Resident Evil: Revelations

Nov 23, 2019
Resident evil Revelations is perhaps first Capcom attempt to fix what made RE5 such a massive failure for its hardcore fans. It brings back metroidvania style, survival and horror aspects back in the cycle but it doesnt execute it quiet as well as i hoped it would. The game opening moments are a joyful throwback to glorious days of RE in PS1. Dark corners, creepy sounds, mutilated bodies and great atmosphere in an abandoned ship leaves a great deal of good impression on player and make them want more but it never quiet answers those needs. instead the game starts to go back and forth between characters to tell a story that is not very interesting but its told in such a exaggerated way to make it interesting and perhaps to make the game longer than it is. all the levels playing with Jill and its funny accented partner Parker are the best parts. You explore the ship, read journals that unfold the story and lore more and scavenge around for items using Jill scanning scope that at start feels interesting but it becomes a chore ish thing by the time you progress into story for 4-5 hours. these segments also involves exploring ship and also solving puzzles that are way too dated and simple even compare to RE1 remake standards. luckly back tracking is not much of boring issue, each time you track back there is high chance you run into different things. The map of ship is also designed very well and by end of the game you dont need to bring your map as you will easily navigate through it which is amazing plus. Other parts of game where you take control of other characters outside the ship are only made to tell you a little bit of story from different aspects and all of these parts are action packed. something I did not want much. I would have rather to have expanded ship map and more focused streamlined gameplay with jill. Overall, its a really cliche RE experience but it does attempt to bring back a few important things that were forgotten since RE5. Enemy variety, horror, more suited environments to the whole nature of RE universe make this game very good

From the moment you boot up the game on PS4 it feels like you are thrown back in time in PS2 & XBOX era. The menu and even the title sequence style of the game is the resemblance of a beautiful time that we all been through and may have forgotten. At its core, Shenmue 3 feels like its remake **** that should have existed 15 years ago but that does not mean the game is disappointing. we never really expected shenmue 3 to carry the same cutting edge and revolutionary technology that it had back then. Instead with its relatively small budget , it tries to be more of sequel that is freezed in time and that is not a bad thing. Shenmue 3 doesnt have Mesmerising graphics, but the world is immersive enough if you want it to be. There are details in every corner of the game and you can view all the details from close. The world is colorful and pretty. From the green and lovely village to more populated river side area the world comes to life with its rich details in every corner. Top notch sound design and music also helps to breath life and artistic sense into the world. When it comes to gameplay, Shenmue doesnt really evolve the formula of the series. Its a game that is between Persona & Yakuza and yet neither of them. You got your romance, socialisation, daily life, adventures and occasionally kung fu fights. The game is filled with tons of dialogues, however I wish these dialogues were written much better. Some of the dialogues are boring and too cheesey. The voice acting is good but its no where near today standards. At times it feels almost too robotic but if you are fan of Shenmue then that is also part of the game's charm. Original shenmue was all about immersing yourself in the city, working, mini game and going through lots of cut-scene and scripted fights. The same is here, you spend majority of your time to be a detective like person and explore places on your own and slowly unfold a story that both long awaited questions & also leave and open some new topics to the lore of shenmue. Shenhua is the highlight of the game and I feel without her this game would have been a massive failure. Other side of gameplay is completely up to you. You want to engage in the world its your choice, thus for people who are not into narrative games shenmue can become boring but if you are fan of such games then you should be fine. Battles have a very dated arcady feeling and they were not my favourite part of the game. they almost feel like Virtua fighter series but for what it is, they are good and add some variety to the gameplay and depths to our character. In conclusion, shenmue 3 is a very faithful sequel, i wish the game was more evolved into modern day but judging by its small budget I assume it was the right call to make a game that we all wanted perhaps 15 years ago. Its nostalgic of old times, it reminded me more than the game itself, reminded me the time i discussed about how fascinating shenmue was to my friends at school. if you love shenmue you will not be disappointed. however if you are after game like Yakuza with more focus on fights, skill trees and side quests you might not quiet enjoy this one! this is a game that is designed mostly for existing fans of the original series. EDIT: After finishing the game today, I want to add to my review how frustrated and disappointed I am in the story and its conclusion. after 40 hours of campaign & 18 years of waiting and donating more than 100$ this is the worst thing ever! i expected lots of questions to be answered and lots of story progressed but instead he just left too many questions unasnwered and also added more to show its potential for sequels! i dont really see any sequel for this game with such a massive stupid ending. Thanks for nothing.

Death Stranding

User ScoreKaniya
Nov 10, 2019
One could say Death Stranding is a boring game, one could say its a new genre. I say its neither. But its a game that redefines a couple of familiar mechanics that we have seen in gaming industry. Sure you could go ahead and say it is actually a walking simulator, which it is, but the truth is that it is good at it. The technology that powers the game facilitates all its needs to a degree that is essentially an industry benchmark. Death stranding takes you to an empty, sad and depressing land. A land affected by a phenomena called death stranding that have messed up normal life cycle of humans on earth. I will say only this much to prevent any spoilers that might cause you to lose interest in story. But this world, also doesnt feel empty and lonely, it rewards you by showing other players helping each other not to only build America once again but also build a world for each other. The shared experience of Death Stranding slowly builds up and it rewards you for respecting and encouraging other players in this "difficult journey". This system sure is an evolved version of methods we have seen utilised in Souls series but here is designed in such a sense to give you happiness. now how much effective it is, it depends on your expectations from the game. You see, Death Stranding is a serious game, usually for us serious is defined as hard but fun in gaming world. Death stranding somehow tries to be serious by being a very realistic experience. Connecting America, if you imagine it in a world that humanity has lost many things, cant be a simple task of point n clicking. Its a hard task and a mission given to someone rather important and capable of doing it. but it also doesnt mean every second of this journey is filled with AAA over the board action sequences. This is a serious business of delivering parts to connect a nation to one another for a better tomorrow. Now that I have established my point, im going to say YES the game mainly involves delivering items around the shrunken version of North America from East to west, you have to traverse this environment mostly on foot and sometimes by cars and motors but that is basically what an ideal reality is for such situation. Still, the DS engines helps to resolve land traversal and takes its realism onto a new level. You can feel walking the entire america inch by inch, sure it can be repetitive , but seeing people have gone through same, put up outposts and left you supplies to use makes things interesting and your life easier, knowing that you are not alone in this journey. Sure it can be tedious at times or the whole structure is similar to fetch quests, but it is designed in depths. Inventory management, choosing your way, dealing with weather conditions, obstacles on the way are not things we see in a typical game that involves traditional fetch quests. You see, this game takes itself very serious just to tell you this is a new genre, a new definition of walking simulator games but in a such majestic fashion that I can say it does pushes it to next level and it is indeed very good at proving it. There are downsides in the game, story can open up itself in a very classic way of slowly explaining things to player but as matter of fact, everyone in the world of DS including Sam has no idea about the world they are living in, all they know is that they can gather more information through connecting america once again and that is when your reward comes through. Rewards do not need to always bee cool armors, cool weapons, cash or loot, they can simply be as realistic as nothing. "Nothing" in sense that Sam is putting his life in danger to do something that has nothing in it for him. Just like our own lives, we cant always expect rewards for stuff we do, however we can expect good things to happen, and it that department DS is good! it has bunch of really cool story segments that will keep you engaged through the end of it. DS gameplay is also designed in a very open ended fashion that is both balanced and details which shows Kojima ability in designing something new without much error. You could argue with me, but the game doesnt force you to grind for materials to build stuff, it rather gives you enough and asks you to make a wise decision about it. It asks you to make decisions about your every step since the whole world is reachable and its for you. It doenst ask you to build your adventures like Breath of the wild, it asks you to work for a nation, it asks you to work for your fellow players to build a world for you and for them. Death stranding sure has its up and downs and it comes down as to simple as poles, ropes and ladders and hands. But these are the things that brought us together and drove us away too. And death stranding tells that, it tells you how hard it is for us to be humans. something we take for granted. Thanks you sony for supporting developers new and unique ideas!

