The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Update:

I beat the game and did have fun. Exploration is fun but the map is too big for the crappy horse so I did a lot of running. Boss battles were good and fun. Definitely Elden Ring for Switch. Ending was kinda blah but I think I missed stuff. Not sure if I want to play ToTK.

Original Review:

I played this game 5 years ago and had fun thinking it was a great game. I stopped playing about half way through and decided to start over and give it a try. It's been rough. I'm wondering how I liked this. The map is waaaaay too big with little to do between towns or encounters. Your horse is supposed to make it faster but I feel like I'm trying to control a water tankers rather a horse. I can barely turn and the horse gets stuck if you end up on any uneven surface. I hate I can't fast travel with my horse either. I don't want to go get my horse at a stable then ride 20 minutes to where I got to go. Add to the fact that I'm afraid to use good weapons for fear of them breaking just makes it no as enjoyable. Maybe I just need to grind a bit more and get back in the groove but it's been hard. I'll keep trying but for now I gotta give it a low rating.

Would be more fun if you had more room between obstacles. You have to go through shapes that have four different color sections or sides. You can only pass through the part that is the same color of your ball that is passing through the shapes. Your ball changes colors randomly as you go in and out of shapes. Just toooo difficult for a mobile pick up and put down game. Only spent 20 minutes playing.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II

Way to early review.

This game is awesome. 2024 is the year of fighting off alien invasions in video games. You are an Ultra Space Marine who is leading a squad against an alien invasion and more in the world of Warhammer. I have never played a Warhammer game but I read that this game can be played without playing Warhammer but if you have then you will know a lot more of the lore and background.

Gameplay feels a lot like Gears of War without the cover system. That's because you're basically a walking tank and can take a lot of damage but at the same time it's easy to find yourself over run and dying. You have two fire arms and a sword to use which is awesome. You can easily switch between weapons which makes the alien killing very enjoyable. Single player has a co-op mode if you want to fight for the emperor with fellow marine brothers.

I have not played the PvE and PvP multiplayer modes yet because there is a warning before you start that playing these modes will spoil plot lines in the single player campaign. The campaign is a traditional linear story that I have read can take 12-14 hours to complete which sounds short but it's kinda refreshing to not have to grind a game out for 60 hours.

I am having kids of fun playing this game and want to beat the campaign so I can't start some multiplayer action. Lots of fun and enjoyable. An easy pick for Video Game Book club also. Check it out.

Remnant II

***Update: this is so close to being on my Rushmore. It's more than Souls with guns. Story is good although the ending was ehhh. DLCs have been awesome. There is almost infinite ways to play this game and you will not play the same story twice! I love it and encourage any soulsborne player to try it out.

Been playing about 8 hours so far and I am loving the game. It's definitely similar to gameplay style of "souls" games (with guns) but it seems to be much easier to jump into and understand. Game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth where you are taken in by a community and then it gets weird. You can hop in and out a different world but you aren't given the whole story yet of how and why but are you are given clear missions to start. How do you go about the missions? Thats what I am still learning.

You can play with friends which helps a lot during some tough playthroughs. What I found interesting is that everyone's gameplay of the "levels" is a different order. Sort of like a roguelike but not really. You will die a lot and just like a souls game, when you rest at a checkpoint you get all your health and ammo back but all the enemies are respawned and back to kill you.

One thing I normally don't notice too much but I do with this game is the soundtrack. Music is awesome and flows well with the intensity of some of the fights you get into.

I feel like I have only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this game so I will update as I dive deeper. With the game only being $49.99 its a steal and I think everyone should give it a try even if you are remotely interest.

Way too early review.

COD is back baby. Multiplayer maps are fun so far. Gameplay is enjoyable where you get killed a lot but you also do a lot of killing. My four year old is getting some kills. Omni movement gets some getting used too but it definitely improves the game play.

What I love so far is the leveling up your player and weapons. Not complicated at all and there isn't a gazillion attachments, weapons, and perks that overcomplicate things.

So far I am loving it and having a great time. I hope this game gets popular on Channel 3.

Also...round based Zombies is back. Lots of fun playing Zombies.

Need for Speed Unbound

Dropped a star. I can't take the dialogue or the story. I feel like every character is a wokester who smells their own farts; including my character. It's just too much. Gameplay is still good I just keep the volume down.

Update: Not taking a star away because I like the game play but the banter during the storyline is increasingly annoying and gets woke for no reason. I felt like some more focus could have gone to online gameplay than story dialogue when making the game. Just a warning especially if you have yout's playing.

