Overall, the game itself is smooth enough to play but not unique or different enough to keep me engaged compared to other games in the genre.
The biggest issue I had with the game is that while fun; after about an hour or so I found my interest waning as no matter how many battles I won; a sense of repetition set in.
It’s nowhere near your modern warfare and Fallout Games we’ve all come to know and love, but if you need a break from those games and still want a challenge with a decent story, take a chance on Edna and Harvey.
The game is fun to play but does have graphics that are on the dated side but that is quickly overlooked during the fun as taking down the ghosts is always a fun experience. The biggest issue that I had was a lack of maps as after a few hours of play the game does seem a bit redundant and my upgrades really did not impact my gameplay greatly. The storyline seemed short and ended rather abruptly so hopefully more will be coming in a future update.
Gotham Knights was for me a very enjoyable adventure despite some flaws and one that I think DC fans will enjoy if they are patient and willing to overlook some of the shortcomings of the game to focus on the things it does well.
The game is a fun diversion and fun in groups and gives fans of the series the action and nostalgia they have come to expect. Some may cite a lack of initial depth to the gameplay and maps but I am sure as time goes on and more updates arrive, the game will continue to grow.
When comparing the two versions (Steam and Switch) some may feel that PC players lost out when Match of the Millennium was replaced with Crush Roller.
They fell short on a few, or a lot depending on your perspective and expectations, but I still see it as a very decent outing that shows us what this studio is capable of.
It would be nice to see more maps, characters, and some fine-tuning down the line; but for now; the game offers a pleasant enough distraction.
This game is great for a quick pick-up and play, especially if you are really into retro 2D games. But that seems to be a niche market these days.
Some may want a bit more polish especially in the graphics and online matchmaking but for what it does; Serious Sam 4 does it well and is a fun mix of modern and nostalgia that should keep fans of the series happy.
It’s not to say the game isn’t good. It’s extremely fun. It just has an extremely steep learning curve, especially when it comes to the campaign. But it does get easier. Not easy, just easier.
Samurai Shodown continues in a long line of fantastic fighting games. While it may not have all the advancements of other fighting series, it continues to excel as an excellent addition to the franchise. After playing on my PC with my handy Xbox One controller, I decided that the next step is to play this on my AtGames Legends Ultimate cabinet. Playing an arcade fighting game on my own home arcade system is the icing on the cake. If you are looking for an excellent fighting game, with colorful characters, and fun environments then Samurai Shodown may be right up your alley.
While the new maps are fun, they really do not offer anything radically different but do extend the life of the game. For me, the Zombie mode is what makes this a must own as it continues to be the best overall Zombie experience in any of the COD games.
The only gripe I really had beyond the rough UI was the sound. I’m completely okay with a game that looks and sounds like a late-90’s dungeon crawler, but some of the sound felt really out of place, or like the waveforms were distorted.
Rocketbirds 2 is a surprisingly good, bloody, well-stylized time.
My only real concern was the length of the game as with six levels of play; the game can be completed in a short time as most levels only take 15-30 minutes at most for players to complete.
While Multiplayer would have been fun as Co-Op and other modes would add to the experience; the retro action brought plenty of enjoyment.
While it is definitely a casual game it is a very enjoyable way to pass the time with friends or by yourself as well as the enjoyable cast of cats.
While the challenge may not be enough for seasoned gamers; the charming world and characters are engaging and keep you coming back.
