I really enjoyed Knight Squad and have to say the gameplay was nostalgic for me having played Bomberman a bit in the past. Additionally the game looks great visually and offers a nice variety of game modes for you and your friends to get stuck into one night.
I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed LEGO Marvel Avengers and found myself playing it a lot after work, especially for its relaxing and humorous LEGO fun. I’d not only recommend this for kids, but also adults, as a lot of these films are most likely ones you’ve watched many times and enjoyed and playing it in a video game felt unique and refreshing.
Based upon the storyline so far, I’d have to give the game my recommendation so far and if you’ve not checked out the first episode, I’d definitely tell you to go buy it. If you like your detective storyline’s, then this is definitely a title for you
Ben 10 isn’t going to push the boundaries for graphics or story. It also isn’t going to win any awards either, but it is a fairly solid game aimed for fans of the show and children.
All in all, Elex’s game world is probably its strongest positive, with a new intriguing location around every corner, something I would compare to Skyrim in that respect. However, it’s gameplay seriously lets things down with a clunky combat system, poor voice acting and graphical bugs which are enough to put you off from truly enjoying the quests and characters the title has to offer.
Graphically, the game holds up well with the odd occassional screen tear when water physics come on screen. However in regards to magical spells flying around on screen, the frame rate is pretty stable and doesn’t affect any enjoyment of the game.
In my opinion, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is decent title marred by technical shortcomings. Warhorse are clearly a talented but inexperienced team who have a passion for their creation. I wouldn’t go so far as to recommend it to everyone, I’d maybe even suggest waiting for a drop in price. If you want to run around and just smash some guys whilst hunting for magical loot I’d avoid it.
Evidently from its superb voice-acting, this is a highly polished game. The lighting and facial animation on characters looks realistic and the manor itself has an eerie but warm feel to it. There are also points of interest such as adorned artifacts and paintings, which if you take time to endure, you’ll be thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail and historical accuracy.
It feels wrong to have a go at Metropolis Lux Obscura though as it only costs £6.39/$7.99, but for the content that’s on offer it personally feels too costly. If you have a deep love for comic books, especially noir, and can get past the simplified gameplay you might find some enjoyment here. For most, this shallow experience won’t entertain you for long and ultimately you’ll be disappointed.
In terms of length, putting it’s difficulty aside, the game is fairly short and I think there were only 4 friends to rescue spread across about 1-2 hour long levels. So Where Are My Friends? Will offer a challenge for those budding platformer lovers among us.
It’s a tidy little game overall. I liked the aesthetic and I’d say the music was forgettable but it sent me back to my youth. The game is fairly lengthy and reasonably challenging. It’s also very niche and a lot of people will miss out on a little nugget of history recreated here. Unfortunately it’s not perfect and the occasional poor signposting held up progress at times. If you want a taste of the 80s or a tough little platformer I recommend you have a look at Deep Ones
Would I recommend Minit? Absolutely if you like challenging puzzlers with a sense of adventure. The 60 second timer creates a frantic playing experience and has you rushing to get to A to B whilst also being precise where you go. Obviously this isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea.
There are too many game mechanic flaws to Extinction to even begin to enjoy the glimpse of the game. Not only that, but the devs choice on the game’s direction was a missed opportunity. This would have been a fantastic open world adventure game, here’s still hoping they follow this up in the future.
With it having recently won 5 BAFTAs it’s helping push gaming in a new direction. Gamers around the world want our hobby to become more than just go here and shoot that. In my opinion, Hellblade is something everyone should experience.
Overall, it was a genuinely enjoyable experience, the story was well crafted and I wanted to keep playing long after I should have gone to bed. I’ll likely go back and see if I can uncover its final hidden mysteries and I highly recommend you go out and start your own journey now.
Ys Origin launched alongside two other JRPGS: Earthlock and Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs in the ID@Xbox program. Could this be a turning point for Xbox to have more from this genre? I really do hope so, as consoles need to branch out into more niche genres like this and despite its age, the game feels so refreshing thanks to its intriguing gameplay and beautiful soundtrack.
Overall, Emily Wants To Play Too is a new and fun story told in the franchise, filled with new cruel games to play with the dolls and an interesting ending worth playing all the way through for. I won’t spoil it for anyone but I highly recommend picking this up particular as the price is cheap.
To summarise, The Adventure Pals is a light-hearted adventure filled with comical and enjoyable moments for all. Not only is it highly polished, but it also has an engaging story you’ll want to go back to and play all over again, maybe with a friend this time. I can at last say Castle Crashers has been replaced in my heart.
Some gamers will love it, the majority will hate it. It’s challenging but very frustrating. It wears it’s colours with pride and doesn’t pretend to be anything game changing but it’s also not very fun. Bland levels, and uninspired enemy design can’t be saved by the simple to pick up, difficult to master gameplay so I find it hard to recommend.
In terms of story length, the game lasts about 2 hours, but offers a loop of playing the storyline again, so there’s lots to explore and discover in the house. From secret passages to significant items, traversing around the dimly lit corridors and rooms can be rewarding if you’re out for an interactive narrative experience.
