I am a sucker for a good first run. I don’t need to shoot, but sometimes it’s great to have a sword, or a large whip. As long as I am immersed in an adventure. I think it is a big topic of my choice box: placed the foundation in my player’s character. I want to feel what it is like walking through the canyon with too many spoils that can be sold in my backpack. I want to park my soul in the head of a scotswan from his depth, hundreds of miles from the shore. The closer I can be comfortable with the character’s shoes, I seem to buy the world they live. Even if that world constantly glows a magnificent crimson.
Illusion dlead
We are not lacking in horror inspired by PS1. This half of this year witnessed the release of Threshold, mouthwash, Hollowbody and apologized to we closed. But a game that released itself from the prison to access early and took the aesthetics of that era to apply it to another nostalgic genre – the fictional role -playing game of the world open. Dread Delusion immediately and intentionally summoned the Elder Old Elder games (especially when you started in a cell) but one of its great strengths is that it is confident to build its strange and wonderful world, without classic, orc and goblins. Here, the gods are hideous beasts with secret motives and kings are crazy watchers. Everything looks strange, filled with the peaks of another realm; Hostile creatures wear a mask because they want to become a human, arable machine running on a spider’s leg and often go crazy. If you are longing for a strange new world to explore on your feet (or by balloon, as the back of the game), you will definitely consider stepping into this manual Wonderhell.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle
In preparation for our assessment of discovering this first -person angle, I saw the Indiana Jones and Dial of Destiny. I did that without much expectation, after the Labeoufian disaster of Crystal Skull, but was surprisingly satisfied. It is good! They went to the cool countries, jumped on some wet rocks and fell into sweat scratches, tied everything up with a bit of odd hioey that could not be explained by science or logic. It did not replace my favorite cross in the series (perhaps nothing will do) but it is completely good enough for an evening of the calm people who do not want to think.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle have done quite a lot of similar things, but spread out for days. It is an expensive blockbuster film made with all the crafts and competencies (and fascist) that you expect from Wolfenstein. It is large, tons of secret areas and cats can be taken. As much as my heart to those who are inferior in the game industry, sometimes I just want to disturb the perfect light and chew popcorn to the Hollywood -level action between the ending tasks that will allow me to break a fascist at the back of an ancient Roman statue. What I love most is how you need to use guns – every battle has a better access to your own fist, but it can help use fragments that can break around you. I fired Indy’s rotating pistol in a specific moment, when a single enemy swung a sword running towards me. What is Indiana Jones more than that?
Dragon of the teacher
This first reason is on my list: it cleverly limits your use quickly. For me, a game that allows you to immediately defeat between any old or mine cave, without a meaningful limit, will have a difficult time to simulate a real journey. In fantasy role -playing games, often announced that it will bring players into a big adventure, this is especially important. I will not repeat my reason, I have written about this and I will not be the first or finally a man about it. I will only say that when playing Dragon’s Dogma 2, I often feel like I am doing a real task. Going from place to place feel demanding in the whole coin or energy. If you want to go from town to town, there is always a cow car. And bold players will be able to establish their own “network” with smart crystals. But in general, you are doing it. And that gives everything more weight. Normally in the literal sense, as you now have to watch your inventory carefully, do not worry about the care when the day to night.
The second reason in my list: you can pick up anyone and let them know on the wall.
Steamworld Heist 2
Okay, this is not such a role -playing game. It was the Snooker bullet at sea. But it is still an adventure. If you have not played Steamheist before, then basically an animated XCOM as viewed from the side. It was a smaller strategic game and, in this sequel, everything was polished and made even more. In a world map, you take a boat around to grasp the gifts from the flotsam of the tropical ocean (and sometimes frozen), and sink the enemy ship. But in close battle, you will go into the hiding place and warehouses to the walls and bouncy grenades among other devices to clear the map or escape from the room with a new friendly crew member. Your enemy is a dieselbot engine, suggesting that they are a person who causes a pollution, but whether your Steambot runs on coal or does not seem to be resolved. It was just one of the quirky things of this fictional kingdom that continued to spread a surprising number of genres. I still hold Steamworld Dig 2 my favorite in Se -Ri – a game and a great game – but this pirate robe is very close.
Still awakened
Still awakened Deep with extremely good voice acting. Scotland’s highlights in video games are often included in the dwarf or accompanied by Irish voices to compensate for the shortage in the people of Vikingesque. But here, we were treated with a Seam of Scotland oil rigs struggling against a horror of monster meat that none of them could understand. As a game, it is the first corridor to be polished, cinema, with some classic hiding from monsters and environmental riddles will not tax you too much. But in terms of atmosphere, it is a job of careful ingenuity. Rain and other weather effects make each journey out of the deck an unpleasant, wet gloves. Each monster is a Fucked version of a crew member that you previously talked and knew (if short). And the formidable glittering substances throughout the rig will bring you into a state of continuous and low discomfort. Mechanically, nothing new about it. But it takes you through an unfamiliar environment with such details, and such a wonderful voice work that I really don’t mind.
