make a full or even a perfect run of the game because As Dusk Falls worth all the time spent. Maybe doesn't have the best gameplay and the graphics are average because those are not the main concern for a game of its kind. After all it's a interactive story and the best part of the game is obviously the story. Also the game deserves to be praised for its audio department with an accurate sound, very good voice actors and a high quality score music.

Rogue-lite are those video games with some of the Berlin Interpretation elements call themselves "roguelike", but bear little resemblance to the original Rogue rogue-lite With computers and video game consoles capable of more advanced graphics and gameplay, numerous games have emerged that are loosely based on the classic roguelike design but diverge in one or more features. Many of these games use the concepts of procedurally generated maps and permadeath, while moving away from tile-based movement and turn-based gameplay, often using another gameplay genre such as action games or platformers. Other titles deriving from roguelike games are based on the observation that the traditional roguelikes are difficult with a steep learning curve, and a player may never complete these games over numerous play sessions, making these titles difficult to sell to a broader audience. These new games would include elements to reduce the difficulty as to draw in a larger audience. Many games with some of the Berlin Interpretation elements call themselves "roguelike ", but bear little resemblance to the original Rogue , causing confusion and dilution of the term. Some players of the Berlin Interpretation roguelikes disliked the dilution of the term, believing that in the 1990s and 2000s, the term "roguelikes " served well to distinguish games that forwent aesthetics to focus on depth of gameplay from games more comparable to interactive movies, particularly games that incorporated real-time gameplay elements which tended to reduce the game's complexity. As such, the term "rogue-lite " or "roguelike-like " has been used by some to distinguish these games that possess some, but not all, of the Berlin Interpretation features from those that exactly meet the Berlin roguelike definition. The phrase "procedural death labyrinth " has also been applied to such games, as they retain the notion of permadeath and random level generation but lack the other high-value factors normally associated with roguelike games. Rogue-lites favor short gameplay runs with victory conditions, in contrast to some traditional roguelikes that can be played indefinitely. The shortness of a single gameplay run in rogue-lites can motivate players to continually replay the game in the hope of reaching completion, making replayability a high-value factor in these types of games. Game journalist Joshua Bycer observed that several games considered as rogue-lites feature fixed events, even if the means to reach that may be through procedural generation, whereas a roguelike game typically lacks this level of predictability. For example, several rogue-lites require the player to travel a fixed number of biomes, each which culminates in a boss fight, such as Rogue Legacy . Associated with their short length, many rogue-lites feature a metagame , whereby achieving certain goals will unlock persistent features such as the ability to select a new character at the start of the game or the addition of new items and monsters in the procedural generation of the game's levels. Alternatively, each run through rogue-lite may be to collect resources which one then advances their character within the metagame, and a player may simply forgo a complete run once they have collected sufficient materials for that advancement. Several r ogue-lites feature daily challenges, in which a preset random seed is used to generate the game's levels in a deterministic fashion so that each player will have the same encounters; players attempt to complete the game through those levels or otherwise get the highest score through online leaderboards. Rogue-lites may also allow the player to enter the random seed directly as to be able to rechallenge the same set of levels or share a difficult set of levels with other players.