Shadow Warrior 2

A bit late yes, but I have recently finished this game and boy it was such a joyful ride. Shadow warrior 2 is not the the Shadow Warrior I had in mind but even then the big changes to the game are not necessarily bad at all. Story is fairly cliche, characters are uninteresting, side stories are mostly silly and dialogues are just so plain and cheesy which makes this side of game very weak. However, gameplay wise the game is very good. It takes inspirations from Borderlands, dropping a good amount of RPG in the game and introduces the player to Grinding for loot and skills points. Side missions are rewarding but toward the end game you end up having enough power in your firearm that is ultimately useless to do other side missions for weapons with only a insignificant power upgrades over your existing arsenal. the loot with weapon upgrades is a little bit too overpopulated and at time it becomes so boring to go back to menu again and again and try our new runes. Otherhand feeling to do more and more damage is very satisfying specially when you are dealing with storm of enemies around you. Character perks are good but i Personally did not feel much difference through upgrading them, some of them such as hit points, carrying more ammo are good but some others are really significant to progress the game. Chi powers are very underwhelming, and I did not find myself using anything other than healing paired up with a overpowered rune that halves chi cost of healing than healing. runes for character personal stats are good but very rare and hard to find as oppose to sea of weapon runes. Weapon variety is actually amazing, you find typical ones, modern ones and also demonic themes weapons, one of my favourite was a demonc assult rifle which I ended up using through out the whole game. The weapons themselves dont have any fling, or good voices, sometimes they feel so flat and similar and their power is only visible through seeing how much damage you deal to enemies, RPG elements such as enemy weakness, resist and immunes are much more important in harder difficulty and adds a good twist in the game. The action is smooth and very responsive but at times I find the screen to be overpopulated with effects. Level variety is very good in this game, although some parts of map are reused, the day and night cycle and weather effects + clever open worldy, multiple path and layers maps are seriously well designed in the game. each map is filled with enemies, bosses, superior and elits with higher chance of exotic items and tones of stashes for loot, but other than grinding they do not encourage the player to explore which is OK. Graphic wise the game holds up well even know, jungles are pretty, rains is awesome, volumetric lighting and bloom effects are just amazing and create lovely asian vistas that we do not see much in games nowadays and makes this game truely a GEM. .Melee weapons are a bit useless, specially when enemy deals electricity and posions its just impossible to endure the amount of damage while using swords, in the other hand the chainsaws are straight up overpowered, pair it up with some Critical damage and shields and heals and resist and you can destroy elits in seconds. Toward the end game the Power that activates with Z makes the game way to easy, player is able to upgrade this skill quickly by farming and turn to a unstoppable killing machine, legit you are able to kill story bosses within seconds. Overall I feel like some stuff in the game is unbalanced, some stuff are really weak and some are overpowered, developers did a good job of implementing a RPG action in the game but it needs much more work if any 3rd is in development but I really enjoyed playing this game!

I've picked dusk once it became available on steam is final version (non early access) and before I even start talking about It, I must say it became one of my all time favorite indie shooters. Its not flawless, its not innovative but its a traditional shooter faithful to what all old gamers loved about classic shooters in PS2-Ps1 era. The game story is Lovecraftian, its mostly narrated through us seeing how the world shapes as we travel between locations, the episode 1 fairly introduces the player to the Dusk world and what is happening and what has happened and it progresses onward to explain more about story. Story is nothing special or complicated but it ends up with interesting surprises toward the midway and end of campaign. the best thing about Dusk is how responsive the controls are and how fluid the gunplay is! it feels good to literally surf around the map and kill waves and waves of enemies, once you have finished the game, i highly recommend play it on highest difficulties to enjoy some blood pumping action. Weapons are good, sometimes its annoying that you dont get to find some of the weapons at some parts of games, and absence of Weapon wheel is also kinda annoying, I get the game tries to be what old games were like but some aspects are just very dated and straight up annoying, I hope at least they add weapon wheel for upcoming Switch Port becuz switching weapons on controller through console is just pure wasting time, specially in higher difficulty levels where the room for error is very small. There are tones of enemies, new enemies are introduced as you pregress into the game. First chapter takes place in a Resident Evil 4 type of setting, pretty cool with some horror aspects, Chapter 2 starts as a very typical military shooter and by far is the weakest chapter but midway to end it starts to introduce some otherworldly transitions that are amazing and add a huge variety to the campaign and lastly episode 3 is by far the best and each level is so distinctive and designed very well and the end game boss is so satisfying and cool :D the combat is chapter 2 is a little bit boring compare to 1 and 3 because the military presence is too much and there arent enough melee battles, you mostly spend your time staying as far as possible and killing enemies, where as in chapter 1 and 3 was more varried because you were encouraged to attack enemies close up. Some levels are little bit too tights and some levels are a bit too wide for no reason, its good variety but platforming sections, such as wall climbing, or passing through traps for hidden items are straight up annoying! but overall the game is so responsive in its shooting and it has amazing range of levels with wide variety to almost cover anything you have in mind that ultimately outweighs all the bad things about this game. I highly recommend everyone this game !

I have been waiting for this game for a time that feels like an eternity only because the trailers showed how immersive the whole idea of being in real/violent version of journey through inferno can be. After finishing this game, i should say I have been satisfied gazing at beautifully and detailed crafted vistas of the game, however the entire game has been let down by an annoying and problematic gameplay that almost made me feel like giving up on the game and praying for it to finish as soon as possible. Agony starts well, introduces you to a lost soul in hell in search of another chance for living, throws a story of Red Goddenss whose appreantly capable of granting you a second life but then it fails to explain the motives behind the main character wanting a second life and motives behind the Red Goddess wanting to help the main character. it almost feels like there are pieces where the story goes well but then again it turns very ambiguous at times and makes you question. the ending is kinda cool to watch but also it ends unsatisfactory and bland. the biggest problem of the game is in its gameplay. At times the game wants to be a stealth, but then it is never explained very well how to pass some enemies, mechanics are never shown and told properly to let the gamer know of their options. there are chasing sequences that are almost like super scripted, enemy Ai is weirdly sensetive at time and weirdly unsensative at times which makes the game very frustrating to progress. You get to have ability to posses other beings, but it is never explained how you gain the ability to posses different demons, nor possesing a demon makes the game interesting, there are no fights and killing people doesnt give any satisfaction. Puzzles are bland some for many areas it is impossible to understand what the hell are we suppose to do, other than wondering aimlessly and finding out stuff are progressing some how ? the only cool part about the game is the Art direction, amazing details, some areas are let down and the entire game beauty mostly lies in the part where we are in the forrest. The other areas start to get a bit boring at times. The game doesnt really have any sense of horror after the while because it gets frustrating, the checkpoints are weird and the mazes are so bland and stupid. Overall I give 8/10 for the art direcition but 0 for everything else.

