Vanquish

Vanquish

Information

Title: Vanquish

Developer(s): Platinum Games

Publisher(s): Sega

Genre(s): Action, third-person shooter

Game Engine: Havok

Release Date: 25 May, 2017

Mode(s): Single-player

Review

+ Merits:

If you are in a hurry and want to play a video game expeditiously, then I recommend Vanquish. It’s a relentless, fast-paced game that will fill-up your adrenaline to the maximum level with its intensive gameplay. Combine Bayonetta with Gears of War, and you will have something that resembles Vanquish, a fast-moving, cover-based shooter with some QTEs. From the third-person perspective, you control Sam Gideon, a guy augmented with a cool battle suit that’s powered by a portable reactor. It gives him post-human capabilities and grants us a stupendous warfare experience with its boosted slide and slow-motion mechanism.

At first blush, Vanquish is another third person cover-based shooter. But if you’re familiar with those deranged perverts over at Platinum Games, you should be instantly suspicious. This is a studio who is concerned primarily with making new IPs with new gameplay paradigms, and Vanquish is no exception.

Many reviewers have already discussed the general premise of the game, so I will spare you those details except to remind you that Vanquish is about Big Boss fighting robots in space using a rocket-powered mecha suit; he shoots, he slides on the floor like an idiot, he slows down time. Instead, I want to address the core philosophy behind this game (as I see it) and explain why I find it fun.

Grapple Hoops

Grapple Hoops

This game is pretty cool.

Grappling Hoops plays like a Spider-Man NBA Jam, where you swing around with a grappling hook and use a basketball to score hoops / dunks and take out enemies.

This gameplay feels very fun and energetic and really emphasizes speed and precision.

Unfortunately a good number of levels are rather boxed-in to really grapple around quickly, that’s doesn’t make them bad levels, but they don’t play to the main mechanic of the game making them a bit out of place.

That said, I believe there will be enough levels with variety to satisfy all the game-play styles that the game offers.

Real player with 15.6 hrs in game

I love this game. There are a few bugs and problems, which is to be expected with a game that has released today. Andrew nailed the combat and mechanics down, all though some of the story mode levels don’t fit the game(Their very small and cluttered, allows them to be prettier but you get stuck on small little props) I think with levels more like the floor is lava, and the original demo ones the game will be perfect. Bosses are really cool, all though I expected that I would have to perfectly dodge the hammer, and then dunk on it, instead of throwing a basket ball at it which can hit it anywhere. The mech enemy I was able to cheese by constantly grapple kicking, and tossing the basket ball. The droid boss however was really fun. It allowed me to pick up great speeds, and it was super fun dodging the bullets. Going to graphics this game is beautiful. I love the cartoon/toon shader. It looks great. I will end my review here, and my rating is 8/10.

TimeShift™

TimeShift™

Roughly ten to eleven years ago, TimeShift was finally launched on the seventh generation of consoles and Windows PC. The game was originally a title of the classic Xbox, but eventually was delayed and appeared later for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. TimeShift is part of a small group of games that back when new systems were popular, they tried to introduce something new to the table in terms of technology, and not just graphics. TimeShift delivered just that, a unique first-person-shooter experience where players have the ability to manipulate time, slowing it down, stoping, or even rewinding it completely.

Project Cybertronic

Hello, welcome to Project Cybertronic.

Project Cybertronic is a zero gravity video game as a massive online battle arena. Fly in space with your jetpack and use all sorts of surfaces to walk on with magnetic boots, using flashy maneuvers to capture the surprise moment to use your opponents or trickle out their attacks. Infiltrate gigantic battleships and stations from within and find their weaknesses. Use tactical Items in the right moment to give you an advantage. Join the Earth Alliance and learn fighting in weightlessness to become the best in a Last Man Standing Arena. Play with your friends privately or public via Internet or Local Network.

It is highly motivating that people like you are interested in us and that gives us the power to realize Cybertronic.

Note:

This current game version is from a no-budget project development. We currently do not have a running online server, but you can create your own and wait until a player enters your match. For the Match Making we use a free Unity Unet account in which 1-3 Players can play without abort. If there are more players in a match, a connection lost could be happen till playing. You will be suddenly return to the main menu. For more players we recommend to make a manuel connection. If you have problems entering a game, restart the application completely and navigate directly to the desired game mode (without detours).

Nevertheless, we wish you a lot of fun and hope for your support to make Cybertronic to a complete game.

Tick Tock Bang Bang

Tick Tock Bang Bang

While the game is not horrible, it’s not that great either.

You do get some levels to try out, which is mostly the main part of the game.

A little less cleaner than their “Drunken Robot Pornography” game?

While what they created could be great, and see where the game shines the most at.

It also feels so thrown together from their other title and is NOT worth it by any means for the FPS experience.

It’s more about a challenge or puzzle with sometimes little to no wiggle room for completion (by design?).

Real player with 26.7 hrs in game

Not good if you’re looking for anything but a shoddily-made SUPERHOT clone.

I thought this would build further on Drunken Robot Pornography since it’s a mod of it, but it’s hands-down worse.

Sure, more things were added, but even making your own levels you can’t use this game as a superior version of DRP for the following reasons:

-Time distortion is not optional.

-You’re stuck with the new gun, though it wouldn’t be so bad without time distortion.

-Instant death not optional, it was hardcoded into this game even though it’s optional in the arena editor; what I don’t understand is why instant death was added in the same way jetpack was removed, by having it ticked by default in the arena editor.

Very fun and intuitive. I tend to like bullet-hell games like this where you fight until you die, upgrade, and then repeat. I ended up getting nearly every upgrade before I was done.

Control your spaceship with your hand and weave in and out of bullet hell barrages in 3d VR space! Plenty of upgrades to work towards on multiple ships to choose from each with strengths and weakness.
