✍️ Reviews of the Week
Check out a hybrid action game combining fast-paced combat and a chilly cozy farm for you to plant your seeds in and tend to your sheep in our two featured reviews:
 | Shadow War’s alpha stage playtest offered an enjoyable and stable experience, with minor tweaks on character moment sound. The graphics are good, and the characters' special abilities look well done. The diversity of the different classes bring fun and excitement. If the team creates more maps for the next phase with also different game modes then they have a chance of disrupting the hero shooter genre in web3. |
 | Moonfrost, in its current playtest phase, is already showing a lot of promise with its quality and replayability. However, since it's an alpha test, there's still plenty of room for improvement. For example, buying seeds requires you to manually click each one, and some minor visual and gameplay bugs need ironing out. To really stand out not just in web3 but the overall farming game genre, Moonfrost needs to amp up its content. While it's off to a great start, it's not quite there yet. As a fan of this genre, I can spend hours unlocking every crop, chatting with every NPC, and diving into their stories. Moonfrost definitely has the blueprint for success, but it still has a long way to go. I'm excited to see more content, especially classic farming game features like fishing, mining, and seasonal events. |
