Developed in Irvine, California, Obsidian Entertainment is a game developer. Known for the popular Pillars of Eternity series and South Park: The Stick of Truth, this company has won several game development awards. Their games are a mix of science fiction and action. Founded in 2004, Obsidian’s games have earned fans’ and critics’ praise. In addition to developing great video games, they also produce many popular shows.
Grounded
In Obsidian Entertainment’s new multiplayer survival game Grounded, players take on the role of a lost teen who must find a way to return home. The game has a retro, 1990s vibe and is set in a backyard. During the game, insignificant objects and creatures will become huge obstacles and deadly threats. Players must use their wits to survive and make their way home.
The television adaptation of Grounded will be set in the same universe as the game, with four friends attempting to survive in their backyard by finding ways to shrink. As they try to find ways to escape from their backyard, they uncover a corporate conspiracy. Grounded is being directed by Brien Goodrich, who previously worked on the Halo video games. The game will be released on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in September 2022.
The zany world of Grounded is based in a suburb. Players shrink to insect size and face various hazards while trying to survive. Players must build structures, collect food, and build bases to survive in the harsh environment. The game is a first-party Xbox Game Studios title and is available on Xbox Game Pass from the day it launches. With its survival aspect, Grounded is a unique experience for Xbox players.
Obsidian Entertainment is busy with several projects. Its co-op shrunken kid survival adventure game Grounded is still in early access, but it will soon be a full release. Another project is a TV series based on Grounded. Star Wars: The Clone Wars writer Brent Friedman has already picked up this adaptation. This means that the game will reach a wide audience.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
Developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Versus Evil, Pillars of Eternity II: The Deadfire is the sequel to the critically acclaimed role-playing video game Pillars of Eternity (2015). It will be released in May 2018 for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. It features a similar storyline to the original game. To learn more about the game, continue reading this article.
Continuing the original Pillars of Eternity franchise, Pillars of Eternity II: The Deadfire continues the saga of the pirates and the elves with excellent combat and character-defining choices. Deadfire combines classic RPG fundamentals with a pirate theme for a fun, albeit tense, gaming experience. It is recommended for gamers who enjoyed the original Pillars of Eternity.
The game is an excellent sequel to the original Pillars of Eternity and includes all of the DLC from the first game. It features a similar storyline and lets players take on the role of “The Watcher,” a powerful character that can read souls and memories. There are also new features that will make the game even more immersive. The gameplay and graphics of Pillars II: The Deadfire are excellent, and I highly recommend it.
The game features three main areas. The first is the Oathbinder’s Sanctum, which is the largest, with the toughest encounters. Once you’ve cleared it, you can continue to the next island, Maje Island. Each of these islands can be explored in any order, but completing each is essential to progressing in the story. But remember to ensure you have enough funds to complete the game before you buy it.
The game also features a new faction called The Beast of Winter. This new faction has a doomsday cult that worships Rymrgand, the god of entropy and death. This new faction is also a great addition to the game. Despite this new addition, the game still maintains the core of Pillars of Eternity. If you’re looking for an RPG with an interesting storyline, Pillars of Eternity II: The Deadfire is a great choice.
Dungeon Siege III
Obsidian Entertainment has announced that Dungeon Siege III will be its next big game. The game will feature co-operative multiplayer, a rich story, customizable character classes, and many new companions. Players will also be presented with various difficult decisions that will determine the battle’s outcome. Obsidian, a subsidiary of Square Enix that previously developed Supreme Commander 2 and other popular PC games, will develop the game.
Dungeon Siege III follows the action RPG structure popularized by Blizzard’s Diablo. This game offers a more intense pace without sacrificing traditional RPG staples. While up to four players per game, only the host character retains their items and experience. This is a serious omission. If you’re planning on playing Dungeon Siege III for a long time, it is a solid action RPG that deserves to be played by anyone who enjoys the genre.
Dungeon Siege III’s visuals aren’t perfect, but they are solid enough. The character models and environments are well-done, although NPCaEUR(TM)s during dialogue scenes are severely lacking. Weapons and armor are colorful and provide a nice touch to the game. Special abilities light up the screen and provide a different level of enjoyment. Unfortunately, the camera makes it difficult to see your enemies.
The game’s lore is pretty bland. It is designed to further immerse players in the game’s world but doesn’t accomplish this goal very well. It also takes a lot of time, which is a serious problem for a game that is supposed to be about exploration and completing quests. As a result, the lore doesn’t feel that important.
As with the previous game, Dungeon Siege III takes place in the world of Ehb, where the Tenth Legion is in ruins. The king of Ehb’s last descendant grudges against the Legion, and the rest of the people are trying to rebuild their kingdom. In the process, they must defeat Jeyne Kassynder’s forces to restore the brotherhood.
South Park: The Stick of Truth
This game is an homage to the hit animated series South Park. It features the same striking art style and raw comedy as the original series. Unlike other games based on the show, Stick of Truth does not feature the usual RPG elements. However, it does feature some great gameplay, including an online multiplayer mode and several unique character abilities. It is an adult game, so there is no need to worry if you have children in your household or do not enjoy South Park.
The game is played in a third-person perspective from the New Kid’s point of view. You can explore South Park and interact with the different characters. Moreover, you can take on quests and progress through the storyline. The game also allows you to choose one of four character archetypes. Each of these archetypes has different abilities and specialties, so you’ll have plenty of fun trying to complete them.
While the game is more violent than South Park, the ratings are much looser than those on television. The Stick of Truth also features obscene and explicit content. In addition, the game features stronger Jew class abilities, with the most powerful abilities available when you have a single hit point. While playing, remember that you’re bound by the terms and conditions of the PlayStation Network and that there may be additional conditions associated with the product.
As you progress through the game, you’ll find items to collect. You’ll be able to find them by exploring different houses, finding hidden backpacks and collectibles, and chatting with people. You can even find a turd on a toilet! In addition, the Stick of Truth can even be equipped with snowballs. Getting the loot is part of the game’s humor and is the core of the game’s gameplay.
After the game’s success, Obsidian Entertainment was contacted by the creators of South Park. The two men, Trey and Matt, decided to make the game themselves after discovering the popularity of role-playing video games. As a result, they were able to fund the early development of the game themselves. However, the game’s development was delayed due to censorship issues.