android Developer : Google, Open Handset Alliance OS Family : Unix-like Release Date : September 23, 2008 Platforms : ARM64 ARMv7 x86 x86-64 MIPS RISC-V User Interface: multi-touch graphical user interface Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android is developed by a consortium of developers known as the Open Handset Alliance, though its most widely used version is primarily developed by Google. It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008. At its core, the operating system is known as the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and is free and open-source software (FOSS) primarily licensed under the Apache License. However, most devices run on the proprietary Android version developed by Google, which ships with additional proprietary closed-source software pre-installed, most notably Google Mobile Services (GMS) which includes core apps such as Google Chrome, the digital distribution platform Google Play, and the associated Google Play Services development platform. Firebase Cloud Messaging is used for push notifications. While AOSP is free, the "Android" name and logo are trademarks of Google, which imposes standards to restrict the use of Android branding by "uncertified" devices outside their ecosystem. Over 70 percent of smartphones based on the Android Open Source Project run Google's ecosystem (which is known simply as Android ), some with vendor-customized user interfaces and software suites, such as TouchWiz and later One UI by Samsung and HTC Sense. Competing ecosystems and forks of AOSP include Fire OS (developed by Amazon), ColorOS by Oppo, OriginOS by Vivo, MagicUI by Honor, or custom ROMs such as LineageOS. The source code has been used to develop variants of Android on a range of other electronics, such as game consoles, digital cameras, portable media players, and PCs, each with a specialized user interface. Some well-known derivatives include Android TV for televisions and Wear OS for wearables, both developed by Google. Software packages on Android, which use the APK format, are generally distributed through proprietary application stores like Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore, Samsung Galaxy Store, Huawei AppGallery, Cafe Bazaar, GetJar, and Aptoide, or open source platforms like F-Droid.

Windows 10 is a major release of Microsoft's Windows NT operating system and was made available for download via MSDN and TechNet, as a free upgrade for retail copies of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users via the Windows Store, and to Windows 7 users via Windows Update microsoft windows 10 Developer : Microsoft OS Family : Microsoft Windows NT Release Date : July 29, 2015 Platforms : IA-32, x86-64, ARMv7, ARMv8 User Interface : Windows shell (GUI) Editions: Baseline editions: Home , Pro, Pro for Workstations Organizational editions: Enterprise, Enterprise LTSC, Education, Pro Education Windows 10 , a major release of Microsoft 's Windows NT operating system, was made available for download via MSDN and TechNet, as a free upgrade for retail copies of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users via the Windows Store , and to Windows 7 users via Windows Update. Windows 10 receives new builds on an ongoing basis, which are available at no additional cost to users. Windows 10 received generally positive reviews upon its original release. Critics praised Microsof t's decision to provide the desktop-oriented interface in line with previous versions of Windows , contrasting the tablet-oriented approach of Windows 8 , although Windows 10 's touch-oriented user interface mode was criticized for containing regressions upon the touch-oriented interface of its predecessor. Critics also praised the improvements to Windows 10 's bundled software over Windows 8.1 , Xbox Live integration, as well as the functionality and capabilities of the Cortana personal assistant and the replacement of Internet Explorer with Microsoft Edge. Windows 10 is the final version of Windows that supports 32-bit processors (IA-32 and ARMv7 -based) and devices with BIOS firmware. Its successor, Windows 11 , requires a device that uses UEFI firmware and a 64-bit processor in any supported architecture (x86-64 for x86 and ARMv8 for ARM). DirectX 12 : Windows 10 includes DirectX 12 alongside WDDM 2.0. Unveiled March 2014 at GDC, DirectX 12 aims to provide "console-level efficiency" with "closer to the metal" access to hardware resources, and reduced CPU and graphics driver overhead. Most of the performance improvements are achieved through low-level programming, which can reduce single-threaded CPU bottlenecking caused by abstraction through higher level APIs. The performance gains achieved by allowing developers direct access to GPU resources is similar to other low-level rendering initiatives such as AMD's Mantle, Apple's Metal API or the OpenGL successor, Vulkan. WDDM 2.0 introduces a new virtual memory management and allocation system to reduce workload on the kernel-mode driver. Xbox One integration : Windows 10 brings more updates to the Xbox app introduced in Windows 8 . Games from the Xbox One can be streamed to any Windows 10 device excluding smartphones. Game Bar and Game: DVR : Windows 10 introduces the Game Bar , which provides screenshot and video capture functionality for Windows games. Users can invoke the game bar, record gameplay, or take a screenshot using the appropriate keyboard shortcuts. Windows 10 can also continuously capture gameplays in the background; this allows the user to request that the last few users defined moments of gameplay be saved to the hard disk. This is useful if a user wants to save and/or share a moment of gameplay but did not think to explicitly record it beforehand. The Game Bar was later upgraded into a larger overlay, which now features "widgets" windows for functionality such as the user's Xbox friends list, audio settings, and system performance information. Gaming : Windows 10 provides greater integration with the Xbox ecosystem. Xbox SmartGlass is succeeded by the Xbox Console Companion (formerly the Xbox app), which allows users to browse their game library (including both PC and Xbox console games), and Game DVR is also available using a keyboard shortcut, allowing users to save the last 30 seconds of gameplay as a video that can be shared to Xbox Live , OneDrive, or elsewhere. Windows 10 also allows users to control and play games from an Xbox One console over a local network. The Xbox Live SDK allows application developers to incorporate Xbox Live functionality into their apps, and future wireless Xbox One accessories, such as controllers, are supported on Windows with an adapter. Microsoft also intends to allow cross-purchases and save synchronization between Xbox One and Windows 10 versions of games; Microsoft Studios games such as ReCore and Quantum Break are intended as being exclusive to Windows 10 and Xbox One . Windows 10 adds native game recording and screenshot capture ability using the newly introduced Game Bar . Users can also have the OS continuously record gameplay in the background, which then allows the user to save the last few moments of gameplay to the storage device. Source: Wikipedia contributors.

