As fun as the game can be it does end up feeling fairly lacking in content with only three game modes. For a game that just came out of early access you’d expect them to throw in one or two more competitive modes such as CTF but you’re stuck with...
Lovely Planet isn’t without its faults however and the main (and only) issue I have with this game is that certain levels can feel incredibly cheap and there’s a huge difficulty spike once you reach the fourth world. I’m mainly talking about the apple hazard and the enemies with homing...
I’m also not a big fan of the rock, paper, scissors mini-game either. It’s a fun way of making the intimidate/charm moments a little more engaging and with certain characters you can easily guess their pattern, but sometimes you get these really random choices by the AI which could end...
It was such a huge relief when you’re separated from your brother for almost an entire chapter and instead given a slew of disposable robots to help during puzzles. I gave more of a shit when the robot that just helped me solve a puzzle got crushed under a pillar...
It seems that in a way to sort of spice of the genre, FPS games of late have had XP systems added that allow players to unlock a variety of things. I’ve never been a big fan of XP in a shooting game since leveling up by killing terrorists so...
After finishing the game all I wanted to do was swing around collecting comic books and have fun but all that fun disappeared almost instantly when my maxed out hero meter dropped hard within the first ten minutes of finishing the game. Suddenly I was a huge menace to the...
Now some people are going to be disappointed at the removal of the mission creator that debuted in Infamous 2 but I personally couldn’t care less at its absence. I didn’t think there were enough good missions to counter the amount of trash but considering how little variety the side...
Besides the main campaign to go through you’ve also got the Kleidos Challenges which should keep you busy. These challenges offer a decent distraction from the main story, especially with the four objectives you can try to complete before the waves end. You’ll get things like keeping your focus meter...
There’s also no way to grind out fights for more points so the ones you get from the main and side quests are the only ones you’ll get which means you have to spend them wisely. Investing points in a few poor spots won’t ruin your character, but making...
The constant advertising never stops in this series with SWAP Force going out of its way to remind you to go buy more toys. There are quite a few times where it stops to mention how there are 200+ combinations you can make from the SWAP Force characters and there’s...
A Machine for Pigs drops the sprawling mansion of before in favor of 1899 Victorian London. The game smartly opens you up in a familiar feeling mansion then slowly takes you on a ride through the grimy industrial factories and sewers of the era. The scares are also just as...
Unfortunately the game is pretty lacking in content. All there is to do is the story, arcade, and versus modes. There is a pretty damn impressive training mode that slowly takes you through every detail of the game and I highly recommend starting with it if you’re somewhat inexperienced with...
