Astro Bot: A Tale of Love and Nostalgia Dedicated to PlayStation Users

Image
Recall the Times of PlayStation Astro Bot goes beyond being simply a game; to me, it is a magical nostalgia-filled journey and one of the most captivating platforming titles I have played. On top of everything, it serves as an utterly immersive experience. For a PlayStation user like myself, who has witnessed everything, ranging from the blocky polygons of the PS1 timeframe to today's stunning marvels, Astro Bot feels like a gentle embrace from Sony themselves. For all of us who remember meticulously saving up for memory cards and spending hours blowing imaginary dust out of game discs, the title has levels and animations alongside vibrations of the DualSense controller that feel like they were designed specifically as a dedication to us. The Power of DualSense: You Can Feel the Adventure Through the Journey Astro Bot not only makes use of the DualSense controller, but it also goes all out in celebrating it. The haptic feedback of DualSense has a role to play in immersion, and i...

Katana Zero - a retro 2D platform

Image
Katana ZERO is one of the best platform games for PC and Xbox One. This is an absolute delight for fans of the genre who will enjoy the beautiful graphics, smooth gameplay, and retro vibe. It s a game that was always (since it was released in 2019) on the top lists. In fact, you can check out our list of best Xbox games and compare it with other games of its kind. Do not let yourself be fooled by the old-school graphics, it is by design. You will have to judge the game for what it is. It will be absurd to compare it with new or AAA games that run on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. This is a retro 2D scrolling strategy platform hack-and-slash game for nostalgic fellows. Your ability to rewind time isn't just an arbitrary auto mechanic, but ruminatively justified, and you discover components of the Dragon's backstory via recurring visits to your therapist and goal giver, during conversations with your neighbors, and in your hopes and dreams. A vital influence was Samurai Gunn (2013), w...

Oddworld Soulstorm - great fun platformer

Image
Oddworld Soulstorm is a beautiful and challenging, probably one of the best platformer games in the recent time. It is out for PS5, PC and PS4. I wasn't expecting much from Oddworld, after all it is an indie game. But I was wrong, and it is not just a great indie platform game, but a great game, period. The puzzles can be a little frustrating as they are difficult, but that's really what makes me tick. I want to continue playing because it is difficult. If you like difficult games, than you will like this one. It reminds me of some very old games I played when I was young, like Lemmings on Spectrum (yeah, I am that old!). Among the new PS5 games out there, Oddworld Soulstorm is a nice option. Oddworld Soulstorm has amazing graphics Oddworld Soulstorm is looking great. From beautiful cutscenes to stunning environments, Soulstorm is a sight to behold. Better platforming and contemporary touches create this reimagining of Abe's Exodus truly exceptional.  Soulstorm choose...

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Review - Insanely fun

Image
There's a level in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (which is out now on PS4 and Xbox One) that almost broke my will to go on. It was Cortex Castle, the next-to-last level, which should give you an indication of how far this console game pushed me to the brink. If you are the type of person who wants something relaxing to play after work, or favors the storyline experience within the gameplay experience, this game is a hard sell. But I say that ironically, as a gamer who typically fits into both of those categories, I stuck it out and endured countless losses to my eventual satisfaction. When speaking about Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time we've gotta begin with what jumps right off the screen and hits you : it's visuals. Crash Bandicoot was one of those first icons of the 3D era of gaming. Made famous by a series of hits for the PlayStation One, he went dormant as platforming titles dropped off in popularity. But with a recent resurgence coming together with t...

3 Top Games for Children

Spyro Reignited Trilogy Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a remaster of the first Spyro trilogy made by Insomniac Games for the PlayStation: Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Every game is a 3D platformer featuring the titular protagonist, a juvenile purple dragon named Spyro, as he attempts to restore peace in a pair of worlds unique to each videogame by vanquishing enemies. Spyro's sidekick, a dragonfly called Sparx, acts as his health, defending him from a restricted number of enemy attacks. Moreover, the games feature a number of collectibles which has to be acquired to make progress, like gems, which also act as currency, and dragon eggs. Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a video game to be considered as a reworking of the original console games. The work done by the development group is commendable, but they not only recreated the stories of the American team with a new appearance, but they also enriched them in particulars and in the drama. Ins...
