The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt

There are games that are beautiful to look at. Others of immense depths in gameplay or story. Some have amazing soundtracks and sound design. Few can boast to have all of the above. Red Dead Redemption, Halo CE, Mass Effect 2, Borderlands 2, Divinity Original Sin 2, etc.

Although the Witcher 3 doesnt have the most profound gameplay (a weaker point in that regard, but in no way a low point), it has all of the others.

If i were to write an in-depths review, i’d need hours and hours and obviously, more than the 3000 characters allowed. So i’ll cut to the chase.

I got to this game rather late, and had honestly written it off as bad due to the…short comings of the previous two games. Having now played it however, I can say that it was worth it, and largely enjoyable. Mechanics, while not perfect were a vast improvement over previous entries. The narrative was honestly fantastic. The various methods and means to defeat monsters, and the difference in difficulty between running in half cocked or just taking a few short moments to plan and prep were great. It’s failings are fairly simple and not entirely surprising.

Fallout: New Vegas

Fallout: New Vegas

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day

Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn’t have too much to say

No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip

For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town

He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around

He’s an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip

And he’s here to do some business with the big iron on his hip

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind® Game of the Year Edition

I think that this is a really well made game. I’ve enjoyed the freedom and atmosphere that the game gives you, the unique setting was really cool, and I felt that the choices that you make in this game have more of a impact than later Elder Scrolls games. There are some problems though, mainly with the fact that there is no way to manually fast travel on your own (without using Mark/Recall or having to pay for it at specific areas in the game), and slow run speed. There was also a bit too many fetch quests in my opinion, but theses problems are small and minor when in comparison to the wealth of great things that the game does well. Highly recommend it!

A true no frills adventure game. I cannot highly recommend it enough. A few points to follow though -

  1. Download mods. Please do not play this without them and expect a great experience. Don’t turn yourself away from the game right away. It’s nearly 20 years old at this point, the game could use all the help it can get.

  2. Take it easy. There’s no wrong way to play. There are certainly “sub-optimal” builds for your character, but that’s the fun of the game. You want to swing a big ass mace and cast spells in light armor? Go for it.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

I bought Skyrim special edition about 3-4 years ago on steam.

I had already played it a lot on xbox(360 for og and xbone for SSE) and the modding envy brought me to the PC platform.

I probably have over 3-4k hours into this game at this point not counting the sheer amount of time modding it and even making mods for it myself.

This game has gotten me through some pretty rough times too.

However here’s the rub, I bought SPECIAL edition not this crappy Anniversary edition.

If the upgrade is non optional (default Steam and Bethesda), which it is, then it follows this is by definition false advertising, which is straight up illegal.

Broken beyond repair by the last update- and not for the first time. It’s time to move on I guess… has been interesting, rather nice at times, but no more. Enough is enough- we worked hard to create these ..fragile worlds of wonder… this forced update *(THANKS, STEAM) broke the very fabric of our alternate realities …10 years after the dust could have silently settled…

I guess I am not the only one going crazy during pandemic- I buy and mod guitars like mad, I re-decorate my home..got a friend who started to learn to play ukulele and others study un-ironically the ancient art of ..pickles for Heaven’s sake, asking grannies around for best recipes… And these guys code. Re-code, re-do something..just to make something happen “in the meantime” or whatever…Just like M$ with their disaster win 11, these guys just can’t stay in /do something non-neurotic it seems..And we’re on the receiving end.

Gedonia

Gedonia

For one, the developer really cares about this game and it’s still being updated. Two, currently it’s on sale and it’s definitely worth more than what it is, even normal price. If you want a fresh Indie RPG with a nostalgic feeling, character customization, and open world; this it it. Will update my review in the future.

::Update::

Still playing and it’s amazing. Finally got to building my house, it’s a bit quirky with the editing and camera controls, but it will only get better. I haven’t even touched Dungeon mode which has an increased level cap compared to Open World, so if you’re into Dungeon Crawlers; well this has a mode just for you.