So I haven't played a NFS since Most Wanted and pretty much the only racing game I play is Mario Kart. At face value this game doesn't look my style and decided to try it out anyways. So far I am really liking the game. Takes a bit to get used to controls but if you play online then you can fine tune your vehicle more. Trying to figure what I like more story or online racing. I think both have their upsides but I believe and hope online takes off more. The customizations are awesome and so far it's not difficult to upgrade but I'm sure that will change when you get more cars. I think if you go into a higher class vehicle race you get a loaner to use also. Story mode banter while driving is lame but not a game killer. Visually though the game is awesome and the effect add that special touch that help this game stand out. Wish I could take snap shots with the effects on like in Story mode but it's open world so I see why it would be hard. I say everyone should definitely check this out especially if you have EA Play because you will get a 10 hour trial which is more than enough.

Also there could be possible Channel 3 possibilities. Not sure if you can create your own server but if you could I think it would be cool having a bunch of people racing in the same server together.

The game is fun and worth the free trial. Check it out!

Valorant

Way way way way too earlier review. This is a very unique game. You start thinking like it's going to be like any other free to play team FPS but it's not. Very tactical and calculating on what you do and when you do it. I have only played the mode where one team tried to set a drill (bomb) and the other defends. You have to move slow and know when to use your powers. Think of it as search and destroy in Call of Duty mixed with Overwatch but 100% less fast and hectic. I give 4 stars now for the potential but will update as I continue to play.

I have tried this game a few times and I just can't get into it. I feel like I rarely run into enemies and the platforming is getting repetitive. I have gotten stuck trying to figure out where to go and I realize I could fit in this crack in a wall but can't walk through a bigger crack in another area. I don't think the controls are all that good either. It's just very slow from the start. I may give it another go at some point but I'm taking the $5 loss and removing this from my PS5 for now.

Early review. Game is fun but the matches are really short. I think it's perfect length for mobile but not the Switch (which I am playing on). I wish I could change the field of view also because it's sometimes hard to see what's going on during gameplay. There is also a lot going on when it comes to the home screen. I get its free to play and you gotta have a season pass and ways to rank up and what not; but this seems like a lot more than other games. Not bad and I will keep playing but it could be better. I may just be comparing it too much to Overwatch.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Way to early review. This means I'm gonna make an outlandish statement. This is possibly the biggest and best DLC I have ever played for a game. It's a game in itself. The map is deceiving. Looks a lot smaller than the base map but that Realm of Shadow is very vertical. The exploring seems endless.

FROMSOFTWARE saw us mastering the Lands Between with their gracious rune farms and crazy runs and decided to humble the hell out of us. Doesn't matter your rank because you are nerfed back to reality from the start. Oh you thought the Tree Sentinel was tough? Here is giant fire wicker basket man that can kill you from the other side of the map 30 seconds into the game.

More details as I keep playing and beat more bosses but this is a gem of a game that brings me back to that amazing time I had in February 2022. If you have played any Souls game this is a must.

Squad Busters

Supercell is the Epic of mobile gaming. They just got the free mobile gaming down when it comes to fun and make a game you don't need to spend money on but you catch yourself doing it anyways. Kinda like Fortnite.

This game takes characters from all the Supercell games and uses those characters in a mobile PvPvE style game with a time limit. You run around and fight enemies and players collecting coins. The coins unlock chests which give you another character to use in the fight. You have a running boost that you can use to move faster throughout the map but you only attack when standing still. That's where strategy comes in. Stop and fight or run away? Run away and you could get chased down when you run out of running boost and get attacked. all characters have different abilities so every time you open a chest you get a randomly pick from 3. As you play you upgrade your characters making them more powerful and ave more health. Sort of the Supercell way of gaming. If you lose all your characters in a fight you are out of the match. Goal is to collect green gems and whoever has the most at the end wins. You get portal energy at the end of matches which you use to progress your rank and unlock more characters and in game currency to upgrade characters. Little confusing at first but its the free to play method you see with a lot of games of having 2 to 3 different currencies or in game things to collect in order to progress. I caught on pretty quick so it should be easy to figure out.

Game is highly addicting and the 3 minutes matches make it easy to pick up and put down. Controls are super simple. Basically you just run around and everything else is automated. Haven't done any play with friends yet but I will update on that when I play. Fun game and time waster. Check it out if you like mobile games. Below is a recording I did of a match. Thought I won until the end I saw I lost by one gem.

