Overall, I had a positive experience with Frostpunk 2. Whilst I found the game quite challenging to complete, I believe much of that difficulty stemmed from a subpar tutorial. Given the complexity of the game and the numerous mechanics it offers, a more comprehensive tutorial is definitely required.
All in all I enjoyed my time with this flash back to NES platforming goodness. Both its art style, 8 bit filter and game play serve as a reminder of how good these types of games can be. However it was brought down by the length of Rugrats Adventures In Gameland
I am so glad this game is its own stand alone thing. It can now get the love and attention it deserves. Whether you are playing online or with a friend through the campaign, each class is a guaranteed good time. If you ever fantasized about getting out on the field, I highly recommend this game!
Caravan Sandwitch’s story is deeply emotional, focusing not only on Sauge’s quest but also on the broader themes of family, hope, and the impact of sur-exploitation. A beautiful game providing a gentle and forgiving experience that prioritizes relaxation and enjoyment over challenge and competition. The game’s design ensures that players can savor the journey at their own pace, making it a gratifying addition to any gaming library.
Space Marine 2 is an incredible game and I would recommend it to anyone interested in a good old fashion 3rd person shooter. Death to the Corpse Emperor! Umm I mean for Courage and Honor Brother.
I’ve played a lot of deckbuilders over the years, and 2024 seems to be a great year for them. Pyrene included – it’s merging of intriguing and heartfelt stories with a compelling gameplay loop make it quite difficult to put down. There’s a lot of variety and this variety ensures that each playthrough provides a fresh experience, encouraging players to experiment with different strategies and hero combinations.
When I heard there was a game named “Gori Cuddly Carnage” I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was worried it would like depth, game play and story as many indie games with this sort of humor have in the past. I’m happy to say it has all those things while managing to not where out it’s welcome. The one place it falls short in just a little is the platforming. it’s not all the time but once in a while it just needs spaced out just a bit more. Other then that I loved this game.
If you own a PS5, then I do think Astro Bot is a must have for the system. Not only is it a fantastic platformer from start to finish with plenty of content for the 14 hours or so it takes to do everything, it’s also a love letter to PlayStation’s history and honestly even gaming as a whole. I honestly haven’t seen this many franchises represented in one game since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and it was great that Sony even included series they don’t own, although some have a strong history on PlayStation as well.
Dustborn ultimately left me with mixed feelings. It’s excellent cast and voice acting mixed with a solid story is just what I hope for in an adventure game, however its ho-hum combat and annoying interruptions in the dialogue hold it back from being great.
Age of Mythology Retold offers significant replay value with hours of fun building your civilizations as well as defeating your enemies either by yourself or cooperatively in teams. It’s relatively easy to pick up and despite the barebones tutorial, the controls are simple enough that you should be able to learn pretty quickly. Having the game on game pass as well means that you’ll be able to always find people to play with as well as easily being able to get your friends to join in the fun.
Despite its flaws, Black Myth Wukong’s positives do far outweigh them and I never felt like they made me want to stop playing the game. Overall it’s a strong action RPG experience for those looking for something a little less souls like and something closer to a character action game. It’s a great first outing from game science and given it’s wild success so far a sequel of some kind seems like a no brainer. With some refinement, follow ups could prove to be something really special.
I can easily see why Core Keeper is so very loved. The gameplay loop gets super addictive and the sheer amount of things to craft makes this game infinitely playable and infinitely customizable. It’s definitely a game that you can play for hours on end.
Crypt Custodian is super charming, incredibly fun, and powerfully heartwarming. It took me about 10 hours to complete the main game and collect most of the items. I was able to reach 100% completion in about 13. It may be a short experience, but I had a great time playing it and I can’t recommend this game highly enough. If you’re into metroidvanias and platformers, this is a must play.
