Specular Stranded

Specular Stranded

Stay Dark, Stay Silent, Stay Alive

The gameplay revolves around light based stealth. Stay in the shadows and keep hidden, silently takedown foes using either lethal or non-lethal takedowns or shoot at your enemies using your silenced pistol and rifle. Getting into shootouts is a bad idea, health is low, enemies are accurate.

Hack Cameras and turrets, Pick locks, Hide Bodies, Shoot out lights, throw distractions.

Use your Silenced Rifle or Pistol to take out your enemies. Aim for the head, missing a headshot will have enemies moving on your position.

Explore the Ship, uncover the secrets it holds.

Stalk your enemy from the shadows, learn their patrol routes, distract and silently takeout your foes.

Use your X-Ray device to see in the dark and spot enemies through walls.

Experience zero gravity exploration sections within the ship.

Make the choice to become a ghost and never leave a trace or choose to knock out or kill your enemies.

Chicken Holmes - The Mystery of Bartolomeu

I liked the idea of the little chicken, with a humor, just stay tuned to the details and look for clues, in the classic point-click style.

“You MUST'“Right Click' to use a Key”

Honestly, I liked it. Its super super short, but I really appreciated the environment, great use of transitions, both sound and light. I mean its a solid little indie experience, kinda like you would find on itchio. The ‘LoF’ inspiration is very obvious but it doesnt hurt this little gem, it still manages to feel like a fresh story with some fun voice acting.

My only real complaints, is the at no time, does the game tell you, you must “Right Click” to use a key. Honestly, had it not been for another reviewer, it may have taken me even longer to finish. The notes shade of yellow will some times blend with the light and many many times I trouble clicking on things, due to the reticle being the same white color as the pocket SUN that this guy uses as a flashlight.

A good game for the price and better than many games out there that are way more expensive, so give it a go. You can see that Layers of Fear was the inspiration for this game.The few problems I noticed was the torch seemed to be over bright at the wrong time, trying to read notes or look at photos or other stuff and the torch bleached out all the details, you had to point the torch away a little to read notes or press E. It would have been much better if we had clearer instructions as most of us had to use trial and error to open doors etc. Also the story behind the action was at best very weak but I appreciated the effort. Well worth supporting the developer.

Assassin’s Creed® Origins

Assassin’s Creed® Origins

Simply put, AC Origins is a fantastic title that does an excellent job giving players an in-depth view into both Greco-Roman and Old to New Kingdom Egypt. The strength of the story line comes on the back of the great voice acting and story arc of the protagonist, Bayek of Siwa.

Exploring the ancient temples and pyramids across Egypt was an amazing adventure, and the new Discovery Tours feature is fantastic as you can now immerse yourself in a guide history tour of Ancient Egypt! No wonder university professors have been using it as a learning tool recently. With minimal bugs, great graphics, a solid story line with an amazing protagonist who rivals Ezio, AC Origins is a strong entry into the franchise.

I played this after AC Odyssey, expecting it to be a carbon copy in sepia tones and I gotta say it’s not. I despised AC Odyssey and while this game isn’t perfect either, it is a vast improvement (which is funny considering it was released first). The story is unique and tragic, and most importantly makes sense as an origin story for the creed.

Because there is no level scaling, you can finally feel like you’re making progress, while at the same time still requiring you to use a strategy. You can’t just hulk smash every enemy. Stealth matters here and there is no better feeling than taking out an entire stronghold without being detected. You are an assassin after all, which, yes, means you finally have a hidden blade again. Treasure it, keep it close, don’t let it drift away.

40% of the time you meet kids that rip your ears apart from the inside but other 60% when you meet actually normal people , you can have the best murder mystery ever. Really good game for the money , not at all repetitive unlike some other games of the same genre. I really like murder mystery in movies , books or games and this was exactly what i expected. If only the games lasted longer or there was a bigger map , perhaps other maps.

For the money , it’s worth to atleast try the game.

O I thought I heard the old man say

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

Tomorrow you will get your pay

And it’s time for us to leave her!

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!

For the voyage is long and the winds don’t blow

And it’s time for us to leave her!

Oh the wind was foul and the sea ran high

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

She shipped it green and none went by

And it’s time for us to leave her!

Leave her, Johnny, leave her!

Oh, leave her, Johnny, leave her!

Assassin’s Creed® Liberation HD

Short Version: A solid 6/10. Not the best the AC franchise has to offer, but I’ve seen worse games.

The Not So Short Version:

Positives:

  • the Bayou area - I could almost smell the swamp.

  • The fabric of New Orleans: this city has character!

  • The three different personas of Aveline. I loved that you get 3 different lives within one game and one character.

  • The story/plot of the game.

  • Sugar cane machete as a weapon. Need I say more?

  • Connor re-appears. It’s always nice to see a familiar face.

I am kind of biased because I love the AC franchise, and how it mixes historical and science fiction with conspiracy theories, and I have been a fan of stealth games since the original Splinter Cell way back when as well as the Prince of Persia franchise, which I’ve played to the point where each new playthrough would be essentially a speed run with some story interruption. It should be taken into account that this is a port of a PS Vita game, so it doesn’t have the depth and breadth of a typical AC entry, but it is still worth the time. So, let’s get down to it:

Dishonored 2 - is this a game for you?

Right now, the game is undergoing a spell of patching after a very poor PC release. The game worked for some, but not for many, and so your mileage will vary depending on your PC (not necessarily how powerful it is either - but how balanced, how much VRAM you have and such). As most reviews already centre around performance issues, I won’t spend too much time on those because I’d rather review the game itself but please bear them in mind (they are mentioned in the ‘not so good’ section below)….

My experience with this game can be summed as thus: every update I found myself testing the changes, nodding in satisfaction, then quitting the game to await the next update.

Arkane knows how to make a good game. No question. But if you film an Oscar-worthy movie and the lens is smudged while filming, you can’t judge what’s underneath without acknowledging what’s been marring your experience the entire time.

=============================

PERFORANCE

Everyone is aware of the performance issues, and these still persist to this day. It runs much better than at launch, where it was literally unplayable, but that’s because the game looks worse than before - the most noticeable change being the extremely aggressive LOD scaling. Out of the corner of your eye you notice the shapes of window frames and posters on distant buildings morphing in shape, or the furniture at the opposite end of a long hallway suddenly blinking into existence. FPS dropped to 15 when stabbing a gravehound, so they simply removed the inky visual effect that was causing the problem instead of optimizing it.