246d XDefiant edited

XDefiant

The game is a FPS 6 Vs 6 objective based game. From what I can tell early on there is an Escort game that is pretty much exactly like Overwatch's. Get the robot to each check point and to the end as fast as possible. The other games are more CoD style Domination and a King of the Hill type game. All the games are fun but you can tell from the start there will be some "nerfing". Snipers are way overpowered in my opinion and the disadvantage of the defending team in escort just doesn't seem level.

You can choose your player from different factions which all have different special abilities. I feel like the special abilities is all the rage in games lately with Overwatch doing it the best and probably the OG at it. All factions come from different Ubisoft games which is pretty cool. I am sure they will roll out more games as factions at some point. I really wish they would have actual characters from games like Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell or Pagen Min form Far Cry.

The simplicity is what I love. Not 100 weapons with 200 attachments that all do the same thing. More like Call of Duty 4 MW or Modern Warfare 2 type set up. A few weapons you have heard of with maybe 6-8 attachments. Thats it, play have fun and unlock weapons by completing challenges.

Don't go in thinking it's a CoD clone. It's not. You aren't a bullet sponge and need to use your abilities correctly to keep you and your team alive (key word team). One plus is that you can turn off cross play but even better only play with people using the same input. So, I have it set on cross-play but only with people using a controller. Keeps the playing field a little bit more even in my opinion.

I took away a star because if you are going to have a game that only has objective based game play I think you need to get rid of K/D ratio's and assists. There are too many players who are just not caring about the objective and loosing matches but the K/D is high so obviously it's just about stat building for them. Do assists just like Overwatch; don't have them and just give everyone the kill who contributed.

I love the simplicity of the game and I hope any adjustments to game play that are inevitably coming are positive. With all the gripes people have been having about Warzone/CoD as of late, this game could be a fresh breath of air and reminiscent of the less complex days of FPS shooters that some people want to go back to.

Free to play, give it a try. I am determined to be good at a multiplayer game, so I am sticking with this one for the time being.

248d Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

I don't know how far into the game I am but I am loving this. I really love unique game experiences and this is one of them.

You are Senua who is obviously dealing with some mental problems from what seems to be the death of a loved one. I am not sure yet what relationship this loved one was to her but she is willing to do anything to get him back; including going to Hel. Game revolves around Nordic Viking lore but there is someone who speaks to her that has a Scottish accent so I get a bit confused. I think this is a game where you learn more about what is going on as you play.

There are three main things in the game play:

1. Narrative - Most of this is done while walking/jogging from one area to another. Female voices in your head that often talk to you about what you are doing or giving you doubt about if you can make it. Kinda creepy and eerie in a way. Going perfectly with your characters facial expressions and what is going on in the environment. Helps guide you also when you get stuck.

2. Puzzles - I am not big on puzzles but they range from a fun challenge to figure out to YouTube save me from this type difficulty. Most puzzles are environment puzzles that you need to solves in order to progress.

3. Combat - Combat can best be described as "soulslike" as in you are timing your strikes, parries, and dodges based on the enemies movements. Very clean and responsive controls making it easy to time everything you need to. Slow and steady will win the battle. If you get impatient and try to do too many attacks at once you will lose. There is a focus mode you build up with successful strikes and parries. Very useful when you are outnumbered.

Over all the game is a great experience so far. Basically no HUD so it always looks beautiful. Health is based on how Senua is standing. If she is standing tall and moving with precision her health is good. If she has a hard time getting off the ground after getting knocked down and she is holding her wounds and barely swinging her sword then you are hurting and close to death. Don't want to give away how "lives" work but that is also a unique take on the game.

I will admit this game is probably not for everyone. I am biased and love unique games that are amongst themselves unique and little to compare it to (ie. Deathloop, Remnant II, Neon White). I would still say this should be given a shot if you like third person view linear adventure type games. It really has been an experience so far and will update once I beat the game.

I played the heck out of a free demo for Super Mega Baseball 2 on Switch a few years ago and I really liked it but never bought it. This is my first purchase of Super Mega Baseball series and I got it on PS5 since I saw it was cross-play.

I love arcade style sports games and really hope to see more from different sports coming out again. The games are easy to pick up and put down with being able to stop halfway through games if need be. The Ego setting help keep the game challenging yet fun based on how good you play.

Its just an all around fun game to play. Every sports games doesn't need to be a a sweaty closest to the real thing simulation game. Also many of the games are filled with horrible micro-transactions. If you want to play a fun sports game that is laid back and good for any skill level I highly suggest this game.