An action role-playing game (Action RPG, ARPG) is that game which incorporates elements from both genres role-playing game and action game action role-playing games An action role-playing game (Action RPG, ARPG ) is that game which incorporates elements from both genres role-playing game and action game . The main difference betweeb an action RPG and a classic RPG is the combat system. The action RPG use a real-time combat system similar to hack and slash or shooter games , where the player has a direct control over the character. Still, an ARPG , like any other classic RPG , focus on specific elements such an improving status of character's attributes, skills, abilities through accumulated experience over time, an inventory of personal items and a set of equipped gear with different characteristics meant to help the player's avatar. The Tower of Druaga was one of the first RPGs which made use of game elements specific to an action RPG . It was released in June 1984 by Namco for Namco Super Pac-Man Arcade system. In the same year, inspired or not by The Tower of Druaga big success in Japan, pther two games with action RPG elements were launched in Japan: Dragon Slayer (10 Sep) and Hydlide (13 Dec). Anyway there are more debates about which one was the first ARPG in history. AllGame listed the following games released prior to 1984 as action RPGs : Temple of Apshai (1979) and its sequel Gateway to Apshai (1983), Beneath the Pyramids (1980), Bokosuka Wars (1983), and Sword of Fargoal (1983). Jeremy Parish of USgamer claimed that Adventure (1980) was an action RPG . He also argues that action RPGs were popularized in Japan by The Tower of Druaga . Falcom's Dragon Slayer , created by Yoshio Kiya, is "the very first action-RPG ever made" according to GameSetWatch. Shaun Musgrave of TouchArcade notes that Adventure lacked RPG mechanics such as experience points and permanent character growth, and argues that Gateway to Apshai is "the earliest game I'd feel comfortable calling an action-RPG " but notes that "it doesn't fit neatly into our modern genre classifications", though came closer than Bokosuka Wars released the same year. Bill Loguidice and Matt Barton claimed that the Intellivision games Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (1982) and Treasure of Tarmin (1983) were action RPGs . According to John Szczepaniak, it "cannot be overstated how influential Hydlide was on the ARPGs which followed it". He also mention in its book The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers Vol 2 that "Courageous Perseus is one of the earliest if not the first Action-RPG ". Source: Wikipedia contributors.

