Kick-Ass 2
Kick-Ass 2 has decent cartoon-like visuals, with cell-shading effects and all that jazz. However, it’s the only solid positive point about the game. It’s a short beat’em up, which was supposed to go the same road as Watchmen: The End is Nigh 5 years before. However, it fails at being a fighting game thanks to god-awful controls, unbalanced and buggy brawl process, and lack of any possible fan-service things someone would expect from following-the-movie-title.
Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass himself ain’t sound or look like themselves (comparing to Chloë Moretz and Aaron Johnson characters).

If you are looking for a terrible example of licensed shovelware, here it, Kick-Ass 2, the stinky king of the trash hill.
Released over a year after the second movie bombed in theaters, Freedom Factory decided to grace the gaming scene with this piece of interactive entertainment, but forgoing anything that has to do with actual fun and entertainment.
Here is the shit list:
-Absolutely horrendous voice over on all the main characters, especially Kick-Ass himself who sounds like an annoying Spanish kid trying his hardest to fit in The Hamptons. I imagine the conversation that occurred at Freedom Factory went like this: Producer: “Great job on the Spanish voice over, you brought out the vigilante in you. So, can you do the English, Italian and German too?” VO: “Uh, well, you know.. Product: “Excellent, I’ll schedule you for a couple more hours. Jorgeeeee! We’re good on localization! Cancel the American’s contract.”

Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 2
One more chapter of street brawl beat’em up with Watchmen characters, ’70s decorations and overall grim atmosphere of the end of western civilization. I “recommend” the game, yes. But just barely. And only for those who really love Watchmen series and Rorschach in particular, since it’s one of the two games where you can control him to brake some bones in usual “street justice” quest.
Some say that “The End is Nigh Part 2” is much much better than “Part 1”. It’s a great exaggeration. Some little annoying things were tuned a bit, but generally “Part 1” and “Part 2” are quite the same. The second part was released only four months after the first part… The game engine is the same, the gameplay is the same and even the enemies are mostly the same. What’s new? Well, it’s a new chapter of Watchmen’s story, a new quest, not correlated with the Watchmen movie or the first game. You still have a choice of Rorschach or Nigth Owl (or both in local co-op game) and they are almost the same as they were in Watchmen Part 1. Except for a little power up for Night Owl, to balance it in combat abilities with Rorschach (who was much more useful than Night Owl in the first game).

Watchmen: The End is Nigh
The biggest reason to recommend this title is how satisfying the combat feels. Hits are weighty, meaty, and pack plenty of “oomph”. It really feels like you’re smashing your fist into someone’s face, and the added atmosphere provided by the Watchmen license only helps keep things intersting across the game’s relatively short length.
The combat system is based around a standard light/heavy attack dynamic, but with a few notable nuances. For one, in order to perform combos, you have to time your attacks properly, which in addition to preventing button mashing, creates strategy in deciding which combo is appropriate in which situation. For example, you might really want to use the High Damage combo all the time, but it takes long enough to pull off that you need to be more selective.

For a modern player who doesn’t really like Watchmen comics, this game might be a way-below-the-average. It’s a very plain beat’em with some very plain story about the re-election of Nixon (who were not reelected in our history line) and Rorschach and Nigth Owl in cooperation beating some thugs in the (supposed) backstreets of New York in chase of Underboss character who recently escaped from Sing Sing Facility.
There are only five levels, which you can run through in about 2, maybe 3 hours, so don’t expect much even if you’re Watchmen’s fan. For the good points, the visuals are actually decent, and if you have NVidia GPU and proper drivers installed, this game will run just ok. AMD-users, though, and even more - people who can’t check their drivers, might have problems with the launch.

Chenso Club
The alien invaders are everywhere, attacking everything and everyone! And when they die, the life-force they leave behind is an ultra-incredible energy source! Is there any hope?
Meet the Chenso Club: a growing group of fighters here to save the world. They’re using the aliens’ life-force to power up and beat them at their own game. Don’t let their adorable nature fool you - they will happily and brutally obliterate any threat that gets in their way.
Meet Blue, a powerful android developed in a lab where an alien discovery was used to ultra-boost her power. Her weapon of choice is a mean chainsaw and a charmingly destructive attitude.
Carmine is a highly-trained member of the royal guard, tasked with protecting the King. After a surprise alien attack, her King is now being held hostage and her honor demands that she save the day. Her weapon of choice is a giant hammer, infused with the power of alien essence. Her activity of choice is destroying aliens every chance she gets.
Plum’s favorite hobby is trying out different kinds of witchcraft. This bubbly character spends most of her day at the abandoned clock tower. What she doesn’t know is that the clock tower is now haunted by creepy monsters from another universe!
Remember! The Chenso Club is growing - so more characters are on their way!
Our heroines want any excuse to use their newfound powers. It’s up to you to master their moves, increase their power and show the world the might of the Chenso Club.