Paint the Town Red

*Review is Mature for gameplay video that depicts over the top pixelated block heads murdering each other*

Sometimes games don't need to be huge, complex, graphically beautiful, or have long deep storyline to be good. Sometimes I just want to be entertained for a few minutes or hour doing mindless gaming. If you are looking for this, then Paint the Town Red is for you (especially after a bad day at work).

Basically, you look like a blockhead from Minecraft and you just start a fight and try to survive. You have to actually have some tactics as you can easily become overwhelmed by the riotous mob. You may need to go one on one and beat someone down for their weapon to get the upper hand on five or sixer bikers after you. As you punch people and defeat them a meter bar fills so you can use special powers that can take out multiple baddies at once.

Thats it. Beat up bad guys. It does look like there is a "story mode" but I haven't dived into it yet. There is also a wave mode where you take on wave after wave of increasingly harder bad guys. You can even play with modifiers to keep the game different like exploding people or zero gravity fighting.

A fun Indie game that is worth the $20 in my opinion but at the time of this review its on sale for $9.99. Just a fun game that will have you laughing at the absurdity.

Way to early review.

Getting to understand the game a bit. I’m still early in the game but the game seems to be linear which is good. I thought it was gonna be rogue like based on what I read and what the intro felt like but I think there are points of the game where you save yourself from restarting. I think……..so far levels have had entry and exit points and you determine how you want to go about getting past everyone. You can’t carry huge amounts of ammo so going in guns hot may not work but I have done it before. You can creative with traps and kills. I feel like if I push into the storyline a little bit more I’m gonna get hooked in hard. Three star for now but I think this will be more as I play.

I love Fallout 3 and 4 and I played this one but I found it very.....meh. I feel like there is way too much wandering around and not coming across anything interesting. I kinda remember the story but to be honest I didn't find being a postal carrier all that fun. Add in the goofy looking Roman dressed gang and I just wasn't feeling it. I ended up just doing a lot of side quest and ranking up like crazy. Then took a few stealth boys, snuck into that Roman dressed up gang and slaughtered everyone. Game over. The story is what makes the Wasteland good and I just couldn't get into it with this one.

I will say a good thing this game brought was ADS. Made it easier to fight when you didn't have Action Points to use VATS.

Way too early review.

To start I have never played any form of D&D. Not that I never wanted to or think I wouldn't like it, I just never came across the opportunity to play. With that being said I am ten hours in and I am liking the story and play so far. I know that as I play longer I will learn more about what I am doing and should be doing compared to what I know now. In my head I do a lot of comparing this game to Elden Ring. They are nothing alike but I went into buying a really hyped up game from a developer I have never played before (or any "Souls" game) to loving Elden Ring and the style of game. I am in the same realm now; never played anything like D&D before and beginning to like it and learn along the way. I can definitely see this taking 100 hours to beat but not because it drags out but because of all the quests and side things to do (much like ER). I plan on doing another review once I beat the game and know more of what I am doing. Much like my beloved Elden Ring, I feel like this is a good game for a novice of the genre to hop into and learn. I imagine my second run through will be more fun than my first since I will probably know what I am doing at that point. More to follow later....

Some people may not like the theme of the game or what it condones. At the same time, shooting a hooker to get your money after getting some nookie in Grand Theft Auto isn't nice either. It's a video game, not real life. Have fun cat fishing y'all.

***Update***

Game gets significantly more difficult as you play. You earn stars be completing various tasks when playing a level. The more stars you receive the more level tiers you unlock (Graveyard 1 has a second tier of Graveyard 2). The higher tiers have harder enemies and more waves. Definitely helps keep all the levels fresh. Very good game still.

Way to early review. If you like @vampire-survivors you will love this game. Has different arenas and each level is 10 waves of enemies. Seems a little to easy so far but I am hoping it gets more challenging. Game has upgrades and many unlockables including many different characters to play. Definitely worth the $5.99 pricetag.

***Update***

Had to drop a star. The inability to manually save is killing me. Levels seems to be very long and if you have to stop playing halfway through a level and come back you will have to start over. Average level so far is taking me about an hour to beat. Should be able to manually save with such long levels or have auto save check points.

Way to early review. Gameplay video is mature for violence.

This game is awesome. I was afraid I was going to have a lull in gaming after just about 100 percenting Neon White but thankfully I was recommended this game. This game is a parkour speed running game that seems to be more story line and combat based than time trial. At the end of each level you are given your time and how many times you died so there is still a time trial element. Controls take a bit to get used to (especially the sensory mode) but after a short while it’s easy to figure out. Will update more as I play but this is another one of those games I may obsess over.

