Sable
Sable is a disappointment. It’s a high-minded concept, and at times the audiovisual package carries you to the game that was meant to be. When you get a few minutes without bugs, without camera issues, without your bike trying to return to its home planet, you can slide into that...
Boyfriend Dungeon is a unique game, but it hits every mark it aims for. While parts of the visual design don’t pop as well as the gorgeous character art and animated scenes, that’s a minor element of an amazing experience. It doesn’t matter if you’re solely a fan of dungeon...
Serious Sam 4
Serious Sam 4 isn’t as linear as previous games in the series. There are secondary quests within levels to obtain exclusive weaponry and make the character strong as hell. Once a level has had every single enemy dispatched of you are able to freely explore the environment which turns out,...
In terms of length, I was expecting to finish Peril On Gorgon in a single day but the amount of added content was enough to keep me busy for more than 10 hours which is perfect for a DLC. It includes an increased level cap, the addition of new perks,...
The game has very low requirements to run properly, and I could max the settings with a 1050ti. However, in terms of performance and graphics, there is nothing to highlight. There are many bugs and glitches that can affect the performance and most of the scenarios use dark colors with...
Developers, Genius Slackers, made a very interesting concept of what happens while consuming drugs, using all types of scenarios, playing with geometry, intense camera changes, and unexpected choices and consequences. What Happened feels like it lacks content being the replayability value what saves it. In case you know someone who...
While even the simplest quests can take a grueling amount of effort to complete, they’re also hampered by the poor UI and system performance. Playing the game on the Nintendo Switch means weathering a lackluster resolution and fluctuating framerate. There were even a few game-breaking bugs I experienced which required...
While Twin Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Adventure would never be mistaken as the next Shatter, it’s still an entertaining brick breaker throwback with an ambitious first contact narrative and plenty of replay value including extra modes and well-written unlockable missives. At $10, it’s a great deal too including PS4/Vita cross-buy...
Coffee Talk utilizes all of its aspects of relaxing atmosphere to tell a meaningful narrative. From the dialogue on the interpersonal issues characters are facing, to the short stories which are created by Freya, the writing is overall excellent. Characters go through meaningful arcs that are measured eloquently. Even though...
In terms of longevity, it took me around 3 hours to complete the entirety of AVICII Invector’s collection of music. As I completed each song, I also gained access to their harder counterparts. The skill-ceiling is moderately high and required me to practice and memorize sections in order to get...
Masquerada is pretty and plays well but I think it’s reasonable that we can expect more from a game’s story than just having one. Storytelling basics like pacing and ‘showing not telling’ are the difference between Masquerada and Journey. Jam packing a lot of story into a game is not...
As with any RPG, the pure addicting joy of getting gear with higher and higher numbers is enjoyable. Despite my many qualms with Anthem, it’s an investment game and I have indeed become invested. My Javelin’s gear score is currently at 470 and I look forward to earning more Masterwork...
