Surviving the Aftermath Review

 Take if for what it is: 4.5/5

Overall, if you have played a paradox building type of game (Surviving Mars, Cities Skylines, etc) then you will be somewhat familiar with this one. It is their take on surviving the apocalypse with the mechanics/gameplay of Cities Skylines. It is simple to pick up and has enough depth to keep you busy for learning/mastering it.

There are many types of buildings to construct, a large map to explore, and interactive enemies and random events to make decisions on. The game also has random apocalyptic events like meteorites, plague, ice storms and others.

I also love the controller layouts of Paradox games. I mostly play with the controller with it being more comfortable and ergonomic, but the keyboard and mouse work great too. Always amazing controls with the controller on Paradox games where after an hour or so it will be effortless.

The only thing I would recommend would be better graphics, more variety of animations, building designs, and a few more random events for villagers.

I really enjoy paradox simulation games and I have played countless hours on the console and really enjoying it on PC too. I highly recommend if you have enjoyed other Paradox games like Cities and Surviving Mars.

Space Marine 2 Review

 Take if for what it is: 3.5/5 This is another live service game. This is a difficult review for me since I love Space Marine and Space Marine 2 is an awesome game with Titus (one of my favorite protagonists), however, I have to be honest with this one at the same time. It also started out rough being more of a grind even on normal difficulty. It has gotten better and the story/single player campaign is still worthy of a playthrough. However, it is like Helldivers, Diablo IV and other live service games. The game can change at anytime and any moment. Right now, they decreased the grind and made it more bearable compared to before when it first released. It is another issue/problem with these live service games. They can be great or bad within just one-two weeks. I am putting this right here since it needs to be known about this game being more of a live service game than a single player/split multiplayer game like the original. I personally enjoy going through the single play...

RoboCop: Rogue City Review

  Take if for what it is: 4/5 PC, 4.5 on consoles               This game you feel like RoboCop. That is mostly the review right there! However, there are some issues I had while playing the game that kept it from being a 5/5. Let’s start with all of the positives this game has going for it, which are many!               The story is awesome! It feels like it was done with the original writers of RoboCop 1 and 2 movies. You can take the story and characters and feel they are right at home in the RoboCop universe. The controls are spot on too and you feel like a walking giant stomping around the city and move like you’re about to bring scumbags to justice! The shooting is on point, and I love the few abilities you have that really make this game feel like this small developer team put all of their hearts and soul into it. It is also incredible this sm...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Review

  Take if for what it is: 4/5 A little janky and controller dead zones are being worked right now by the developer. However, if you can get by this, the game itself is amazing. I did not finish the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. back in the day but I still loved it. I went to MP gaming for a bit and never went back to it but once I saw the trailer to this game I knew I wanted to play it as soon as it was released. I knew it was going to have tons of bugs being such a large story driven open-world, but I am still enjoying it! The characters, the world, the enemies, everything in it is created and fine-tuned with a team that is passionate about the series and that they were able to finish this while being at war with Russia is just incredible. The PC edition and the Xbox edition have been running fine for me besides some performance issues which the dev has already started to fix. Again, wait to buy if you prefer to have a fully polished game or have a low-end PC since it does require...