One other thing. You will die. A lot. So it can be frustrating a bit but there are check points through out the level. A seasoned Elden Ring player like myself is used to constantly dying in video games so this doesn’t bother me too much.

So far I am loving it. I actually hope minimal changes are made to the game right now. Classic racing with mini boosts from drifting while filling up a super boost meter that can be used with a press of a button. Controls are tight and smooth with tracks being set up perfectly for the soles and style of racing. Hope to see maybe rolling or flips that could be done to give mini boosts but if it doesn’t happen it won’t take away from the game. Getting fish tailed is annoying but I have caught up after having it done to me. Great game that adds to Fortnite’s repertoire.

This game is awesome. Bumped it up to 5 stars. The artistic graphics go really well and gives you that Jet Set Radio and Hi-Fi Rush feel. This is basically Tony Hawk on rolller skates and guns. Game takes place in 2030 and it’s got a Running Man vibe to it where you are playing for your survival by eliminating enemies. The cooler you eliminate them the higher score you get. You can continue to the next challenge and round just by killing all enemies but you can also go back and get a higher score or complete level challenges (just like Tony Hawk). I really encourage anyone who likes Tony Hawk games to give this a shot. It’s a really good pick up and put down game that won’t eat up all your time but can still be played for longer periods of time if you want to grind the game out. If you have Xbox GamePass you have no excuse. It’s free. Do it!

Way to early review. Think of Tony hawk without the possibility of falling and you kill people. That’s pretty much what it is. Pull off a not so large variety of tricks to get ammo and aim to lock on and kill the baddies. I love the art style of the game. Looks like it’s just a single player game which is kind of a bummer but so far it’s been fun. Will update as I play. Free on Gamepass also.

I really wish I got this game sooner. A very unique game that will remind you or Mirrors Edge. Parkour platforming time trial levels are highly addictive with very high replay value for each level outside of getting a better time. Story is intriguing with side quests you can unlock with different characters. There is a lot of sexual innuendo which gets a little old mixed with cringe dialogue from time to time but it doesn't take away from the game.

IF YOU LIKE TIME TRIALS YOU NEED TO GET THIS GAME. I can't recommend this game enough. Even if the Anime art style doesn't look like you cup of tea, I really suggest getting this game.

485d Starfield

Starfield

I love this game and pretty much can't stop playing it but there are some flaws that make this a 4 star game at the moment.

Not to go crazy in depth but this is Fall Out in space. Like many Bethesda games, the game play is a grind and you get lost in side-quests. You get really lost in side-quest in this game. I have read the main story can take 30-40 hours if you play straight through without any side quests. I can definitely see how this game is meant to play long term and possibly intermittently.

My gripe at the moment is the mapping. I don't mean the star map or even the sytem maps. Its the surface maps. No way can I remember where everything is on New Atlantis. I spent about 20 minutes the other day walking around looking for a place to sell my booster packs while encumbered. They gotta make something to show POI of settlements or cities in the game.

The mapping is not a game changer for me but it does get me frustrated to the point I put the game down for a bit.

If you like crafting and base building then this is your game also. Its not my cup of tea but I have had to craft pharmaceuticals to do some self care.

Overall I suggest everyone give it a try. Stay on the main story line until after the "Into the Unknown" mission.

494d Party Animals

Party Animals

Very early review but I don’t think my star number will change.

Like most things in life, someone invents something amazing just to have someone come perfect that persons invention and take all the glory. I’m sorry @gang-beasts , your game is awesome and I loved it but Party Animals took everything I had complaints with about your game and made it better. This game controls and handles well, keeps rounds going (no more gang beats players hanging to the top of the wall for 20 minutes) and improves the types of maps and games to play. This game is awesome.

I have only played a few games but so far the game is 4 teams of two and the team to have the last man standing 3 times wins the game. It keeps rounds moving fast yet gives everyone an opportunity to win. Everyone will notice one team going good and then they gang up on them. Weapons are included in this game which can’t be pivotal in winning but be careful not to knock yourself out while wielding said weapon. Get knocked out too much and your get permanently knocked out which helps with players who are beating everyone up yet have trouble picking up people and tossing them off the map.

This beat’em up party game is sure to be a hit comparable to @fall-guys-ultimate-knockout and @gang-beasts . So far only 8 people in a game which is fine but I’d like to see it open up slightly.

I highly encourage everyone to get this on Microsoft GamePass or drop the $20 for this game. I am sure to see this featured on a Saturday Night Fight Night here in C3 in the future.

