Receiver 2

Receiver 2

I recommend this game, albeit it has some issues. I’ll elaborate them further when appropriate.

First of all, I haven’t finished the game yet. I’m currently at level 3 “sleepwalker”. Which is due to how many times had to re-level up. I’ll come to this later.

This game isn’t made for your comfort:

While I say that, it isn’t a bad thing. It’s clear that devs made it this way to relay some points. But as you learn to play this game it might lead to some frustration, I just wanted to put that out there.

I played the original Receiver a while back and wrote a review of it, recommending it to gun aficionados who were looking for a game focused on realistic guns rather than gamey guns. That point stands firm in the sequel. If you want to adjust for failure to eject and double feed malfunctions after manually loading your magazine and chambering a round, you’ll love Receiver 2.

–———————————————————

Receiver 2 claims to simulate every moving part in the gun. They certainly did get them all in the model. Every gun is designed to match manufacturer specifications, flaws included. Take a fall with a Colt Single Action Army and you risk it firing if the hammer wasn’t at half-c0 ck. (I love censorship).

Containment Initiative

Containment Initiative

I’m a big fan of zombie shooters, and so I offered to help test the game when the dev was looking for feedback.

Containment Initiative’s big differentiating feature from other zombie shooters is the gunplay mechanics, in particular the reloading. You get the same pressure as in other games with zombies coming at you, but now you have to manage working your gun correctly, and it seems so perfectly suited for VR. A few other VR games are going this direction, but this is the first time I think that it’s been applied to a zombie shooter.

I was a bit skeptic about this game at first, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was. I originally was just looking for a co-op game to play with my friend and it really delivered. The ability for a friend to play as a support unit on the PC screen was a pretty clever mechanic that I really appreciated. My favorite game mode is scavenge since you can move around and explore. There’s not a huge variety of weapons and enemies, but I didn’t expect anything crazy. The story isn’t amazing either, but it follows a progression that leads up to a post where you have to get a sample of the virus to find a cure. I hope to see this game develop more or more games that follow this co-op mechanic.

Having used this now for a week, I would have paid 4 times the price for it. It’s exactly what an app like this should be: Simple, straight forward, small and fast, and configurable enough to do nearly anything you’d want it too. I’m primarily a destiny 2 player these days and trying to get used to a new setup including povohats accel and this has been a godsend. Especially considering that because of health reasons and age (45 years old and serious neurological issues are rarely good for the reflexes and snap judgements. Lol), it’s been a bear of a time clawing back a bit of consistent muscle memory. The app is configurable enough that I was able to sit down and physically measure movement and duplicate in game motion and the results have been astonishing. My aim hasn’t just improved. I can do things I couldn’t even do before, short of doing them by accident.

6 months ago, I was the worst person imaginable at FPS’s, so I purchased this game on steam and played it for 30 minutes a day while listening to podcasts. I went from trash to the 75th percentile for weapon accuraccy, and I am not stopping any time soon. I will continue to use this to train myself religously for the next 4 years.

This being said some of the game modes are useless, penta/simple, with the only mode worth investing time into being reflex. The game is also in need of a better way to track your progress, as the graph only displays your results from the past 15 or so plays, a sniping game mode, and a less random tracking mode that emulates human player movement.

Ballistic Overkill

Ballistic Overkill

After pouring a good amount of hours into this game. It will be the times I should put an actual review of this game. As many of you know by now, you would have known me for my videos of the game ever since it came into Steam and could go back to the days since the days of Kongate/Facebook. I been through all times when the game mades changes to its mechanic, weapon system, and much more. If you want a shooter that is straight forward by jumping into a random lobby with other fellow player, but at a slightly faster pace than CSGO, this game is for you to try out. All you have to do is jump into a lobby and start shooting people away. When the game was at its prime, there are several servers you can choose from different regions. Aside with the issues it has with its P2P code and it wont register your keyboard/mouse input, it gets it down for being responsive. The weapons on each character define a specific playstyle they try to promote and it reflects on those players that can utilize it. However, certain classes sometimes go beyond that intent and ends up either not representing that role or some classes share it. The level up system is straight forward, the more you play, the more access you have to slots, weapons, and skills you can utilize to your character. Although it went away from its skill tree system, choosing 2 skills allows you to tailor your character to your liking. (Sometimes one build becomes the must build of all time instead of experimenting). Despite the fact this game is retired by the developers of the game that had a goal for this game, they did leave it for us to use it in a way where us veterans can play the game to either remind us how could the game be as planned for. There will be times when the game is completely dead, but dont worry there will be stubborn players out there that still enjoy the game as the rest of the community that stood behind it. Also for a price of $1.99, its a deal of a shooter game that offers so much content. There isnt an end game you can chase after, but you can enjoy what it has to offer and might end up playing every class like I do and try new things that I never done before. This is part of the fun.