I DO Agree that Its a fantastic game. Beautiful world, amazing details, impressive sound design and fantastic visuals. BUT With my system, i7 6700k, 970gtx, 16gb RAM all i get is stutter after stutter, FPS drops to 0 for seconds till it back to 40-60. Changing the resolution and settings will not make difference. I noticed CPU is running at 60-70 and sometimes hits 80%. I believe the CPU optimization is the source of problem.

Neverhood is one of those games in my childhood that I will never ever forget. It was something unique and beautiful. The newly released Armikorg, i assume as spiritual successor to neverhood did not feel the same way as NeverHood. Firstly, I believe living character silent was amazing, focusing on his facial expressions was an important feature that gave a really interesting feeling about Neverhood main characters. Sadly Tommy and beak beak may be kinda cute but they just dont feel that way. They are bland and pretty much normal characters. Story wise, the game is not that rich either and the culture of world is not explored through the art style. This was an important part of neverhood that seems developers have forgotten. The world of neverhood was believable, weird and kinda creepy where Armikorg feels like an industrialized world filled with plenty of similar objects. Aside of a few mildy challenging puzzles, most of the puzzles are pretty much the same or even they are repeated with higher difficulties, which got me bored after a while and i was keep thinking when this game will end for good. Nothing improves in this aspect toward the end of game and sadly the game is shorts and ends pretty fast. The art style and overall effort of developers is praising but it just will not meat the standards of NeverHood in any terms. Finally, I believe Armikorg is a wasted opportunity. it is very far from beauty of NEverhood and it does not come close. I wish they would have just remake neverhood with all the budget they had .

Metroid Prime: Federation Force

Federation Force is meant to be a multiplayer game and it is not necessarily but game suffers from a few critical issues. Federation force encourages you to play with your friends, it does not restrict from doing missions solo but it just feels so bland and tasteless. with having other friends in your game the game feels more alive and enjoyable. first problem is problematic control scheme. getting used to motion sensor for shooting accuracy is kind of annoying, but the second control scheme which benefits from extra control of new 3ds is much better. The gameplay takes place in 3 different planets, variety of missions are present and takes roughly 11-13 hours to complete the campaign. The problem is some of the objectives are a bit dull, but each mission has its own set of unique designs, battles and puzzles which kept me interested throughout the whole game enough. One of the biggest issue in the game is upgrades and guns, sadly there arent enough resources in the game to use these upgrades more often, this result into a boring single gun for the whole 13 hours. I believe this is the biggest issue and it adds so much repetition. battles are fun and boss fights are challenging and amazing but sadly having a same gun makes the action boring. Overall I should say Federation force could have been much better if some of the ideas were executed better. Is it worth it ? Im going to say YES it is, its not like 3ds gets FPS games now and then, nth is better than a metroid prime spinoff at least ! but i am going to emphasize also this game isnt that good playing solo !

Finally i got to experience No mans sky on PC. Despite of the fact that ps4 version suffers from HUD and control scheme, the absence of controller and having mouse and keyboard solves the issue pretty much ! the only problem remains with pc version are countless bugs and performance issue. I am running the game on GTX970 and it seems I cant get a stable performance on maximum setting which is a let down kinda of. Other than that, NMS is all about exploration and joy of travelling. The scale is awesome, the world is fantastic and it gives you countless exploring opportunities. Although at times it may feel you are doing the same things but with a different skin, what hello games accomplished with such a small team is quiet a thing for itself. Other than exploration majority of time is spent either completing game's man quest (finiding center of galaxy) or upgrading yourself through farming material. Beyond this due to lack of multiplayer content the game doest have much to offer, sadly there arent much of survival mechanism in the game such as outpost crafting and so on. Which I hope hello game considers adding them as DLCs at least ! overall not a a bad game but it is not what we all expected either,

It is pretty obvious that the hype around this game was all about the scale that it offers to players. and yes it does deliver the scale Hello games was talking about. Its varied, huge, endless and it gives you the feeling that you are actually travelling the endless space. However when it comes to gameplay aspect it pretty much lacks lots of things and it is mainly due to the fact that after a couple of hours the game feels pointless. You start as explorer, only quest you can officially squire is to find center of galaxy. other than that you are just another traveler. There are no other quests that you can obtain. The game is all about exploring planets, gathering material and upgrade yourself in outposts through the galaxy. This feels good for a while as you start to feel more powerful through your journey but in some point it comes to mind what is the point of becoming powerful when there are not any obstacles on the way ? such as small quests, boss battles and so on. Or even some story related quests. Atlas pass and star battles are interesting for a while but they become boring as there are not story and questing aspect in them. So it all comes down to a lonely pointless game! and the reason behind that is that 1. It is a single player but it doest set itself as survivor or an action game, its lost in between because from both of those genres it lacks relevant content! (e.g no quest, no building houses and so on) 2. second reason is that it seems it was not a good decision not to have multiplayer ! you cant complete with others, you cant explore with your friend, you cant do anything with your friend. Only because of this two reason it is easy to understand how much the game is missing in terms of gameplay content. just imagine if you could have build space outpost, houses on planet, meet your friends and so on. It would have been amazing. and I hope Hello Games think about updating game with this sort of content. NMS is such a gorgeous game, fantastic visuals, amazing variety and huge scale that is overwhelming at first. but shortly after you will realize its a small game. Finally, I believe that NO MAN SKY is a product of technology, a test engine that shows you what future games can hold and how big they can be in scale. other than this unfortunately NMS falls into category of a average game and it is shame to see this has happened to a game that holds an amazing potential in itself.

Possibly one of the most over-hyped shooter ever released. You read many websites praising how awesome the beta was and then you get to game itself and you will realize there isnt much to be praised about overwatch. Game features 21 heroes with lots of unlockables. Each hero has an interesting passive and a set of cool abilities but many of heroes are either over-powered ATM or either or with such a low skill cap they do an insane amount of damage which results in ez 1v3 in games. I feel like the game is not in a playbale estate and needs lots of re balancing in terms of abilities ratios. Secondly the game doesnt have much content. aside from tones of unlockables, maps and heroes will be summarized in about 1 hour. The rest of your time will be spent on playing the similar modes again and again. Although i should say the maps and their layers are awesome! may be one of the best map designs ever. But the actual concern for me comes in when you can switch heroes in the game. When such a features exist then what is the definition of mastering a certain hero or a roll. as far as I have played either no1 wants to support or we see 2 bastion in single game. I feel like in terms of choosing heroes the game should locks it for 1 choice and one champ per a game, this way the team will be enforced to a better team building and teamwork. Lastly, the game doesnt have much content, but I hope blizzard updates it with free new modes and maps and perhaps new heroes and features. After seeing what it has to offer the rest of your time will be spent on understanding maps, item locations and mastering a hero regarding their abilities in respect to the team and map itself. But I fink this will not be possible for every1 since the game allows you to switch freely between characters. Like i said this decision questions if mastering a hero or a certain roles matters at all. Perhaps only for team games, other than that the quick game mode of Overwatch is a chaotic and frustrating set of short gameplay which teaches you nothing and rewards you wit nothing as well. Other than this I will not recommend This game if you fink this will satisfy your love for MOBA games as a FPS shooter. Its a game with a very low skill cap IMO. As a person who has played League of legends for over 4 years with Master Tier, I am pretty sure I do have a good understanding of skill cap and over powered factors in respect to heroes.