This game is a walking simulator. The first 10 times I played I walked until I starved to death. I understand making something realistic in a way but its a video game. Give me a break. No map. No signs that are in an language I can understand. Just start walking. Don't trust anyone. I broke my leg and some dude came up to me and said he could help. I passed out and woke up with nothing. Dude was gone with everything. One time I made it about 4 hours into the game and was stocked up good. survived some PvP interactions and some zombie attacks. I was so nervous about loosing everything I stopped playing. Just give players a little help so we don't die from starvation every ten games.

Although from what I vaguely remember I felt like I was going in circles and never accomplishing anything in the game. Probably because I was using lots of cheat codes.

573d Hogwarts Legacy edited

Hogwarts Legacy

So I am keeping my original one star review below so I can be shamed for my ignorance. I hoped back on this game recently (so I could start beating games I paid for) and I am beginning to learn more of how the game should be played. The game is a definite grind if you want to unlock all the spells and get some coin to get new things which I have no problem with. I have been side questing a lot and decided to hop back onto the main quest again and so far I have been liking it.

My combat skills have improved with the dodging and deflecting. Basically I should left Hogwarts and started exploring more before I fell off. Once I learned too to sell everything I got and just change appearance I started making more money to buy more seeds and recipes. I really wish more games would do what Hogwarts did with the changing appearance. Keeps everything fresh and if you are playing a multiplayer game it keeps people from all looking the same with whatever the "meta" armor may be.

I haven't gotten into the roaming Hogwarts too much. I have unlocked all the fast travels but I know there are secrets and puzzles but its just not my thing. Maybe later in the game it will be but not now. Same with the Merlin trials.

I like the broom for getting around but I think the flight mechanics are clunky and needing some getting used too. Haven't gotten any Beasts yet.

I could see this being 5 stars as I play more since I am really beginning to like this which I am happy about since I was hyped for this game at first. Hope to beat this soon.

If you like RPGs and a little bit of Harry Potter give this a try.

*Original Review* Don't let @evolvixon see this review.

I am sorry I just couldn't get into this. I tried, believe me I spent money on it. I had a hard time with the map and figuring out where I was. Didn't help that there were staircases EVERYWHERE so I couldn't get a sense of direction. Way too much running around and talking to people also. I wish I could just use all my spells on everyone for fun at any moment. More freedom in the game. I want to try this again and have tried multiple times. I just always end up deleting the game and reinstalling Elden Ring. If I ever get to finish the game I will come back and think about upping it a star possibly.

583d Dante's Inferno edited

Dante's Inferno

Decided to try and play some older games I have an haven't played before and started with Dante's Inferno. I have played this before when it came out on Xbox 360 and I really like it then. I read Inferno in high school and was fascinated by Dante's depiction of what Hell is like. The game does a pretty good job staying close to the poem and Virgil sort of guides you and give you lore along the way. Obviously some artistic licensing is used to make the game good (like Dante being a total badass).

Gameplay is very smooth even 13 years later. When I say its a wash down clone of original God of War, I am not taking anything away from the game but complimenting it. It is really a fun game with God of War mechanics. Lots of button mashing and timing but you still feel like you're not just spazzing out and actually doing combos.

I think this game would look beautiful with todays generation of consoles. The graphics were amazing on 360 and still hold up today. If you have Game Pass this is a must play.

***NOTE*** If there was ever a game to not play with your children around it is this game. Ultra-violent with demonic and horrifying visuals. Also highly hellishly sexual when you are in Lust.

I have no clue how I ended up playing this game but I can't stop. I love the mechanics and beginning to learn the customization's. For the game being relatively old it does a good job of on-boarding a new player. You just gotta take your time and grind it out. The game does give you back story on any DLCs you don't have. You can play all the campaigns from each new DLCs but you have to buy DLCs to do more online things like raids (I think; haven't gotten that far). Its a good change up though when it comes to gaming. I am just going to keep playing and learning as I go. I figured if I can learn Elden Ring by just playing I can do the same with this. More to come as I learn.

I have gotten used to the controls and its pretty easier to play with the touch screen. I rarely play mobile games but I have been putting runs in all morning.

I am not sure how far into the game I am but I am really getting into this game. Its my first Final Fantasy game I have played and I am liking it a lot so far. Not what I though it was going to be. I love the meter system that will only allow you to do something when the meter is full. It keeps the turned based fighting fast and not dull and slow. I also like how you are given some strong characters from the start. You are not getting your butt whooped too much at first. Story-line seems interesting between al the characters so far but you can tell that Terra has what seems to be the more interesting and mysterious story. Looking forward to continue playing this game and beating it so I can explore other Final Fantasy games!

