Shows traditional challenges found common in retro shoot 'em up side scrolling games are still a blast to play.
Coast Guard is strongest when it is doing ship operations and after that, it tends to get bogged down in a quagmire of oddity.
Even with the AI sometimes leaving you to scratch your head in wide eyed wonder at why they did what they did, Warhammer 40,000 Regicide is wickedly cool to play, with its tactical chess like playing and the campaign story that is just enough for a grand adventure to gear up the players interest which successfully ties it all together. In the end Warhammer 40,000 Regicide is worth playing and we hope to see some possible DLC in the future to expand and lengthen the life of this bloody surprise of a game.
All in all, there may not be enough substance for a gamer to really stick around and play the game more than a few times in curiosity. While there is some enjoyment to be had, you may have to be a real fan of giant monster movies to really appreciate this title. As a fan I want to really like this game more than I do… as a writer and fellow consumer, I can see that the game is rough and could have done with some polishing up and tweaking such as larger maps to really feel like you as a giant monster had the run of the world.
In short, Samurai Warriors 4-II is another game in the series that will be lots of fun if you like fighting massive mobs with a cast of different characters including some of your own custom characters. It can be a lot of fun slashing through armies and feeling like a powerful warrior while taking part in a historical period of Japanese history.
A side -scroller with mixed elements of gaming that casts enough of a spell to keep you playing.
I had a lot of fun playing the game, it has enough depth to keep you interested, but not so much going on that if you are new to this sort of gaming you would feel lost. It's pretty cool indeed. Once in awhile the AI was a little stupid, but it was not so much that the game was not enjoyable. Pen, paper and dice gamers will also feel right at home and this game seriously feeds the gaming beast until your next gaming convention.
Batman Arkham Knight is another success story for Rocksteady Studios who once again create one of the most flawless Batman experiences to date that really dwarfs what came before it. Sure it has some parallels to the previous game but the new tweaks, challenges and storyline really takes this franchise to a new level and good luck to any other developer who tries to make the next instalment of a superhero game. Beautifully presented, slick gameplay and a storyline that in my books is better than the recent films, Batman Arkham Knight is a fitting way to end this franchise on a true high!
With a small mix of skills to be leveled up, some passive skills and various other things that make a good RPG style game, The Incredible Adventure of Van Helsing III exits with this final adventure that goes out with some level of closure. Fans will be satisfied, even if this final jaunt is shorter when compared to the other two in the game series. Van Helsing III may be the end of the series but it will make you want to play them all if you have missed the other instalments.
It's an enigma of a game, its visuals compel you to want to play, to explore and see what happens next, but the game play and delivery… from the controls to the camera view system seeks to sabotage the experience. It's not a bad game at all, it's just another game in a crowd. Once played through there is not enough there for a revisit. But there is enough there to visit at least once.
Son of Nor has some promise, delivers a passable game… but can be so much better. If you come into this knowing you're playing what can be considered an Indy title you won't be let down as much. There are some good things going on, and it may hold your interest a bit… if nothing else than for the interesting abilities that are bestowed on the playable character.
Dying Light is a fun game on the PlayStation 4 that definitely borrows heavily from the zombie genre and although the gameplay is not new, the inclusion of Parkour definitely adds a real element of excitement. However the Parkour can also be quite frustrating as a poorly timed jump can lead to your death on more than one occasion.
TellTale games is on a big stride here! They hit it with The Walking Dead Season and the follow up The Walking Dead 400 days and they are on another winner with The Wolf Among Us. All in all, the Wolf Among Us is an excellent game that is best played on a high-end console as it gives the entire experience, a movie-like feel!
GoD Factory: Wingmen is a very welcome game to a genre that needed something like this to come along and bring out the love of space ship to ship battles again.
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is an instant classic...its a no brainer.
Even with a not so strong career mode, the racing can still be fun.
In summary, Wildstar is an enjoyable game with its ups and downs. It isn't breaking new ground, but it is taking existing ground and moving it in fun and unique ways. If you go in wanting a fun MMO, this will serve its purpose. If you go in wishing for something that replaces every other MMO out there, well, you'll always be looking. Nonetheless, the game is worth playing and it is worth a subscription.
It won't light the gaming world on fire, but it's still a good way to spend a few hours when looking for something relaxing to play.
A Mash up game with surprising fun game play!
It is clear that the developers put their entire heart in this game and wanted to make something fun. Personally, I feel they succeeded and highly recommend the game once it is released in the next few days. The game's price is an amazing deal and well worth it. To emphasize how fun it was, when I was previewing the game and the time was up I was surprised that it had already been over three hours when it had only felt like one. It is easy to lose track of time in the enjoyment of the game. And a game that is so fun you lose track of time is a good game indeed.