Unreal Engine is a 3D computer graphics game engine Top of Page Unreal Engine v1 Uneral Engine 4 unreal engine Software Type: G ame Engine Developer: Epic Games Launch Date: 1998 (Unreal) Currently Supported Platform: multi-platform Unreal Engine (UE) is a 3D computer graphics game engine developed by Epic Games , first showcased in the 1998 first-person shooter game Unreal . Initially developed for PC first-person shooters, it has since been used in a variety of genres of games and has seen adoption by other industries, most notably the film and television industry. Unreal Engine is written in C++ and features a high degree of portability, supporting a wide range of desktop, mobile, console, and virtual reality platforms. UNREAL ENGINE ver. 1 The first-generation Unreal Engine w as developed by Tim Sweeney, the founder of Epic Games . Having created editing tools for his shareware games ZZT (1991) and Jill of the Jungle (1992), Sweeney began writing the engine in 1995 for the production of a game that would later become a first-person shooter known as Unreal . At first, the engine relied completely on software rendering, meaning the graphics calculations were handled by the central processing unit (CPU). However, over time, it was able to take advantage of the capabilities provided by dedicated graphics cards, focusing on the Glide API , specially designed for 3dfx accelerators. While OpenGL and Direct3D were supported, they reported a slower performance compared to Glide due to their deficiency in texture management at the time. Among its features were collision detection, colored lighting, and a limited form of texture filtering. It also integrated a level editor, UnrealEd, that had support for real-time constructive solid geometry operations as early as 1996, allowing mappers to change the level layout on the fly. Even though Unreal was designed to compete with id Software (developer of Doom and Quake ), co-founder John Carmack complimented the game for the use of 16-bit color and remarked its implementation of visual effects such as volumetric fog. "I doubt any important game will be designed with 8-bit color in mind from now on. Unreal has done an important thing in pushing toward direct color, and this gives the artists a lot more freedom," he said in an article written by Geoff Keighley for GameSpot. "Light blooms [the spheres of light], fog volumes, and composite skies were steps I was planning on taking, but Epic got there first with Unreal," he said, adding: "The Unreal engine has raised the bar on what action gamers expect from future products. The visual effects first seen in the game will become expected from future games." In addition to being available on Windows , Linux, Mac and Unix, the engine was ported through Unreal Tournament to the PlayStation 2 and, with the help of Secret Level , to the Dreamcast . UNREAL ENGINE ver. 4 In August 2005, Mark Rein, the vice-president of Epic Games , revealed that Unreal Engine 4 had been in development for two years. "People don't realise this but we're already two years into development of Unreal Engine 4 . It certainly doesn't have a full team yet, it's just one guy and you can probably guess who that guy is," he told C&VG. One of the major features planned for UE4 was real-time global illumination using voxel cone tracing, eliminating pre-computed lighting. However, this feature, called Sparse Voxel Octree Global Illumination (SVOGI) and showcased with the Elemental demo, was replaced with a similar but less computationally expensive algorithm due to performance concerns. UE4 also includes the new "Blueprints" visual scripting system (a successor to UE3 's "Kismet"), which allows for rapid development of game logic without using code, resulting in less of a divide between technical artists, designers, and programmers. On March 19, 2014, at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) , Epic Games released Unreal Engine 4 through a new licensing model. For a monthly subscription at US$19, developers were given access to the full version of the engine, including the C++ source code, which could be downloaded via GitHub. Any released product was charged with a 5% royalty of gross revenues. The first game released using Unreal Engine 4 was Daylight , developed with early access to the engine and released on April 29, 2014. To prepare for the release of its free-to-play battle royale mode in Fortnite in September 2017, Epic had to make a number of Unreal Engine modifications that helped it to handle a large number (up to 100) of connections to the same server while still retaining high bandwidth and to improve the rendering of a large open in-game world. Epic said it would incorporate these changes into future updates of the Unreal Engine . Unreal Engine 4 officially supports the following platforms as of 4.27 (August 2021): Windows , macOS , Linux , iOS , Android , Nintendo Switch , PlayStation 4 , Xbox One , PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series X/S , Stadia , Magic Leap , HTC Vive , Oculus , PlayStation VR , OSVR , Samsung Gear VR , and HoloLens 2 .

