Review

Hollowbody delivers an enchanting experience that fuses unique artwork with deep narrative elements. Players are thrust into a visually stunning world that begs to be explored, and the atmospheric storytelling pulls you into the heart of the journey. The gameplay, with its robust challenge, caters well to those seeking a stimulating adventure. However, the game's combat system can sometimes lack the fluidity that players expect, and while the pacing is deliberate, it may test the patience of some. Despite these drawbacks, the enticing environment and profound story immersion make Hollowbody a compelling title worth experiencing, even if it doesn't boast significant replay value.

Ah, the return of the classic ski and jetpack formula, the Tribes series revival is definitely a thrill for those of us craving that old-school, high-octane FPS fix. Here's hoping Prophecy Games channels that Tribes: Ascend magic and really delivers with this one—fingers crossed for some epic aerial combat and a tight-knit community revival.
