If you enjoy detective games, or narratives with twists, then Urban Myth Dissolution Center is for you. When asked how long it took to play, I seriously thought each case took me an hour, when in fact it had probably taken triple the amount of time. I didn’t notice time passing by, that’s how much I was enjoying it. I know I keep making the comparison but it really is like Ace Attorney without the courtroom and I’m not the only one making it. Another friend asked if it was a perfect game and after thinking it over, I believe it is. We don’t do scores here, but i reckon this would get full marks from me.
The Sacred Acorn is a unique experience with not much out there that’s similar. I really wished I had enjoyed it more but due to the issues with combat and a lack of direction, I probably wouldn’t have given this as much of a chance if I hadn’t been reviewing it. Do keep in mind that it’s not the sort of game I would normally play and it is still a good game. I would like an option to make it a bit easier as I am getting old and am not as good with my reflexes as I used to be. I have heard that the game will be receiving patches in the next few months to address some of the feedback players have given them, so I look forward to trying again when that drops.
My Sims is a faithful re-release of the game that came out in 2008. Both the good and the bad. It would have been nice to see the gameplay and blueprints modernised as the TV blueprints were all chunky TVs that no longer exist. They’ve left bugs in from the original game such as the frame skipping during the fishing mini game in the ocean area. It’s still fun but there’s really nothing new to make returning players want to pick it up aside from nostalgia’s sake.
An intense atmosphere and intriguing story which is unfortunately marred by the age the game was created in. Looking past the clumsiness of the movement, it is still one of the most accessible and fun Project Zero games.