Deadbeat Heroes, a game that will give you a heroic feeling once you finish it! Unless you play in co-op - not expecting the game to get harder when another player joins … - I wouldn’t recommend this game to :dea:dbeats: the bosses are surprisingly easy, and even the final boss, Prime Sinister, is (relatively) easy, but especially the last 2 chapters took me some time to successfully complete (taking into account the required grade/score) – 10-2 & 10-3 being brutally hard in my opinion. What plays a part as well in this, are the visual explosions; it’s all very aesthetically pleasing, but that makes it harder to not get hit by hordes of enemies. Since you need to aim for a bunch of combos for the grade, being careful is rarely an option to compensate the hit chance, so there’s a bit luck involved here and there – fortunately not calling it a game that requires trial and error, because I’d estimate it’s 40% responsiveness, 30% tactics, 10% accuracy (feels like there’s an ‘aiming assist’), 10% luck & 10% fearlessness (there’s a lot at stake after some progress due to the lengthier missions, and completion = fail if you don’t achieve the required grade).

Batman™: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition
Anyone seen my Keys to the Batwing?
Sidescroller meets Batman! but how well did the mix go?…
This is the 2nd Game in the Arkham Series storyline. It is noticeably different in terms of gameplay and the players perspective when playing. This biggest difference to other games that this has, is definetely the Side-Scrolling Style. It is a 2.5 Dimensional Experience (Wrap your head around that!) -Basically mortal kombat 9..
The main reasons for the change are:
-Armature Studios (Known for Metroid) created the bulk of content here.

Ah, the spin-offs… Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you can’t avoid ‘em. There’s something popular? Publisher starts with all sorts of stuff to make more money from it. At the point of 2013, we’ve already got ourselves two Arkham games for mobiles (Arkham City Lockdown and Arkham Origins, not to be confused with the one we have here, in Steam), both of which were pretty much the same exact thing (some sort of touchscreen-oriented fighting games), but there was also this. A spin-off game for PlayStation Vita. You know… PlayStation Vita? A brilliant system that was ruined by SONY’s greed and stupidity? It was a pretty cute and powerful little beast, so… it was only logical for it to get its own Arkham game. Surprisingly, what we’ve got here is not… really a proper Arkham game. I mean, yeah, we’re talking ‘bout the portable system here, but like I said, Vita was pretty powerful and it was more than enough to provide us with proper Assassin’s Creed experience for example. Sure, Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation was smaller and more limited than its bigger brother, but come on! It was a proper Assassin’s Creed. In your pocket. Here? It’s entirely different story.

Excellent game, ran up to a group of gangsters and they kicked the s*** out of me until my health was into negative 4 digits 10/10

A really fun game once you get used to the controls. There’s tons of power combination and pretty good outfit customization that makes it loads of fun to recreate existing superheroes or come up with your own and run around feeling powerful. Very rough around the edges but worth it if you love superheroes and/or roguelikes

Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition
This game has aged well and still stands on its own merits, even with Injustice 2 available. A fun, casual friendly fighter with a decent story and good overall direction. The characters all look and feel great. In truth, I prefer this to the sequel in a lot of ways. That said, this recommend comes with some hefty caveats:
1. S.T.A.R. Labs is a set of hundreds of side-missions added to the game to pad its length. They generally involve either a flash-game quality arcade style minigame or a semi-normal fight with your arms tied behind your back and/or major RNG components. They are godawful, but there’s an achievement tied to completing them all with the best score possible (but only requires completing 240/300 missions since the last 60 are DLC), so they’re unavoidable if you’re an achievement hunter. I can’t express enough how terribly designed and balanced this aspect of the game is and it was almost enough for me to leave a negative review. Grinding them out is a truly awful gameplay experience, which I think the devs realized since the skins we’d normally have to unlock there come pre-unlocked in this version.

“Gods Among Us: Anyone can be a Hero”
Fighting games have long since descended from their all-conquering dizzying heights (in the 80’s and 90’s) to become almost a niche genre, as both games and gamers diversify. Within this evolving landscape, ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us (The Ultimate Edition)’ manages to brawl its way into contention as a polished, well crafted fighter, that despite its issues, is a fine addition to any Fight Game enthusiast’s collection.
Campaign: Released in late 2013, NetherRealm | Warner Bros. follow up on the commercial success of ‘Mortal Kombat: The Komplete Edition’ by essentially replicating that game within the DC Comics universe. The ‘Campaign’ mode follows the story arc from the ‘Injustice’ comic books, wherein a crazed Joker has killed Lois Lane and detonated a nuclear device in Metropolis. The game picks up with an enraged Superman asserting martial law over the planet and slowly turning from protector to oppressor. Narrated through well conceived animated cut-scenes and interspersed with 1-on-1 battles, gamers assume control of all their favorite characters as well as some others they might not have been so inclined to. The usual suspects are all here – from Batman, Superman, The Joker, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Green Arrow and Bane to a host of newer faces like Doomsday, Solomon Grundy, Frost, DeathStroke and Aquaman. A variety of Single Player Arcade-style Tournaments, Challenges, and lots of unlockable comic lore round out a content-rich title.
