Beyond Good and Evil™
About The Game
Beyond Good & Evil, published by Ubisoft in 2003. Where do I start with this game? First off, I want to say that this is a good PC port. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. I will explain why later. What’s the premise to this game? You play as Jade, a reporter who lives with her pig-uncle Pey’j, taking care of orphans on your lighthouse reservation. In this planet called Hillys, Hillyans fight for survival as evil DomZ, alien-like creatures, take over the planet. A combat force called the Alpha Sections has been sent to fight back the DomZ, but when the Alpha Sections fail to show up during attacks, a suspicious Jade goes undercover for a resistance force called IRIS to see what the Alpha Sections are really up to. Camera in hand, you participate in various undercover missions to expose the Alpha Sections for who they really are.

Beyond good and evil - это классическое игровое приключение, сделанное с душой, во времена когда у юбисофта еще была душа… Я играл в beyond good and evil в 2021 году впервые, и ей все равно удалось очаровать меня до глубины души. Хотя, как и со всеми старыми играми, над ней пришлось поколдовать, прежде чем запустить ее в нормальном разрешении и фпсе, все же по сравнению с многими играми это было довольно легко. (не слушайте тех, кто что-то пишет про порты и подобные глупости, это вам не инсёрдженси)

N.I.C.E. 2
Alright, so first let’s talk about this Steam version.
It launched a few days ago, and it was a big disappointement. I was really hyped when I found the game was going to be on Steam because I thought everything would be fixed. Well, It wasn’t the case.
The DirectX crash was still there, the overall instability of the game too, no music, and most importantly, the playtime was broken so you couldn’t write a review. (No Steam Multiplayer support but while it’s a bit of a let down it wasn’t as important as having a functional product.)

Legend of Kay Anniversary
I among many other people who bought this played this as a kid but by no means is this game only fun because of nostalgic value. These sort of kid like platforming games is what pc honestly needs.
-
Great graphical update from the original
-
Combat is great among most hack & slash games, its pretty solid on all levels
-
Platforming is fun and brings you back to when platformers weren’t only 2d indie hardcore platformers
-
The sound is a huge bump up in quality, although I did experience a few very minor odd sound placements but I won’t detract any points from it

The Wonderful 101: Remastered
I’ve been playing this game for YEARS back when it released on the Wii U. I never thought in a million years that The Wonderful 101 would have an official PC release. And yet here we are. So how does it hold up?
Maybe I’m being biased here but I genuinely believe this is PlatinumGames and Hideki Kamiya’s magnum opus. The combat system is extremely intricate and complex but damn does it feel satisfying to master. This is NOT a cutesey wootsey Pikmin-style adventure game. This is very much an action game that ranks up there with games such as Devil May Cry and Bayonetta (2 other games Hideki Kamiya is responsible for. Go figure.). This is a game that does NOT hold your hand whatsoever nor does it do any spoonfeeding. You’re gonna get punished. You’re gonna get destroyed. You’re gonna get nothing but consolation prizes along the way. You’re probably also gonna get frustrated with the weapon switching gimmick and say the controls are bad and that it should’ve stayed on the Wii U where it belongs.

At first this game can seem very inaccessible due to its abnormal controls and original home on the Wii U. Hopefully this review will clear up some misconceptions as well as highlight, in short, what makes this game so incredible.
TLDR: PLAY THE DEMO, it will give you a basic feel for the gameplay as well as a showcase of the game’s spectacle. Any fan of Bayonetta, DMC and the likes should play this game right now. This game is incredible and my favourite of all time. The controls are responsive (when played with a controller) and the combat is incredibly mechanically deep, combined with an immense level of spectacle through its 20 hr story. It is just Wonderful.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
I’ve been eagerly awaiting Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy since it was announced for re-release on the PC by THQ Nordic, it looks and feels just like I remember, however, on a 1440p monitor, the GUI elements are extremely small. It’s good that they don’t stretch unnaturally, but the subtitles and button display are quite small and currently have no options to increase them. Developer Swyter has confirmed on the Community Hub that this will be fixed. I’ve only experienced one minor freeze so far, but I think this happened when my Xbox Controller suddenly became disconnected from the computer.

