Nightvision: Drive Forever

Nightvision: Drive Forever

“AWESOMELY TRAUMATIZING”

So there I was, just minding my own business, driving through a mountainous highway. I wasn’t quite sure what I was running from, or exactly sure where I was going. I was admiring the beautiful sky, excellent lighting effects and great overall graphical presentation. I was navigating the treacherous highway and unpredictable traffic pattern, slowly falling into a driving rhythm guided by the soundtrack of chill electronic beats held together with adrenaline filled undertones. My will to survive was at an all time high. I dodged left around a vehicle, then right around a vehicle. I could clearly hear the sound of the air rushing around me as I narrowly missed multiple commuters, each miss slightly closer than the last. After clearing a few of these early morning drivers driving to who knows where, I let out a sigh of relief. No traffic was in sight - only me, the open road, the beautiful scenery and the mesmerizing music. I was 2 miles in to a 6 mile trek, and I knew the worst was behind me. I came around a slight right kink in the road, with my high beams on to increase visibility ahead. The road straightened out, and I began to make my way up a small hill in the path. Up ahead, I could see a bright beam of light - I flashed my brights on, then off, to try and signal the other driver to do the same. The light kept getting brighter and was nearly encompassing my entire screen at this point. I made my way to the far right of the road to give them as much room as possible, with no knowledge of the other driver’s level of competence. Just as I was cresting the hill, BOOM!!!! My heart nearly stopped. My car did stop - and shortly after I lifted my hands off of my Logitech G29, which is superbly supported in this game. I took a 1 minute break to allow my heart rate to slow down. I grabbed a clip of the incident to confirm what I had already suspected - as I crested the hill, the unpredictable computer driver moved into my lane at the last possible moment. We had a head on collision at over 100 MPH. The image of that burgundy SUV is now forever burned into my retinas. I have awoken in screaming agony every night since the incident. My heart has still not recovered, and most likely never will. 11/10 would crash head on into a computer player again!

What are you doing procrastinating by reading the reviews? Buy it already!

I love this game, and I shall tell you why, if you’ve read this far but still not bought it…

Story mode gently eases you in to the high speed mountain driving experience. The difficulty starts to ramp up as you progress through the film noir style story mode, and new challenges are introduced gradually as you progress: with more winding roads, beautiful but treacherous weather conditions, and increasing traffic all coupled with the need to keep your speed up at all times.

Safe Not Safe

Safe Not Safe

Ever wondered how stealth games of the future will look like?

This is how. Safe Not Safe reinvigorates the genre in several fundamental ways.

Meaningful exploration

Every mission is a completely new procedurally generated level. Explore freely and find your own way to the goal without a pre-designed solution.

Worthy Opponent

Powerful AI controls the whole base and commands robotic security. The AI is adapting to your actions and builds smarter and stronger defences on the fly.

Real Challenge

Rogue-lite elements are challenging but fair. No saves during the missions – success depends only on your plan and the way you combine your skills and gear.

Sweet Surrender VR

Sweet Surrender VR

nearly 10 hours in, and I’m a HUGE fan of this game. It has some bugs, but definitely makes up for it by being one of the most fun VR games currently out there by far, in my opinion.

let me say first that the reviewers not recommending this must be incredibly hard to please, you know the type… the gamers who throw controllers, and rage about bugs.

the game just came out, bugs are to be expected. with that said though, I do think this should have been listed as early access.

I’ve encountered plenty of game breaking bugs, such as:

I wanted to like this game a lot. But in the end, I couldn’t. The core concept of the game is great, but it has too many design flaws and way too many bugs.

The Good:

  • Great performance

  • Chip upgrade system is fun in concept

  • When firing on all cylinders, combat situations are a lot of fun

The Bad:

  • Bad weapon balance. Two handed weapons are almost impossible to use. I would be astonished to see anyone actually complete a level with a shotgun. Dual wielding automatic weapons will always be the superior choice in every situation.

Pixie Farm VR / ピクシーファームVR

Pixie Farm VR / ピクシーファームVR

Pixie Farm VR is a pixie raising simulation VR game where you raise only pixies in a world that seems to have dragons and phoenixes!

●Training

You can train your pixie by choosing your favorite training each month.

The ability to improve varies depending on the map and training, and the failure rate also changes depending on your motivation.

It’s up to you whether you want to be a weak pixie or a strong pixie, aim to be the strongest pixie breeder!

●Events

Events will occur in between training sessions, and your pixie’s abilities may change.

There are also times when a suspicious doctor appears who recommends a surgery that seems to be almost unsuccessful……?

●Training

You can also send pixies to training to learn techniques.

Sometimes a stray pixie will show up and challenge you to a battle!

●Competitions

You can also send the pixies you’ve raised to tournaments for them to fight in.

If you win a particular tournament, your rank will increase, and as your rank rises, you can challenge for higher tournaments and raise stronger pixies.

●Soul

Unfortunately, pixies have a life span and must be separated at some point.

There is no such thing as a freezer in this world, but the soul of a deceased pixie will remain forever.

And there are rumors that those souls will help raise the next generation of pixies……?

DEATHLOOP

DEATHLOOP

I’m saying this as a big Arcane fan - buy this game. But buy it on sale.

It got all the fun gameplay, awesome level design, interesting characters and decent story as any other of their games, and this definitely makes it worth playing.

BUT. At the same time, it’s a deeply flawed game.

Game has only four locations, and while they are relatively big with a lot to explore, and can be visited at different times of day, going there time and time again starts being repetitive quite soon.

For some reason there are no difficulty settings, and it was such an awesome idea in Dishonored 2, with different settings for combat and stealth. Here, for example, stealth often feels too easy after D2’s highest setting, but you can’t change anything.

Real player with 59.6 hrs in game

I really don’t want to hate this game, but I do.

Warning for “feature” spoilers, but I’ll avoid story spoilers.

Deathloop is just such a prima donna. The designers' vision was more important than making it fun to play, and it shows.

You can’t save the game. Ever. If you quit mid-play (or suffer a crash) the game forces you to restart at the beginning of the stage you are on, with the loadout you previously selected. If you want to stage select or change your gear you have to leave the level and allow time to advance.

Beast Agenda 2030

Beast Agenda 2030

Beast Agenda 2030 is a action rpg, stealth, strategy, alien(squid) end of time biblical feel game where you must join the resistance, rescue survivors, gather resources, use makeshift weapons, and escape with your team to a safe place if you want to have any chance of saving mankind as we know it. Oh…and did I mention that there are no weapons like guns or swords so you will have to improvise if you want to live very long. All of these things make for a very entertaining game that I would recommend to anyone who is up for an adventure where you can decide how you want to go about different missions. What I mean by this is that there is many ways to go about many things in the game and you can decide which way you want to achieve these goals. If you fail at one method, there are many more to try until you do succeed.There is a great story here but I don’t want to give to much away. I feel this is a game you will want to try for yourself and immediately feel the atmosphere of the game especially with the spot on soundtrack that adds to the eerie feel of the end of human kind. This has been especially fun for myself as I was in need of a game that is not quite like anything I have played before or it is different enough to be unique and very entertaining.It is still in early access but there is plenty of content already and it has a super cool dev who is working on new content constantly and updating the game on a regular basis.He is also always willing to help and easy to find.

Love the game! I’m looking forward to unlocking all of it’s secrets, mini-games and levels!
