Binary Domain

Binary Domain

Binary Domain was yet another part of a (free) bundle given away by SEGA, featuring mediocre games mainly. When I started playing it, I was expecting an average shooter (the reviews didn’t provide much clue). What I got was an absolutely positive surprise in all aspects. But I’m not explaining this fact that I liked this game so much with the element of surprise: I wish every overhyped AAA game could provide as much fun as Binary Domain did. It has everything a good game needs: a thrilling story, excellent characters and funny (!) dialogues, choices & consequences and of course great combat with fluid controls. This is one of those games that would require a sequel, but apparently won’t get one, since the game never received the proper amount of praise and appreciation it should have deserved.

In 2080, due to climate changes, the world faced the large flood ever existed, and in search for cheap, reliable labor, the humanity turned to robots, in hope for a better future. To lead this revolution is Bergen, a US-based company, responsible for manufacturing robots for all over the world. But Bergen is not the only one in the business. Amada, a Japanse company, sued Bergen for stealing their technology. Bergen won, much because of its influence… They do manufacture over 90% of world robots, and this made the USA more powerful than ever!

Slave Zero

Slave Zero

Slave Zero is a Underrated Third-Person Shooter.

I’ve decided to rewrite this review because my old one was kind of crap but also it’s this game’s 20th Anniversary which is actually “October 31st, 1999”, and also I love this game.

Slave Zero is Fu*king Awesome, an example of an Underrated Classic that needs to be Revived or Remastered. In this game you play as a giant robot called Slave Zero, smashing up cars, buildings, and destroying other robots. This is one of the first games that has came up with this concept and it still works great today.

It is hard for me to write about this game since I undoubtedly view it through nostalgia goggles, but I believe it still holds up quite well today. The game is very fun to play with great controls, a great variety of enemies, and beautifully designed futuristic areas.

I’ve noticed a lot of people comment on the story. The story is there purely for story’s sake — it is the glue that ties all the missions together. Don’t expect any intricate character development, or any sort of interaction among the characters whatsoever. Most of the exposition is presented at the very start of the game in the opening sequence and that’s that. The hero of the game, Ch’an, doesn’t communicate much with the rest of the cast - he merely executes Guardians' (the rebels) orders. This can be either good or bad depending on your preferences. If you’re the kind of player that likes to assume the role of the protagonist - then this is the game for you - but on the other hand, it is hard to have some clear idea in terms of what Ch’an is like. The intro states that “Ch’an must permanently merge with the Slave,” meaning he’s doomed to stay inside the robot for all eternity Neon Genesis Evangelion style. It would be interesting to read about his backstory, but the game is so fast paced and focused on bringing down Sovkhan that there’s never really any time to address that. It is only near the end of the game, during the final mission, when Sovkhan reveals (spoiler alert!) that he murdered Ch’an’s father which possibly explains Ch’an’s decision to permanently merge with the robot. Unfortunately, since the plot never really makes you feel invested in the characters, this grand revelation felt very underwhelming and anticlimatic. But you don’t play Slave Zero for the story! It is the fast-paced action packed gameplay, one of a kind atmosphere, amazingly intricate boss fights, and great atmospheric music that makes the game what it is. All in all, It is a great cyberpunk adventure that is still very fun to play now.

Hovership Havoc

This is quite a simple game but it’s well made and quite worth the cost. It’s very good if you want to play something for half an hour without becoming too involved in anything complex. The physics simulation is quite good enough and it’s easy to begin playing within a minute or two.

I’m hooked! This is a great twin stick shooter game with a nice challenge element. Tons of ship secondary weapons keep each play through fresh, and the permanent ship upgrades keep you trying to bulk up your favorite ship! This game reminds me a lot of classic arcade games of the type, almost makes me want to go out and buy an arcade pad to play it!

The music in the game is also fantastic.

All around I would definitely recommend this game!

MDK 2

MDK 2

Three years after the release of the original MDK by Shiny Entertainment, the IP moved to developer Bioware, who threw out the run and gun gameplay of the first title in favour of a deeper action adventure approach.

The sequel changes the game mechanics in another major way by offering players the ability to hop between the three main characters of the series (Kurt Hectic, Max [formerly Bones], and Dr. Hawkins). The game is broken up into a series of stages that feature each main character doing something different. These are not optional stages either. Instead, the player controls each main character for a chunk of the level.

