Death Stranding Review

 

Take it for what it is: 4.5/5

                Writing another review late, but this game is amazing. It is a walking simulator where you are a UPS/USPS delivery guy. Yes, that is it. What you have seen in the game play trailers is what you get. There are some minor combat sequences and stealth action, but most of it is a walking experience.

                The story is good, but as any Kojmia game, it is weird and convoluted. Really, if you have played any Kojima game, you know what you will be getting here. The acting is amazing, the scenes are beautifully directed, and the score is amazing. When it comes to storytelling Kojima is one of my favorite game directors. Again, if you do not care for his prior games, then you will not care for this.

                The gameplay is exactly what I said above. Really, there is not much else to it. It does become more man vs nature and you will have to strategize a bit on your load outs, but overall, it is deliver package from point A to point B. I am not going to cookie cutter this and drag this out. It is still addictive, and I was not sure what I would expect at first. After playing for an hour or two I could not put it down and like Civilization one more turn game play, this turned into one more delivery!

                A final feature is the multiplayer aspect. This is a different take on MP than you have seen before. Most of it is you and other players building the world together to help each other out. It is well done, and I will admit, it is amazing it exists. How they pulled this off is amazing. You set up a bridge, someone comes behind you and upgrades it. You see a zip-line route un-finished; you can help finish it. Need a ladder? Set one up and others will also use this same ladder in their game. Truly, this is an awesome MP experience in people you will never see online will be helping you.

                Overall, this game is a true gem. It has been out for a while, but if it looks interesting to you, and you’re a fan of Kojima’s works or want to try it, you should try it out and pick it up. I have 100% it on PlayStation and even got the platinum trophy I loved it so much. Again, go buy this if you want to give it a shot!

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...
