Despite not having seen or watched more than a random episode or two over the last ten plus years I remain steadfast in my affection for the Dragon Ball Z series. Of course, while I still love the anime, I’d be the first to admit that I don’t remember many details other than some really big moments and overall storyline. As such, I was more than a little eager to jump back into the anime series that I loved so much as a youngster. And though it might not be a perfect addition to the constantly expanding DBZ game collection, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is certainly a nice little homage to the franchise.
Spooky things always happen at night. If the Nightmare on Elm Street taught us anything, it’s that you should never, never fall asleep when there’s creepy business afoot. A small town is experiencing blackouts, and residents are waking up with no recollection of the acts they’ve committed while they’re asleep. The Blackout Club has a simple enough premise where a group of teenagers investigate what’s going on in their town. As it turns out this co-op horror title is so, so much more complex than the first moments might lead to you believe. With gameplay that promises to be equal parts terrifying and intense from the get-go, it’s likely you’ll find yourself drawn into the thrill of it all, yearning to play more.
Though I’ve never been one to necessarily gravitate towards racing simulators, there’s no denying that on first glance F1 2019 looks fantastic. Drawn in with the hope that it can only be as good as it looked, and with Codemasters promising that this game is set to be the best we’ve seen from the entire franchise, I decided to take a ride and there is absolutely no doubt that this racer is one for the books.
Sundered originally released in 2017, by the same developers of Jotun and while I missed the opportunity to jump into this metroidvania style hack-and-slash, almost two years later they’ve released the Eldritch Edition completed with brand new updates. With a bit more content to try out, I thought it was time to take the plunge.
As a fan of the anime Attack on Titan, this game was an absolute must for me to pick up. With epic titan killing in all its glory, it just seemed so right. But how does Attack on Titan 2 compare to my expectations? Let’s just say, hype doesn’t necessarily spell success.
Lego Worlds brings the open world building of Minecraft to a more creative place. As a fan of previous Lego games I wanted to see how well an open world sandbox building game would play out in the world of Lego, and the results are pretty interesting! There are some occasional bugs and glitches, and the controls can be frustrating, making the game a bit tedious to play at times. Although not without issues, Lego Worlds is fun and creative, combining the building with a storyline, offering a ton of customization abilities.
