In general, I thoroughly enjoyed playing Mythwrecked. Although the visuals and audio weren’t my cup of tea, the gameplay and storyline scratched an itch I didn’t even know I had. If you like casual games that you can drop and pick up at will, this one will be right up your alley. With over 30 achievements, plenty of items to hoard, and a cozy atmosphere, I encourage anyone looking for a relaxing world to escape in to give this game a shot.
Not only does co-op (for up to three players!) make the game feel a lot lighter, but it’s done extremely well, too. One of my biggest gripes with co-op experiences is when you feel like whoever you’re playing with is holding you back, even if that’s just your perception. I can get frustrated when the cameras are locked together, or when your teammate leaves you in the dust. Windblown addresses these problems and so many more. Your cameras are independent of each other, but if you get separated, you can teleport directly to them in just a few seconds. Also, there isn’t much room for fighting over loot, as most of it’s shared equally between the team. You can even find boosts that benefit everyone!
Crypt Custodian has the potential to be one of my favorite games I’ve played all year. I’m so glad that I left my comfort zone to play this game, because it far exceeded my expectations. The story is compelling, the characters are endearing, and it’s all topped off with truly magnificent gameplay.
Although I admittedly have a soft spot for Otome games, Celestia: Chain of Fate has quickly become one of my favorites. Of course, attractive love interests are a must-have, but I’m always looking for a great story to go with them. Celestia goes above and beyond with its storyline, both in quality and quantity.
The story is a bit mysterious, but I think that it adds an extra layer of intrigue to the game. It’s not all just monotonous city management. I was hoping for a game that wasn’t overwhelming or confusing; something that I could lose myself in for hours and not feel burnt-out. It was such a pleasant surprise to find that in Highrise City and I’d highly recommend it to anyone interested in city simulators!