Picked this game up on release date and I have played it for about 20 hours now. Roughly 4-5 hours of campaign n the rest I have been digging into multi and snap mode. as for the campaign mode the game is generally a re-imagined version of old dooms. There are not any horror aspects into it, no dark rooms, no flash lights whatsoever and generally there is no trace of doom 3 visible in solo experience. This can be a good thing or a bad thing based on your own preferences. The single player mode is basically within the idea of kill and proceed. It starts very slow in early levels and it goes beyond your expectations in terms of its speed and pace in future levels. the action is awesome and you can feel the survival in it. The glory kills are nice addition to the game as well and they are totally optional. The additional violence in comparison to doom 3 is a welcome feature which adds more excitement and breath taking moments . Each level has a good area design in terms of depth and size and it is designed in a way that you can hover around and battle with demons based on your strategies. Fortunately loading are short enough and check points and reasonable as well. There are explorations involved in the levels as well if you interested to go after secrets and collectibles. Another nice addition is guns and the variety of upgrades available for them as well as you suit. The upgrade tokens can be earned through given challenged in each level which is a very nice addition to the game-play and you can feel how powerful you slowly become through out the campaign mode. as for always demon designs and boss fights are amazing as they have always been. In terms of visual, PS4 version has a smooth 60fps performance, visuals are good but they are not anything beyond "good" . based on the level of difficulty the single player can take anywhere from 8 to 13 hours. The second part is multiplayer. Perhaps its the biggest let down because it has no addition and innovation in comparison to other games. HAving demon mode its a nice addition to overall pace of the game but its nothing spectacular. modes are pretty standards, map are OK and enough, tones of untouchables as well. at this stage provided that it might become boring after a while i am not sure going for season pass is a good idea ! Next stop is snapmode which i believe many have been waiting for. sadly it comes wit so much disappointment and lack of variety in it. one thing is that you can make hell levels which is a huge disappointment. but there is actually enough depth within its limits in order to build things and download them from the share hub (does not requires ps plus unless u wanna connect and coop or share your maps) and extend your solo experience. But obviously we have 2 wait for more than 1-2 week to see true potential of the snap mode based on user created maps. Overall i can say DOOM package worth your money if you are into a complete action packed game. But if you have been waiting a true sequel to doom 3 then i suggest perhaps wait a bit for game to become cheap enough !

Easily one of the best remastered games for PS4/XboxObe. After going through BloodBorne for 45 hours playing Dark Souls II for the second time is just full of joy. I have to say it feels fresh, the textures and lightings are much better than PS3, enemy placement and some items placement have been changed, there are tweaks and improvements around every corner and all together they have made Dark Souls II experience a fresh one. Aside of the brutal and fast nature of BB I have always liked the tactical battles in DS2 and its depth in RPG, there are tones of weapons and items to collects, tones of armors, magics and so on. Most importantly DS2 features Lost Crowns DLC, adding a good amount of gameplay ( around 15-20 hours max ) and as well as up2 6 player coop is another good addition to this package. With over 60 hours of gameplay, 40 boss to kill, additional story scope, new enemy placements, lots of other improvements i should say this is a must if you even played DS2 before.

i have finished the game on hard difficulty and it took me roughly about 6 hours and half ( perhaps close to 7) i should admit like Ryse, The Order is more like a commercialized product showcasing PS4 power. Part of the game u just walk around, watch cut scenes and investigate items, in these part all you can do is to enjoy the nice atmosphere, fantastic graphics and remarkable voice acting and catchy soundtracks! walking around and checking items are not fun to do since they are not rewarding at all and there is no scope of story in them. It seems RAD developed the game in a way to push gamer to know that Order is the best looking game atm, and yes it is! there are parts in the game that are simply Jaw dropping in terms of visual presentation. but i guess having too much focus on this, makes the game like walking in a half boring half fun museum. specially that story kicks off well and midway it becomes well .... lets just say so so. The Other part of the game is QTEs and gunplay, some of the QTEs are fun but mostly they have overloaded the game with QTEs, due to the letterbox presentation and almost there is no sense of gameplay sometimes, u feel like its an interactive movie just like TWDs or Heavy Rain but the lack of meaningful choices, 0 interactivity with the environments and a super linear adventure ( not necessarily a negative but it sounds like the game really sets u on a roller coaster ) makes it much inferior than those titles. Another part is the gunplay, the guns are fantastic, shooter feels so good, but bad thing is that it ends fast, just where everything starts to be very cool, bang, the game throws u into a cut-scene and it ends all the fun. (i definitely suggest you to play on hard so it takes longer for the fun to end) it is a shame to see developers preferred all the boring scenes to the cooler parts, even facing half breeds (which is the coolest part of the game) falls pretty short. The game is designed in a way that wants you know there are cool things awaiting but in the end the outcome is not satisfying and all the cool parts are pretty short. I should say there are a few cool parts in the game, shooter is smooth and nice, atmosphere and the world is engaging but the content and overall balance of gameplay is lacking attention. definitely worthy of playing once !

Honestly I believe this Remastered version of the Resident Evil Remake is much better than any other RE we had during the 7th generation .... ( RE4 is 6th ), its classic, its true survival horror, it has puzzles and well...i can say the pre rendered sequences is still amazing in terms of presentation ! its true that aiming can be painful sometimes, the camera angles could be hard to spot enemies around, opening closing doors can get fastidious but in the end all of these are factors which gave the series an original identity. Im glad i have purchased this, I did not have the chance to play the GC version, it feels like a fresh new game, story and sound design and gameplay is awesome. I recommend all the RE fans to support this game so that CAPCOM can bring us more remasters !!

