Rogue Trooper Redux
Introduction
This should have been a smooth ride. A literal blue milk run, if you’ll indulge my Star Wars pun for another Sci-Fi scenario which proved to be more complex than its originally envisioned draft. Things rarely unfold according to plan, aren’t they? I never expected that one day I’ll stumble across a video game which refuses to render any sound assets at all. And trust me, I have lost count of how many titles I have played on PC since 1999. Until Rogue Trooper Redux (RTR), no other game showcased such a silent and underwhelming affair for me, during a period in which I have used three desktop systems and two laptops before settling for my current gaming rig.

“Rogue Trooper Redux” isn’t all that BAD a game. It’s mostly OK, though it does have problems:
-
There’s no way to control the Voice volume. No matter how much I reduced the Music or Sound Effect volume, I never could hear the actual voices (which is pretty bad since that’s how you get your objectives).
-
Movement is pretty clunky. You can either crouch walk or walk normally (i.e., it’s slow). There is a jump function, but it really isn’t very useful.
-
Weapon handling is definitely clunky. Reloading takes place when the game feels like it and takes quite a long time. Aiming has an excess of wobble. Using a grenade is so awkward that you avoid using them. Some of the weapons seem to use the same representation (so you can’t tell what weapon you’re actually using). The weapon-swap animations are so slow as to be ridiculous.

Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2
Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2 is an action RPG with rogue-like elements that continues the story where Lovecraft’s Untold Stories left off, taking the characters to a new stage on their fight against the Unknown. Gather items or craft your own, explore old and new locations, solve puzzles and challenges, and defend yourself against dozens of different enemies, alone, or with the help of your friends, in the new Multiplayer mode.
A PAINTING FOR CRAZINESS
The Surrealist Artist Ardois-Bonnot presented his painting called Dream Landscape in the Paris Spring Salon of 1926. The moment the painting was uncovered, it caused a sudden riot among the public, and people screamed and ran all over the place. Soon after the exhibition, Ardois-Bonnot fell into a strange deep sleep from which no one could wake him up. Rumors abound that shortly before this attack of ‘sleeping sickness’, he was at the verge of completion of his greatest masterpiece which would change the world.
6 DIFFERENT CHARACTERS
This time, you will have access to 6 different playable characters, old and new, each one with a different playstyle. The Detective, the Witch, and the Professor from the first part, which continue their fight against the Great Old Ones, and the Medium, the Veteran, and the Alienist who join the group of adventurers.
CRAFTING EQUIPMENT

Monica e a Guarda dos Coelhos
I expected it to be on par with No Heroes Here but it’s not nearly as good. The biggest problem is that you can beat the levels (at least on normal) by just doing the same thing over and over. It becomes incredibly monotonous.
There are also no boss levels, which were some of the highlights of the original.
Let’s hope they eventually release a proper sequel.

RICO: London
Rico 2 is a sequel to the first Rico that not a lot of people played, but the ones who did, did mostly enjoy. The game for me was and still is pretty fun for what it is and i do recommend it, despite a few problems that it carries.
In terms of story, it’s just like the first game (which means: SKIP). I like the art style, i think that real XIII style graphics (Cell shaded) are not used enough and i find it charming in this game, which also has a bigger verity of environments and a bigger attention to detail. sound design is nothing special, does what it needs to but nothing memorable.

RICO 2: London has an amazing art style, a classic rogue cop premise and good voice acting. All of that is weighed down to its death by a boring loop system, the same soundtrack played over and over and over again, a needlessly complicated weapon system and enemies who are laughably bullet spongey for zero reason.
Don’t buy this game.

