Assassin’s Creed Origins Review

               Take it for what it is: 4/5

    I played this in 2020 on Xbox, in 2021 on PS, and replaying it on PC in 2022. It is an older game and plays well across all systems I have played it on. I enjoy this game, and I love the Egyptian themes.
    It is a different type of AC game, though. It is an action RPG game now instead of a regular action adventure. You level up, gain abilities, and get more potent weapons and shields. Yes, there are many checklists on the map, but I mostly played through the side-quest and the main story. I did knock out quite a few map sections, but I did not do everything in the game. The combat is simple, with dodges and blocks and parries. You unlock more as you progress throughout the game, but it does not change much.
    The game is not perfect, and it is not one of the best AC games ever, but a good one. Feel free to check out gameplay videos and see if it interest you. I always try and take games for what they are and not what I believe I want them to be. For what it is, it is a good open-world RPG that you can get some enjoyment out of if you enjoy these types of games.

Killing Floor 2 Review

  Take if for what it is: 5/5 One of the most underrated multiplayer games out there. I will admit, Helldivers 2 made me go back to this game again, and this game is an absolute blast! The devs always add new content that keep this game fresh. This game still plays like old school co-op games. Hop in, blow some shit up, and have a blast doing it! Unlike Helldivers and other co-op games with no PvP at all and continual nerfs, KF2 devs just keep making the game fun and everyone is overpowered/a blast to play. Higher difficulties get tough, but again, the main game can fully be enjoyed without ever even touching a suicide difficulty level. The developers truly keep this as a co-op game that is about hopping in with friends or random people and having fun killing stuff. With all of the classes, levels, secrets, and tons of other content. Too many companies are making PvE co-op games competitive and lose the aspect of enjoyment in a PvE game. This one has the developers always del...

Helldivers II Review

Take if for what it is: 3/5 The game is OK now, but still not fun for me anymore. Many people still love it and I have friends who love playing it, but it is too much of a time investment and grind/work for me. To each their own and buy it at your own risk. Again, this is a live service game so take that into consideration and know Sony and other live service companies are trying to get you to spend your life playing these games. It is OK and being a former WoW player they are great at times, but right now, it is not for me. I still prefer Back 4 Blood, L4D, Aliens Fireteams, KF2 and others I can hop in, kill stuff, and then leave. They do not have the content these full live service games have, but again, you can hop in them, and then bounce and do not need to play 10-20 hours a week to keep up. It reminds me of Outriders. When it released, it was pretty awesome and then the devs started to cater to the streamers and people who spend 5-10 hours a day playing the same game over and ove...

Dragon Age: The Veilguard

  Take it for what it is: 4/5             I apologize, this is a longer review than my others. I will start off saying I love Dragon Age games. This one I was skeptical about. With the new art style, the story, and especially the gameplay, I was not sure. Then I started to see other reviews out there shitting on it or praising it. I decided to give it a shot and play it myself. I first picked up on Xbox and I was shocked at how much I started to like the new art style, story and game engine. I ended up picking it up on Steam too since Digital Foundry praised its optimization. Everyone is trying to compare this to BG3, which is OK, but it is a completely different type of game. BG3 is turn based D&D choose your own adventure type, this is more like the new Square’s linear Final Fantasy action RPG games. Combat is an action-focused game with spells and abilities you can choose on the fly (I play on the controller and love...