The Evil Within might not offer anything new or innovative but for sure its awesome as a survival horror game ! Gameplay is amazingly well balanced between action, stealth and puzzles and exploration and each chapter attempts to create a different kinda experience. Story takes the most hit here, it takes a very long time till it reveal all the mystery behind the confusion which exist in the early chapters ( all the way up to chapter 9 actually ) but overall conclusion is satisfying enough. game is pretty long and its kinda hard, it took me 21 hours to complete it on survival and as well i have 118 deaths so far ~_~ graphics are fantastic, despite some poor texture qualities ( which is due to the engine ) and some frame rates problem which does not bother at all the overall visual Fidelity is really beautiful and fantastic . overall I like this game and its exactly what i wanted it to be

The Way its meant to be play ... The last of us Remastered packs a lengthy and memorable single player plus a wonderful and unforgettable DLC and a fantastic multilayer mode along with all the DLCs published until today. The HD remastered is not mind-blowing if you have already played on PS3 but you will be able to notice how sharp and clear all the game is in comparison to PS3 version, Textures are in a higher quality form and draw distances are much more clear, with that being said, even though technical quality of TLOU is no comparable to a next gen game but surprisingly the game is that much well crafted that is really holding up to this very day very well and it is still awesome to gaze upon the beauty of this game. the biggest advantage in the Remastered edition is that the game runs on 60fps, it makes the combat really fluent and much more believable than it was on PS3, overall experience is just awesome in 60fps but in case you still like that cinematic looking and feel of 30fps ND has put the option to lock the FPS to 30 under display options, as well make sure you update the game because the shadow maps will improve when you game is switched to 30fps but with that being said still the 60fps is more preferable. I can not say much about the gameplay, one word just fantastic, every part of the game is crafted very well as if each parts are made to test are ability of surviving, the story, character developments are wonderfully written throughout the game and after a while you will start to feel a bound between yourself and the characters in the game .... Finally the multiplayer is awesome as well, i wont spoil it for you if you havent been able to play it on ps3 but i can say this game worth of 49$ even if you wanna go only for multiplayer experience ( like me ). Finally the last of us is packed with a 20~25 hours of single player content and countless hours of multiplayer content only for 49 dollar, its one the best (and perhaps) the best game of the last gen consoles .... I recommend this if you havent played TLOU, and if you are a fan of game otherwise there isnt much reason to pick up this game ....

Demon GAze is a good game but not perfect. I have been waiting for this game for a long time and i should say it does not disappoint me. The story is not bad, also it features small stories about the characters we meet in the game and our relationship with them. Perhaps really sexualized but then thats how Japanese games are ~_~ there is nth wrong with it as long as u can enjoy its humors style. The combat and dungeon exploring is really deep and well designed and making character's section is really deep and fun. The only downside to the game is the really dated graphics.

Story is set in a sad looking world but its wonderfully told and its meaningful and fantastic. Music is fantastic too. only downside is that the combats might not be that challenging if you play RPG and Turn based RPGs on regular basis . it takes about 12 to 14 hours to complete the whole game as well.

OddWorld games are so memorable to all PlayStation One fans. Having OddWorld remake based on its original news was one the best news for this gaming industry. The wait was totally worth it and the final product is just as awesome as I was expecting. Everything we loved about the original oddworld is here along with 3D graphics and a more living looking world. THe unique art style of the game is more appearing than before and its just fantastic with all the awesome choice of colors in the game. gameplay is awesome, for the first time ever in the series we are actually able to adjust the difficulty, the game features lots of improvements over the original game and as well all the memorable environments and levels are all created in the 3D form. the level of challenge is pretty much easy on normal difficulties so if u are looking for a true OddWorld experience then go for the hardest one. The number of MudKons are increased from 99 to 299 as well. Overall this game an awesome game and every penny you pay for it is worth it. Please buy and support this game ! only con i have to mention is the unnecessary co-op mode, i would have prefer more level of contents.

MGS GZ has a AAA production quality but its short content wise. It depends how you play the game but it is intended to be stealth game and this is where GZ really shines. The world is a small sandbox area filled with many secrets and dangers that are calling for your hunger. Aside the interesting single played which took me 3 hours to complete it does have a high replay value as well. There 5 Side missions in which some of them are action based and some are stealth based but they are as awesome as you would expect from Kojima. Fox Engine shines on PS4 and the game looks amazing and it is awesome to have MGS in 60FPS. In conclusion GZ is a must have for every stealth lover and MGS fan and no one is forcing you to buy this game if you think its too expensive, PP is not so far away....stay tuned for the main game people and rate this game fairly.

Tomb Raider Definitive edition is an awesome game for PS4 and there is no doubt in that.

LAra has been upgraded and she looks fantastic with TressFX enabled and high resolution textures on her skin.

Color Schemes and lighting system as been upgraded, some of the texture works are different but overall it looks like really next gen game. in terms of gameplay this game is as awesome as it was a year ago! i suggest you to buy this game if you are a real fan of Tomb Raider otherwise there is not much reason to go back to this game.

ACIV does a good job in forming an open world game, wonderful world and nice to explore the environments and it does feel different other than other AC series, gameplays is awesome....although some parts are little boring due to the lack of detail in story or being too cliché at times. but overall gameplay is really fun. in terms of graphics it does look better on PS4, firstly that it runs on native 1080p, its a solid 30FPS, better texture work, nice plantation also in terms of physics they are much better, a more wonderful sea, better rain effects, improved perspectives and finally a really nice Rain effect and more smoke effects are some of the next gen improvements. if you are thinking should you pick up this for your PS3 or PS4 i would say it is a really good choice to pick it up fro ps4 and you will not be disappointed.

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate

Nov 19, 2013
Batman Arkham Origins Black Gate is a good start for the series to began on Handheld consoles but it is not an amazing or flawless game. Black gate story takes place after Arkham Origins inside the blackgate prison where Batman along with catwoman goes to capture BlackMast, Penguin and Joker. The gameplay is a 2D and Metrodivania style of gameplay, the world is devided into three different place where each of villains are there and Batman need to find his way through the buildings in order to reach each of the three main villains. Sometimes you need to check back previous places in order to find Batman certain Gadgets such as Batclaw, Explosive Gel and other things in order to be able to proceed through certain areas in the game. This makes the game kinda of a open world game since you are not really forced to move through a certain directions. There are tones of places to search and explore to claim upgrades, evidences which makes the exploration fun but to be honest finding all the secrets are easy enough, it is not challenging and rewarding. Detective mode is enables by touching the screen and it functions the same way as the other versions. Unfortunately despite of all these cool things, the map is twisted and when Batman locates his next objective it can be really hard to navigate batman through looking at the Map. The three areas in the game are more or less similar looking except for the Administration building where joker is. The boss fights are not as challenging as the other versions, they are just simple quick time event type of battles and only requires patience and pressing keys rather than forcing the player to observe and find a way. Difficulty level is too easy as well. Battles are really fun in the game just like the console version but in terms of stealth game lacks very much. It is fairly easy to beat the enemies if they are holding a gun or hide from them in few seconds which makes the stealth section very lame and easy. Story is not that bad but its not briiliant. finally Blackgate is not a bad game but also it is not perfect and more or less is a very small packed Arkham Asylum. if you are a batman fan sure it is worth to pick up.

This game costs 32.99 AUD in my PSN and 39.99 for a retail US version. Price wise i would rate this game 5/10. but to honest, by ignoring the fact that the pricing is kinda insane when you can get it for 2 dollar on iphone and kinda free on android its still a good game ! I have tested Vita version, There are no performance issues, loadings are fast, touch and controls are responsive and more or less it is as good as any other version exist out there. The additional features such as multiplayer are welcome or exclusive levels are cool but they do not add that much value to the game honestly. Still there is hours and hours of fun with this game and if you dunt mind about the price you should pick it up also its a very small game, sized less than 500mb so i recommend getting it from ps (cheaper) rather than retail version.

