![]() ![]() Chatwood’s music is dark, intense, and oppressive. Accordingly, the game has received a few new tracks from composer Stuart Chatwood, whose work on the Prince of Persia games I’ve always liked. Lovecraft story (“The Colour Out of Space” - it’s one of his least problematic!). Listen: Spotify – Bandcamp Buy: Amazon – iTunesĭarkest Dungeon – Color of Madness DLC by Stuart ChatwoodĪt the tail end of June, Darkest Dungeon received some new DLC: The Color of Madness, an homage to what is unquestionably my favorite H.P. ![]() ![]() Don’t pass this album over like I did when it first dropped on Laulan’s Bandcamp page - listen to it immediately! It’s full of strings, choral samples, and percussion that always seems to push the action forward. It’s gotten praise for its evocative art and its punishing difficulty, but of course I zeroed in on the wonderful soundtrack by Yoann Laulan. Dead Cells is a side-scrolling platformer with a heavy emphasis on Metroid- style exploration and a heaping helping of procedural generation. Whatever the case, folks have been singing the praises of Dead Cells for more than a year, and it’s finally going to see an official release on PC and consoles any day now. I’m never sure whether to include a game as soon as its soundtrack releases, or wait until the game is officially out to highlight its tunes. Phew! At least we’ll never be wanting for excellent video game soundtrack albums.ĭead Cells – Soundtrack Part 1 by Yoann LaulanĮarly Access games bedevil me to no end when writing these roundups. I’m old enough to remember when summer meant a few measly crumbs’ worth of interactive entertainment! Back in my day, we gnawed on the bones of late spring’s JRPGs until our characters were level 99 and we’d beaten all the optional bosses - they were all we had until the late autumn harvest of new titles! These days, all it means for games to have a “summer slump” is that the monthly avalanche of AAA titles is replaced by a bounty of smaller games, DLC, and swimwear-themed events in our preferred Games As Services. If you have already bought these DLCs, hey, you’re probably invested enough that you’ll pick this one up, too.Greetings, friends! We’ve made it through July, and with it what little remains of what was once the video game summer release doldrums. ![]() This story has been fleshed out via the previous paid DLCs Fatal Falls and The Bad Seed, and if you haven’t bought these DLCs then you’re not really getting the full experience. However, this DLC’s big narrative draw is three new late-game levels, with the third being a boss fight to tie of an alternate story path. The question is whether Dead Cells‘ newest paid DLC release, The Queen And The Sea, adds enough to warrant picking it up.Īs the target audience: The Queen And The Sea adds new content to a game I adore, so I enjoyed myself immensely. In my opinion Dead Cells is a 5-star all-time game. It feels about as dramatic as the last sentence, too, and the intensity is high from the game’s opening moments and doesn’t let up.
