Best Games I’ve Played this Year-Jude
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and with the year almost closing out we need to use the eyes on the back of our heads to see what we were given during another difficult year for all. I put together a list of those games that helped keep me sane, and in the spirit of the list I’ve decided to use games that were released this year. Each one may receive a review in future, if it hasn’t been reviewed ...[Read More]
Yakuza Kiwami 2
The Yakuza games follow the life of one of its toughest fictional members, a living statue of a man called Kiryu Kazuma, and takes place mainly on the streets of different Japanese towns. As the name suggests you find yourself involved in the dealings of the notorious Japanese criminal underworld and the vast empire of the Yakuza. Kiwami 2 continues after the first game, and the storyline and narr...[Read More]
Glyph
You play as Glyph, a little robot looking insect thingy, which is supposed to revive a temple by venturing out into the dangerous world to gather resources. The world itself is dangerous to traverse, so you must use safe platforms to manoeuvre carefully through each level, with progressive difficulty and more rewards. The story is mostly explained through exposition so I felt really disconnected f...[Read More]
Ghost of Tsushima: IKI Island DLC
The Ghost is faced with a new challenge on a new island in the DLC, with news of a different kind of threat reaching Jin’s ears after encountering some crazed Mongolians. Investigating further led Jin to travel to Iki Island, another landmass in the path of the invading Mongols that they’ve decided to invade, populated by more people you will need to save. The only issue is that this is not Jin’s ...[Read More]
Demon Slayer: Mugen Train
From start to finish I invented my own Total Concentration Constant, called Heavy breathing, and my concentration was constant, even when having to answer my wife’s many questions I managed to multitask without my focus wavering. Anyone that has watched the series, which would be a strong requirement to understand what is going on, will be aware already what the plot to the movie is. The first ser...[Read More]
My Top 5 Skyrim Special Edition Mods
I spent about 3 days of down time reorganising my mod load order, which includes hours of tutorial videos, messages from online friends and a lot of trial and error, to make my 300+ mods play nicely together. I’m someone that goes mod shopping before even starting my game, always hunting for something new, something I don’t even need, and I’m not sure that I even want, just for the sake of having ...[Read More]
Chivalry 2
As a veteran of the first game, I had already set my sights on the release of the second, and in anticipation I played the first some more just to get myself ready to remember the controls. Thankfully, I didn’t die in the first 15 seconds of play, just the 23rd second after a hit in the face from a sneaky archer. For anyone that hasn’t had the pleasure of playing Chivalry before, it is a first-per...[Read More]
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
It’s important to mention that Spider-Man, along with Batman, is my favourite comic book hero, and not just because he’s popular but for so many other reasons, so you could bet your bottom dollar I was going to own this game at release, and not just because it was part of a bundle which was the only means that GAME would sell a PS5. A favourable coincidence to say the least, and a chance for me to...[Read More]
Demon Souls: Remake
As a veteran of the Soulsborne games, a proud gamer and stubborn bastard, I had to buy Demon’s Souls and get stuck into it, I just had to. Ignoring the fact that the PS5 was released and I wanted a PS5 game to go with it, besides the other 3 I bought; I also wanted a fresh taste of a Souls game. You see, Dark Souls was my first entry into the franchise, so for me this isn’t just a lick of paint an...[Read More]
King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match
KoF 2002: Unlimited Match is a remake of the KoF 2002 game released way back in, well 2002, but with updated features, new layouts and what may be additional characters. I never played the original, and I’m not very familiar with the KoF franchise beyond playing a few rounds with some friends back in my days of youth. Still, I’m always up for some 2D slobber knocker action, past or present, just s...[Read More]
Gunsmith
The clue to the game is in the name, we get to make guns and other accessories in the bloody world of arms dealing. So playing as Tony Stark before his life-changing abduction after a weapons showcase in the Middle-East, but with a lot less pizazz, and starting capital, and everything else that resembles Tony Stark, the aim to start up a business, make wise investments, complete orders and build a...[Read More]
Hammerting
Ok, so there is no actual contract to speak of, but I imagine it would be a very one-sided document. Hammerting is brought to us by the same publishers of the famous Worms series, Team 17, and is already recognizable with a similar core design. This new game is a mining sim, with some additional elements from the RPG genre such as stat management and requires the player to manage a team of miners ...[Read More]
