Point and click adventure games are not for everyone and Randal's Monday is not without some flaws but there is no denying this game has plenty of redeeming qualities.
If you're looking for something to essentially become lost in for the next month, you've found it.
This is a great game for friends and family to pass some time with, whether you're scattered across the world or conveniently located at home. Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy or four, there are monsters to be slain and victories to be had!
It's like you're flipping the pages in a black and white graphic novel, and it fits the narrative perfectly.
When you make totally different choices, events actually play out differently enough where it doesn't just feel like the illusion of choice.
Even just moving from one zone to the next can leave you feeling like a child reading an adventure novel, imagining all of the cool new worlds just ready to be explored.
Reload is much better than the mobile version and it’s a fun way to kill some time; however, being this unoriginal isn’t really going to turn any heads.
The reality is, while Far Harbor itself is fantastic, Bethesda has once again lived up to its old name and released some content with major bugs and issues.
If you haven’t looked into this new episodic take on a cult classic, you definitely should. King’s Quest is a great way to kill some time if you enjoy a more comedic point-and-click adventure like Monkey’s Island.
…you're not always trying to kill everything on screen, you're trying to make damn well sure you don't ever get hit.
If you're looking for a quick and simple puzzle game to play on your laptop during breaks in class, or simply want a relaxing way to unwind at the end of the day, this is a decent buy.
There is no digging through your inventory for that extra elixir or bomb; if you can't figure out an enemy's pattern or weakness, you are dead.
There's a dissonance between this fantastic art style and dull or tame backing soundtrack.
Neverending Nightmares has its flaws, and it certainly isn't for the squeamish. However, anyone who digs the horror or suspense genres should absolutely pick this up. Being born out of personal torment and inner conflict makes this game a unique experience, and sometimes you can't help but relate to Thomas' confusion as he wanders through the dark. I hope you can save him. I know I wouldn't want to be stuck in his nightmare.
Most platformer fans will get a kick out Harold, and anybody with a spare controller laying about that wants to try something new should check it out
If the exploit I found hadn't been so game breaking, I'd have rated Slow Down, Bull higher. It's a very decent game for the price, and I'm happy to see more titles like this coming from well-known studios.
One of the key factors to my enjoyment of the game remains that Apotheon was free [through PS+ free games]. If the crashes and bugs aren't fixed by the end of the month when this becomes purchase only, I'd be pretty disappointed as a paying customer.
When you consider buying Blackguards 2, there are three questions you need to ask yourself. Do you enjoy tactics RPGs? Do you like an interesting high-fantasy story? Do you have hours and hours to sink into a new game? If you answered yes to any of these, then I'd definitely recommend checking out not only Blackguards 2 but its predecessor as well. Daedalic has done a great job at actually listening to the community to help improve their product, and I'm really happy to see what they've done. You're not going to get blown away, but you'll certainly be left with some fond memories and a solid experience.
Roguelikes always hold a strange place in my heart because while it feels exhilarating to have that great run where everything just works, it's so incredibly heart-breaking when that run inevitably fails. Runers will certainly test your patience, but it's kind of like a big puzzle for which someone has conveniently left you a giant tool kit but no instructions. Good luck!
Overall, Gauntlet was a lot of fun but it still felt like something was missing. Granted it was reminiscent of my own past experiences with the franchise but playing with friends over Skype and Steam wasn't quite the same as hanging out in the living room with four controllers plugged into one console. That said it still evoked the same thrills and competitiveness as before. We fought for treasure, battled for screen control, and raced for crowns and keys. If you have some friends that love to crawl through dungeons or you just want to relive some memories from the past, I'd definitely suggest grabbing a copy or splitting a 4-pack and going on an adventure sometime soon.
