GORN 2 is the skull-crushing sequel to VR smash hit GORN. New developers Cortopia, working alongside original series creators Free Lives, are stepping into the arena to take on virtual reality’s most outrageous gladiator sim.
In GORN 2 you will ascend to a heavenly realm where the souls of all the gladiators you slaughtered in the first game now dwell—and kill them again. Expect new weapons, new arenas, new traps, new enemies, and new bosses as you raise Hell in the heavens and prove your battle prowess before an army of terrifying foes.
This brutally slapstick brawler will be making its way to Meta Quest, SteamVR, and PSVR2 later this year, with in-your-face combat so irresponsibly violent you’ll check your headset for blood spatters when the fight is over.
Key features
Engage in fierce gladiatorial battles powered by an outrageous fully physics-driven combat engine, savagely striking down foes with a bountiful collection of 35 devastating, uniquely violent weapons–including many monstrous new additions to your gladiator’s arsenal
Journey through a series of heavenly realms populated by the fallen heroes of the original game. Here you’ll battle the five sons’ champions: powerful bosses primed to unleash fresh challenges upon even the most seasoned, blood-flecked arena veteran
GORN 2 is everything GORN was but MORE. More weapons, more enemies, more arenas, more traps, more power-ups, and more hilariously over-the-top combat. If you loved the first game, but still feel a raging yearning for more, GORN 2 will sate your blood-thirst
Conquered all five heavenly arenas? Then stand your ground in the relentless non-stop onslaught of Endless Mode, or try creating your own battlefields of destruction in Custom Mode. Get creative and crush your opponents any way you choose, no matter how outlandish
GORN 2 will launch later this year on Meta Quest, SteamVR, and PSVR2.
When it comes to a good heist movie, some of the best parts tend to be the build-up to the actual heist. Putting together an eclectic crew with the right set of skills to pull off a job without a hitch. Well, what if things were backwards and most of the heists had already happened and a potential heist member forgot nearly everything about it besides that she is right in the middle of what is meant to be their biggest payoff? That’s where Sol Dorado Heist comes in, a short visual novel from Megalixir Games that recently arrived on consoles following a PC release a few years ago. Delivering a couple hour experience at a fairly cheap price, does Sometimes You’s latest port hit the jackpot or is it a bust for this visual novel?
Story
Alex Thorn wakes up in a swanky hotel room with absolutely no idea how she got there. Besides a massive headache and a few foggy memories that may place her right at the scene of an imminent crime, Alex has very little to go on until she ventures out into the lobby where she meets detective Drake Carrigan who questions her about why she has been appearing so frequently near the locations of so many recent casino robberies. Despite not naming her a suspect, Carrigan reveals that the police suspect that the perpetrator is targeting the popular Sol Dorado Casino next, the very casino she has vague memories of. She also learns from him that the media, and the police as a result, have taken to calling the thief the Silence Ace.
With the police already closing in to surveil the target, Alex must conduct her own investigation despite her memory loss if it means saving her own skin and potentially someone else’s, because if she can’t figure out who the Silent Ace is before they pull off the heist or is arrested, not only will she be left with nothing, but also complicit with their crime, landing her squarely behind bars. This leads to a short but fairly satisfying three chapter investigation filled with colorful characters and Vegas references that takes roughly two hours to completely complete which unfortunately doesn’t quite give many of them too much of a chance to shine.