Proteus is not your typical game certainly, it is a game narrowed to certain type of people with unique taste, but who knows you might like it. Proteus is simple an exploration game in an amazing pixelated world. You walk around the world, you are like a wandered, wait and see as the time passes by and change the land and most importantly looking for secrets and listen to a touchy music. Proteus is a game of exploration and that is it, but it is not that simple that you think. The art direction in the world of the game is just an amazing piece of work, colourful and varied and distinctive from all the other games I have seen so far. As you dig into the world you will discover it is not only a place to walk and see, it is a place to feel and rhyme with, it is not just walking, it is a place to enjoy the music and observe the world. Proteus is an amazing example of such a unique genre that we seen rarely in the world of video games. It will take an hour or 2 to complete but believe me I have been playing it nearly 18 hours as every time the world is generated randomly... It is a worth game to pick up if you like these sort of games, also be sure to go with a headphone for you first playtrhough and dun take off till you finish it im sure you will enjoy the amazing experience.

lets put all the silly reviews stating a same product and similar things aside and look at this game as a true gamer and review it personally ghost is not a bad start as a cross gen/next gen. it does have a lot of potential to go with it. in terms of story the game does manage to offer a "not bad" kind of story, sometimes you hear funny or out of contex dialogues, some of the characters are not deeply discovered or they just act like heros that we have seen a million times. ghost may share a common thing with okder CODs but in fact its whole of a new thing and more or less it is an interesting concept also. in terms if gameplay COD is still what it was as before. kill n go and enjoy explosions and cool action stuff. i am really satisfied with the level of action in the game and its presentation quality. shooting is still fun and the levels are wonderfully varied and it gives us different experiences. i really enjoyed the single player graphics: the difference between next gen n current gen is A LOT. on PS4 is much clear than ONE and it does have a better color levels and white levels too. visuals are really glod however they are not tha wOW that you want to give to a next gen game but in general it is really good especially in single mode, in terms of multi graphics are not that different . multi: its what CoD is about perks are cool, it does take a lot of time to discover what suits you. there has been a balance into to weaponary which is awesome and the smg are not that powerfull anymore. new modes and awesome maps with dynamic stuff in it. highly recommended on next gen and pc due to the reason that current gen level of playes in a match is 12. 18 is better becuz the maps are too big. recommend: mong all the FPSs out there for ps4, COD can be a good choice if you want a hell of action single player and plenty of fast paced multi player fun. if you looking into smt more tactical i would not recommend this

As an exclusive for PS4 launch, Killzone shadowfall does a good job to be a showcase and it does offers a good multiplayer but overall it is not what we expected from killzone series. Single player: runs through 10 hours depending on the difficulty level and amount of time you would spend exploring the levels. level design is similar to Mercenary version, the robot that following us adds to the gameplay mechanisim which is good, sometimes the game takes too long untill reaching where the action starts, this is where you will feel like you are not playing a killzone game if you have played 2 and 3. stealth parts of not good, there are areas where the game turns to a platformer and it does not manage to be very well either. aside of all the setting of each level is incridebily beautiful, varied and amazignly detailed. shooting mechanism are fun but the controlls are even smoother now compare to older killzones. graphics: this is where killzone shines, you have to see to believe it. i have been playing games on maximum settings on pc and this game is truley a next gen graphics. reminder that this is only the beggining. multi: so far i spent 2 hours in advanced for the multi and its hell of a fun, so much better than the single player and this is where the game basically shines in it, without this level of quality in the multiplayer matches i would have given this game not more than a 7. recommend: there are COD ghost, Bt4, killzone available to buy. for you to decide easier i would recommend picking up killzone if you looking for a really amazing graphics. dont expect too much from the single player but the multi is really fun, now if you enjoy the multiplayer that cod offers then dunt gof or this game.

I bought this game once it was available in store today. I played the PC version and I should say this is a much better game. Lone Survivor is one of the best survival horror indie games I have ever seen. It starts mysteriously in a very nightmarish world filled with a really moody atmosphere and step by step it will tell you the story. I will not spoil anything about the story. Lone Survivor is pretty much about surviving. In the game world you have to explore and while you explore you have to be careful to take enough food and sleep. You have to keep your sanity stable as well by consuming pills. the game really relies on resource management and as you go through the game the more depth will be added to the overall survival mechanism. Since the items are important therefore exploring in the game is very rewarding as well. However, exploring will not be that easy. It is all about the choices that you will make based on your items. you can go ahead and kill all the monsters you can chose to accomplish you goal by stealth rather than fighting with enemies. depend on which action you chose all the items you have found will come in handy, depend on the item the consequences will be varied. you can stunt enemies, blind them, burn them or kill them with your shotgun and so on. There is a really crazy variety of items that you can use and since you will treat everything as a scare source therefore the gameplay will not be repetitive throughout the game. Other than these sort of challenges which you will face through the adventure in the game, also for exploring you will be required to look for maps, there are various puzzles to solve as well which all together adds more variety to the core gameplay. The game world is truly beautiful. Mostly it reminds me of the silent hill series but it has its own art style. even though it is pixelated but as the matter of the fact this kind of graphics adds a better level of the atmosphere to the overall presentation. Sound effects, dialogues and so on are quiet quality work. I recommend this game to every survival horror lover.

The variety of the levels are much more, the art direction is simply fantastic, the gameplay never becomes boring and simply it is one of the best platform games I have ever seen. I totally recommend this to anyone, with its price tag it does offer more than you expect:)

Sep 12, 2013
Amnesia A machine for pigs is a whole new experience compare to its previous version. it is not always fair to criticize a game in according to what the overall product used to be. Amnesia AMFP does take out somethings and does bring some new things in in comparison to its previous title but reviewing a game is not always about comparing, it is about its current state in the market as well and how developers have crafted the game. In terms of story I should say AMFP has nothing less than the the dark descent. The story is wonderfully written, undoubtedly it is not cliche like outlast, as you progress into the world of the game in search for your lost daughters you will come across record pieces which will tell you what has happened before the game starts and as well beautifully story presents itself through the game instead of taking place into the boring cut scenes and it tells its story visually as well which is an interesting and praising point for an indie title. I will not spoil the story further but i should say the concept of the story and its metaphor and references are quiet interesting if you have the enough knowledge. Amnesia has never been entirely based upon sudden fears, its about the tension in the environment and atmosphere. Remember how we used to be scared all the time while we were playing Silent hill 1,2,3 which did not have any particular sudden fears? Amensia AMFP delivers the same mechanism through its awesome sound effects, very well done soundtracks and the creepy crafted environment which takes place in London. I think choosing the setting as London has good preferences built into it in order to present the story. The gamed does terrifies you, it is divided through the different sections throughout the 6-8 hour of game play and each section delivers a different kind of fear in them. Although I should mention some of the mechanisms have been dated in terms of predictability specially for those who have played the previous title. But still I do like how the game forces people to imagine the monsters rather than facing and killing them. Gameplay takes in varied environments through out the game and it does have interesting stuff to be seen and to be faced with. Puzzle parts are fairly remained same but I like how it is more advanced and scripted (technically and story) in comparison to other titles like Outlast. Some of the elements of previous game are removed which does not make much difference, only the sanity meter has affected the gameplay much. I imagine how it could be with sanity meter of course could make the gameplay and the action much more engaging and exciting. Finally in terms of graphics, the game has fairly remained same, but as the matter of fact the art direction is much better than it used to be. I like the concept art works built into game and I really enjoyed how much detail is crafted in the game world in various sections. It has made the areas much more believable and real to me. In the end, i Do understand some of the fans (Even myself) might find the changes in this game to be weird or not interesting but overall I really enjoyed the game because in the current market we do not see many horror games with a non cliche story and a heavy atmosphere. I am pretty sure the developers will take the feedback into the next game and will combine what has been presented in both titles in terms of gameplay mechanism and other stuff so as considering it is an indie title, i should say overall it is a very awesome product

