MADNESS: Project Nexus

MADNESS: Project Nexus

Madness Project Nexus. First of all the obvious. 600+ hours as of writing this you already know I’m going to recommend this game. Here’s why:

Why Reccomend This?

I am one of the original kickstarter backers. I’ve been around since the beginning. So I’ve seen and played this game throughout it’s entire development lifecycle. Throughout it all I’ve seen the game change a lot, from it’s graphical upgrades, to refinement of the mechanics and gameplay design, I’ve played this game through it’s best and worst. And the one thing I can absolutely say is that this is a great game that I’ve had a lot of fun with, and am confident it only gets better from here.

sandford is a massive handsome hunk and i’d smooch on him all day

Jokes aside, I’ll go through the game and what I experienced. I played through Arena mode 2 times and am currently playing as ‘The Massive’, and I’ve beat the base game all on normal, and am yet to play it on tough.

This is my real first review, so i’ll break it into segments. In order, Story, Arena, and Playground. This is the order you SHOULD play the game, or at least in parts.

Story : In the story, you play through a long and grueling journey as Hank and his buds, and you make new friends along the way on your conquest to take down Project Nexus. The story, i binged through and completed in 3 days, but if you take your time, you’ll complete it in a balanced span of time. There are unique, fun to fight factions, many bosses fit for each faction and event, neatly designed levels and segments the game is played through, and many show-casings of scripting, unique weapons, and story building. It’s strong and fun, and satisfying to replay on higher difficulties. The added outfit system to allow you to replay levels with different setups is great fun. Some bits may be found strange or frustrating to fight through, but as me, a medium skill player, I always eventually prevailed. It’s definitely the main focus of the game. I rate it 8.5/10, it satisfied my Madness Combat itch!

Project Xandata

Project Xandata

Project Xandata is a skill-based, team-focused, competitive 3v3 first-person shooter by veteran Filipino developers Secret 6.

Explore an expansive customization system that lets you play in your chosen way. Engage in your chosen play style and synergize with your team to win rounds, collect shards, or eliminate opposing players. Enjoy a world that blends sci-fi & fantasy in a game that blends gunplay discipline with skill-based gameplay.

Choose between the stealthy Agent, nimble Marksman, and tanky Juggernaut. With 2 elemental affinities each, they all have their own unique set of skills. Pick between 9 weapons with various perks that match how you want to play.

KEY FEATURES

  • Easy Access - All classes have access to the same weapons without needing to earn anything.

  • Pace & Movement - Outmaneuver your opponent with agile skills and fast-paced gameplay. A longer time-to-kill balances out the fast movement.

  • High-Impact 3v3 - The smaller team size means players have a more important role in the team, allowing for a good mix between synergy and individual impact.

  • Unrestricted Weapon & Perk System - Pick your weapon loadout then select the perks that work for you. You can choose the loadout that suits your playstyle.

  • MagiTech System - MagiTech is the ancient technology that powers a Xandat’s elemental skills. Master the skills to make an impact aside from just shooting weapons.

4 GAME MODES

  • Corruption - Race with the enemy team to collect enough shards. Eliminated players drop 1 shard and the goal is to collect 100 enemy shards to win. Need more shards? Keep your eyes open for the Obelisk that spawns around the map. Destroy it for an extra 8 shards but be careful of the enemy team!

  • Skirmish - Square off in a time-limited skirmish. Every elimination gives 100 base points, but different manners of elimination give extra points. Turn up the skill and the style if you want to reach 5,000 points first and win the game.

  • Overcharge - Secure the discharged battery, bring it to a Lightning Rod, and charge it to 100%. Defend the battery well because the enemy will try their best to steal it from you.

  • Annihilation - Wipe out the enemy team in pure combat. The first team to win 5 rounds will win the match. You only have 3 revives available per round so use them wisely! Do you go for the revive or can you win with a man down?

4 MAPS

  • Aruum Station - Malandoq’s Lightning Archipelago rests in high orbit, with many interconnected stations that span across the Xandaigdig. Aruum Station is one of the key facilities used for speedy transportation of personnel and supplies throughout the known world.

  • Site Agalon - The Tundra Warlords survive by scavenging the wastelands for trade. Excavation Site Agalon is newly discovered so elite Xandats are still trying to secure it.

  • High Suludlan - Easily the Imperium’s symbol of pride and strength, High Suludlan rests cleanly above the Water Elevator, guarding the Imperium Enclave from intruders.

  • Sundown Forge - This weapons facility is a rogue faction’s contingency plan should their ambition within the Alliance of Nations prove to be untenable. It holds a vast number of schematics and prototypes from various Xandaigdig time periods that can help develop a war arsenal.

Hyper Dash

Hyper Dash

My favorite VR game period. If you wanted to scratch a fast pace halo/Quake/Unreal type first person 5v5 shooter itch than this is it. Smooth, fast, and skill really shines. Very active player base from 1 year of an open testing period. Mature competitive league already with streamers and casters covering matches. This is the benchmark of FPS VR Shooter E-sports. Monthly updates and additions with developers who have a good relationship with their users via discord. Highly recommended and is the game I keep coming back to.

Real player with 567.9 hrs in game

This game definately needs more attention from the VR communuity.

A very smooth experience. The guns feel great and the combat is pretty fun.

The Cons.

Feels like a daycare. There are alot of little children that play and it can be frankly annoying.

Hit Detection/ Lag Compensation - This will absolutely make or brake this game. This game is very fast paced many weapons can instantly kill and most of the time the game seems to favor some players over others when it comes to hit detection espically when it comes to dashing out of a firefight, makes it tougher as well because if you die right after letting loose a rocket, or a killing blow the game will just out right ignore it. Weirdly Hyper Dash has some of the lowest pings for servers and the way the game handles damage it feels like it heavily rewards players with higher ping rates.

Comme d’hab, Max et Zino nous offrent du lourd !

On a le droit à un jeu de grande qualité pour un prix très abordable.

Les différentes améliorations disponibles sont super, le jeu est beau, les maps sont travaillées.

Donc oui, ce jeu est réussi sur tous les aspects.

Hâte de voir de futures mises à jour, qui, je suis sûr, renderont l’expérience encore meilleure.

Et encore félicitation aux deux développeurs !

Really good game, still a little rough around the edges but that’s to be expected since it came out so recently. Can become oddly terrifying if you spend too much time in the lobby trying to do the parkour.
