Visually, Immortals: Fenyx Rising is just as charming as its dialogue. It’s best described as a mix between Breath of the Wild and Fortnite. The result is a charming, colourful palette that really brings the world to life in a cartoonish way. On PlayStation 5
I want to be blunt with you, if you are not conditioned to what we old-timers call “The Grind” then Bravely Default 2 might not be for you. In between chapters, you will NEED to go off the beaten path in search of treasures and enemies to fight if you want to have any chance in hell beating the bosses at the end of every dungeon.
After you decide your character, you will go thru a short intro, and before you know it, you will be in Fyrestone, and that is when the game opens up to you. My suggestion is to try and not do only story missions.
No matter who you play as Strategy is the name of the game and you have to be somewhat quick about everything. It’s important to remember that while you are gathering resources to build your Civilization up, your enemies may have started at a magnificent spot lush with resources and maybe getting ready to invade surrounding areas. I remember having the ability to speed up or slow down the game in earlier versions of the game, if that feature is in AOE3, I could not find it.
The choices that you make can have an effect on how you look to your teammates, upper management, and to your fans. Before long you will be drafted to the NHL where you start seeing the big bucks come your way. Money in NHL21 is used to buy temporary amenities for your character which boost your stats or give you ability points. Ability points are used to boost stats such as Top Speed and Endurance permanently.
The cheeky name Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time couldn’t be more aptly named based on the story of the game. The game takes place after the events of Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Series villains Neo Cortex and Nefarious Tropy have discovered how to create rifts in time and space. It is not long before Crash and his sister Coco find out and go out on an adventure to stop the duo before they destroy the history of the world!
The campaign war stories did feel a bit too generic, but there’s not much that can be said and told in these stories. There were some gameplay moments that felt a bit weird, in that I would take shoot guards out with an assault rifle and not far from those guards are a couple of others, casually chilling. Meanwhile, if you are stealthing throughout the map and haven’t fired a bullet, the moment you are seen, every guard will fire at your location. Though stealth is suggested and you are given means to do so, it provided no real benefits to do so. I did one part in stealth and realized I didn’t unlock anything. Next, I ran through with guns blazing and similar to stealth, didn’t unlock anything. I saved a lot of time, so there’s a perk at least. It’s a decent playthrough, regardless of some issues with it.
I was surprised by the depth of the story given to these other characters. In one of these adventures you are tasked with helping a usurper with taking over the throne from a power-hungry king that you find out belongs to an even larger group of bad guys in the Assassins Creed franchise,
It’s a simple game, you run around each level, firing bubbles to trap enemies and then bursting those bubbles to destroy them collecting fruit for points along the way. Easy, right?
As most fans of musuo style games can agree, there is one glaring issue with Age of Calamity, and that is the issues with framerate. Look, it is understandable that a game with an active battlefield can run into problems. When I found myself fighting against smaller groups of enemies, I would not have any issues whatsoever.
Between the platforming, every level features a smaller-scale puzzle level. These can be some simple puzzles like pushing a bomb to dynamite. There’s some fun mini-games like the whack-a-mole equivalent puzzle.
I would say that Paper Mario: The Origami King is a nice return to form that the last couple of Paper Mario games seemed to have lost. The game shows a lot of charm between it’s lush and beautiful landscapes as well as the fun child-like humour. I personally feel like it still doesn’t quite hit the same strides that games like Bowser Inside Story hit, but this is a great start.
Ultimately, The Last of Us 2 is a must-play title on the PS4. The sheer quality of the game on a visual and technical level all but guarantees that. I was amazed at what was possible on base PS4 hardware. The shortcomings of the story as a whole, especially in the denouement, left me with a feeling of disappointment. I am grateful I undertook this journey with these characters but in the end, the pay-off doesn’t live up to its predecessor and the ending, in particular, does not stick the landing that Naughty Dog intended.
One of the best strongest points is the fact that if you’re playing solo or with a friend, you can switch between Rash, Zitz and Pimple by pressing the corresponding d-pad arrow (except the shmups and platforming levels). This gives players a chance to try out all three characters and also a lifeline if the current character they are using is near death, they can switch with a full health character.
When you take a step back and realize that this game is 10 years old, you can appreciate so much about it, however, the problems that this 10-year-old game have are glaringly obvious! In multiple parts of the game where there would be some type of event that would happen, I would find that my guy would be running around as my partners would just stand there doing nothing, or even better running into a wall! They were also not always the most helpful at reviving each other when one would fall. I am not sure how much I can complain though as there are times when you may be alongside 2-3 comrades as well as the ghosts wreaking havoc in the room, that is a LOT for the AI to comprehend all at once.
The optimal way of playing Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is to gather up your friends and form your own squad. I cannot stress enough how much different of a game Breakpoint is when you have friends to play with. Each Outpost is a fun new puzzle for you to figure out. As there are 4 different classes for you to choose from, You and your friends can all essentially play as different types of characters. The excitement of your team surrounding a base and figuring out the plan is the most fun part of the game. Especially as you all have your own gadgets such as drones to aid you in your systematic massacre of a small outpost.
Don’t worry if you think that Cold War veers too far off from that exhilarating element of Call of Duty you have grown up with, it is still there in heaps!
Let there be no mistakes though. While there have been some changes to Far Cry, the formula is still pretty much the same it has always been for the Far Cry series. Upon getting thru the tutorial and the beginning area (a small island), you will be unloaded onto a giant map full of different activities to do.
Once you take control of your first character, you are free to do what you want to do. You have the ability to scan and recruit literally anyone you see. I thought this was amazing at first, but after a while, I noticed the flaw in this idea. I got to the point where I simply did not care anymore.
You are able to move in three dimensions in a 2.5 dimension action-racing arcade game, think of it like driving in lanes. These lanes can take you all over the place depending on the level.
