You play as a young nun, Indika, who appears like a normal young girl from the outside but is in a constant battle with demons in her head that continue to grow stronger over time as she delves further into catholicism. In this third-person perspective adventure, the world pulses with life as NPCs engage in their own conversations offering glimpses of wisdom and experience.
It smashes the AI as well which is a great feature so players and AI are equal to how they are penalized. The only downfall I will have with the system is the constant flashing of the UI on the right-hand side of the screen for penalties. There are a couple of different things that you will see with the main one being “Warning”, which is just a warning which is self-explanatory.
They each have their own ‘Turtle Power’ which players can initiate anytime the meter is full to clear out the enemies on screen or deliver extra damage to the bosses. Leonardo creates a tornado, Raphael punches the ground causing an earthquake, Donatello channels his inner Thor and shoots lightning from his staff and Michelangelo throws pizza everywhere. Even though three of those make absolutely no sense with the character’s personalities and backgrounds, the Turtle Power is still a really handy tool for when things get tough.
There was a huge accident at the PJ Power HQ and it has scattered pieces of technology like mechanical cogs and reactors all over the world. It’s the PJ Masks’ job to go and retrieve all the items back to fix up the HQ, but little do they know there will be some speed bumps along the way with some familiar faces.
SAND LAND follows the story of Beelzebub, the prince of demons and son of Lucifer. He, along with his companions, Thief, Rao and Ann, seek the legendary spring. Set in a barren desert wasteland where the only source of water is controlled by a greedy king backed by a menacing Supreme Commander., you must fight monsters, bandit gangs and the King’s Army. You must search for the spring to bring hope and much-needed water to the poor people of SAND LAND.
There are roughly 64 enemy types, unique attacks and appearances, all as grotesque as each other. One of the spookiest things I came across was a headcrab-type scenario involving a parasitic Naytiba and any corpse it could find lying around. With a vast arsenal of skills, including Beta skills, sweeping combos, ranged attacks and an ultimate that can turn the tides of battle, combat is immensely satisfying.
You can unlock things like clothing, equipment, pre-match animations, and even some experience boosts for MyPlayer. Those who decide to purchase the Premium Centre Court Pass will have a few extra cosmetic items they can purchase, while those who buy the All Access Pass will unlock six of the Premium Seasons as well as even more cosmetic goodies.
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is truly a passion project of Abubakar Salim. Opening his own game development studio was the best idea to help make his dream a reality and make the game in his vision. African culture, history, and mythology are represented in a big way through this game, and it is only the beginning for Surgent Studio. The price tag of $26.95 AUD shouldn’t be an indication of the game’s quality, as there is so much to enjoy and discover.
The graphics in the rhythm minigame are of the same style, but the look of the guitar you’re playing depends on which one you select to play before going into the gig. The sound design is really cool as well; the songs are original and pretty catchy, but the sound is also good at exhibiting a sense of danger when something is going horribly wrong, such as when a system fails and everything starts beeping.
The game’s structure subtly guides players towards each objective, restricting exploration outside designated areas per scene. This limitation can feel restrictive, especially as movement requires navigating the mouse to the screen’s edge rather than utilising keyboard arrows, which some players may find less intuitive. On a brighter note, the puzzles within each scene offer a refreshing dose of flexibility and challenge.
Zombiewood: Survival Shooter is a fun, nostalgic blast from the past, recapturing mobile app arcade-style antics. With a variety of gameplay, the entertainment factor is high and great for a casual, addictive tour of Hollywood.
Ereban’s vibrant landscapes pulse with life as NPCs bustle about, engaging in their own conversations and routines, further drawing you in with the sounds of the world around you. Their presence not only enriches the immersive world but also serves as a poignant reminder of Ayana’s solitary struggle against overwhelming odds.
Players will be able to visit a store during the match and gain items to either help defend themselves from other players, such as a gun, or light traps, but you will also be able to get some fun to-use items like a ball and chain that will keep a player stuck for a few seconds or a GPS tracker that you can place on people so you can see where they are at all times.
The Graphics in Outpost: Infinity Siege are impressive. Graphics are on a level with many AAA games being realistic, with distant terrain being rendered to a lower quality to give the effect of distance, giving it perfect realism. This also adds an excellent balance to performance with the game having quite good overall performance, with in-depth settings to fine-tune your experience. Animations from robots and defences are very smooth and look absolutely flawless.
There are not too many games that can have fart sounds on demand and be so accepted but in true South Park form there are farts but that is the smallest part of the audio in this title. The audio of this game was spot on and felt like I was watching an episode of the TV Show. It was weird that I loved that your character “New Kid” never spoke once but everyone knew what was going on. The fact that the group of fellas would always break the fourth wall of the game, mentioning previous titles and the fact it’s a game was great. If you wanted to find one excuse to play the game the audio would be by far the greatest excuse and is a perfect tribute to animation and cartoon production.
Nixxes Software has taken a massive leap forward in PC porting compared to some PlayStation PC ports released over the years. This game has set a new standard for PC ports, abundant in graphical and performance options, and improvements to the original. Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition retains the spirit of the PlayStation version and brings an already incredible game to a broader audience on PC; its incredible visuals, exciting gameplay, and technical marvel make it a perfect must-play for fans of story-rich action-adventure games.
Pepper Grinder proves there’s little more thrilling than drilling for a 2-D platforming adventure. Ahr Ech and Devolver Digital have a real treasure in this one. I recommend it to players who enjoy casual chaos with a charming twist.
Attack of the Karens though full of genres is a perfect example if you put time and precision into the development of a game you will have an exceptional and functional product. The retro aesthetic of visuals and sound make for a perfect trip down memory lane for those who owned a Gameboy. The challenge on offer with the replayability options, and the addictive one-more-run gameplay make Attack of the Karens highly enjoyable.
Unicorn Overlord is a brand-new IP that’s already made a big impact, impressing both gamers and critics. With about 50 hours of game time to enjoy, the epic story is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression, but it’s the gameplay that will first pull you in and make sure you stay for the ride. The 2D graphics with highly detailed anime art and smooth animations, along with the orchestral soundtrack and talented voice cast, are a marvel to behold. Unicorn Overlord is an RPG game like no other, and one that should not be overlooked.
You will even go on a global scoreboard for all the competitive types out there, and to add a little extra spice, if you can achieve S Rank on all stages in Final Fantasy mode, you will unlock a secret stage with a secret boss, so good luck.
