Scorn Review

 

Take it for what it is: 4.5/5

                This game I was anticipating for a while. When I first saw the teaser back during one of the Xbox showcases, I thought it was a new Alien game set in the Alien universe. However, upon learning more and seeing more gameplay trailers, I saw it was a new IP based on the H. R. Geiger artist who inspired the Alien themes.

                Now, I was somewhat confused about the gameplay at first. It starts weirdly (like anything in this game is normal) and I was confused on what to do. However, I slowly started to work my way around the environment, playing with the controls on the controller and started to get immersed within this strange world. I will admit, this game is not an open-world RPG/action fest. It is more like Myst (which I will beat one of these days) with some light run and shoot gameplay.

                The puzzles and environments are amazing. I know some thought the puzzles too simple, but I suck at puzzles and they were interesting and challenging for me. I am sure if you play crazy puzzle games all the time you will probably have an easier time.

                The combat however is different. There are different enemies that you need to learn how they attack and fight. You are slow and clunky at combat, but this was their design decision. I appreciate this run and shoot type gameplay that I started to get used to over time. It can be slightly clunky at certain points, but overall you will adjust if you practice.

                Overall, the game is a true gem in my book. People complain it is confusing, short, clunky etc., but I am taking the game for what the game designers wanted to achieve. It is a unique new crazy world with a Myst type environment and feel. I really did enjoy my time with this and highly recommend anyone interested in the trailers/gameplay on twitch to check it out.

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...