This was my first computer game I’ve ever played and it has aged extremely well. Don’t worry about not playing the first one, you can pick this game up and play it without any problem as the first game was MUCH more lax on the story side of things. This game is the definition of what it means to be a classic. As is often the case with Bioware games, the writing is fantastic with comedy being seamlessly interweaved with the high-paced action game that it is. The level designs do not lack for anything. They really make you think since every room is like its own puzzle. I remember when I was young, around 9 or 10, I would be stuck on some rooms for days before my tiny brain put together what I needed to do. This was an era before I was even aware I could google game walkthroughs, but I loved figuring everything out. The boss fights are epic, with each boss seeming like a more complex Legend of Zelda boss fight. Finally, what REALLY sets this game apart for me is the sheer amount of secrets in the game. This game is from a time when designers could throw in a secret room you accessed by stumbling across an invisible bridge over a never-ending pit or running towards a section of wall that seems slightly off-color from the rest. They reward you with items, health, or perhaps a joke room with a poorly photoshopped picture of the developers' faces over some cartoon characters. Either way, these secret rooms do not detract anything from the experience, and they’re a real treat to find. This is a game that does not hold your hand and try to steer you to progress. No, this game sits and waits for you to progress, expecting you to know what to do or to take as much time as you need to figure it out.

REVN

REVN

Absolutely phenomenal. Silas and his team have put their heart and soul into this game and it clearly shows. Revn seamlessly combines solid third-person shooter mechanics with traditional MOBA ability mechanics and RTS-style base-building. Tense firefights, tactical ability usage, and coordinating strategy among your team…there is something about this game that you simply cannot get anywhere else. There’s a reason it’s among my top games played. Highly recommend.

Real player with 116.5 hrs in game

In Revn, you decide kind of character you end up playing with.

Your abilities, your items, your gear, your weapons: you get to pick the ones you want from a wide selection.

Example: You want to go full-on Iron Man with a Jetpack, a Riot Shield, an Orbital Strike, armor for days, and an Assault Rifle that cuts through armor like it was paper? You can in Revn!

This is a third-person shooter, so you don’t need to worry about using careful mouse-clicks to move around. But, your aim is of great importance in a fight, since you can’t simply click on a dude to hit them with your attacks.

the perfect game to give a positive review so that it appears on all of your steam friends featured tab in the store so that when they go to the steam store their parents will walk in on them and give them a questionable look and then they have to explain that their friend on steam gave this game a positive review and then explain why they are friends with a degenerate. im going to start rambling about how good this game is without any proper grammar or spacing so brace your eyes because my god is this game good it runs better than any game i have ever played before it has more content in it more than your life the inventory system is stunningly unique and intriguing i probably spent half an hour studying the intricacies of the menu and i strongly believe that this system should be introduced to more modern day triple a titles dont even get me started on the gunplay because it is as smooth as my eyes after reading this for spelling mistakes not sure why i even think im going to bother reading this again but i must say that the map and level designers definitely deserve a raise because the map design is ice cream in 40 degrees C tier the enemies are super diverse and are a challenging addition to this already perfect title i cannot wait for a sequel this game should be on the steam store for a higher price definitely a hidden gem that deserves your attention because it was the most emotional experience i have ever had and i will never forget my time playing this

LIBERATED

LIBERATED

This review contains major spoilers. Be warned and proceed at your discretion.

LIBERATED is one of the games that you’re not meant to have fun with. It tells a dark story about dystopian future, where the government controls every aspect of human lives. Don’t purchase or gain enough via wire? Don’t post enough photos on social media? You’re under suspicion. Maybe you post an online comment doubting the current government? You’re asking to be arrested, discredited, pretty much erased.

There’s a group of people in that world. They call themselves The Liberated. Throughout the game they hunt for the proof that the government is corrupt, and ultimately, that it was behind the big terrorist attack on the school, which they needed to justify building this strict regime, where privacy is a crime.

Real player with 6.5 hrs in game

A digital interactive comic book set in a noir cyberpunk world of complete government control, eerily reminiscent and very close to the course our own blue ball of yarn is spinning into at the moment.

What excites about Liberated is the way it’s presented. Through a slick, black and white comic book, complete with textured panels, sounds of flipped pages and reflections. You even have the ability to tilt the view around the panels a bit. It’s a complete experience of reading a comic book. I can almost smell the paper. The art is wonderful (brings to mind Frank Miller’s Sin City, even a hint of Torpedo and some other noir comics) and the way the panels are framed really glues your eyes to a single panel, letting you linger on it as long as you want.
