Lifeless Planet hits you with a kind of preachy undertone that makes you think about the way we use our own planet. Human beings treat Earth as if everything will be around forever, consuming our precious finite resources on a rapid scale for our own selfish creature comforts. I can...
The violence in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is what you’d expect from a shooter including limbs that can be severed or exploded by your bullets. That’s all well and good, I just didn’t find Wolfenstein: The Old Blood to really bring anything new to the genre. Sure, it’s a good...
It might seem that I’m coming off quite harsh, but I’m pretty damn disappointed with this game and rightfully so. This was supposed to be Schafer’s glorious return to the genre but instead I got a somewhat decent adventure game that honestly could have been made by any other developer...
There are plenty of things to spend your diamonds on in Crypt of the NecroDancer though, so you shouldn’t have any problems finding something you want. There are various merchants in the lobby that you’ll have to find keys to gain access to, including a Dungeon Master that sells permanent...
Acid Nerve expects you to replay Titan Souls. It only took me 2h 33m to fight my way through the final boss with around 250 deaths and 15 kills. Upon completion new options like “Hard Mode” and “Iron Man” unlock to give some replay value for those dedicated and skilled...
Unbelievably, there are more ways to play. Free Roam is just a sandbox version of the story, with no objective and no end-game conditions so thatplayers can move freely as any kind of in-game bread. There’s Zero-G, a mode in which you are placed back into the same maps, but...
Westerado: Double Barreled features local co op so you and a friend can have a retro romp through the wild west just like you always wanted. I tried co op out with my brother and it was pretty fun, I just wish Westerado : Double Barreled supported online co op.
If I had one major complaint about the game it’d be the inability to visit the blacksmith while playing online. This is a mind boggling exclusion and makes me wonder why they didn’t bother to implement it in Kiwami. The whole point of playing with others online is to hunt...
The glitch gun reacts differently to each enemy. In some cases it increases the hit-box of smaller enemies making them easier to destroy, while in other cases it makes larger enemies more agitated with a smaller hit-box. I found poking and prodding the systems a lot of fun, and accidentally...
The Final Word Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a game for fans of the show, fighting games and MMOs alike. Although some elements are technologically challenged or more or less average, this game is enjoyable. With fleshed out leveling, combat and skill systems, Dragon Ball Xenoverse can keep you engaged for months...
Another, although slight, annoyance is the lack of menu options to switch games. If you’re playing Homeworld and decide you want to switch over to Homeworld 2 or one of the classic versions then you have to quit the game, relaunch it, and then select the version of Homeworld you...
The other multiplayer offering is the Be the Zombie mode. In it you play as a suped up version of a zombie that will invade the games of other players. Killing other players and protecting your nests will net you XP that you can then use to purchase new skills...