I feel like playing multiplayer is less sweaty in this game as opposed to Warzone. I thought about taking a star away because of the confusing weapon upgrades. Basically the game forces you to use weapons you normally wouldn't just to upgrade the weapon you want to upgrade. Its not that much of a deal breaker but its annoying.

Ghostwire: Tokyo

A first person RPG where you upgrade your characters abilities with a weird Alice in Borderland vibe that has you feel like you’re tripping balls? Yes please.

Fun game so far that is creepy but not really horror like. It may seem like a lot is being thrown at you at first but I believe that’s how this genre of Japanese thrillers work. It really reminds me of Netflix’s Alice in Borderland with the Japanese sci-fi and thriller feel. Not at all the same but I can relate the two. I am early into the game but it’s seems promising from the start. Will update once completed; I definitely see myself finishing this game.

Early edit and suggestion: If you want the authentic feel keep the Japanese audio language on. The game starts with English subtitles. I ended up switching to English audio so it was easier to focus on the game and hear the story at the same time. English audio is good quality still.

I may go get a PS4 to try this again after playing Elden Ring. If you though Elden Ring didn’t give much direction this game doesn’t tell you a thing. It’s why I quit after about an hour. Now I know how it works. Gonna try and give it another chance.

It has been a few years since I played this but like what @laughatbrian said, this game is crazy hard. I remember having to change the difficulty setting so I could basically end up with a million lives to keep playing the game with my 5 year old daughter at the time. Buuuuuuttttt, it is Donkey Kong so it was an awesome game. Donkey Kong platform games are better than Mario. I know what I said and I stand by it. Enemies are more creatively diverse and the so are the levels. I played this on Switch and its about high time we get another DK game.

This game was the first game I played that really had a totally destructible environment. Add in the low gravity and it made destroying everything even more fun. It has been a while but I remember playing as a character that is trying to take down evil corporations that are hurting everyone on Mars by sabotaging the work they are doing and getting in random gun fights using the construction weapons available. You really do have to use a guerilla mindset to complete a lot of the missions which makes it a lot of fun ambushing enemies and seeing their vehicles fly after exploding and hit a building and the building collapses. Really a game I think I could get back into if the controls aren't as wonky compared to controls now a days.

Probably the best VR experience I have had to date. I would really get into this game laying on the ground and sucking incoming rounds. If you didn’t try to do the Neo bullet dodge you aren’t playing this right. Concept is everything moves in slow motion except when you are in motion. So you have to time your shots, throws, and punches correctly. Never beat the game and I need to get back into it. You will build up a sweat playing this.

Best COD ever. The only game that I ever pre-ordered and technically I didn't pre-order it, my brother did for my birthday. The online play changed gaming forever. I think CoD tried to make the new Modern Warfare in 2019 more like this and it worked. When the remastered came out and the online play was revitalized I was pumped. the best nostalgia dopamine hit I had playing a video game in a while. The campaign was just as good and game changer as well. Many iconic gaming moments came from this campaign. Modern Warfare II 2022's campaign is like this one but fell short. If Call of Duty wants to win its ugly and angry fans back full time (like me) they need to make a CoD that mimics this game. Love it.

Turbo Golf Racing

So I downloaded this game because I like being wanted be different and play a different type of golf game than everyone else for the Golf Game quest on 12-27-22. The game is free on Xbox Game Pass. Basically you take Rocket League and instead of going against another team and getting the ball in a net you are going against the course getting it into a "hole".

Lots of potential with this game and it is lots of fun. From what I have played so far you can't hit the other players balls with your car but you can collect power ups and shoot missiles at their ball and knock it away. Fastest into the hole wins the hole and there are three holes in a match.

The biggest downfall is the driving mechanics are not smooth and fluid like RL. Epic needs to buy this game and put the driving mechanics from Rocket League into Turbo Golf racing. This game would do so good and make lots of money. Potential for Channel 3 quests also. Three stars for the mechanics; gotta fix it if you are going to make a game that looks like a rip off of RL.

Just beat the game and keeping it 5 stars. Maybe 4.5 since the ending was a bit underwhelming. I didn’t think the game would have replay value but it does if your an achievement hunter and the warp discs add extra fun to the game. Each level has unexplored areas that you don’t go to during the story so there is more to see with added one liners from your weapons. there does look like there will be add ons put in the game eventually with some functions in the game say out of order which makes me think more will be added. Over all fun gameplay with lots to do and easy mechanics to learn. Not everyone would like this game but I do see it forming a cult following.

