Kingpin Royale
Not gonna give it a Negative. But i could. Fun for a bit. Really fun if you just love winning simplton games. No real depth. Not hard to dominate at all. Confusing to start once over the curve you will win easily everytime. Wont play again unless it is updated or multiplayer. Worth 8$, ONLY if you like the sound of my review.

Lots of fun, once you get to know AI gets a little easy.
Would be awesome if Multiplayer was added!!!
I also drank at least two too many while playing.

Yakuza 0
Hello friends,
Today i will review the game Yakuza 0. This is the first in the series of yakuza games, but not the first one made for the series. This is basically the game that lets you understand the rest of the series. Note: If any of this info is wrong, please tell me in the comments in my review and ill change it immedietly..thank you. Anyways, this game follows two characters that are part of the yakuza, or trying to join the yakuza. Withought spoiling too much, the game follows the two characters thru many adventures in the game. Also, there is alot of side content. The time associated with my playing is because of the side stuff. You might just like the side stuff in the game and ignore the main story for awhile. It is quite addictive to just do the side things and ignore the main story. Anyways, some of the side stuff is actually pretty hard too. So here is my pro/con list:

I’ve had so much fun with this one.
Way too many unforgettable moments and characters.
The side quests and mini games are so entertaining that sometimes I stop for a while and remember I’ve got a main story to complete. Even still, the main story is sensational.
You get to also play as two of the most chad protagonists in gaming history, why wouldn’t you wanna do that?
9/10

Mafia III: Definitive Edition
After 3 playthroughs, I decided it’s time to give this game a review. a different one from the majority of “Not Recommended” you see here. Mafia III Is deeply flawed and after the Definitive Edition upgrade, it yet remains the same but it had something special that kept me playing it for such a long time, I simply couldn’t leave a thumb down on it.
Story
🔹Mafia III tells the tale of Lincoln Clay, a colored man who got screwed by the greed of the Italian mob ruling the fictional New Bordeaux based on New Orleans. He loses his family and father figure and now he’s out for revenge. However, this is not your average vengeance story that ends just with killing the bad guy. Lincoln wants to take everything Sal Marcano the mob boss has worked for, makes him suffer just the way he did by busting up his rackets, taking over the city district by district and killing closest to Sal including his wife, son, and brothers. Throughout the game, after each main mission completed comes up a cutscene where the people who knew Lincoln the most are participating in a documentary show on his life and actions, picturing real-life photos and videos. This is where is the story shines the most as you realize piece by piece on Lincoln’s background and the damage he inflicted on the mob.

After putting in 85 hours into this game, I think I finally have a pretty good idea why I like it and why I hate it at the same time.
TL;DR: Great story and themes, horrible game design with repetitive gameplay, bad graphics and horrible bugs and performance.
Mafia 3 is a massive great tasting shit sandwich! It deserves the hate, yet it’s hard not to love at times. The solid writing and great characters with really good voice acting and pretty good facial animations, accompanied with great shooting mechanics and some improvements over the last game are spoiled by remarkably repetitive game design and the usual “open world” clutter of useless collectibles.

The Detail
Think of it as a low grade interactive comic spinoff from the TV show “The wire”.
A sort of choose-your-own-adventure graphic novel. Split across 3 chapters you get to play as several different characters as their stories intertwine at different points. The presentation is pretty well done for the budget and while the game does involve a fair amount of reading, the writing overall is high enough to keep your interest. At times you will groan with some of the generic bad guy lines that are used, but it’s not a deal breaker. There’s no voice overs but that’s probably a good thing considering the game has plenty of different ethnic characters and it most likely would have sounded corny.

Interesting little game, though it isn’t all that challenging nor is it terribley exciting. What keeps it moving along is the many story lines, some of which can change in an instant, and the interesting characters, some that you control and some you don’t.
You control 4 different characters throughout the graphic novel, mainly a detective and a confidential informant, but also 2 othere detectives. You get some back story on everyone, and the game moves at a pretty brisk pace. Choices made in each of the 3 chapters can have an effect on subsequent chapters, and as to wether you will get an achievement or not. Each character seems to have something traumatic that happened in there past and you really get interested in the characters and their stories.

HEIST
This is a great stealth puzzle game. The art, the sounds and the music all give the game a great mood.
There are so many ways to do better in each level giving you excellent replayability. The multiple paths through a level combined with checkpoints mean that you can always crawl your way through a more difficult level to get to the finish, but that leaves you room to come back and find a new way to get through the level even faster.
HEIST is easily in my top 10 favourite indie games of all time.

So most of the reviews on this game are like 3 years old, so a slightly more recent one, game is brilliant. gameplay is a lil iffy at times but if you love stereotypical noir shit this game is brilliant for it and it has probably the best soundtrack I’ve heard on a video game. idk if its worth the money but defo worth the play. 10/10.