Rayman origins was one of the best vita games at the time of its lunch. Rayman legends has returned to repeat the fun time that everybody had with Rayman origins. Sure it does Rayman legends consist of 5 chapters and one extra chapter yes the crazy land of livid dead!) which will take a long time to compelete it. also it contains all the origins levels and so much more content and challenge levels and stuff. Overall gameplay is very pleasing and fun to play. Only weird part that I did not like it is the murphy levels, they could make it optional it makes the gameplay kind of weird, one part its platforming and then suddenly it changed to a touchscreen game. OVerall it is a good game.

Killzone: Mercenary

Its been a long time since all the Vita owners have been waiting for a great FPS to show up on their handheld consoles, after all the disappointment that we all had from COD finally Sony has brought to us a game worthy of time and money. Killzone Mercenary is the second spin off of the Killzone Series, the story takes place somewhere in between of killzone 2 n 3 and in game we are working as a mercenary for both ISA and helghans in which each level in game we have given a task by a client. Honestly the story is more fun that it was in Killzone 3. It has interesting events in it and sure its worth the time. The single player mode consist of 9 levels which can be completed in 4-6 hours depend on the player skill and difficulty level. each level in game has been designed in the way that it does not really forces you to do what the games tell you so, there are secondary objectives which you can approach to and also the way you approach to each given task will be up2u. depend on the equipment the player chooses they go and assault the enemy with heavy weapons, or they can go stealth or even you choose to stay far and do sniping. so actually each level is worth of repeating specially when we get to have different equipments. Now the interesting part of the game is that every choice we make in killing the enemy will give us amount of money which will be used to purchase the different types guns, armors and Vanguards and secondary guns or grenades and stuff. this makes the game so enjoyable that encourages the player to repeat the single player missions. Furthermore upon completing each campaign level 3 mew contracts will be opened for each level in which each of them will give certain instruction on how to end the mission and they will require different guns and equipments. The multiple layer design of single player really shines, and if you really want to go ahead and complete all the contracts and open up all the stuff will take you roughly about 10 hours . The multiplayer part is another awesome part of the killzone. sure the hardware limitations does affects the multiplayer but actually its hell of a fun. each map can consist of maximum 8 players and there are 3 modes to choose from. the multiplayer will give you valor cards which is fun to collect all of them. the multiplayer is sure fast paced and existing of van gaurds even makes it much more fun . now the V-guards are really new thing to killzone series, they allow u to apply certain special efects such as shield, sky fury, invisibility to apply to your character and it makes the gameplay everytime different in both multi and single player. finally I have to say technically this game is impressive. it is running on the Killzone 3 engine so as we have expected the graphics are awesome. The textures may not be as detailed as uncharted but in the other hand the shadows and lightings are awesome and i can say there is no match with it. Most of the models specially guns and really detailed and characters model are awesome. the smoke effects are still good however we should not expect to handle like ps3 versions but the blood effect is still unique and quiet realistic. finally I can say its one of the best graphics we have ever seen on a handheld console. the controls are very well designed for vita. fortunately it does not feel as heavy as even killzone 3, since it is a portable version it feels a little bit more smooth which is awesome. Overall there are some flaws with this game but I should say killzone mercenary does deliver the promise of a real shooter for vita and i believe no vita owner should pass it ,it is a must and i am pretty sure it will be entertaining for a long time.

Killer Is Dead

User ScoreKaniya
Aug 29, 2013
Killer is dead is the newest title from the twisted mind of Suda 51, who we know mostly for No more heroes and his masterpiece "killer 7". Killer is dead sounded a game that I thought will mostly approach to something in between of no more heroes and killer 7. Killer is dead has a twisted plot just like Killer 7 but unfortunately its too much twisted and sometimes some parts will not be explained and will leave the gamer confuse, I think they would have done a much better job in crafting the story. The dialogues are no match with beautifully crafted dialogues that previously we have seen in No more heroes or killer 7 but still they are quiet weird and somehow sound hilariously funny sometimes. Aside of the weird story, characters are very well designed. They have this weird feelings sin themselves and they will show up even more weird during the game itself. The main protagonist and his assistant or somehow quiet interesting characters but I would have loved to know more about their past or their relationship. I Think story in this game is very interesting and its a really new approach to a different kind of story but also I feel like its lacking so much to explain itself to the gamer. The gameplay is something between Lollipop and no more heroes well a way more action, this time we have a melee weapon and a gun in hand which does give more variety to the gameplay but i wish they could have put more depth in the combos, the slashing scenes are insanely fun and the gruesome battles have chilled up the action which is really good. overall the gameplay is really fun but its not as awesome as no more heroes. in terms of its presentation its quiet sexualized but its no reason to smash this game i mean I have no idea why websites such as IGN or many others just see this game from point of view of a sexualized game and try ti smash it and blame it This game is rated for adults, and its no worst than Miley Cyrus slutty VMA performance for 14 year old children... i mean seriously this game has been criticizes unfairly. And if those reviewers just see the game through its sexism and stuff I should say they are quiet closed minded. this is what ART is awlays about. in terms of presentation and visual style I should say Killer is dead is a brave and awesome approach to its goal, sure the gigolo missions sounds perverted but they are no difference with movies or other types of media so its no reason to blame it I like how the game has focused on woman and presented it it sounds quiet a brae approach and it has things to tell that sure the poeple who are into art would understand more. Technically the graphics are quiet good, animations are smooth but i wish they would have more real feel in themselves, characters are well crafted, some of the environments feels a little empty but its overall presentation is good. the enemeis are as cool as other Suda 51 games as well. A little bit screen tearing appears to be in ps3 version which anoyed me sometimes as well. Soundtrack is a masterpiece and i have absolutely no word to describe Akira Yamaoka works so listen to it and enjoy. Overall I think Killer is dead is an enjoyable game, sure it does lack in terms of story and a little bit gameplay compare to no more heroes and killer 7 but its so much better than lollipop chainsaw. I hope we can see more stuff in near future from grasshopper interactive ! Also if u pre ordered the limited edition u gonna get an art book, poster, DLC and soundtrack..

