About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

Dolmen is a third-person action/RPG, where sci-fi and cosmic horror have mixed in an engrossing gameplay experience!

Influenced by HP Lovecraft and modern pop culture, Dolmen shows how merciless the universe can be outside the known parameters we are accustomed to. The player needs to overcome vicious bosses and survive in hostile environments, as the unique story reveals secrets of a mysterious crystal called Dolmen.

In Dolmen you are introduced to the alien world of Revion Prime as the only survivor of a crew of astronauts in the distant future. This investigation focuses the past and present of an alien planet as seen through the eyes of a human being. He has been brought to a place never seen before, with no resources and unprepared for what he will find there. Exploration and adaptability shall be used to unveil some truth about what really happened to him.

Since the history of the human race is based on evolution and the ability to endure suffering, maybe he will triumph against adversity — or maybe he won't.


Key Features:

  • Explore a Devastated, Darkly Beautiful Planet: Revion Prime is an alien world, with environments inspired by the work of macabre artists like H.R. Giger and H.P. Lovecraft, that challenges you to unearth its dark history by connecting fragments of the past.
  • Engage in Fast-Paced Dynamic Combat: Combat is intense and heavily based on timing, mixing melee-based attacks, Over-the-Shoulder (OTS) perspective long-range shooting and the use of defensive maneuvers such as dodging and blocking.
  • Adapt or Perish; Craft to Survive: Mankind, so we believe, has become a prevalent species due to its ability to endure and adapt to inhospitable environments. Build up your skills and scavenge what little resources are available to create items and customize your equipment. You're going to need anything you can find to live to see another day.

Dolmen is currently targeting a 2022 release for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