Keeping a story short and sweet is far from a bad thing but in the case of Sol Dorado Heist it might work well for its core storyline, keeping things rather brisk and delivering a couple of expected but fitting twists here and there, but it does something of a disservice to its characters that are unfortunately relegated to being one note cliches or mysteries until the last few minutes of each of the game’s four primary endings. There is a fifth one though that isn’t quite the ending one would aim for. Ironically, despite offering choices throughout the storyline most of the actual choices simply provide extra tidbits of information or in a few instances show off a CG or interaction that might have otherwise been missed. Instead, the only choice that actually matters is the final one that dictates which of the aforementioned four endings players will receive
As mentioned before, Alex’s interactions with the various members of the cast such as the mysterious but charismatic Rebecca Mendoza, Drake Carrigan as a fresh detective looking to make a name for himself, Jack Viper the enigmatic magician or even Bennie Hart whose dad puns rival only his downtrodden aura and even a few characters that only have a few appearances feel as if they could easily have been fleshed out more throughout the storyline. This is especially true since many of these developments would have made Alex much more of an interesting main character as a result since here amnesia storyline isn’t the most gripping.
Instead, as mentioned, most of the actual major revelations and developments happen only in the game’s multiple endings. In fact players will want to see at least a few of these as the core storyline remains the same regardless, including the actual culprit, meaning every new piece of information about the characters is welcome even if it does mean that there is unfortunately no actual way of “solving” the case yourself or providing variety by changing the culprit depending on player choice. This means that once players complete Sol Dorado Heist, there’s very little reason to return to it.
Gameplay
Considering this is a visual novel there really isn’t much in the way of actual gameplay involved. In fact Megalixir Games even went a bit light on this as well compared to the usual visual novel. Players have the standard option to simply press a button to continue reading, skip dialogue that is oddly default set to everything rather than previously read only, and being able to re-read the dialogue log.
There is surprisingly no method to set the game to auto-continue dialogue despite there being a setting for it, though considering there is even a setting for voices that is also absent, perhaps this was meant to be included and just never made it in. Other than that, players will find that a CG gallery will slowly unlock for every CG players have seen in the game, though as mentioned before a few are locked behind non-consequential choices.
Audio & Visuals
It is nice to note that all of the artwork in Sol Dorado Heist is originally drawn and there is quite a bit of detail to both the backgrounds of various parts of Vegas as well as inside the casino. The character portraits are something of a mixed bag, with some characters almost appearing as if they were drawn by a completely separate artist than others and it must be said that Alex desperately needed either more pose variations or far fewer “shocked” reactions as the she will often flail randomly during scenes, looking both incredibly strange in comparison to other characters and flashbanging players as well as these are often accompanied by so many rapid flashes of light it felt like a photosensitivity test.
As mentioned before, despite there being a setting for voice volume, there is no actual voice work in the game besides crowd sound effects and other standard sound effects. The background music is made up of fairly standard sounding tracks that work well enough, with the background track often changing to match the character Alex is currently interacting with.
Overall
Sol Dorado Heist is far from a bad visual novel, but it’s not really a good one either. Thanks to its short length the storyline keeps a brisk pace at the cost of sacrificing potentially enjoyable character moments that could easily have been fleshed out or developed far better given a longer run time. While the title may feature multiple endings, they almost all boil down to one choice at the end and while the backgrounds are nicely drawn and some of the character portraits are nice, the lack of voice work, generic background music, and overuse of flashing effects makes it feel like this visual novel stayed when it should have hit at the blackjack table, even for its low cost.

Nuclear disaster is never a good thing. In real life, that is. In video games, it can lead to some fantastic things. It can give us the Fallout series and Metro games, and we can always relax by climbing the towers or hunting the collectibles in Far Cry New Dawn. The rush of shooting at enemies with only 4-5 bullets left in the clip, scavenging for food and water, finding shelter before the night comes – life in the post-apocalyptic games can be pretty amazing. And that’s exactly what Rebellion is trying to make us feel with Atomfall. These devs have honed their craft with the great Sniper Elite series, but will this expedition in the uncharted waters with a new genre (at least for them) pay off in the end? Let’s find out.
Story
The game is set in the aftermath of the disaster at the Windscale nuclear power station, and it is up to you to find out what exactly happened. Fun fact: This is based on the actual nuclear disaster that happened in 1957 in the UK, which you can read more about here. Anyway, to solve this mystery, you will need to navigate through military camps, ruined houses, and abandoned bunkers and deal with paramilitary, scavengers, and cultists. Solving the mystery is anything but straightforward – you will meet a lot of eccentric characters and a strange advisor that only helps by randomly placed red telephone booths all over the country. The story will sometimes go from weird to intriguing with a bit of abstract sprinkled from the pages of Monty Python.
