Watcher Of Samsara (Review)

-
Image
General Watcher of Samsara is a custom map in Dota 2, it is also a game where I've spent quite some time recently on, at its core, Watcher Of Samsara is a Tower Defense game, but what makes it so special is that it requires the players to have some degree of basic knowledge of the Dota 2 to succeed, due to the fact that the game builds upon Dota 2 hero units and items mostly from Dota 2. So, if you like Dota 2, this is a great TD, but if you're unfamiliar with Dota 2, you might need to take some time to familiarize yourself with the heroes and items. Gameplay In essence, Watcher of Samsara is a Tower Defense game, which you have to build an assortment of towers to prevent the creep count on the map from exceeding a certain threshold. The units are categorized into different rarity: N, R, SR and SSR,which is quite a unique approach in the TD genre, because TD games usually only require you to be familiar with the unit types and tower types to achieve success but Watc...

Ryse: Son of Rome, Play as a Roman Soldier!   Ryse: Son of Rome is a hack & slash game where you play as a Roman soldier, it is pretty story-focused and linear, but the story could be quite confusing as it is told, and there really isn’t much that will stick as the story goes. So, it is actually a pretty bare bones game, not gonna be worth It at the full price, but at its current price, it is definitely worth a buy.

Nioh, souls-like game with samurai and ninja (Review)

Environment The game is mostly set in a fantasy version of Feudal Japan, with demons and monsters roaming everywhere, the game takes on a dark and eerie vibe, not unlike the SoulsBorne games, and it does a very good job of delivering the dark beauty of the world that it is in. The ambiance is nice and enemies always seem to fit right into the maps, making it an enjoyable game to walk around in....when you're not being killed by the monsters, lol.  Gameplay Nioh is definitely a content packed game with a variety of weapons types, skill trees and guardian spirits that you can choose from to cater to your playstyle. In terms of weapons, there are swords, dual swords, axes, spears, Kusarigama, Odachi and Tonfa, all of them have their unique skill trees and provide you with quite a different playstyle, but from what I've played, I feel like sword is the most versatile for me. The mechanics I think were great are the Ninja skills and Onmyo skils, Ninja skills are tru...
