Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) Review

Image
Among the things I like in  Star Wars Outlaws is the world-building, an intricate and interwoven tapestry drawing heavily on the vast Star Wars lore. The story takes place between  the events of The Empire is Striking Back in the series and  Return of the Jedi . A time that is filled with conflict and tension, as well as the ever-increasing pressure that is the Empire. The period was explored through a range of different media but  Star Wars Outlaws explores the dark side, which is a part of the galaxy that is often hinted at, yet rarely thought about. Seamless World-Building: The Fascinating Star Wars Universe Star Wars Outlaws is much more than an innovative entry into the world of gaming and a celebration of the intricate story that has formed this Star Wars universe for over forty years. It is a new game for players and fans of the universe who buy PS5 games when they come out, even if they are a little on the expensive side. This game is for Star Wars enthusiasts and lore e

The Enduring Appeal of Hot Wheels Unleashed

Image
Hot Wheels Unleashed is an incredible game that understands its target demographic while providing something for all gamers - children looking for fast-paced fun, adults searching for nostalgia from childhood, or gamers looking for new challenges will all find something here that interests them. But not without its flaws; microtransactions and accessibility gaps remind us there's room for improvement but when all comes together it is difficult not to become immersed in the moment as you drift around corners feeling wind-blown hair flying and the finish line close at hand; gaming at its finest? A Game that Offers Simple, Even Childish, Fun Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is an immersive narrative experience that forces you to reconsider everything you thought you knew about the Lands Between. Diving deep into this expansion means more than simply fighting monsters or collecting loot--you are uncovering an intricate web of myth, folklore, and psychological torment. What I found

Mastering Stellar Blade

Image
Stellar Blade revolves around this concept: an epic struggle for Earth's survival through the exploration of deserted settlements and great hack-and-slash combat, while unlocking stories about past residents adds another emotional depth but without being a stand-out feature of the game. DualSense adds another element of engagement to the combat experience, as developers create a world both hauntingly beautiful, even if desolated, and rather brutal. Eve and her interactions with other survivors create a deep sense of immersion which allows players to connect more deeply with both the storyline and its characters. Eve forms bonds with humanity's remaining members, creating camaraderie and shared purpose without romantic attachments, which is rather disappointing. Deep and Exciting Soulslike Combat The Sekiro-like combat is the star of Stellar Blade: not innovative but very good for a Soulslike game. There are many moves and combinations, for example, landing critical hits adds

Hot Wheels Unleashed: Unleashing Childhood Dreams

Image
As I opened Hot Wheels Unleashed for the first time, a strong sense of deja vu quickly came over me. Not just another racing game--this was like going back in time; transporting me back to a world filled with plastic tracks and die-cast cars that defined my childhood in London. Something about those little cars made time stand still so when I found myself gripping my controller in anticipation of racing through loops and jumps defying gravity I couldn't help but smile; not only was this not about speed but rediscovering an aspect of myself I thought long gone back into hiding again! Speed, Fun, Simple Controls,... Simple Exhilarating Hot Wheels Unleashed is, at its core, a racing game designed to celebrate the pure, unadulterated pleasure of competition. No fighting, no complex power-ups; simply the thrill of competition! No combat; only speed! Each turn in this exhilarating racing adventure propels players closer and closer towards speed; each twist and turn pushing players onwa

Blue Dragon: A Reevaluation

Image
Akira Toriyama's artwork can be found across legendary manga and anime series like Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, and Chrono Trigger as well as lesser-known JRPG Blue Dragon, often outshone by more popular titles in its genre such as Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, though, Blue Dragon often finds itself overshadowed by other more well-known titles in its field and even if it is understandable from a historical point of view that tries to explain the events of that time, it should be revisited and reevaluated by today's players. One thing is certain: unappreciated, though enjoyable nevertheless, Blue Dragon is not the first choice when we are thinking of Toriyama's work. So why should we bother with this game now? It is a prime example of an overlooked video game, a game that had some bad luck to be caught in the events of that time, and a game that deserves better. Enjoyable but Without Narrative Depth Let's start with the artwork: needless to say, Toriyama's mark on Blue Dra
