Heroes of the Storm - Lost Vikings Patch Overview

A short overview, breakdown of the Lost Vikings patch in Heroes of the Storm.


In a few words:
  • New Hero: The Lost Vikings, (Olaf, Baleog, and Erik)
  • In-game Communication: It is now possible to view recent in-game chat messages by opening the chat box to type a new message
  • A new Quest Log button has been added to the lower-right portion of the bottom navigation bar, next to the Friends List button
  • Player Profile - a lot of updates
  • The tracking and penalties for leaving in-progress Quick Match and Hero League games before they are finished have been changed:
Leaving multiple Hero League or Quick Match games without reconnecting will now flag the player to receive the following penalties:
-The flagged player will be disallowed from queuing for Hero League games until a Quick Match game is played to completion.
-Leaving additional games early will cause the number of Quick Match games required to increase.
-When a player who is flagged for leaving games early joins a party, the entire party will also become subject to these penalties.
-Leaving a Hero League game during Draft Mode will now only penalize and flag the player who left the draft, and will no longer penalize the rest of that player’s party members.
In addition, the flagged player will still lose a significant number of Ranked Points upon leaving Draft Mode.

We got many nerfs and buffs, you can find the full patch notes here :

All Heroes of the Storm - Quick Guide for Ranked Gameplay

Along with Blizzard's new option, to buy access to beta version of Heroes of the Storm, by buying the Founder's Pack, a lot of people new to the game want, and need more information to know how to play, what character is more powerful, which character to use in ranked games, and how to choose the right one, and so on.

I thought that a quick guide to all heroes of the storm would be useful (a sort of buyer's guide) Please keep in mind that the info presented here reflects my views and my views alone and are relevant at the time of publishing.

Let me Try - Astray (PC Game on Steam)

Astray is a first person horror/puzzle game set in a recent past setting, the action takes place at and around a old museum.... So is it any good ? Short answer is "Yes it is".
Let's get into the "why?"

-Very good atmospheric sound, highlighting unusual events such as a door slamming with good directional placement.
-The graphics are done well for a game of this price, never being to dodgy to break the feeling.
-The UI is minimalist which in my opinion is ideal because it helps you get fully immersed into the actual game.
-The plot is moved along by notes which you can find scattered across all of the exhibits, it pays to read these so you get the overall picture of what is going on in the scary old museum.
-The puzzles are pretty straight forward from what i played never being to complicated and frustrating the player, the point of such a game is not to put your brain on overdrive with solving puzzles but to give you a rush of adrenaline.

The wrap this up i would like to point out that i do not play allot of horror games because well... I'm a bit sensitive to them :) so keep that in mind. I do not think that a hard-core player of horror games will be to scared but for a occasional player such as myself the game delivers the punch it sets out to.
You can not really ask more then the game provides at this price point, its a solid recommendation from me.
If you would like to get a better view on the game you can check out my first impressions video:

Let me Try - Karmaflow: The Rock Opera Videogame

I am not going to waste your time or mine so i'm telling you from the start that this game is not finished and has major issues.


But first...what i do like :
-Graphical style is charming and fresh
-The mood the game sets...somehow trying to mirror Journey
-The few but nice narrative music solos

And the issues :
-Mouse lag in the menus and no support for keyboard navigation
-You can not overwrite a already in progress game
-Some puzzles bug-out and stop working
-No subtitles so you may or may not understand what is going on
-Frames locked at 60
-Main menu looks and is underwhelming.
-Crashes




Overall there is no doubt this game is rushed and un-optimized.
It is simply another case of a great idea full of potential that is trashed by rushing a unfinished product to market...Why you ask ? I'm guessing the usual reason.
I can not recommend such a game to anyone...shame... i was looking forward to this.
