The game has a deeply rich; and colourful aesthetic, and the controls are super simple. You control several discs to line up coloured points to remove them from the screen; you do this until the screen; is overcome with points, and it's game over! The more points you remove, the more you score.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You chain multiple lines if you are lucky enough. Powerups such as rewinds, rainbows, and bombs add other strategic elements to consider when playing; these help you eek an extra few points in that round. A rich soundtrack and sound effects do lift the game and add more depth. Like any game, there are a host of achievements to get while you get that highest score, and you can challenge your friends too.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Like any smartphone game, it's intuitive, super fun and simple to pick up and play. You will spend countless hours trying to get the highest score and climb up the scoreboard. The simple nature hides an elegant game that is tough to master but super enjoyable!<\/span><\/p>\n

Available on the iOS store for $1.99 USD \/ \u00a31.79 GBP, no adverts and no in-app purchases too! It's multi-lingual, supporting more than 20 languages.<\/span><\/p>\n

A family consisting of a man, woman, child and dog are chilling at home one night. Having their whole life turned upside down by a series of strange events where aliens descend from the sky. Destruction, weirdness, and an unpredictable world are where you start on this journey. The man is left; with his dog in search of the woman and child.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game has a dark Sci-Fi atmospheric environment quality throughout. It has this beautiful film quality to it; the wonderful dark world is lit up with the odd spaceship, lamp, or hanging light. These glimmers of light in the world; ratchet up the tension in the world. It gives a wonderful; sense of being in this crazy world where you know very little.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEvery event, explosion, and alien encounter is pronounced by the score. It's on purpose that you know very little, there is no real; narration of what is going on, and it's a journey of exploration. You just navigate areas where you figure out the path by trial and error; you must figure it out all with little to no hints. For me, some narration and some; feedback apart from dying would have enhanced the game. It's too mysterious for its own good, which is a shame.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI love the straightforward controls, it takes little to navigate and control the character, and it's responsive too. You come to an area and solve a variety of puzzles to progress to the next area. The art direction is wonderful; I love the indie genre for pushing gaming into new avenues and trying to explore gaming. Games aren't as cookie-cutter as they used to be. There are lots to like in this game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game does lack some key, narration and feedback that will; just enhance the whole gaming experience. I felt some narration or some story would have helped immensely. At times I felt some narration or some story would have helped immensely. At times I felt lost, and that was an issue when it happened over and over again. It's beautifully designed, and the gameplay is fun, but the lack of story \/ cohesive narrative is the main issue I had with the game. I love the idea of lacking narration in a puzzle adventure game and enjoyed lots of the gameplay.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Somerville Review","post_excerpt":"Mysterious action-adventure ","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"somerville-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:50:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:50:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=208867","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":208721,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2022-11-03 16:02:58","post_date_gmt":"2022-11-03 16:02:58","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Santa Monica Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5 (Reviewed)<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action, Adventure, RPG\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Sony Interactive Entertainment<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nGod of War Ragnar\u00f6k is the highly anticipated follow-up to the much-acclaimed God of War, released in 2018. God of War Ragnar\u00f6k continues from the last game, where you are immersed in the immersive story of Kratos and Atreus. For those who haven't played God of War or can't remember the plot from the last game, a handy recap gives you an overview of the last; game which was much needed by me.<\/span>\r\n\r\nRagnar\u00f6k on the PS5 does utilise the power of the console, and from the first action, you see the world of God of War in stunning detail from the characters, level design, enemies, and surroundings are precise and pristine. It takes your breath away, and throughout the, entirety of the game, you are surprised and just in awe of the fantastic screenshot-laden game. I mean, the first impressions do; set the tone for the whole game, and it doesn't disappoint. It's very hard; to find any visual defects in the game; the landscapes and the variety of environments are stunning. I loved the transition from dark colosseum-like structures to open-world beaches, underwater levels, and much more. The game seamlessly brings the player through the story to playable parts, the game has a more immersive feel, and you feel a part of the story.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe cinematics throughout the game is further enhanced by the wonderful music score and sound effects. The superb music enhances every boss fight and cinematic piece. This is enhanced through the controller's haptic feedback, thinking of extra texture throughout the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGameplay centres on using Kratos in this sandboxed environment which isn't an open world. This, means that levels are very structured, and God of War has made intricate levels that are wonderful to explore and find things. Levels are even more intriguing when you must use Atreus and work as a team to solve puzzles and progress further in the world. I didn't feel burdened and bored at any point when doing missions or side missions which just; made the game more enjoyable.