The MLB The Show series is the premier baseball game each year. The on-field experience from franchise to RTTS are core things we as fans look forward to every year. Even though most of my time is spent in RTTS turning my player into a future hall of famer, the improvements in MLB The Show 25 gives the game a breath of fresh air. I love the new upgrade system in RTTS, I really feel like I have more control over my players growth. I am overjoyed that I can grind and upgrade my cards in Diamond Dynasty, and they will not have to be retired after a certain period.
While not an “On field” simulation, OOTP shines as an immersive baseball management sim. While full of interfaces and information to interact with, you have full control of your favorite baseball team at your fingertips.
Monster hunter wilds is not a perfect game but its pretty close. I had few instances where in a fight my weapon would become sheathed. Which would cause me to either take damage or miss opportunities to land a big hit on the monster. It was not an important thing for me, but the story is linear, good but linear. I know for others that can cause them to lose interest.
There really is so much to love here. The dialogue you can choose from in your conversations, you can be nice, or if you wanted to be an asshole you had that option. Like I said, Avowed was more than I was hoping for. Xbox and Obsidian really might have Game of the Year on their hands. You can feel the love, hard work, and polish that Obsidian put in making this game. Avowed is a must play for any and every one, go get lost in The Living Lands.
I love an entertaining and fun beat’em up, something where you can control the pace, has enjoyable combat with some fun enemy and weapon variety. Big Helmet Heroes touches on all those things. The funny moments in the gameplay and cutscenes, to replaying levels to try to unlock the knight I missed, it’s all here. Not to mention the subtle yet amazing easter eggs.
Overall Necro Story is a truly fun and funny game. The comedic timing alone makes this a game I’m going to be recommending. It took me just under 8 hours to roll credits and I’m already planning my next playthrough. Necro Story is a game that doesn’t take itself to serious, it won’t waste your time and will have you chuckling left and right. Filled with RPG elements, fun battles, team management and strategy are all rolled into this game.
