Super Sami Roll is the wonderfully bright platform\/action game from indie developers Sonzai games. It's inspired; by a host of '80s and '90s platform games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Super Sami Roll lands somewhere in between Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball from a game mechanics perspective. You take the form of a ball that rolls through wonderfully rendered 3D worlds; each section has its theme from deserts to pyramids and a frozen world. I have to say the 3D worlds remind me of Super Mario 64, it's very reminiscent to me, but that's due to the 3D nature of the world full of bright colours and wonderful characters. The map reminds me of Super Mario 3, while the music and splash screens of the levels remind me of Sonic. The gameplay's a mix of Super Monkey Ball and Marble Madness. You guide your character through lush areas to finish the levels and face the boss. Pixel art helps to get across this picturesque world.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Each section map area has multiple levels where you will have to use your wits and skills to navigate. Game mechanics are introduced; slowly as you progress through levels to allow for some mastery before the; introduction of the next game mechanic. Game mechanics are roll, rob, jump, and grab items. The levels consist of a mix of speed runs and accuracy where you must be precise as opposed to quick; this is layered with platform pieces too. It's a healthy mix of platformer, fast action puzzler, and frantic speed runs. The difficulty can be; changed to cater for how much of a challenge you want.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

While the game is inspired; by a host of platformers and action games, there is plenty in the game that makes it unique. With the numerous game mechanics and the use of various environments, while reminiscent of a host of classic games. There are plenty of unique elements that make it stand on its own feet. You will get annoyed at the odd camera position where your; platform is obstructed by; your camera. It does have a camera issue, like most 3D platformers. The camera angles in 3D platformers have never been perfect and; this is no exception, but this is the only minor teething issue. The soundtrack, level design and sound effects all work well; it has that chaotic sense of fun.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Super Sami Roll is a bright and fun platformer action game that draws from the past but is, updated for modern gaming. It's chaotic fun with lots of ups and downs. The game has a learning curve that will require you to put in the time, which means it will be challenging but, the addition of varying difficulty means you can cater it; to your needs. I loved playing something; that isn't novel in modern games while being a homage to some classic games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The game runs at 60 FPS on the Switch. It's currently priced; at $14.99<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Overall:\u00a0<\/strong>8\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

It's an extreme sports game that is geared; towards massively multiplayer online play.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's hard to illustrate the entirety of this, huge game but it's an extreme sport adrenaline rush that takes you biking down steep mountains, skiing and snowboarding lush snow-capped mountains to using your wingsuit to fly through canyons and all the other terrains in this game. It's an extreme sports game from the comfort of your couch.The game introduction gives you a taste of each; different sport, and you are, thrown into the deep end. One minute you are biking down a canyon before grabbing a jetpack to reach a snowy peak where you snowboard down the piste. It's all a bit crazy but lots of fun.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGraphically and visually, the game is stunning, the terrain is detailed, and the action-packed game has you on a journey in these vast locations. It has that; Ubisoft polish - menu, map, character, and game type looks superb and detailed. The map is this huge; events are dotted all over the place. Events help you earn stars to unlock more game types and upgrades. At times I found the sheer number of things on the map overbearing. It was hard to discern what were events and online players. It's chaotic at times but, I assume that's what they are going for; I suppose chaotic and extreme sports go hand in hand.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEach game type (biking, snowing, skiing, wingsuit jetpack and wingsuit gliding) has its quirks and controls, which you will adapt to. I loved the wingsuit jetpack as it's something I haven't played in a sports game. It gives a wholly unique experience in this wonderfully crafted world. Primarily each game type is race-based where you aim to become the winner, which they have mixed things up by incorporating stunt-based competitions too. There is a star progression mode where you unlock more events as you complete more races\/event types. The game has a huge variety of gameplay plus it's incorporated with a massively online experience too.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nLike any modern sports game, there is a huge and wide variety of music that acts as a soundtrack to the gameplay. It's an impressive list of music that again illustrates how much thought has been put into giving the game the right vibe and feel.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game is slick from the first second you play it. The game has a clean user experience whilst maintaining a decent amount of information amongst the several game types. It's packed with lots of events and is lots of fun. If you need an adrenaline-based sports game with superb graphics; and a huge online element, this is right up your street.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOnline gameplay can handle more than 50 players; there are online leaderboards and cups. There are 6x6 team PvP matchups.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game runs at 4K 60 FPS on next-gen consoles and can support more than 50 players.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:\u00a0<\/strong>7.5\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Riders Republic Review","post_excerpt":"Open-world multiplayer sports game","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"riders-republic-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:41:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:41:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207168","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":207132,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-10-29 14:38:07","post_date_gmt":"2021-10-29 13:38:07","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Fossil Games<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatform:<\/strong> PC (Steam)<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action, RPG<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Hound Picked Games<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSunshine Manor is an 8-bit retro horror adventure from Fossil Games. It's a prequel to Camp Sunshine which was a cult hit. The game is a mix of dungeon crawler and story-driven RPG. This review is for the PC Steam version which, is available to purchase now; the console versions will be released in 2022.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSunshine Manor is a real throwback to the classic 8-bit dungeon RPG. At first, the bright and wonderfully detailed game looks fantastic and does the 8-bit genre justice. The game does have a spooky and eerie underlying theme that is ubiquitous. It's a heavily story-driven narrative that gives context to the Sunshine Manor and why you are there. You have that classic gameplay as you shift through numerous levels of the mansion. The top-down view with fantastically rendered levels gives me a sense of nostalgia but is used by many indie games still. The dungeons are detailed, and each dungeon has its theme. You play as Ada, and you have to go through a series of dungeons with clues to find out what happened in this mansion. Every dungeon, every character and every clue helps to uncover the mystery of the manor.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game has a timeless retro quality that is easy to pick up and play but has enough to keep you entertained for the duration of the game. It's dark and lots of fun; I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game is a fantastic 8-bit horror RPG that has all the great elements of a 2D game. The storyline is intriguing and adds wonderfully scary and horror themes during the game. Level design is superb and the transition between ordinary and horror levels changes the tone of the game. I loved the unexpected jump scares throughout. The dialogue is superb, and the mix of game mechanics from general dungeon crawling to boss battles adds many variations in gameplay. I love how dark and full of horror the game is. The game executes every element with fantastic detail. I also love the general retro feel of the game.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong>\u00a08\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Sunshine Manor Review","post_excerpt":"8-bit retro horror ","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sunshine-manor-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:41:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:41:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207132","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":10},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_22"};