Gameplay
The beginning is as standard as you might expect. You wake up with no recollection of who you are, where you are supposed to go, and you’re slowly picking up the pieces of the story (and our goals) as you search for food and supplies. Pretty soon, crafting in the game is introduced, along with some melee weapons and firearms. You’ll be mostly fighting enemies with cricket bats, hatchets, sicles, and so on since the ammo in the game is limited unless you decide to explore every nook and cranny. Also, every shot counts, and going for anything except for headshots is a waste of ammo. If you survive long enough in these barely inhabited lands, you’ll be able to upgrade the firearms, learn more crafting recipes, and unlock plenty of skills.
The enemies are not rich in variety, you’ll be going against humans, robots, blue glowing mutants, and occasional swarms of bees and birds. What I do have to praise is a simple and smart enemy AI, too often we see in games enemies with weapons that will switch to melee when you get close to them (thus that can be exploited every time) but in this game if they have firearms enemies will always keep their distance, go behind the cover and flank you. But that can also be countered as soon as you unlock the skill to throw melee weapons at them. Oh, my gun is empty? No worries, here is that empty revolver right into your face! There is also some big exploration factor once you find the metal detector and go nuts on finding the caches. Another thing that I liked is the flexibility in finishing the quests. There is an overarching task in the game of finding a couple of atomic batteries, and you can get your hands on them by exploring abandoned sites or trading, but what happens when you don’t have enough resources to barter with someone? It’s easy: just shoot them in their face and take everything (that is, if you can live with what you just did). With that said, I do like the trading mechanic and the lack of actual currency in the game. If anything, it makes everything far more authentic.
Visuals
This is the part of the game that didn’t impress me, and honestly, it dragged down the overall experience. While the game can look fairly decent when played on the highest graphical settings, the moment you lower them—even slightly—the visuals take a serious hit. The environments become muddy, textures look flat, and the entire aesthetic starts to feel outdated. I’ll give credit where it’s due: the level designs in the early stages, especially the bunkers and half-ruined cityscapes, are well-crafted and atmospheric. But beyond that, the environments begin to feel repetitive, almost as if they were built using a limited set of assets that were just copy-pasted across different areas. The character animations and facial models are also underwhelming, particularly for enemies. To make matters worse, the game features respawning enemies who all come back with those same bland, lifeless expressions—which kills immersion in a game that’s supposed to reward exploration.
Audio
Well……the voice actors really tried. I’ll give them that much credit. You can tell there was some genuine effort and emotion put into their performances. There’s a certain energy and commitment in how their lines are delivered, and you can tell they were doing their best with the material they were given. Unfortunately, none of the characters in the game stand out or feel compelling. They’re all bland archetypes, and their stories are either predictable or just not interesting. The dialogue often feels cliche and exhausting to sit through. As for the music, it behaves most weirdly—randomly popping in and out with no rhyme or reason. Sometimes, I’ll wander around for hours in complete silence, and then suddenly, a dramatic theme kicks in like it’s signaling a major boss fight, but nothing happens. The weapons are equally uninspired, sounding generic and recycled like they used stock sound effects for everything.
Overall
One thing I can say about this game with great praise is its stability. No crashing, no game-breaking bugs. Actually, there are no bugs at all in my playthroughs. It is fairly well optimized. No microtransactions either – what you see is what you get. Unfortunately, what we got is nothing exactly impressive. The game is too short for its price, and after one playthrough, every next one feels like a slog. I liked Atomfall to some extent because it tried to bring something new to the table, but at the end of the day, it is a game with an uninspiring gameplay loop, and I don’t see how they could make a sequel and improve on its shortcomings.
