✍️ Reviews of the Week

Choose between sacrifice and redemption to please the Gods then take a trip back to the Jurassic era to try and build a powerful army of dinosaurs in our two featured reviews:

Blade of God X impresses with its stunning graphics and engaging gameplay, delivering an immersive experience for both traditional and web3 gamers. However, occasional glitches with weapon transmogs and the default volume of the main menu music may detract slightly from the overall enjoyment. Despite these minor issues, the game shows significant promise, earning a solid 8/10 rating.

Age of Dino is a mobile game that impresses with its smooth, detailed graphics, straightforward controls, and polished audio, making it easy to engage with initially. The game features well-designed dinosaur models, buildings, and a world map, but as players progress, the complexity increases which can be overwhelming for new players. Despite suffering from some lag and connectivity issues which were mitigated by adding new servers, the game does not introduce many new elements to the familiar genre of base builders and resource management.
