Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 - The Crystal Menhir
It’s a very good and fun game for coop for two kids or a parent and a kid. Even though the coop experience is diminished by poorly thought way of handling camera when the two heroes are far apart .
So:
-
- great graphics,
-
- great sound ,
-
- great level design , alternating between quests, puzzles , fights
-
- good dialogues ,
-
- good story,
-
- dogmatix is adorable and fierce!! ,
-
- fun fights with many options
-
- Fakeusnewus , Econimicrasious and other funny characters

I have been a huge fan of Asterix since my childhood. Played XXL 1 many many times and 2 sporadically and loved them very much.
This game is a disgrace to Asterix (XXL). The developers didn’t attempt to make a 3D game like the other two games have been and made some random “mobile top down” game for the quick cash grab. The menu interface is even ripped off straight out of the XXL 2 remaster. No effort put into it in any way.
The game looks nice, going for the collectibles is very fun and bringing back a specific Roman from the very first Asterix comic (and animated movie) is a great touch. I think that is about all covering the positives of this game.

Ryse: Son of Rome
fun game that holds up today even though it was just a “tech demo” when release. decent story, solid graphics, and mediocre gameplay. plays like a simpler version of the batman arkham series. the only downside is that campaign is very short (4-6hrs) and the combat is repetitive. still, worth checking out since it plays like an extended action movie.

Contrary to what the game’s title might leave you believing, the protag’s name is not actually Ryse, but it’s actually Marius. Some characters do tell him to rise from time to time when he’s being a lazy slacker falling asleep in the middle of a war, and the subtitles use an i instead of a y, but that’s just semantics. I’d also consider the “Son of Rome” part to be a little inaccurate since a city can’t conceive people. Although people can be conceived inside cities, and Marius’s daddy-o, Leontius sure laid down the pipe on his wife Septima. And we have confirmation that he did so at least twice since Marius has a sister! I might be going a little off track here, so let’s get down to the game itself.

TLDR: CHECK OUT my 2021 VIDEO REVIEW of Rome II right here: https://youtu.be/qi6DNAHwIK0
FINALLY reviewing this game after almost 900 hours and over 8 years of playing. If you’re willing to pay for it, especially on sale for cheap, there is a ton of content here, likely making Rome 2 the biggest historical Total War experience out there. It definitely lacks depth in certain areas, depth its successor, Attila did a lot better. But despite its faults, Rome 2 is leagues better than it was at launch, and has honestly become a really strong Total War game in its own right.

Story of a Gladiator
Story of a Gladiator is a small arena beat ‘em-up game in which we try to avoid getting a bloody nose.
The story is told quite quickly: Our family and friends are killed by the Romans and we manage to escape so that we do not end up in slavery… or worse. Finally, we spend the day with fighting and drinking alcohol in the company of shady ladies - until one day we meet a famous gladiator who gives us some advice on how to become a great champion ourselves. And so our first fight of many begins in the arena…

The game is very fun and interesting, we definitely need more Gladiator games as there hasn’t been any good one’s in modern times, it’s very sad that such genre is not being looked into by developers and game studios. Ryse of Rome had gladiator mode, but it’s not like Gladiator Begins/Road to Colosseum. I am glad this game came out, and hopefully people show interest in this game, so we can get more of this genre.
As for the game
The game is very fun and actually very hard, my only issue with it is the lack of story and in depth customization, the game feels very limited in that aspect, it’s not even as good in terms of depth as sword and sandals to be honest. The graphics are amazing, the armour looks very nice, I just wish there was more depth to fight styles, weapon, character customization, story arc, training and maybe companions and such in fights. There is a lot the game can do, I played all the levels and have 3 stars in all of them, took me 9hrs total play time

Total War: ATTILA
Attila is, in my opinion, the best Total War.
A lot of people complain about optimization issues, I’m not saying they’re lying, but I don’t have these issues so it’s not impossible to run the game properly.
What Attila does GREAT is giving you very different campaign experiences: you can pick from massive empires under pressure, small tribes with one settlement, small hordes that have to flee from the Huns and try to conquer some land and settle down, or as a massive horde that will grow, loot and pillage.

Disclaimer:
Please note that this review, as with all reviews, is heavily influenced by personal opinion. I am in no way attacking you should you love the game, I just want to let others know the good AND the bad of this game before they purchase it. And if they like some of the things that I have listed in the bad? Then it’s all good, at least they are informed.
tl;dr - Great launch, graphically pleasing, better AI response from units. Badly designed Horde mode, Limited choice of factions that all boil down to three types that generally look the same, jacked diplomacy system, all the illegitimate children of the world come from one of your general’s loins, campaign AI are all led by the Joker. They just want to watch the world burn.

Shield Impact
maybe some more gamemodes would be nice. Like a mission gamemode (kill 10 enemies in 15 seconds for example), or a gamemode were you play as the enemy would be super cool.
But it’s a nice little game
7.3/10

The player character goes invisible after first game played and there is no actual bots, hardly even any pattern to compete with or gameplay. It needs to be fixed..
I did not refund it, as the original idea is kind of great.. !
Shields are always underestimated. But that underestimation only returns stronger with this game.
Not only the game craps out and it is the gamebreaking bug where the character disappears every retry.
It is a try and retry centered game. Not really worth anything like this. Could been really great but always forget to retry.