An early 5 stars. Not sure how far in the game I am yet but it’s hilarious and fun. Best description I can think of in the infinite universes if Rick Sanchez came across an alien universe that is a mix of Fallout and Conker’s Bad Fur Day than this is it. Seems to be a linear but still able to explore. Will follow up as I play. Worth the free download on Game Pass.

Warzone really took all the best aspects of battle royale games and created an amazing experience. But it began to stray away from what made it good and implemented two bad COD games into Warzone.

One of the few games that is almost ten years old and is still just as fun to play today as it was in 2013.

The music levels that unlock after beating level bosses. you are forced to run and jump with the beat of the music which can be more challenging in later levels. You will catch yourself humming along Rayman versions songs and music. Black Betty by Ram Jam goes perfectly wit the first song level but my favorite has to be the Mariachi version of Survivors Eye of the Tiger.

I am hooked. I think this could be one of the top tactical games out there. I have never played a game where it is so important to know what your job is and not deviate from your duties and expect to win. It literally takes a team to win a game. I really suggest everyone give it a try and stick with it. I didn’t at first and fell off but now I can’t stop playing this. Part of it was I didn’t take @itswhitethunder and @nanner advice and stick with one character at first. Once I did that during the Battle Mercy challenge I not only learned tactics but I learned how to use other character as well by just playing the game and seeing how other played.

Most underrated CoD. Change my mind. The story line was good and playable plus the multiplayer was great. Maps were good and weapons were good. I liked the new take on perks and classes. I really wish CoD would use this style more often. Even with the lobby waiting area on the beach was cool. I really think this should of been the last WW2 game for a while. It was so good. I wish people still played this. Prop hunt was the best. Top three CoD's for sure.

Cult of the Lamb

A Jim Jones version of Animal Crossing. I just got the game and I’m loving it. Will write something more detailed as I play. If you have a Switch I’d buy it in that cuz it seems to be a good handheld game to play.

UPDATE: I have been playing this a lot more lately as my love for roguelike games increases. I love how the runs ae pretty short but there is levels also. A run to beat a heretic could take 5-20 minutes but you have to do it 4 times to finally defeat them. Also while you do this you are playing evil Animal Crossing and trying to keep your cult followers happy. The "Relics of the Old Faith" update brings a new twitst to the game with giving you more upgrades and special powers that can be collected and then used through your run. The update also comes with all your cult members names above them now (thank god) and new layouts to each area you go into. If you love rougelike games this is not one to skip.

I have been thinking about this game a lot. I could not for the life of me remember the name. I just remember when I was about 7 years old when we would visit my Aunt, I would sit and play this game. I had no idea what I was doing but I loved it. I think I got past the tree level only a few times. Honestly this is probably the game that got me into gaming. I googled “NES game where you are a knight jumping on trees”. Boom, just like Leonardo DiCaprio I pointed and said hey I have seen this before. There it was 32 years later but felt like yesterday. Crazy how our brains work.

Best story every. RockStar did them wrong with Red Dead Online. Only problem with online was there would 32 players on a server and you would occasionally pass some one. Most were in Valentine which normally ended in a bloodbath. Still the G.O.A.T.

I was pumped for this game since I really loved Mario Golf. I wish I bought the physical copy so I could trade it in for something. I just can’t get into. I feel like I’m button mashing and couldn’t understand the Clubs (sorry to the TDG). Just chaos but not in a good and fun way.

I think I am in the minority when I say Fall Out is better than Elder Scrolls. I was late on this one because I am not big on "base building" once I learned its not a huge part of the game I tried it out and loved it. I love not relying less on VATS and using aim down sight more with this game (better than New Vegas). Best Fallout game.

"Try fingers, but whole" (if you know, you know). Saying this is one of the greatest games is beating a dead horse. I advise anyone who is thinking about playing it to just do it. This isn't even my type of game and its now one of my favorite of all time. If they drop some DLC I am in trouble.

Playing this game will have you leaning in your seat in an attempt to make it up that hill. This game really set up the rest of the Trial shames which I think are highly underrated. I really wish more people played this series because it would be perfect for challenges. It's also a good game for dudes who need that brain-dead time. It really is a good game and so are all the other subsequent Trials.

I got so into this game I thought I had to kill all the officer Orc’s and I didn’t play the story line. I built up my skill tree so much I breezed through the game once I started actually playing. Storyline is awesome and all the skills you learn are unique and all are usable.