Well this has been a long time coming. This game brings back so many childhood memories. My biggest question is WHERE IS THE 2ND GAME!!! A second game needs to be made. Alright enough ranting for part 2 let’s get into the review.
Let’s start with the pros:
-
Beautiful graphics
-
Very solid story line
-
Simple and easy controls
-
Not too difficult (Gameplay wise)
-
Excellent music
-
Very fun overall
Now for the cons
-
Very short (Completed it in almost less then 12 hours)
-
Very little to no voice acting

Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™
If you like the Indiana Jones series and wish to see everything that are related to his numerous adventures Worldwide, this is one of the stones that you have to tread on. I have played and finished the 2003 Lucas Arts game Emperor’s Tomb before and did not hesitate to buy this 1992 game in year 2016, once i heard that it has completely unique set of events which were not replicated in any Indy film/game before or after. I wanted to finish the game by not reading any of hints or tips from a walkthrough guide -and i succeeded-, because adventuring through the untold dullness of life is THE INHERENT core of Indy adventures. This game gives that unique feeling of being an Indiana Jones even with 1992 graphics and sounds. Because, the feeling of playing Dr. Jones does not rely on eye-candy graphics, but lies with finding whatever way to wrestle through life even if it goes somewhere that was not intended initially.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap
Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap was originally made for the Sega Master System and ported to the Game Gear and Turbo Grafx-16. It involved the main character, Wonder Boy, fresh from his last adventure getting cursed by a dragon’s curse and then roaming the land to try to fix that curse.
It also was a fantastic game that rivaled entries like Metroid and allowed players to return to areas they had been in before to find new rooms with abilities earned over time. It was essentially a predecessor to what would be known as a Metroidvania.

This is how people make an HD Remake of a old game. No crappy graphics, no 90’s radio quality music.
This game is awesome! I guess the saga is one of the first Metroidvania games to exist, playing it feels a bit like playing a platformer Zelda game, but without puzzles to waste your time, you can explore, fight monsters, challenge bosses, aswell as look for secrets. Why didn’t I met this game before? Where have this been all my life? (Probably it’s Monica’s fault…)
This game doesn’t force you to grind so you can buy equipment, or at least not that much, some equipments you need to go killing monsters so you be able to buy them, but still, the game doesn’t make you waste hours killing the same monster for coins to buy your equipment (unless you want to get a certain equipment that is supposed to be acquired way later in the game).

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD
One of my favorite games of all time. An incredible amount of love and thought went into this, and it’s immediately apparent. The originality, humor, gameplay, and meaningful undertones all come together to form an unforgettable experience.
This game is simply… fun(ny). You can listen in on the hilarious dialogue of any character, laugh at the attention-whore chipmunk farting on your crossbow and being “allergic to your ugliness”, lose yourself in Michael Bross' amazing soundtrack, appreciate the truly unique design and setting, punch complacent chickens in the face and steal their money, notice the parallels between harmonious peoples being subverted by industrialism and a people out of allignment with nature; the list goes on.

Originally released for the Microsoft Xbox in 2005, Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath was developer Oddworld Inhabitants' attempt to move away from their platforming roots and into the popular genre of first-person shooter video games.
They still maintained a bit of platforming, however, which is why you can also play this game from a third-person perspective when that is required. And more importantly the signature art style and atmosphere of the previous Oddworld games are still very much what sets Stranger’s Wrath apart.

Okami HD
I wish I’d played this when it came out
– Real player with 44.2 hrs in game
A beautiful adventure game with “retro” design sensibilities that must be experienced at least once in a lifetime.
A classic tale of an epic, heroic journey to defeat a powerful evil being, paired with a huge and fantastically crafted world to explore. Presentation is definitely this game’s strength, to the point it can sometimes become overwhelming. A few things I didn’t like was that the game draws out for too long on some parts of the story and because of this, the combat can become tiresome due to it not being used to the fullest. Port itself is excellent and while 60 fps would have been amazing, the 30fps cap is understandable and doesn’t get in the way.
