A Monster’s Expedition

A Monster’s Expedition

I play 100+ puzzle games every year and this is likely my favourite release of 2020.

Draknek and his team have truly advanced the state of the art in how the game’s world is put together and how exploration and puzzle-solving are interconnected. There is no other puzzle game that does quite what this one does in terms of the interaction between mechanics design, navigation, and secret-finding. It’s not just a game about pushing and rolling cylinders around, it’s a game about really interesting cause-and-effect relationships between the cylinders, the spaces they’re placed in, and the places that you wanna get to but can’t.

If you love cute but challenging puzzle games and think the goal of visiting a public park is to leave not a single tree standing, this is definitely the game for you. It might even be the game for you if only one of those two things apply.

I’ve put a lot of time into this game, so saddle up for a thorough review.

A Monster’s Expedition with Overly Long Subtitle is a large and challenging tile-based and turn-based spatial puzzle game of the sokoban subgenre. Beating the game is somewhat tricky, but mastering it (clearing all the fog) is very difficult—and I say that as a longtime DROD player.

Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure

Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure

This is the best game ever!!! Its so fun because there is no violence and has helpful features to make it through easier. The dialougue is real snazzy becuase it makes me feel like i am actually talking to my favorite princesses!!!! The cutscenes even include my character with voice acting too!! The magic commands are simple, they have pleasant animations like the twirl one thats my favvvv ^w^ I like how the tasks dont demand any rush and leaves you to explore all you want. Turning the poor little imps back into sprites is so uplifting and so is helping out all of my bffs throughout the story. Plus running around the locations makes me really very happy because i get to twirl around with the wand and look at all the sparkles, I could do it all day!!

Obvioulsy I bought this for my daughter. She’s 4 and has grown up in a world with ipads and media on demand and wireless internet isn’t a luxury but rather almost a legal right. This game is atrocious on every aspect. Even though I bought it on a deeply discounted Steam sale, I still feel ripped off. My 4 year old immediately complained about the low quality of graphics. There is no resolution settings. At all. It’s defaulot resolution will essentially just scale to your native. My native resolution is 7860x1600 (triple 30" lcds). Reducing the resolution down to 2560x1600, the game still looks like crap. Secondary, the controls are some retarded arrow key and spacebar combo with M and N as action keys. There is no default recognition of the Microsoft Xbox/PC remote controller, and I was unable to reprogram it ato the game, since the game seems to override controller recognition upon start. Your kids are stuck with the keyboard and mouse. Just learn like I’ve learned…when you see the “Disney” logo, it always means “FAMILY FOCUSED (soccer mom minivan, stepford wives, corporate whored out shit show applications and movies and themeparks.”

Disney•Pixar Toy Story 3: The Video Game

Don’t get me wrong, this game is brilliant, having a blast with my brother playing back on old nostalgic levels and enjoying ourselves like the good old days. Sadly, this version is not as good as it was on Xbox 360, half the stuff from the original is not present in this. It really grinds my gears when the toy box mode, which was multiplayer on Xbox 360, is no longer multiplayer anymore, I’ve even spent hours on trying to figure out if I’m missing something, trying to verify the game multiple times.

I didn’t want it to be true but it is.. and I’m saying this as a BIG Toy Story fan (also a lot of childhood memories). =(

This is a very disappointing port of a “console to computer” game!

IF the game should work (which it only did once at the first time I started) you’ll see that the graphic quality from the console-version is not being carried over into the PC-version (bad to no shading and missing face animations) and I’m not sure if it’s the port/pc-version or the fact that I have the german language setting but none of the charakters make the slightest noise or say a sentence during the levels/gameplay.

Disneyland Adventures

Disneyland Adventures

A very entertaining game for Disneyland fans. I saw this in the Steam store and showed my wife, as she is a HUGE Disney fan. She told me to get it immediately because Disney. I didn’t mind because Frontier has done great park games in the past. (RCT3 and Planet Coaster)

This game doesn’t fail to deliver on it’s promise. You can explore all the main parts of Disneyland, and they are recreated fairly accurately. The graphics and art style is good, albeit slightly cartoon-y. It’s a nice blend of feeling like you are there, but still being a cartoon representation. The rides which are included have been turned into multi-staged mini-games, which is an interesting and fun twist. Exploring everything is held together with questing and finding hidden items. The whole game plays like an open RPG; Think Skyrim for a 7 year old.

The game has a LOT of mini-games in it. It will definitely keep you busy. Some of the games might give eye sensitive players a slight case of vertigo (down the rabbit hole, for one).

Game storyline: You play a mute kid (prove me wrong) [your choice of boy or girl] who is asked by the Disney characters to help them collect items. You level up by performing these tasks and discovering hidden treasures with the help of magical items provided by particular characters. With each Disney character, you are able to high five them, dance with them, ask them for an autograph, or get a hug (note: not all characters will be okay with hugging). In order to get autographs, you need to buy the autograph books from the stores. Also, you will need to buy photo albums to be able to take pictures and selfies of certain areas (watch for the bouncing photo signs). I would advise having the camera in your possession while wandering around the park. This is because there are large blue circles that appear on the ground when you have your camera in your hand to take a photo of a popular area. The goal is basically to 1) get all of the quests done, 2) find all of the hidden treasures, 3) photograph all of the hidden Mickeys, 4) complete your photo albums, pin albums, and autograph books.