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou can build your skill tree and upgrade your armour and weapons to customise; to your play style. The combat is superb; levelling up helps you get additional combos and move sets.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe weapon choices do give a richer; and deeper gameplay feel. Each weapon will affect how you play and how you level it up. I loved the diverse power-up options. The shields are intriguing; some shields are designed as big huge shields that; block, whereas others are more nimble and rely on parries.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBoss fights add another depth to the gameplay; you fight a mixture of Gods, Creatures, and the undead. Each boss battle requires you to approach the fight strategically, and button-bashing won't help! Some of the bosses are huge and impressive in scale. The mini-bosses and random bosses appear throughout the exploration of the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGame Length and playtime will be up to 40 hours, but this really depends on how many of the side quests; and if you decide to collect every trinket in the game. This, is a ballpark figure, and if you are taking your time as I did, it's easily a much longer and richer experience. There is a real timeless quality to the exploration in the game; it never seems like a chore; this includes the side missions. The side missions are as rewarding and interesting as the main missions too!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGraphic Fidelity Modes:<\/span>\r\n\r\nResolution mode: 4k @ 30 FPS<\/span>\r\n\r\nPerformance mode: 60 FPS<\/span>\r\n\r\nPerformance Mode with High Frame Rate: 4k @ 40 FPS<\/span>\r\n\r\nFrame Rate Mode: 120 FPS<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's hard to find a more complete game in terms of gameplay, storytelling, and just all-out fun. It stays faithful to the storytelling and general awesomeness of God of War (2018) but is bigger, bolder and; is a beautiful next step in the journey of God of War. God of Ragnar\u00f6k has this wonderful cinematic element that underpins the entire game, the transitions from a narrative-based story to solving puzzles and ultimately beating huge enemies. The game has this beautiful flow, and I ended up losing hours in the game where I was so immersed that I didn't feel the time go by. Ragnar\u00f6k achieves this wonderful timeless immersion through fantastic level design, great storytelling, believable characters, stunning visuals, and amazing action rolled into one. The buddy team of Kratos and Atreus just makes the story and gameplay more involved to the player without making it seem like a standalone one-player.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","post_title":"God of War Ragnar\u00f6k Review","post_excerpt":"Set out on an epic journey","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"god-of-war-ragnarok-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:50:25","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:50:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=208721","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":208624,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2022-10-14 14:41:48","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-14 13:41:48","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> You Will Get There<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatform:<\/strong> PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> You Will Get There<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nI have been lucky to play a whole host of beautiful indie games this year. Somber is the latest interesting indie game that; is full of intrigue and wonder. Somber isn't truly an open-world game; it's an action platformer that is hand-painted, which gives a beautifully unique art style.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game makes wonderful use of lighting and 2D backgrounds to give a 3D sense to the world. Each level in the map has its own theme and lighting; you go from chamber to chamber, solving puzzles to keys, to unlock other areas in the game. You take the role of this little creature who zips across the landscape; you are a dark cloud with an eye in essence. This puffy cloud is just travelling this dark terrain, trying to help anyone in your path.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe gameplay consists of distinct rooms that are interconnected; in some instances, there are multiple entry\/exit points for the rooms. Each room will have its own unique puzzle to solve, power-ups to collect and new mechanics to discover. I loved the puzzles, everything from the simple well thought puzzles to be solved; the game lends itself to this dark, mysterious world where so much is known. As you progress through levels, more of the story and what happens to unfold. The platforming elements scale in difficulty as your progress; and chain what you have learned throughout the<\/span> game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe graphics and presentation are wonderful; every sprite and character is stunningly animated. The world meshes the background, enemies and the player in this gloomy dark atmospheric environment that needs to be explored and enjoyed. A wonderful, sombre music score is present throughout, adding to the tension and unease of the world. It's wonderfully presented, and the sound quality is superb.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe 2D indie platformer puzzle game has really pushed boundaries in terms of game and level design, using layering, lighting, and sound to build a tense but wonderful environment. The game is pure fun, and I was glued to it. Playing on the Steamdeck was a bonus too. Solid gameplay and game design make for a fantastic adventure.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Somber Review","post_excerpt":"Platformer puzzle","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"somber-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:51:07","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:51:07","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=208624","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":208607,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2022-10-10 16:54:45","post_date_gmt":"2022-10-10 15:54:45","post_content":"\r\n

