Chernobylite: Navigating the Exclusion Zone

Image
Chernobylite takes us on the role of a physicist, an ex-worker at Chernobyl Power Plant. Chernobyl Power Plant which is known as Igor. The man returns to Chernobyl to investigate the fate of his fiancée who disappeared in mysterious circumstances, 30 years ago. Igor is forced to enter Chernobyl's Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to discover answers, only to find that his quest is interrupted by the Black Stalker who kills one of those on his squad which leaves Igor with no option other than to escape by using his portal gun that is powered with the super-spy crystal that is known as the infamous Chernobylite. Chernobylite: A Feast for the Senses Chernobylite's atmosphere is its own character. Farm 51 has skillfully recreated the real-life Chernobyl Exclusion Zone with haunted abandoned buildings and overgrown vegetation; plus radiation levels that remain ever present despite ongoing cleanup operations. Yet I still believe Chernobylite evokes the beauty of an abandoned wasteland that ...

The Outlast Trials: A Brutal, Challenging Experience

Image
In an age pervaded with multiplayer titles, finding one that truly captures the essence of fun and has a price tag that will not break the bank can be rare... but once in a while, such a title comes out.

3 Video Games That Are Better Than Others

Image
Today I will pass my recommendation on a few games that I enjoyed lately. It is an eclectic list, short, and personal. I hope that you will find something interesting as I go beyond the beaten path of "normal" reviews, striving to provide insight from my perspective. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown I am a nostalgic fan of Prince of Persia, a game with whom I had a great relationship since the first release when I had much more hair on my head. I was under the impression that the days of glory were gone for this franchise but here comes "The Lost Crown". For the kind of game it is, largely an action-adventure title, this is an impressive release. If you're a fan of the franchise, you must  buy Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown . Many aspects are positive, but I will focus on one in particular. I'll say "combat is key" in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, but fails to deliver on that promise. Here's a breakdown of why combat might be important ...

The Outlast Trials Not for the Faint-Hearted

Image
Let's be honest: The Outlast Trials seemed like a recipe for disaster at first. Converting single-player terror of previous Outlast games into the multiplayer format? What the hack is that? It seems q strange idea, anyway... not that used. So, I wasn't sure it could work... But those crazy Canadians at Red Barrels pulled it off brilliantly! I have yet to have another "bad dream." The game is available for all platforms, my review is for the Xbox Series X version (that is not different, as far as I've seen, of the PS5 one). It could be played single-player and multiplayer, and the latter one is something else! A Disturbing Experience Whether Single-Player or Multiplayer Sure, there's the solo experience available here, too - but the game truly shines with multiple friends playing alongside one another. No matter why you  buy The Outlast Trials , to enjoy alone or go through the experience with others, it is worth it! Imagine being thrust into an experimental ...

Infinite Wealth: The "Like a Dragon" Saga Continues

Image
It's been nearly two decades since the debut of the original Like A Dragon in Japan. In that time, Kazuma Kiryu has endured being falsely accused of murder, managed an orphanage, faced off against tigers in combat, belted out karaoke tunes like a seasoned Vegas reveler, and solidified his status as a yakuza icon. Initially following an incremental approach, each subsequent installment of the series added layers to its intricate crime narrative while refining its brawler-style combat. While Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was thought to be Kiryu's farewell in 2016, the 2020 soft reboot, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, shifted gears by introducing a new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, and adopting a turn-based RPG format. Despite this evolution, eight years post-Yakuza 6, with a cameo in Like A Dragon and a spin-off delving into Kiryu's ongoing saga, he remains a prominent figure. The game begins several years after the events of Yakuza: Like A Dragon. With the dissolution of the two major ...
