With all the right ingredients and some questionable ones, #BLUD is well worth a look for anyone looking to enjoy a genuinely fun story and generally enjoyable combat. The sharp visuals don’t hurt either; just be ready for some occasional frustrations when the action gets too thick and heavy, even for the thirstiest of vamps.
As a revival of sorts for this particular niche of management games, Blockbuster Inc. has the chops to impress when viewed from the right lens. Its trading of grand management for more focused endeavours is something to be appreciated, and who doesn’t love the idea of making films that are blockbuster hits and creating stars out of nothing? Of course, they could very well stab you in the back and jump ship, but that is the name of the game, after all. While there are flaws, the other good things it has going for it make this game well worth checking out, just like that indie film everyone is raving about but you just haven’t gotten the chance to enjoy just yet.
Just like how you could win a race instead of the season, F1 24 remains an excellent way of enjoying the sport with you at the helm in an instance. There are a ton of things to get busy with, and options to help tweak the experience to suit what you need. The caveat is that you will have to be new to all of this to avoid feeling like everything is just a tad too familiar, even with the welcomed addition of Driver Career. Rather than a bold new contender, the sight of a seasoned veteran is what players will have to contend with.
Without a doubt, when it works, Fabledom is a charming city builder that has plenty to offer. The game’s systems are clear and easy to understand, the lack of tension is welcome, and it all looks lovely from up top and even when you go down to street level to mingle with your people. The way alliances work is also a delight, and whether you are chasing love or a political partnership, it all seems to lead to a fairytale ending. Just make sure you have plenty of time to govern; after all, this is your kingdom.
After more than ten hours spent with The Rogue Prince of Persia, there is every bit of a good roguelite within. The freedom of movement is excellent, and it aids the way combat unfolds naturally, but everything else is not up to par. Whether the game reaches its full potential is anyone’s guess at this moment, and launching in its current state, even in Early Access, is a risk that doesn’t feel like it is worth it. The idea is that the team is able to build from here, and just like the genre it represents, the hope is that fans will give them the support and time needed to do just that.
It may not be the best deckbuilder out there, but at least Zet Zillions knows what it is all about and goes hard with its fusion system. The risks it takes when it comes to the visuals and the storytelling may not be for everyone, but for those willing to buy into planetary genocide, this is one enjoyable experience worth playing over and over again.
Just like how the first game changed the way we viewed Early Access games, Hades 2 is treading that same path with a high level of polish and meaty content that is quite unbelievable at this stage. The team has given players another charming protagonist to root for, the kind of gameplay that necessitates the ‘one more run’ mentality, and options aplenty for how you might want to tackle the next trip. Parts of the game may be missing, but what’s being offered is already well worth the entry fee, making the journey to 1.0 a much more delicious one.
Just like the people caught in this war, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has parts that are stronger and some that are weaker, but that is perhaps what makes it a journey worthy of embarking on. This is an epic that tries to do as much as it can when it comes to delivering a roleplaying story that draws players in, spicing up combat every now and then, and packing substantial content that might just get ignored by most. Just remember why you are on this journey, and you may just walk away happy like us.