Dad’s Coming
After a whole afternoon at home with your sibling, the kitchen’s a mess, your room’s in disarray, you haven’t hung the laundry: a normal day. SUDDENLY… you see on that phone notification that your dad will be coming home early - you hear the garage screeching and opening and… RUN!! DAD’S COMING!!
Meet Bob, the goofy brother who’s scared and clumsy because he can’t contain the anxiety of thinking about the horrible consequences of his actions - not playing video games for the rest of the night. It’s chilling!
Kate, on the other hand, was born for this. It’s been years of intensive training of putting everything away and pretending she’s asleep while her mother’s on the way from the hallway to her bedroom, never once being discovered! And this time’s not going to be different.
To be able to clean up this mess and pretend that nothing happened you will need to:
-
Cooperate by throwing items between rooms until you place them in their respective places
-
Be careful not to break windows or fragile items like grandma’s urn - your mom won’t be too happy if your grandma breaks twice!
-
Keep an eye on Jack, the siblings’ cat! He is always messing around and knocking things over.
-
Use the means in each house to be even quicker, such as service elevators!
-
Watch out for blackouts when it’s raining! Sometimes you will have to reactivate the circuit breaker!
-
And much more!
LEGO® Batman™: The Videogame
Literally a masterpiece. Played the hell out of it on playstation 2. i love going through the story as batman and robin for it to switch at the midway point and do everything again but from the villains POV. Love it. the game will always have a special place.
BUT the PC port is laughable, heaps of gamebreaking bugs and you have to play with VSync on as it effects jumping.
The soundtrack is godtier and it never fails to give me goosebumps.

Warp Drive
I just had a go at the game. As much the design/models slightly lacks polish, the colors within the shaders gives off so vibrantly. Gameplay wise is like your average Asphalt game however I feel the drifting needs a slight tweak and the original concept that they’ve brought to the table is the teleportation mechanic. How it works it’s by approaching a glowing orb and pressing the A button (Gamepad) allows the player to teleport to an area where its located or grabbing a crystal (used for boosting pressing X) and pressing A to take the lead of the nearest opponent. All in all, the game is fun and worth a buy.

Warp Drive is an all around good game. It has somewhat simple mechanics and is like a kart racer but I like that the pick ups aren’t random and it lets you actually plan how you’re going to use them. The upgrade system is straightforward and simple, but it’s cool how the different parts are actually shown on your craft. Aside from these things, the game has a pretty unique style, splitscreen options, and a KILLER soundtrack.
Some fortnite skin packs cost more than this game, so there’s really no complaints from me.

Ecila
Edited from original post where I said I loved this mmo.. it pains me that I have to change my review for this mmo but the devs are quieter than a mute and don’t answer nothing in forums and NO communication WHAT SO EVER!
SO! I now HATE this mmo, it’s awful… so much wrong with it, shyte jumping controls, auto AI response is a joke, dying in dungeons and being forced right back to the beginning where you have to collect all door keys again is a TROLLING JOKE! Bosses are so OP you cant even beat them with maxed out gear cos they ALL can one-shot death you, Fighting the boss.. get 1 or 2 adds on you and you might as well give up cos it’s a SURE death, which happens 90% of the time cos boss rooms are flooded with monsters along with the boss. Stats on gear don’t seem to do frak all, at lvl 30 with top end gear I was still only hitting into double digits, around 50-70 odd and criting for around 100-120 as a sword and shield user. SO glad I didnt sink money into this game at this stage, if things improve then I might return but as of now i’m not even gonna bother continuing.. shame really.

This game is adorable and excels at being fun. It is a little confusing at first. There seems to be a rock/paper/scissors element to combat. Which isn’t terrible, but might take some getting use to for some people. I don’t think a lot of people will end up enjoying this game (or play it in general). But it really grows on you as you play it.
I like the oddball nature of the Alice and Wonderland theme too. It is just a quirky element you don’t see too often. In a way it is a cozy game…just in a strange way.

Bought this game tonight and immediately played though it. My friend and I are huge fans of the “We were here” games and have struggled to find similar ones after playing though the first two. We tried “Tic Tok” and a few coop platformer but nothing could really match up to “We were here”. Until now at least.
“Mark & Lara” is an amazing coop game. You don’t need the internet, just the game and you are set for about 2,5 hours of fun. That’s about how much time it took us to play though it once and we will again soon in order to experience the story out of both character’s perspectives. So for 4 bucks you have ~5 hours of playtime, which is solid imo. The story itself is amazing and really pulled us in. It really feels like investigating and we really enjoyed it. The game consists of talking to one of the two suspects, “official” documents and documentations of conversations. You have to really concentrate and look for the details and compare what the two suspects say in order to find the solution. Teamwork is necessary. The story was surprising in quite a few points and it was refreshing to not have a standart “why I killed him” plot but something more complex. We developed a good amount of theories of what could have happened and none of them turned out to be the correct one in the end.
