Eat Pray Steal! Put a 2D platformer game in the oven, then put a pinch of “Mighty Quest For Epic Loot” and lots of greed in it but try to be careful about spices; just don’t add too much spice. Don’t forget adding cartoonish cute graphics. Now mix them all together until they merge completely… And well done, you get King of Thieves! But there is a problem about spices, it seems Zeptolab couldn’t be that careful about spices. There is something everybody hates in the game; pick lock system!

Here is a genre I like very much. You don’t need to solve puzzles or be scared of being lost on a big map, you don’t need to struggle with complex RPG elements… All you need to do is to focus on the carnage! It is said to be roguelike but doesn’t roguelike mean turn-based? Hero Siege is not turn-based, quite the opposite, it is a fast-paced game. There are some simple RPG elements; you level up when you earn enough experience killing monsters, you gain talent/ability points and spend them however you like when you level up, you can carry an item and you can buy something from hidden shops. It is just the way I like in such a game. I would define Hero Siege as hack and slash. Read the whole article here; ****/review-hero-siege/

Have you ever wondered what would be the outcome when you mix some irrelevant games? I am sure every gamer does it from time to time. For instance, I always wonder what kind **** would come out when we combined Devil May Cry franchise with Diablo franchise. As if you were playing Diablo, but you need to press right buttons at the right time to perform skills to keep your combo up. There is no pressing your skill buttons when cooldowns are up, you need to sweat to perform your skills and moves! I don’t know, maybe there are already games like that. Anyway, I suppose some developers at Housemarque were wondering what would be the result if they wanted to mix Ikaruga with Super Metroid. The result is a whole new game; Outland! Outland is a 2D platformer game uses action and puzzle elements together. What Outland offers may not seem unique but every game is somewhat similar to some other game. I mean, from this perspective, every game is one way or another, a derivative of another game that was released before it. However, in terms of combining different elements in it, Outland is unique in my opinion. Read the whole article here; ****/review-outland/
