BrutalRoot Reviews

  Take it for what it is: 4/5                 I take a long time to write reviews. I will admit, first, I am going through the crazy backlog of games I have built over the years, second, I do not like to write a review until I fully play a game. I like to explore, do side quest, try, and collect collectibles, and, fully finish the game to where I see the credits roll, oh and third, I work a REAL job (yes, I try and do something for society). This game is a perfect example of why I like to finish games before reviewing.                 First off, I will admit, I love the theme, style, and take on what Capcom was trying to achieve in this game. The game is a team based PvP/PvE third person shooter. It is more on the PvP side while trying to finish the story in that the PvE missions, you are still competing against another team. This is ...

  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.              ...

  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 s...

  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 if for what it is: 4.5/5 I went into this game on Game Pass not expecting much. Really, I was tackling it for the daily achievement quest and to my surprise, I could not stop playing it until I finished the game. Yes, this is just a similar old school Zelda game. It is a cheesy story, and is pretty simple overall, but that is exactly what the creator was going for and they nailed it. The story has a lot of puns of current society and little jokes I was cracking up with. Gameplay was super smooth on Xbox (and even the other systems are good since I picked up on sale and going through now). The art style is unique with the veggies and fruits having their unique looks. The controls are not bad, but the dodge is a little wonky. You will get used to them but they feel a little awkward at first. There is one bug and flaw on Xbox which if you put it in quick resume, you will lose your inventory. I had to replay a little of the game because I went to the Xbox Home Menu and Xbox Stor...

Take if for what it is: 4.5/5 OK so yeah, I know the new one is coming out tomorrow, but screw it I am late to the party. I just finished this one (yes again the old one that everyone has played except me…). It is freaking awesome. An amazing experience that I really enjoyed. The game starts off with a nice intro and a story that pulls you in quickly. I do wish there was a bit more on some characters, but they were keeping it short and focused. It is still probably one of the best Star Wars stories since the Empire Strikes back. Again, my opinion here, I like all of the old ones and even prequels, but screw Disney’s new 7-9 which I just did not like, and the TV shows are meh. Just my opinions. Alright, enough of going off topic and those are for another day. This story is awesome, and I highly recommend just playing through Story mode if you just want to enjoy a good Star Wars story. The gameplay and graphics are also good for how old this game is. The controls work well too, and you f...

 PC Review (So far, have the PS3/Xbo360 will review later!) Take if for what it is: 5/5 ·    ·   Gameplay: It is still top notch and one of the best experiences I have ever had with an FPS (First Person Shooter). The controls are smooth as butter, as always for a Valve release, and the physics are amazing. Not the best of the best compared to some new titles, but overall, still an amazing experience if you are worried about how it handles. Again this is a super old game, so amazing for it’s age/during the time it came out. ·          Old school difficulty! OK, I have played on Normal and unlike new games these days, I have died a couple of times here in this game. Not overly difficult like some of the games back in the day, and I know many are going to say it is rather easy, but still, a great balance (and I suck now at games working a real J.O.B.). I say this for many games now in this generation you can push through the ent...
