Pros: + Fluid Combat + Easy to learn gameplay + A wide variety of characters to choose from + Managed to make quick time events good Cons: - Not a lot of single player content - Characters are not really well balanced  Graphics: 8/10 Gameplay: 7/10 Overall: 8/10 Overall a pretty solid fighting game, it's a satisfying final installment for the Naruto Storm franchise. Fun for the whole family, except when someone picks a character to spam skills, like Tenten or Shisui, yeah, then you'll have to look out of flying controllers. Read the full review here

Ninja brawl! Naruto Shippuden Storm 4 (review)

Image
General flow Naruto Shippuden Storm 4 did away with most everything that is not combat, there are no RPG elements, no exploration or anything much, even the story's told through fights and quick-time events, so it's a very simple game. Even so, the game works, because the cast is the renowned ninjas of the Naruto franchise after all.  Although the story is played through in an extremely bare-bones way, I feel like it still brings out a bit of the nostalgia in me, especially that one Naruto vs Sasuke fight at the end.  Gameplay The main way to experience this game is definitely with friends or family, I bought this game sole for the fact that it is a great local vs game to play on my PS4. Honestly me and my brothers had our fun on this game, the one thing I enjoyed the most, is definitely discovering special interactions and combo ultimates. And out of all the combo ultimates, I definitely like the Hokage one the most, the Hyuuga clan combo ultimate is also p...

Hitman Absolution, an absolute delight to play! (Review)

Environment The stages in this game takes puts you in all sorts of different places, Chinatown, pubs, abandoned buildings, hotels, secret underground research facilities and more! Infiltrating and killing people is quite the thrill in this game, discovering secret ways to assassinate or hidden rooms are always so exciting. Gameplay The gameplay would depend on the difficulty you choose to play on, there are 5 in total, ranging from being able to just go in guns blazing and killing everyone to needing to plan your every move carefully to prevent being killed.   I'll talk briefly about my experience where I completed the game on normal, the 2nd easiest difficulty. To put it in a few words, it was immensely fun! Although you're encouraged to keep casualties to a minimum and only killing the main targets, I found killing and eliminating threats to be a more enjoyable approach. I'd usually circle around perimeters and eliminating as many threats unseen as possib...

Pros +Great graphics +Extremely satisfying combat  +Easy to play and master Cons -Linear gameplay -Very short playtime  -Lacks enemy variety  -Story not very engaging Graphics: 8/10 Gameplay: 7/10 Overall: 7/10 A short and simple hack & slash game, if you’re looking for great variety and content, this game is not gonna be the one, but if you just want to indulge in mindless combat and executions, this game is absolutely a good one to pick up.

Ryse: Son of Rome, Play as a Roman Soldier! (Review)

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. Environment The game is very linear, so there’s actually not many places you can go to in-game, but the places that do get to walk around in looks very nice, especially right at the very start, where you are put into a crazy warzone. It just looks so overwhelmingly nice, and the parts where you run around a city killing people, yeah, the game looks very nice, it is one of its main selling points. Gameplay The gameplay itself is centered on hacking and slashing, there is little to no exploration in-game, or anything else, other than the combat, but ...
