Fallout 76
Bought this game on sale just over a month ago, i have around 420 hours played, it’s an enjoyable and infuriating game in equal parts, if you’ve played any fallout/elderscrolls games you know what to expect gameplay/bugs wise, it has enough random events to keeps things interesting although they do get repetitive eventually and some places have random things happening each time you go to them such as npcs chatting, random vendors, battles between different ai’s an so on which makes the game both enjoyable and a pain in the rear, especially if you are looking for a specific companion/power armor an such, leveling an skill tree can be abit confusing at first but once you get used to it the cards system isn’t too bad (legendary cards level ups are a joke)

Sucks at being a Fallout game.
Sucks at being a MMO.
They make it appear the game can be played without Fallout 1st but no. Not really. Not how to expect a fallout game to play. Imagine you had a workshop in your garage and you bought 10 2x4s to build something but even though you own that garage (the game) and paid money for it… you was told by the city you cannot store that wood in there, to throw out everything else in it just to store 10 pieces of wood. That would be your life playing FO76 if you tried to play without subscription, just 20x worse than i’m making it sound.

The Henchmen
The Game
The Henchmen is a pulp-inspired, 90s fueled top-down, action retro open-world game. Set in the fictional city of New Queens, The Henchmen blends classic PS1-era games experiences, such as Driver and the first Grand Theft Auto with a modern approach, producing a unique experience.
The game is also designed from the ground up to be a co-operative experience, as the game can be played both in single-player and local 2 players co-op (both shared screen and split-screen), with story elements and missions changing depending on the number of players.
The Story
During the late sixties, the Castellano Mafia family had complete control over the City of New Queens: They Controlled the guns, drugs, and sex workers that roamed the streets.
This started to change, however, as the Homura Yakuza Syndicate started to chip away at The Castellano empire in the late 1970.
Anthony, the new leader of the family, is forced to rely on his henchmen to get back what was his, starting a bloody gang war in the streets of New Queens.
The game is set in two time periods: In the 1970s you play as Rachel, a young single mother who wants to quit the gangster life for the sake of her daughter, while also being both Castellano’s best gun and lover.
In the 1990s, you deal with the aftermath of the gang wars, as you take control of Samuel, an ex-army man who left his job to help his brother Jamal who owes money to the wrong kind of people.
What we’re planning:
-8 to 10 hours long main campaign
-Entire game playable in both singleplayer and local two players co-op
-Original Soundtrack and cutscene artwork
-Explore the city in its two time periods: A snowy 1970s rendition and a hot, more modern 1990s version.
-Indoor and outdoor fights, with both melee weapons and firearms
If you are interested, please do wishlist us at it helps us a lot.

POSTAL 2
Postal 2 gives you the freedom to carry out seemingly simple tasks however you see fit. I recently had a task where I had to cash a check into the bank. Simple, right? Well the line for the bank teller was a bit too long and I wasn’t in the waiting mood, so I decided to take a shortcut by dumping cans of napalm all over the bank lobby and robbing the bank as it burned down.

There are a lot of side things you can do for a game about getting Gary Coleman’s autograph. Personally, my favorite thing was standing in line for Gary’s signature.

Metal as Phuk
This is not your typical RPG Maker “jrpg”, with your standard typecasted heroes. The characters have well written personalities and interactive dialogue that is just unseen on most “jrpg’s” (and that statement is not exclusive to rpg-maker games, I mean rpg’s in general). While the plot and the direction are somewhat linear, the pc’s are what make it gold. It’s like reading a really good book with fleshed out characters that say things that bring the game to life. I have rarely played rpg’s that actually have dialogue interaction with enemies and bosses throughout the battle itself, and the dialogue is not repetitive. It is rich and full of humor, sprinkled with jokes and funny innuendos throughout the entire game. Moreover, it abstains from the beaten path of stereotypical backgrounds and played out motivations. Pontius, one of the main characters, is not a stereotypical mage and almost sets the stage for what good things you can expect for the rest of the game.

RPG Maker - I start with this - most obvious and for me it usually keeps me a bay.
That would be the only negative.
Now let’s look at what is good in this game.
Story - not too complex, not too plain. Just enough to make player tied to the developing progress and expand the game beyond fight&survive.
Humor is sometimes for a bit more mature audience, but even kids would get it and is not bad at all. Dialogues between (later) four party members are pretty cool.
Combat - we all know RPG maker combat, and this one is best of breed (what RPG maker can offer). Not to bad, not to difficult, not too easy. Graphics - you can see on screenshots, I like it. Skills and Spells are well balanced and each next level each char gets new spell or ability.

The Hustle
The Hustle is an open-world board game where you can go anywhere - anywhere - to build your fortune from the bottom up.
-
Go Left, Go Right, Do Whatever - winners don’t respect board game conventions. Winners cut through the middle of the board and tell Candyland to shove it.
-
Meddle with Forces Beyond Your Ken - Every round, players vote to change one rule about the game. Adjust your strategy to succeed, or get left in the dust!
-
Don’t call it “Bribery!" - That’s the invisible hand of the free market shoving $100 into your jeans.
-
Ruin Real-Life Friendships - Cut the dead weight from your social group in classic board-game style!
-
Build a Legacy - Will you be remembered a Miser? A Titan of Industry? A Peasant? Every smart move is another scene in your Oscar-winning biopic, and every dumb move is another shovelful of dirt in your stupid, stupid, anonymous grave.
Family Man
UPDATE #3:
Finished my fourth (and final) playthrough in record time. It becomes incredibly easy to do once you know all the ins-and-outs of every mission and the best practices for home management. This Angelic run felt the most muddied as the game often demands some negative actions (offset by donating foods) before you can do the ultimate good, so it didn’t feel truly pure. There’s also a lack of punch in the actual conclusion. I very badly wanted to
! confront Mr. Delroy directly, but what I got was a little more hollow.