Some people are be nostalgic for the 8 and 16 bit era, and there are a ton of Metroidvania and platforming games shoveled onto PC and propped up by paid reviews. Gedonia is something else, and it made me so happy. Rather than the more common rip on the Genesis, Gedonia is like a lost gem from the original X-Box era, in the realms of Galleon or Kameo. There are a lot of simplified, modern touches, but the purity of the game and fantasy genre is endearing. It’s like finding out there was a 3D Zelda game you missed, gameplay wise.

-Early game is fun enough, but the game suffers from bad AI, ally and enemy, game breaking bugs that halt all progress, frustrating unit placement mechanics that make the game more enjoyable with a small party, rather than going for 20 mercs.

-bad ai- both friendly and enemy AI will attack each other if no enemy is in sight. This often happens in fog, long distances from enemies or in the darkness of ruins. Not fun to have friendly AI smack you with a torch every turn because they can’t see enemies in the darkness…

This game show great potential and offers deep strategic gameplay.

Revised review:

Thank you devs for replying.

I have had fun playing it most of the time, and i really liked the combat and the world, but I cannot yet recommend it because of the countless annoyances that are present and waiting to ruin your experience.

One of my biggest complaint is that there is no tutorial for your actions, in many places the consequences of them are missing.

The game expects that you think in context, yet often it is impossible to do you should be able to do in that situation.(You can clear a salt mine from iron ore, but then you cant mine salt there, nor buy?! You should be able to logically…)

Assassin’s Creed® Odyssey

Depending on how you entered (or re-entered) the franchise; if you start Odyssey, expecting the same gameplay and theme and enclosed feeling and aesthetic as the original AC games like Brotherhood then you’ll be disappointed.

But if you start Odyssey, expecting an RPG with a leveling system and skill trees and is somewhat unfamiliar (or not that fond) with how the original AC games play out, then you’ll be fine.

Odyssey is ::

BLOATED but CHILL… Which I actually appreciated because I fired up the game when I was exhausted by some fast-paced strategy games.

A Game for Greek Mythology Fans

This is my first Assassin’s Creed Game, though I’ve watched some gameplay of Assassin’s Creed, so I know a bit about the lore of Assassin’s Creed. To be honest, this game is unlike the other Assassin’s Creed game. Do not play this game if you are expecting it to have the same formula as all the other Assassin’s Creed games before Assassin’s Creed Origins.

This game takes place in an open world Ancient Greece. Only probably less than 5% of the game takes place in the modern world, most of the time the player will be playing as a Spartan Mercenary in Ancient Greece, so even without playing the other Assassin’s Creed games, there is no issue in understanding the storyline. To be honest, it is a great game as a standalone game, so just assume you are not playing an “Assassin’s Creed” game and keep an open mind, then you’ll be able to enjoy it.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen

This game is one of the most memorable western fantasy games I’ve ever played. And that’s saying something because it’s from Japan. Of course the reason is because this game is a love letter to the late Kintaro Miura, one of the most epic western fantasy writers/illustrators if our modern day. If you are a fan of Berserk comic series (manga) you will see his aesthetic, style, atmosphere and tone in this game. It is stylistically beautiful and I love the authentic feel of how everyone in the world speaks. There is no break in immersion with an American accent lazily thrown in. And even it’s European accents have an older dialectical feel with the words they use like, “T’is, Aught, Meager, etc…” wich feels good.

So DDDA plays like a lot of other Capcom games in combat rolling etc, which in my book is a big plus. Feels gritty, meaningful, and downright satisfying.

The class system is fairly in depth with all 3 quintessential roles and hybrids of each, which each present rather unique challenges depending on the foe.

Whilst somewhat dated now, this game still holds it’s own and delivers a timeless and original story whilst promoting character progression, and the attaining of knowledge for the enemies you will face, because some of them hurt. A lot.
