Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles Review
26.03.2024 - 17:43 / thesixthaxis.com / Tomas Sala
A successor to The Falconeer, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is the second of three games to be set in universe created by developer Tomas Sala. Where you might expect it to follow in The Falconeer’s slipstream as an aerial combat game, Bulwark takes a much steadier approach, revisiting the vast watery expanse of the Ursee for a more sedate city builder.
At its core, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles gives players the task to build up the settlements of one of the main factions in this world, each with their own ideals and values. In the campaign mode, you will start with a location and one outpost, looking to build up from there, however where many city builders, Bulwark’s focus is much more about building and exploring rather than resource management. Yes, you do need resources to build up your settlement, but Bulwark’s way of managing this is through distance rather than inventory.
The main resources in the game are workers, wood, stone, and iron. For your Bulwark to grow, you need access to all of these items, and that is achieved through your shipping routes. You can set up operations where these items are found, though you can be limited to the number of resource extractors running at any one time. Or you can trade with other factions. Whatever approach you choose, you will have shipping routes to manage and defend. Each route requires its own start and end harbour, rather than one harbour having multiple routes. An issue with this is that if you want to have multiple harbours placed at the same location you have to be really careful with placement, as you cannot build harbours right next to each other. This limits your route options and can be frustrating when planning routes. A large harbour with capacity for different routes could have been much better here.
At each harbour you can assign up to three Captains to transport goods, or protect the route. You do not have access to many ship captains to start with, and this is where exploration is key.
Exploration is done through your own airship, the Surveyor, which you can direct to any part of the Ursee. Through doing this you will find ships, new outposts, resources, unique buildings, and commanders. A very important factor is faction alignment when finding unique buildings, captains, commanders, and outposts. If you are aiming to dominate as one faction, for example the Mancers, you would want to have Mancer captain, commanders, and outposts aligned the same way to avoid internal conflict and disagreement. In one playthrough, I picked up everyone and everything, then declared war on the Imperium. Sure, I gained some outposts but then I had a captain that would refuse to sail under the Mancer Order as a result, limiting my shipping options.
Of course,

Planet Zoo: Console Edition Review
Zoos have an important role to play in the modern world. While their roots might be in the collecting of exotic creatures to show off a ruler or nation’s power and influence, the modern zoo has turned toward education and science, to preservation and even trying to reverse the thoughtless and destructive repercussions of hundreds of years of human expansion. When it comes to Planet Zoo the foundations are still those serious ecological issues, but Frontier has crafted a fun and enjoyable park management experience within them. Following the game’s launch on PC in 2019, the animal parks are now finally opening to console owners as well.

There's an abundance of budget-minded gaming mice on the shelves, and many of them offer excellent bang for your buck value. Ruling them all, though, is the Razer Basilisk V3, a wired multi-genre pointer I gave top marks back when I reviewed it in 2021.

Rumour: Unsurprisingly, a Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles Sequel Is In Development | Push Square
According to reliable leaker Midori — best known for their seemingly accurate information on all things Atlus — a sequel to 2021's Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is currently in development. Of course, this wouldn't come as any real surprise, given that this is basically what developer CyberConnect2 is hired to do. Looking at the studio's long line of Naruto Ninja Storm titles, a follow-up to its Demon Slayer arena fighter always seemed inevitable.