So I’ve never written one of these before, but I feel that a warning for prospective buyers is in order.

I’ve played this game a lot as you can see, since (very) early access. Clearly I liked it in the past, but now I’m not so sure. Why?

There is very little, if any, testing of a new update before it gets pushed out. Crippling bugs like the game not launching on Mac and/or Linux, black screens and other such delights are often missed and unleashed on unsuspecting players. I seriously wonder if any testing is done at all, these bugs are so bad and so obvious they surely would have found them by just opening the game once. This was somewhat acceptable in early access, but by now it’s ridiculous.

XIII

XIII

★☆☆☆☆ Terrible!

Action

The 2020 remake of XIII is a cheap, lazy, broken cash-in on a once fascinating name.

It really makes me feel bad to have to say that because I had high hopes for this. But it’s true! In the same year that 2K gave us an amazing remake for the original Mafia, XIII stands in its own class of awfulness. That anyone could release a game in this state and try to charge 40 Euro for it, let alone goat people into pre-ordering it, is appalling.

At first, I thought the ‘very negative’ review status on Steam was a little overboard. I had followed the discussion boards before release and boy, some people did not like the style change. Having played this for an hour and then gone back to the original, I can say with a certainty that I should have listened to those people more. Not only have the developers ripped all of the charm from the original game, but they have also failed to replace it with anything of substantial worth. I think this is the most apparent in the half-a$$ed attempts to tie some of this remake’s style into the original’s. In the original, was frequent and eventually blended into the background. Here it’s reserved for very few things. It’s noticeable that its inclusion feels inconsistent at best.

Graphics aside, what the remake was INTENDED to be was the original game’s campaign and levels more or less faithfully recreated (with the original cel-shading replaced by more of a Fortnite-like cartoony art-style), but with new, more “modern” Call of Duty-inspired gameplay, including aim-down-sights, a limited inventory, a simplified health/armor system, and partial regenerating health. Rather similar to what happened with F.E.A.R. 2/F,E,A,R, 3, Bioshock Infinite, Aliens Colonial Marines, etc.

Affliction

For me this was a very interesting game, for several reasons. This is a game guru game and as such includes all of the downsides of making a game in such a primitive game engine. This includes loading screens that crash rather frequently and take plenty of time to load (even on an SSD). And Lots of in game glitches (one glitch i noticed several times was where the game “deep fried” my screen). But despite these shortcomings, this may just be the best game guru game i have ever played (and that’s taking into consideration i have played hundreds of them)

This review is subject to change, so do not take it as a final score.

Story: While far from complete, the notes left around the game write a pretty morbid one. The horror elements are more in these than anything else. Granted, the horror in this is more about the evils within men than the horrors of the monsters. I would go into detail, but that would be major spoilers.

Soundtrack and sound effects: The soundtracks fit the theme of the game well, helping to build on the intended atmosphere, and the soundclips accomplish the goal there were meant to. May need some fine tuning, but they are not bad.

ESCAPE FROM VOYNA:  Tactical FPS survival

ESCAPE FROM VOYNA: Tactical FPS survival

this game sucks

do’s and don’ts if you still wanna buy:

  • do always run to the right edge of each map and just go forward, this way you avoid most enemies and reach the exit of the level.

  • don’t try to screenshot, the game will instantly crash

  • don’t try to walk in water, you will be locked in place and will have to restart the map

  • don’t complete any mission as you will have to restart the entire game to progress as the mouse disappears.

it took me 1.3hrs to complete this mess even with all the bugs involved
