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

Image
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...

Be a hunter of monsters in Monster Hunter: World! (Review)

Image
Environment Monster Hunter: World is one of the most beautiful games I've seen in recent years, all of the different maps always feel so vibrant and alive when you walk around in them, the Iceborne expansion does not disappoint in this aspect of the game, the icy map Hoarfrost Reach is a magnificent addition to the New World. One can seriously get lost in the maps themselves and spend hours and hours just exploring and going around collecting materials and fishing! Fishing is definitely one of my favorite side activity to do in games, and it is in MHW, which makes me appreciate the game all the more. Not to mention the music, the music really puts you in the right mood at all times, relaxing music for exploration and upbeat music for battle! Gameplay Iceborne did not only bring in new monsters for Hoarfrost Reach, but also quite a few for the other existing maps as well, a total of 27 new, returning, sub-species and variants are added to original number of 31 ...

Horizon Zero Dawn (tl;dr review)

Image
Pros +Stunning graphics +Interesting world and good variety of biomes +Cool mech animals + Good variety of weapons Cons -Unsatisfying story  -Immense difficulty spikes -Uninspired skill tree Graphics: 9/10 Gameplay: 7/10 Overall: 7.5/10 I believe this is the best a mediocre game can get, real close, but miss the mark of a great game by a little bit, Horizon Zero Dawn is the kind of game I'd get if I had no better games to play, but even then, it would be a game worth 10-20 hours of play time.

Horizon Zero Dawn, a most stunning world to explore! (Review)

Image
Environment The game's set in a post-apocalypse earth where mech animals roam the land and metallic  ruins and abandoned buildings litter the map, and the humans set back to a more primitive time, using bows and spears as their main weapons. The map is a pretty wondrous place to explore, with a decent variety of biomes for you to walk/ride around in, and it is always a pleasant surprise to encounter newer species of mech animal. Not to mention how beautiful it always seems to look, no matter where you go, there's always gonna be a photo-worthy view! A beautiful and mysterious place that intrigues you to move forward the more you explore.  Gameplay Honestly. the game is harder than I initially thought it would be. I didn't expect to hit a speed bump on the "normal" difficulty, but I did, I died several times to the more aggressive mechs like the Snapmaws and the Bellowbacks, I swear, the Bellowbacks have such deceptive looks, they look damn weak, but t...

Pros +Engaging story lines +Easy to learn gameplay +Interesting characters Cons -Energy system that limits playtime -Need to spend money if you want cosmetic items Graphics: 8/10 Gameplay: 8/10 Overall: 8/10 A mobile game with a surprising amount of production quality, you can see the effort the producers put in, and the VAs, the vast amount of voiced  dialogues and songs are quite impressive for a game that is completely free.  See the full review here Looking for a gaming phone to play on?  Here's a great deal from Octaplus!  Get around 1.5% cashback for a  Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro
