In the end, Chicken Police: Into the Hive is a thrilling sequel to Chicken Police: Paint it Red. If you play the game without playing the original, there are some key moments referenced that will leave you feeling confused, however, the game does a decent enough job quickly glancing over it to not take you out of the overall experience.
The campaign is a fresh new experience that ties the events from previous Black Ops titles together in a creative and fun way. Multiplayer shows promise with its changes to movement and weapon variety; it could use some more open or bigger maps but as it is, can still be a fun experience.
If you grew up with Backyard Baseball, you will feel a sense of nostalgia like reconnecting with a childhood friend you haven’t seen in a long time. The gameplay is simple enough and smooth enough that a new player can pick up the game and just play while a returning veteran will know some tricks of the trade.
Super Mario Party Jamboree is the best entry in the franchise yet and I recommend you pick it up this holiday. Even those who may not like the previous Mario Parties can enjoy different aspects of this game.
So if you are looking for a different kind of Souls-like experience then it is worth picking up Enotria: The Last Song. If you are just looking for a new action-adventure game to check out then you might want to consider something else. Maybe once the game is released on the Xbox Series X, it will be more stable.
DeathSprint 66 is a fun action-packed racer whose only flaws are a lack of an online community and a themed story mode. The game does have some latency issues which cause some untimely deaths that can seem like bugs. The game does require a minimum of 10 GB of RAM which can be a lot for older computers.
If you are on the fence about picking up Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, then you shouldn’t wait. Once you get into the game, the combat is smooth and will keep your heart-racing. Despite its bugs, the game is still a ton of fun and will suck you into the war you never knew you wanted to fight.
Although it is always fun to play a new Jackbox Party Pack, the Jackbox Naughty Pack misses the mark slightly with its selection of games and limited game modes. Two of the games feel too similar to other game modes that Jackbox In has put out before and feel you are paying for something that you could create on your own. The adult topics are raunchy at first but a majority of the questions and prompts feel like they were written by children pretending to be adults. Honestly, it would have been interesting if Jackbox pushed the envelope a bit further and gave more options; it felt like they played it too safe.
If you are considering picking up this game it is better to wait until it goes on sale than to buy it at full price. The game can be completed in 2 to 4 hours even with the bugs. Ultimately it is your choice if you want to pick it up or not.
If you are looking for a fun hack-and-slash game or something enjoyable to play consider picking up Gori: Cuddly Carnage instead of more expensive titles. The side missions alone will give you something else to enjoy and are a good way to get money to upgrade your abilities.
Overall, Star Wars Outlaws is an adequate game that gives you a decent Star Wars experience but isn’t anything memorable. Yes there are different ways to enjoy the game but the soft locks, forced stealth, and checkpoint system can make you not want to continue playing. The game does feature some fun gameplay elements such as Sabacc and Nix interactions but it doesn’t drive the overall experience.
If you haven’t wishlist Anger Foot yet, then you probably should if you don’t buy it right away. With multiple levels to each act, you can get at least 4 to 8 hrs of gameplay depending on how you play. If you want to put on the stuff to make it easier, then yes it will be faster. The characters within are comical and in a way relatable. The game’s comedy was a nice blend of the corny moments from High on Life with the action-pact pacing of Doom Eternal or Bulletstorm.
Overall, it was fun to playthrough Reveil. The playthrough we did took about three hours to get through but after seeing what you need to do can probably be done in about two hours. For $19.99, the game is worth checking out; if the game goes on sale then it would definitely be a great horror game to pick up for spooky season.
If you have ever been curious or wanted to try one of the worst games ever made, then it might be finally time to play Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties. The Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: Definitive Edition makes what was one of the worst games ever made into a fun and comical experience.
At the end of the day, Nightdive Studios has done a great job with the Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster and would make Lucas Arts proud compared to some other Star Wars titles. Yes, the game isn’t for everyone, but the developers have done a good job of making it accessible to most. The lack of a colorblind mode does seem like a failed oversight when you look at everything they did add, but it doesn’t make or break the game experience.
Honestly, if you think a game about slapping someone might be of interest to you, then it is worth checking out or picking up. For $19.99, picking up The Rose & Camellia Collection might be worth it at least to try.
Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection deserved a full remaster or remake compared to the garbage that Aspyr put out. It is heartbreaking to see how little effort they put into bringing an experience worthy of the series to the modern era. The game’s controls are extremely stiff and you will have to battle aim assist on top of it. If you are looking for a fun trip down memory lane, just buy the games on Steam or when they are on sale.
Combat within the game feels unsatisfying with a limit to the abilities. The jokes within are dated and feels like an AI wrote them after being fed information about South Park. Arguably, the only fight we enjoyed with the game was the final fight and that was because it broke the mold the game had established in the prior chapters.
Outside of 2K locking Brock Lesnar out of the game due to the Vince McMahon controversy, Visual Concepts has done a good job with the game and improves each year.
If SplitSide games can work out the bugs and add more accessibility options then Fling to the Finish could become a trending streaming game to play with friends or community members. At the moment, the game could use a bit more polish before that but is still a rather solid game.