It is not fair to say Vita is not capable of running Jak And Dexter What you will notice across all the three games at first will be the horrible frame rate, now... we had games such as MGS 3 Uncharted MW GR and so on with much better graphics run on a very stable frame rate. Conclusion is that unfortunately developers have rushed on this port and it has turned something lazy. The game is obviously not optimized very well on vita therefore we are seeing the huge frame rate drops. I can tell you that the frame rate is smt between 20 to 30 . All the three games are in one cartridge, which leads to see textures have been simplified too much sometimes. in general graphics are turned down compare to PS3 so much. We had HD collections such as MGS 3 and MGS 2 in which the graphics were on par with console version and it was running very good. I do hope that developers address the issues as fast as possible to fix the problems, becuz the more you play this collection the more you realized it is kind of unplayable this game needs to have consistent frame rate. aside of all, Jak and Dexter consist one of the best series ever produced on PS2, its 3 legendary game with charming characters, nice open world gameplay, attractive story and beautiful settings. The gameplay feels a little bit ancient due to its old nature but it is still worth playing if you never have tried Jak or want to re alive your memories. Finally, I do hope GOW HD will not have Frame rate issues and I really like to see a patch for this game.

its quiet rare that sometimes in a generation few games turned out that are totally different from all the games in the market, the most horrifying fact is that are they any good Catherine is one of those kind of games People who were behind persona have came up with such a game for this generation and as you know about Persona series well of corz, Catherine is one hell of an experience that no other game has given to u ! Story starts of with a guy called Vincet and his life and his girlfriend, whose name is Katherine, and well he meets a seductive woman in bar called Catherine and he cheates on Katherine and well you will fall into story as it goes it turn very attracting and interesting that i dont want to spoil anymore ... gameplay is being devided to two sides, just like Persona series, one in real world as you go around and interact with other characters and one in Vincent's dream where you end up in an interesting puzzle, you have to climb up a tower which is made of different cubes, there are many traps along the way and you have to open you way by moving cubes along to top of the tower, as you get closer to the end of the game these puzzle start to become SURPRISINGLY DIFFICULT that may be frustrating. But what satisfies the gamer most is the adult oriented story, its about relationships and so on, which other games doest pay attention to it that much other than other ATLUS games ... graphically and artistically catherine has much to show off, beautoful colors in the world and nicely drawn and developed characters and so on. I picked up the Collection edition at the first day, it was kind of a weird CE since it gives u a pervert feeling with having boxer, sexy pillowcase and catherine shirt in it WTF ! but overall its fun cuz whatver this game offers you is much different than any other exicting game in this generation, of corz the kinda same will be the P4G for vita.

One factor may cause people to think this game is not worth picking up is totally its dated graphics, which is more due to its low budget. PS3 version resolution is increased to 720P, the camera scale and view is much better and there are so many graphical enhancements in comparison to Xbox version, but sure it does still looks quiet outdated, smt between PS2 and PS3 era. However, game does manage to have a very interesting plot which engages u in it, its filled with weird and interesting characters, creepy enemies, horrifying moments and finally a much more pleasing ending than the xbox version due to involving more cut scenes. Its a an open world survival horror game, smt which comes out rarely, its hard to manage to build a good open world mixed with horror theme, but as the matter of fact the team somehow managed to make it quiet good, through out the game, story is being told interestingly, you get chance to drive your car around the town and explore different places, and of course u will end up fighting monsters. Good news is the combat system and control scheme have been improved quiet much and made the game playable. Some people werent able to continue the game on Xbox due to the issues it had and its difficulty level. Fortunately PS3 version is balanced out very well and there are not so many problems with it, Finally, its one of those types of games that whether you will enjoy or you will hate it for rest of your **** i do recommend it for fans of horror games because truly its really better than mistakes konami and capcom have made by injecting too much action elements in their legendary horror games such as RE and SH. if you arent fan of horror game, well better dont pick it up

Soul Sacrifice

Soul sacrifice does enough and offers enough amount of content to show that its not a clone of a monster hunter and its true. The amount of customize you have is a vast variety of skills, magics and so on in which the gamer is being encouraged constantly to try out them and prepare themselves for harder boss fights. each level of game takes place in an arena where you will clear the area from enemies, meanwhile you will be given certain decision which will be effective in the way your character is being developed throughout the game. That will be the Sacrificing and rescue factors. Combat in this game is rewarding and its really a fun and challenging experience, no matter you go alone or u join online matches the gameplay feels quiet same and fun. the issues comes in where you realize that game sounds same. areas and enemies are poorly developed and there are not much variety to them. its obvious arena and designs where inspired by Mythology stuff but it could be so much better if the team could put in more effort in designing more variety of enemies. aside of that, SS have one of the best Art directions around and its no doubt about it, Soundtrack is very well composed and its quiet catchy. the gameplay will feel quiet repetitive after few hours and its generally the nature of this genre, but SS is trying to improve this issue by offering a huge amount of options to player and having a very rewarding combats. Its quiet up2 the gamer, for those who the game will be addictive they will not feel its repetitive, but if you didnt like the demo or this genre the game is not going to be your type. The graphics are good but some textures are quiet blurred or bad. finally I think SS is not the game that we expected, and Inafune (with his big name around) didnt do much to make a masterpiece, but all together, for a vita to receive a RPG game SS is a very good title.

Gods among us its a good game, but honestly it does feel somehow as same as MK! the game basic mechanism is just as same as MK, the changes and additional features are mostly into the parts where you perform special moves and stuff but the rest of the game feels pretty much as same as MK, the story is really good though and i really appreciate the story in this game as i did for MK. but i guess the gameplay needed more depth into it, i still like Mortal kombat way much more than this, but this is a very good game

Knife of Dunwall is the second DLC for one of the best games ever released last year, Dishonered. Knife of dunwall is pretty much plays on the basis of the original campaign itself. you take control of the the person who assassinate the queen at the beginning of the original campaign and you will go through 3 maps where two of them are totally new and the third is just recycled from the original campaign where you kill Daud with Curvo. the game may be a little big short depend on the style you will chose to play but as a matter of fact it is nice to repeat the first two maps and try out new features or other ways to approach the objectives. The new powers added are somehow interesting addons but they arent amazing or overwhelming in comparison to the original protagonist of the game. finally i guess its worth 10 dollar for it, specially that u own the first game and you are thirsty for some fresh campaign i hope there will be more interesting improvements in the next DLC which will be the last one.

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend

BlazBlue Continuum Shift EXTENDED is a brilliant game to add to your Fighting Vita games! BlazBlue extended version goes further and actually opens up the story in more depth, each character is presented through a short story wonderfully and it runs through some fights but the STORY MODE is not as interactive as other games are such as Mortal Kombat or Dead Or Alive. In fact is more like a text adventure anime type thingy which is more delicious to Anime lovers than other gamers. Whats awesome about BlazBlue is the set of the wonderfull playable characters the number of playabale characters are not so many but in fact it takes really a long time to master each of them. Each of these characters are designed wonderfully, have their own unique attributes and combos. in fact the gameplay has quiet depth in it which is wonderfully balanced between players :) I cant complain anything about the set of playable characters in this game ! Furthermore there are tones of mode to chose and play, a really nice training mode is provided and in generall BlazBlue offers a really long gameplay to its fans. Graphics in this game is awesome. The characters are in 2D but the backgrounds are rendered in 3D. EVery aspect of the design in this game is truly nice, specially that set of used colors are quiet beautiful. Finally BlazBlue is a really HArdCore Arcade fighting and i am recommending to all the lovers of fighting games
