BrutalRoot Reviews

  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...

  Take it for what it is: 3.5/5             So I loved AC: Origins. I love a new take on a series and like it when developers take risks and do something different. I am actually enjoying the AC RPG trilogy and about to start Valhalla after this. I always encourage devs to take chances and try different things. This game I do however have mixed feelings on.             Most of my time, I enjoyed it. It is similar to Origins with the RPG mechanics. Way more grindy than Origins though, but I understand why because of their gear and abilities design. If you truly play this like an RPG it is not a bad experience. The gear and abilities can be tweaked to where you can feel like your character can be changed according to your playstyle.             The biggest gripe I do have with this, is the amount of quest that are...

Take it for what it is: 4/5 As always, go somewhere else you want someone to ramble on forever about how awesome things are. ·          Pros o    Gameplay : OK, if you have played every Diablo 3, nothing much new here, same amazing gameplay (after the Auction House of course). The gameplay is as smooth as any of the other consoles and PCs. o    Portable : Now you can play on the toilet. Yes, that is right, the best positive out of this thing, toilet play. That’s right you guys, you know you will do it, you know you will be slaying countless demons on your throne. Just get it for this reason at least. o    Decent Diablo 3 Skin : The switch itself has cool Diablo decals. It is not incredible, but it looks pretty cool. Again, a nice addition, if you don’t already have a Nintendo Switch and are a Diablo fan. o    You get everything : This is the complete Diablo 3 package. You get everything Diabl...

                  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.