Played through this game and got one of the four endings. While the game can be entertaining at first, I really cannot recommend that you buy this game. There are multiple reasons for this. The first being the overall quality feeling of the game… The game feels like a half-assed itch.io game. I don’t know if the developers knew what they had in mind when they made the game, but the end product turned out to be a mess. The currency system feels unbalanced, the needs of your family are not difficult enough to make the game challenging, they only require you to do some really basic minigames over and over again to grind the stats, really distracting from the actual game, and very annoying. When I wasn’t trying to keep up with the family needs I just found myself running around the town looking for jobs to do. The jobs were always the same, “talk to this person, then talk to me” “Pick up thing from here and deliver it there”. No variety whatsoever. It just got really really boring.

Fit For a King
Fit For a King is a relatively short game but is definitely an enjoyable experience. The whole game is centred around the summit that you will be throwing and your main goal is to outspend your rival.
Like the trailer says, you can pretty much do anything, from executing a foreign ambassador to marrying a literal piece of sh- ahem refuse.
At times it can seem a bit aimless and it can be hard to find the clues to get things you need but otherwise is quite fun and definitely worth a play.

The game has a weak and slow start, don’t let this dissuade you. The controls are dated and supposed to feel like a mid to late 80’s crpg, but are way more straight forward and easy to understand then those ever were back then without 200 page manuals. Once you can get a good grasp of the controls the game opens up and the gameplay starts. For the most part it’s a puzzle game with some loot hunting in it. The humor is pretty good and the mix of both serious and silly just strikes that perfect balance. It’s only really down fall and biggest selling point is that it’s short and sweet and complete. It left me wanting more, which is rare for most game these days. It made me want to give ultima another shot or some other Crpgs. I guess some minor things that made me sad was that while there was a ton of lines for the NPCs I wish there was more , and by extension more tasks or quests. (Spoiler) Another minor thing was that it’s never explained in game that some walls can be walked through as a sort of secret entrance.

This is a 2D top down horror themed survival/twin stick brawler hybrid game with a rich story and handmade artwork. Explore an alternative universe Finland and fight off creepy monsters, keep yourself alive long enough with the tools in your inventory and you may unravel the choices-matter interactive story.
There’s a few good points here, the atmosphere is good and the game launches under Windows 10, which puts the game above so many other indie titles. As far as handmade art goes, it’s perfectly acceptable and fits well with the theme. Unfortunately there’s some deficiencies, too. Resolution and controls are both fixed and can’t be changed, which makes the game fall below minimum standards for PC. Also, the game lacks polish and suffers from many gamebreaking bugs and crashes. Finally, twin stick top-down genre died a long time ago shortly after 3D accelerators became available back in 1995 with the S3 Virge.

Isolation Story
I received a copy of this game from the dev to Let’s Play it and I really enjoyed my time with it. This is a survival game heavily inspired by the Covid-19 pandemic where you need to survive for 7 days until a vaccine can be created and deployed.
You’ll need to manage your character’s health, hunger and happiness. It’s oddly addictive and has a surprising amount of stuff to do given how small the city is. Including tons of achievements to try and complete, and even a way to time travel.

POSTAL 4: No Regerts
I have got to Thursday, currently working on it. I have made it to the sky lift so far have had a lot of fun.
Now I must mention it has crashed or locked up per say a lot on area changes. I keep having low memory warnings. I had to lower my resolution to 1920x1080 on my RTX 2080 a little more stable but still have lockups on area changes. If the bugs get ironed out this is going to one of my favorite games. I see so much potential in this Game!

So, Postal 4: No Regerts, is a first person shooter that follows the Postal Dude, voiced now by John St. John, the same one that voiced Big the Cat! (and some obscure character named Duke Nukem) You have to go through a whole week in Edensin, last game was Paradise, and you had to do tasks, which is nice to do with the open world type thing Running With Scissors is going for. BUT, I am not here to talk about story, that’s Civvie’s job! (even though he really doesn’t cover the story much, love ya big man) I am here to talk about the game in itself. As you can see at the top of the store page, this game is in early access, which is not a big deal since bigger games are in early access, even for years! (Rust) But, this game is littered with glitches, bugs, and nasty creatures like the crash dummy. (it crashes lmao) I did not have a problem with these glitches, as they added to the experience to me, but I do have one problem that Running With Scissors can not fix. It’s the specs of my PC. I have a 1660 GTX and it runs really well on the first, second, and third day. The forth day has some problems, but you can manage. But Friday is where it all goes down the drain. I constantly had to keep the graphics and such to buttsauce levels, and it still would lag harder than Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS4 and Xbox One on launch day. But, am I upset by it? Hell no. It’s just that my specs are too low for the game to handle. But, it is a fun game if you have a better GTX graphics card for the later days, then you’ll be fine. If not, still, enjoy the game because it’s still fun, even on days before Friday! And the people at Running With Scissors are really down to Earth, and no, I’m not sponsored. (pay me pls) Anyways, I hope that this uninformative review has helped you, even if you already bought the game, then if you did, congrats, I didn’t need to convince you! If you didn’t, I will eat your cereal but spit it out back in the bag so that you won’t notice my momma bird special. Have fun you frickin weirdos.
