DVS Gaming's Reviews
As far as party games are concerned, Party Crashers fits quite nicely into anyone's collection.
This game has some fun context and can be entertaining but isn't the type of game that you will play through more than once.
Most of this game's score is derived from the base game than this current iteration. The original Starcraft is amazing, and always will be. The lack of any new ideas or even anything remotely modern included in this makes it reek of a cash grab though. Anyone who isn't a die hard RTS fan will probably want to steer clear of this one, unfortunately.
Overall, this was a very fun game to play. Slowly working through several long missions is very enjoyable, even with the vision issues and how painful controlling an individual tank can be.The freedom of choice each mission involves is fantastic, as is how intense the campaign is.
Runic Rampage is gaming junk food. It's cheap, you've had it before, and you consume more than you wanted to. I still had fun, and it's pretty good if you want some mindless action for a value price. However, it can feel very same-y near the end and the procedural generation doesn't feel necessary.
I spent many moments cursing its name in frustrating due to consistently dying. However, the game has grown on me, and I am excited to take different paths and play different ways. Fairly priced, The Long Journey Home provides some comedic relief in a dire and stressful time. The game's atmosphere is beautiful and the exploration into the game provides a vast amount of space adventure.
Having a game that doesn't force feed the player anything is just a unique enough experience to merit checking Nongünz out on its own. Beyond that though, there's enough good things and few enough bad things (most of which is not being able to shoot up, which is a really big problem for something that seems so small) that this a genuinely entertaining gaming experience.
If you were fond of The Final Station, you'll probably enjoy The Only Traitor the same way. It's melancholic like the original game but more desperate, dangerous, and with some much-needed improvements. However, don't expect this to blow your socks off. If you weren't already on the hype train with this game, this won't change your mind. I still enjoyed it, but I won't play it more than twice.
My final score reflects that it is a well-designed game. It succeeds in what it sets out to do. If you like or dislike time management, the 80's or any of the other things I mentioned then feel free to add or subtract a few points to the score.
Snake Pass is an extraordinarily fun experience that is reminiscent of classic platformers from the past, but still fresh and unique to play through, especially for those with a hankering for physics puzzles.
This noted, Monster Slayers is still a very addicting and solid game. I sunk a lot of hours into this game, and it's very cheap for how much enjoyment you can get from this game.
To sum it all up, I highly recommend Knight Squad.
Overall, I do enjoy this game and find it to be a worthy buy if you're into that kind of thing. If you enjoyed the original RollerCoaster Tycoon, you might enjoy this one.
I would say The Surge is a fun, yet challenging single player game.
Honestly, I'd like to give Mass Effect a higher score. It's a fantastic game in the areas where it's strong. At the same time, it's also got a lot of problems that should not be this visible in a final release. This ultimately feels like a game of wasted potential, which is saying something because the finished product is still damn good.
Again, if you go into Project Vileaf expecting a life-changing game experience, um, you won’t get it. It’s lacking in long-term features to keep you hanging for too long. However, it’s got a pretty fun presentation, backed by gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. It could’ve used some better balancing with enemies in some places, along with possible multiplayer, but overall, we’re just Smurfed that the game ended up being more positive than expected.
Despite the awkward character interactions and development, House of Ashes is the best in the Anthology and the best since the game that started it all. The game gave a feeling of confidence from the developers and felt that it flowed harmoniously to the end. There was no feeling of the story being rushed, and so much content to discover to find the truth. The ending of the game also gave a sense of unknowing what could be out there rather than making it feel like it’s all in our heads. This entry is worth picking up and playing through and shows that there is no roadblock in what Supermassive and Bandai are trying to do.
Despite the silence and the lack of story mode (it would’ve been great for Ren and Stimpy to have a grudge against Patrick), Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a thoughtful, beat-em-up, well put together game by the developers. Its’ gameplay is fun and easy to adapt to and its’ visuals look quite good considering the product at hand. The possibilities with the loaded cast are excellent, with even more waiting in the wings to join the fray. It won’t replace Smash as your favorite anytime soon, but it does make for a curious – and jam-packed – addition to your brawler collection. What we need are Rocko characters in here and, maybe, Danger Mouse for some nostalgia. Please?
Overall, the game is fantastic. It works well on GamePass and the cloud gaming option for phones. The job system is greatly designed paired with a strong combat system and beautiful design. While the voice acting and difficulty jump take a bit away from the game, it’s definitely a great pick for turn-based JRPG fans who love the classics.
Ultra Age isn’t a flawless classic by any means. But Next Stage has created a surprisingly enjoyable hack-and-slasher, thanks to a weapons system that continues to evolve and some exciting action. It also doesn’t look bad either, though the voice acting isn’t entirely up to snuff. Sure, it could’ve been better, but this sword is still plenty sharp. And that’s good news for a game that some might have feared would show its…age?