Stadia was capable of streaming video games to players from the company's numerous data centers at up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, with support for high-dynamic-range (HDR) video. It offered the option to purchase games from its store, along with a selection of free-to-play games. While the base service was free and allowed users stream at resolutions up to 1080p, a Stadia Pro monthly subscription allowed for a maximum resolution of 4K, 5.1 surround sound, HDR, and offered a growing collection of free games that—once claimed—remained in the user's library whenever they had an active subscription. Both tiers allowed users to play online multiplayer games without any additional costs. Stadia was integrated with YouTube , and its "state share" feature allowed players to launch a supported game from a save state shared by another player via permalink. The service supported Google's proprietary Stadia game controller, along with various non-Stadia controllers through USB and Bluetooth connections. While Stadia could use any HID-class USB controller, Google developed its own controller, which connected via the user's Wi-Fi directly to the Google data center in which the game was running, to reduce input latency. Google was also exploring further ways to reduce latency, involving the prediction of user input through various means, so that any apparent network lag between controller and game response was minimized. Google confirmed that the controller would also feature Google Assistant , which would automatically search YouTube for relevant, helpful videos related to the game the user was playing. Stadia offered two tiers of service: a free level (initially at launch known as "Stadia Base" but after April 2020, simply "Stadia"), and a monthly subscription Stadia Pro level. The free Stadia level limited the video stream resolution to 1080p. The Pro tier, costing approximately US$10 per month, allowed users higher streaming rates, up to 4K resolution, access to a library of free games over time, and discounts on other games offered for Stadia.

The console was announced in March 2010 and unveiled at E3 2010 as the successor to the Nintendo DS. The system features backward compatibility with Nintendo DS video games. As an eighth-generation console, its primary competitor was Sony's PlayStation Vita. The system was originally launched in all regions in both Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black color variations. On April 28, 2012, the Nintendo 3DS launched in South Korea, in Cosmos Black, Misty Pink, and Cobalt Blue color variations. On September 28, 2012, the system launched in two other regions, Hong Kong and Taiwan, in Cerulean Blue and Shimmer Pink. The most prominent feature of the 3DS is its ability to display stereoscopic 3D images without the use of 3D glasses or additional accessories. Other features of the 3DS include its StreetPass and SpotPass tag modes that are powered by Nintendo Network, augmented reality capabilities using its 3D cameras, and Virtual Console, which provides a method for users to download and play video games originally released for older video game systems. The 3DS had multiple variants over the course of its life. The Nintendo 3DS XL , a larger model featuring a 90% larger screen, was first released in Japan and Europe in July 2012.[15] In August 2012, it launched in the US for $199.99. An "entry-level" version of the console, the Nintendo 2DS , with a fixed "slate" form factor and lacking autostereoscopic (3D) functionality, was released in Western markets in October 2013. The New Nintendo 3DS features a more powerful CPU, a second analog stick called the C-Stick, additional buttons, an improved camera, and other changes, and was first released in Japan in October 2014. The Nintendo 3DS XL (Nintendo 3DS LL in Japan) was released on July 28, 2012, in Japan, priced at ¥18,900, and was available in Silver + Black, Red + Black and White color variations. In Europe, the system launched on the same day but in Silver + Black, Blue + Black and Red + Black color variations. On August 19, the Nintendo 3DS XL launched in North America, priced at US$199.99, and available in Blue + Black and Red + Black. On August 23, 2012, Australia and New Zealand saw the launch of the new handheld, priced at AU$249.95, and available in the same color variations as in Europe, Silver + Black, Blue + Black and Red + Black. On September 20, 2012, the Nintendo 3DS XL launched in South Korea, in Silver + Black, Red + Black, and White color variations. On September 28, 2012, the system launched in two other regions, Hong Kong and Taiwan, in Blue + Black and White color variations. In December 2012, Nintendo Chinese distribution partner, iQue, launched the iQue 3DS XL in three special editions, one featuring a Mario decal while the other two feature both Mario and Luigi. 3DS family hardware was officially discontinued on September 16, 2020. The Nintendo eShop for the 3DS officially shut down on March 27, 2023. The Nintendo Network online service will shut down on April 8, 2024, with the exception of Pokémon Bank, Poké Transporter, and the ability to redownload previously purchased software.