Brick Rigs

ATTENTION: Brick Rigs is NOT a Lego game.

If you are here looking for a ‘Lego simulator’, then this game is not for you. It used to be like that, but the game has changed a lot since it launched. The currently posted trailers and screenshots are several years old and no longer accurately represent the game. Since the introduction of clipping (ability to build creations with intersecting bricks) and scalables (generic geometric shapes without the iconic Lego-esque notches which can be stretched to any size), the community has shifted towards a generic blocky aesthetic more akin to Roblox or Stormworks. Take a look in the most popular section of the workshop to see for yourself.

Crash Drive 2

Hello,

My name is PIG! Let me tell you why CD2 is easily, my most favorite game. Most people think the game is over after they achieve 100% game progress. In my opinion, that’s when it really begins. I’ve been playing for several years now, and I’m still learning new things each time I play.

All vehicles have their own uniqueness, or personality. With 30 vehicles to choose from, it is very easy to find one that fits my style of play, if not several. What’s most impressive, is how well the vehicles and terrain work together. They both compliment the other very nicely. The controls are very simple, so children can easily master any vehicle. The complexity of the terrian, and physics of the vehicles, make the game very fun. I have the choice of 4 maps, with lots of hills, ramps, loops, and events. Aside from the main focus of game play, there are hidden locations, and secret ways of getting on top of the rock walls, loops, and structures. I can be as competitive, or as laid back as I want to be.

You know when Keanu Reeves always says “whoa”? I think he must have been looking at an early copy of this game.

I had no idea what to expect when I threw this in my cart just to raise my order level a couple of bucks. I love racing games; and the description sounded good. The idea of it being multi-player with random events almost turned me off; mostly because I think online multi-player does nothing but bring up the worst possible players in games…not to mention I wasn’t worried about doing anything but driving cars.

Disney Infinity 1.0: Gold Edition

Disney Infinity 1.0: Gold Edition

Insert obvious Disney Infinity Finite joke here!

PROS: The game controls well for a standard brawler/racing game. Both sets of controls feel tight, leaving little room for error in actions. The variety of the Play Sets is also a nice touch, jumping from the Incredibles super city to the Lone Ranger’s old west, from Toy Story’s star command to Monster’s University campuses. Story progression is rather straight forward, with most telling their own tale, a detail to hook those who have already seen the movies these come from, while keeping the music from each one. The Toy Box also is easy to build in, and the right creative minds can build off of it.

This game is worth it, I bought it in the pack ( Disney infinity gold collection ).

People complain " theres no multiplayer " boo-fůcking-hoo people give negative critizisim over tiny little things that dont matter in the grand scheme of it, especially on the 2.0 and 3.0 versions of disney infinity

at 20 hours of gameplay ( had 20 hours of gameplay when writing this ) and created a huge cave/maze, battle arena ( its got delayed fireworks so when you walk into the arena fireworks go off, the crowd cheers and enemy spawn in every 10 seconds ) and finished monsters inc playset ( main missions )

LEGO® City Undercover

LEGO® City Undercover

In my opinion this is by far the most entertaining out of all the Lego games. Both my son and I have spent a lot of hours in it. The story line is pretty long, and there is a ridiculous amount of activities and unlockable items. Activity completion is tracked with gold bricks, of which there is something like 500 of them. After 80 hours of gameplay we have only reached 220.

The detail level is amazing. The environment is a large city with a mix of destructable Lego builds and more conventional FPS terrain. I like that all the vehicles are Lego builds, and all have working damage and physics effects. For instance driving a semi w/trailer acts the way you would expect, including trying to move a trailer in reverse, or running across uneven terrain. You can even hop in the driver seat of the commuter train. And there is a working roller coaster. So much detail.

Story

In terms of a story driven game, it’s good. I really like the humour and nods to moves, TV shows, genres, songs, other games, and of course Lego.

You are Chase McCain. Detective & undercover policeman extraordinaire. You ride into Lego City on a silver… ocean freighter… and save the day! … But do you get the girl? O_O I guess you’ll have to play it to find out.

I don’t know if the directors / voice actors took queues from the Simpsons, but there were times that felt very reminiscent of that.

Bee Simulator

Bee Simulator

Bee Simulator, a cute game that helps you understand just what a bee goes through, an insect that helps to pollinate so many flowers and plant life so well, better than any other insect out there and how the world around them affects their livelyhood and natural habitat. This game has a decent take on the world of bees with a nice couple of mini games that flesh it out for you.

Just a quick disclaimer: I rarely swear in a review, but this game deserves it. I’ve got a lot of patience for games as I try almost all the games out there, but fuck man, this game got me upset at stages.

Real player with 12.8 hrs in game

The game is mostly minigames. The main story and side quests have variation from the minigames, so it’s not just those. But most of your time in the game will be minigames. I gave this a negative review, but it wasn’t too bad of a “time waster” game.

Races you fly through blue rings to follow/catch another flying insect. There are speed boost pickups to slightly fill your speed boost gauge, and slowdown pickups to avoid. If you miss a ring you lose a failure token, but you must go through the next ring or lose. There are also obstacles throughout the “courses”. The “Easy” difficulty is super easy and short. The “Hard” version is much longer and needs more skill.
