Metal Heads

Metal Heads

I’ve been helping out with testing the game (the online multiplayer) for well over a year now and i have seen a lot of improvements with it so far and it has come a long way since Pax Aus 2019.

The game itself is great fun online (yes there are issues but it is early access and what early access game doesn’t have issues) and even better when playing locally with friends. There are plenty of mini-games to play as well as a bored game mode that allows you to place items on the map to hinder others or yourself if you aren’t careful. The game has a solo Dev and Andy Gillion working on the music for the game.

The game was for a year on my steam-wishlist, and now it’s released. Yeah, it is buggy … but what else do you expect for a Early Access game? The minigames are really funny, and the game has many potential to be the next big party game. So buy it and support the developer behind the game, so that he can fulfill his vision of the game.

Furthermore he is active on Discord, in contrast to another game in this genre on steam, where the devs are lost, lol.

Shift Happens

Shift Happens

People will inevitably compare this game to Shiftlings - maybe even call one of them a knockoff. Despite both games having some identical game mechanics, they are very different games. It’s similar to Halo versus Doom. Both are FPS games where a green marine blasts through unnatural creatures, but the gameplay is not the same. Having played around 5 hours both shifty games, I’m making a short comparison.

Shiftlings:

  • Shiftlings singleplayer/co-op is both the same game, in singleplayer you just switch between characters

| Factor | Rating | Description |

| Gameplay Loop | 7 | This game is basically no-nonesense fun platforming. It knows what it wants to be and sticks to that. Getting past levels is pretty easy, but every level has these orbs, a secret area, and one bonus thingy to collect - which makes for a fun enough experience. There’s 4 worlds, and we found the 2nd one to be the most fun in terms of the quality of each and every level. Some of the later levels can start repeating the same ideas every now and then, but the game easily managed to stay fun for us through the 10h runtime. I do think I’d have rated it even higher with an even more crisp runtime. Just remember one thing, do not skip on the bonus levels. They’re the best content and the most memorable bits of the game for us. |

Can’t Drive This

Can’t Drive This

You have a friendship that needs to put on a test?

This is your tool, and you’ll even end up having a ton of fun!

“Can’t Drive This” is a party-game to give you and your friends a lot of reasons to yell at each other and a reason for that making-it-all-up-again-cold-beverage afterwards.

The objective is simple: One builds a neat driving track, while the other has to drive it (yes, WHILE it is being built) and the driver must (in all Speed-ish style) not drop below a certain speed.

But that’d be way too simple, there is un-simplifying obstacles like windmills you can crash into, trapdoors you can fall down in, pinball bumpers that almost literally bump’n’kick you out of the screen, and many, many more the driver will hate the builder for placing right in front of them.

Let’s be honest, you look at this game and what do you think? Probably something like: hey, that looks cute, probably fun for a couple of hours but not really something I’d buy.

This game is by no means perfect, but it is AWESOME. When I think of things to compare it to, I think games like Super Smash Bros. or the classic Pole Position. It’s just the most hype inducing, focus requiring, shout inspiring, frustrating game ever. It looks easy enough, “oh, I’ll just drive slow.” Nope. “I’ll just go straight.” You’re funny. “How bout I just throw away this piece.” Good luck with that.

Quest Hunter

Quest Hunter

I’d never recommend this to another person.

So here’s the thing. I played Quest Hunter & didn’t hate it. But there are a ton of reasons why I’d never point another gamer in this direction.

1st off, combat is terrible. Hitboxes force you to attack like the close talker on Seinfeld. Basically your mele is completely useless. You’re going to take a hit, if you try to use mele. Since you know you’re going to take damage, you might think that you can just use your shield to block & attack when your enemy is open. Problem is that you take a ton of damage through your shield, unless you stat up your shield block, which forces you to gimp your other stats(Health, Attack, & Defense). Level cap is 20, so skill points are limited.

Quest Hunter is a generic hack and slash action RPG game with some appeal. You play a random “digger” character with a shovel, cute clothing, beards and hair styles but very little actual combat abilities. The goal of the game is just beating down every critter and destroying every single rock and trees to accumulate shiny resources. Well it isn’t exactly this, but after 20 hours, finishing the main quest line can be summarized as such with no shame.

The combat is somewhat boring. You can hack forward with the attack button, block strikes with the block button and move around a 3D map with no camera controls. It’s very basic and not very challenging. I didn’t even bother blocking on my first play through. There’s no dodging, so the only thing you have to watch out for is not getting hit pass your tank line. To this base, there are spell abilities to grind for, but none of it really improves either the game’s difficulty rating (really easy) or the fact that I can’t play it for more than 30 minutes without being completely bored.