Loud or Quiet
Loud || Quiet tries to combine Hotline Miami and Payday, but because a lot of the mechanics from Payday don’t work so well in a single player experience, it ends up playing like Metal Gear Miami, except you don’t have Snake’s gear (not even a cardboard box) or Jacket’s brutal melee, which makes going loud or quiet a huge pain in the ass. While being able to buy weapons is nice, I would much rather have to pick them up from the enemy instead of having to search for an ammo box.
A noble attempt but as is kinda frustrating.

Good value for money, like hotline Miami but abit more forgiving. It’s a simplistic top down shooter an extremely varied soundtrack then look no further. Was a bit confused with the controls and what to do to begin with but once I got the hang of it was alright. But you need to make it clearer that the computer in the apartment is used to start missions.

Mafia II (Classic)
Mafia II is one of the best organized crime games, especially if we take realistic games with organized crime as the main theme. It’s also one of the best third-person shooter, and aged very well, even a decade later, it still feels as good as back in 2010.
Story
You play as sicilian immigrant, Vito Scaletta, whose family traveled to the USA looking for a better life, but reality turned out to be more grim and harsh than Vito’s parents imagined. Seeing how his father lives a miserable life and became a drunkard due to his hard job and poverty, Vito decided to not repeat his mistakes. His father eventually dies during the accident at the docks. He met Joe, a local bully and a cool guy, and eventually, due to lack of jobs and poverty, the two decided to become a small time criminals, thieves, essentially, during one such operation, Vito got caught, and between going to prison or helping USA with the invasion of Sicily, as a native italian speaker, he decided to go to war. And that’s only the beginning of his life path.

“I BECAME A CRIMINAL BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO BECOME A VICTIM”
Welcome to Empire Bay. Sunny place full of opportunities for those who can take them. Yes, I’m talking to you Vito & Joe. Yes, you too Mr. Vinci. I see you over there Alberto Clemente. Yeah, that’s right Carlo Falcone. I can keep on naming these fellas over and over again because this game was filled with gentlemen like these.
Vito Scalleta got tired of bureaucratic bullsh*t so he got shot right in the butt, that he could leave Europe and go straight back to Joe, so these two can put in the work, get up in the Mafia hierarchy, sky rocketing up in the mob family ladder so he can get what they all want - THAT GREEN THING.

Mafia
Oh boy where do I even start, “Mafia” is an old classic, a very underrated game by today’s standards. I remember playing this game when i was in grade school, much later in 2011 I bought this game on Steam too and I have never actually wrote a review for this game.
Reading through other reviews by people, the media and even newer “retro” reviews I was glad that people do still remember this great game even after more than 16 years since it was released. On the other hand I was annoyed a bit that people still try to compare “Mafia” to the “Grand Theft Auto” series which just blows my mind, this game isn’t GTA and it was never meant to be a “GTA” game. Just because there is a semi-open world with a bit of driving involved, a character that you control in 3rd person doesn’t mean it’s automatically a “GTA” clone.

Nothing to complain about Mafia, this is objectively a masterpiece that came out in 2002. The game tells the story about a Taxi Driver, Tommy Angelo. Tommy, while working at night in the 1930s, stumbled across 2 gangsters from the Salieri’s Family. Since that night, his life changed entirely.
Sound and Music:
While playing Mafia, the player will completely dive in the atmosphere of the game: perfect sound and music experience (I’ll talk more technically about sounds and music later in this review). I highly recommend playing the game with Stereo Headphones. Just as an example, during the “A Trip To The Country” mission, that thunderstorm effect really makes you feel like you’re in the game during the whole chapter.

The Swindle
Unfortunately, despite the absolutely wonderful art, music, style and overall concept, just as many people have reported, loose controls literally spoil an otherwise wonderful game.
As a gamer who loves stealth and loves difficult, but fair games, this one is nothing but frustrating.
It is not a matter of artificial difficulty, the levels, mechanics, enemies, and hazards are all generally fair and reasonable in and of themselves. I have no problem with, and even enjoy a game where you will fail a lot as you learn, knowing it is your fault you failed, or even knowing that the game is designed to make you fail if you don’t do things right…

This is honestly an amazing game with enough style and design choices to give you an experience you can’t quite get anywhere else, however it has a few very big caveats. Starting with the good, the scope is perfect, I didn’t feel like it dragged on or that I needed more out of it, and the pacing is very good. Finale acts as a good test of pretty much everything you’ve learned through your various successes and deaths. I’m more a fan of roguelikes than roguelites, but this game strikes such a cool balance between the two; I wasn’t sure how much of a gimmick the 100 day mechanic would be but it honestly does an amazing job at getting the best of both worlds. The upgrades are all significant enough for you to care about. I normally dislike tweened animation but this game’s style fits it very nicely, visually the game is quite charming. The soundtrack is also really good, I wouldn’t listen to it outside the game but it gets me way more invested while playing, especially the theme when you’re caught. Honestly, there’s not too many exceptionally notable things I could say, but most aspects of the game in general are very solid, it’s quite a fun, charming, and worthwhile experience. As a very loose comparison to give a sense of how the game is, imagine a cross between Mark of the Ninja’s stealth, and Spelunky’s game feel and world gen type.