The football (soccer) season is in full swing in Europe, and this means the next version of FIFA. FIFA 23 will be on the mind of footie fans throughout the world. FIFA is the quintessential football game these days; there isn't any competition at the moment. However, being the go-to football game isn't the blessing it once was, and in this iteration, it's hard to see where, improvements can be made until a rebuild takes place. As a football fan, I do; look forward to seeing what FIFA brings, but there has been a small iterative update each year as opposed to a revolution. As with any football game, people want the latest team updates for their favourite teams. This is also the last outing of the current FIFA franchise from EA, as the branding rights no longer belong to E<\/span>A.<\/p>\r\n

The game changer for me is the Hypermotion2 technology which gives an additional sense of realism to an already super realistic game. The player animations and visual fidelity are superb. Players seem to run more fluidly, and the interaction and jostling are even more realistic. A lot of these minor tweaks have enhanced the game. The player AI is solid, and the various levels of the challenge will give everyone something. Every level of player is catered for.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

There is a sleeker ball control mechanic and player animations, there does seem to be better team AI, and the game does have a solid flow. Players and their likenesses are captured with amazing detail. In general, game mechanics are improved, but there are no massive overhauls; the game does play better and is more responsive.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I mean, the presentation on FIFA has never been an issue, but it's been improved even more. FIFA 23 has cross-play enabled, too, so you can play with friends on the same generation of consoles, i.e. Playstation 4 can play Xbox One players and so on.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Women's club teams have been added as well, increasing the playable teams significantly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The usuals can be expected: the UI is polished, and the presentation is superb, every; element from icons to players has the FIFA polish. A banging soundtrack has been included.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In reality, it's difficult to feel all these elements straight off in your first few games. Online games and matchmaking are superb; the net code means finding games is easy, and there are very few issues when games are being played. I spend the majority of my time playing Seasons or Volta online, so; I would notice this.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

FIFA is all about licences, and they are all there for your favourite and despised teams alike. The licences are another standout feature that means people come back to FIFA<\/span>.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

FIFA is stacked with game modes such as Career Mode, Pro Clubs, Volta, Online Modes and FUT, just to mention a few of the most popular ones. I can't do them all justice in the one review, but the game is packed to the seams.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The last incarnation of FIFA, FIFA 23, is graphically stunning and brings the up-to-date rosters to everyone. The Hypermotion2 technology has brought on visual fidelity in leaps and bounds, the game; just is smoother. The game is more of a simulation football game than in previous versions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

The addition of xG and enhanced replays is super slick and makes reliving your goals even more amazing. Cross-play is a huge bonus. Also, the introduction of women's club teams too. The game plays more like a simulation with tons of modes, including an online, career mode and ultimate team too, which will keep you more than occupied.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It's a solid send-off to the biggest football game of our generation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

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