THE GAME OF LIFE

THE GAME OF LIFE

I get why this has mixed reviews but at the price point it’s worth it. This is basically just a digital recreation of your favorite childhood game. Not much more and not much less.

There are a couple small interface issues, like for example sometime a card pops up for a few seconds and before you’ve figured out what the card even says you are being asked to select another player to apply the card to…. now I don’t know if this card is going to take money away from them or pay them money becasue I can’t actually see the card when slecting another player. So the two obvious solutions are to either make you select the card to continue so at least you have a chance to read it or acknowledge it before selecting another player or leave the card visible when selecting another player. But neither is an option here.

cute little game thats nice to play it has a great soundtrack and nice visuals. theres not much in terms of variety for the actual gameplay but the game itself lasts awhile so theres lots to do. Theres not many players so playing online is kind of depressing and playing with the CPU just doesnt feel that fun but the pass and play feature for people irl is actually a great way to play if you want to play with real people. I assume in the future where there are more players that own the game online will improve. The game can get glitchy, sometimes in really bad spots, like the spinner froze for me right at the very end of the game which felt really frustrating but its not frequent enough to be a real issue. The game is nice to play if you can’t decide what else to play or you’re really bored. Also its worth noting that the acheivements are really easy to complete and you can probably get them all perfect in like 6-7 hrs of gameplay so its good if you like getting perfect games or something. Overall a good game and my expectations were definitely exceeded.

Lux Delux

Lux Delux

Risking it All

Lux Delux is a Risk game where you play on technically an infinite variety of maps and control various “pieces” as you attempt to defeat your opponents. This plays very much like a board game with very little strategy to it. You’re going to find yourself just build doom stacks of units and then plowing through enemy territory. At the same time, there is immense satisfaction as you finally plow through enemy stacks and make the entire board your color. The unique boards you can play with that users created can range from plain to superb and complex. Despite having the exact same mechanics every time, seeing these new environments and moving your units throughout them makes you feel like you’re conquering completely new areas. Even the hex-based maps that seem to be abundant have their own unique flair to them. This game is not particularly hard, even on hard AI so I recommend at least playing on medium even if you’re a more casual gamer.

Game Summary:

I’m sure there are several different board games this would be similar to, but when I look at it, it reminds me of Risk. Risk isn’t as notorious as Monopoly is for being a relationship-ruining, hours-long game, but from the times I’ve played Risk it does tend to take a while. Plus, there can be some contention as to what rules or style to base the game off of, as randomly drawing cards can set someone up and screw other people. However, getting to select where to start also has some drawbacks as it can develop an immediate rivalry between two players whilst another can dodge the conflict and conspire against both. This rendition of the game offers the benefits of strategy and territory-conquering board games, without the need for physical space. It also would probably be faster since it’s pretty easy to set up different rules and situations without much effort.

UNO

UNO

So this game is tons of fun, I gotta say, it’s fantastic to play with a group of friends because, as always, Uno is great fun. The card packs and new rulesets are also fantastic and really change up the pace of the game and make it even more fun, beyond what normal Uno can provide.

That’s about all it’s got going for it though. The coding of the game itself and the networking are absolutely atrocious. For absolutely no reason, people will drop from games, be incapable of fully loading into games, crash on startup, etc. etc.. Many core features (like calling out Uno) are broken to a degree that makes a potential win into a complete loss. Needless to say, the entire game is pretty much broken somewhere somehow despite the fact that it’s literally just Uno. I have no idea how you screw up Uno this badly, but these developers apparently made that a reality. If it was just one or two of these bugs in isolation, I could put up with it, but the quality of this game makes me feel like unpaid interns created it and that it’s literally just a project for Ubisoft interns to work on that generates them some cash on the side. There’s no care at all for quality put into it, which I mean sure, it can’t be that popular of a game and isn’t a flagship, but it still flagrantly displays it’s made by Ubisoft and is grossly broken. Not that I expect anything else out of Ubisoft, but for god’s sake, it’s just a damn card game, how do you make it so that just to play an online card game it can take 20 minutes of restarting games just to get it to work, only to then have people just disconnect at the start or mid-game for no reason despite them having no connection issues at all on their end?
