It plays along the line of a modern Assassin's Creed game but with a heavy emphasis on puzzles. It's nowhere near a straight Assassin's Creed clone and does diverge away from AC. I was expecting something similar to AC but was pleasantly surprised.<\/span>\r\n\r\nImmortals: Fenyx Rising comes to life with a cartoon style of graphics, it's bright and wonderful, but quickly turns dark and foreboding. It alternates between both quite a bit. The stage is the age of The Greek Gods, and the game uses a voiceover of two Gods: Zeus and Prometheus to tell the tale of Fenyx and the protagonist's fight against Typhoon (deadliest Titan in Greek mythology). While there are elements of the parkour in Fenyx Rising a whole host of extra features make the gameplay vastly different from AC. This is mainly due to the sheer amount of puzzle sections on the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFirst off Fenyx possesses a host of powers and acquires extra \"Godly\" powers like flight (Wings of Daidalos) just to name one. You have the ability to run, fight, mount stead or fly through this open world that is full of mythological beasts (Cyclops, Minotaur and Medusa). Fenyx emphasises these gameplay elements throughout and there is a ton of variety. I think Fenyx comes into its own after about 3-4 hours into the game where you have levelled up sufficiently and have the broad variety of weapons and special powers to take on the vaults (dungeons). Puzzles come in the form of speed run challenges, archery puzzles and platforming puzzles too. This variety keeps you engaged. As this is an action RPG the fighting mechanics are solid and a decent levelling up system makes you do side missions too. The fighting is fun and you can chain huge combos whilst using additional God powers too.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe voice acting, visuals and level design are superb. The narration of Zeus and Prometheus is somewhat of a bad comedy duo with some Dad jokes thrown in. It's not amazingly funny but I can see the intent to lighten and narrate throughout the game. The narrative does succeed and paints a more vibrant picture of the world and mythology. The Greek mythology theme permeates the whole game and design and adds an air of authenticity to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe PS5 and Xbox Series X (I assume) support a quality mode 30 fps at 4K native and a performance mode that supports 60 fps dynamic 4K.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game plays phenomenally well once you get used to the controls and all the variety of specials you will acquire. There is a huge amount of puzzles, enemies and diversion in the world to keep you coming back. The powering up system is rich enough without being complex, it's a fun game that you will lose hours in. It's a surprising mix of puzzles merged to an open-world RPG. I have put in a lot of hours and keep coming back to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Immortals: Fenyx Rising Review","post_excerpt":"Open-world RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"immortals-fenyx-rising-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:03:21","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:03:21","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205866","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205652,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-11-18 23:05:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-18 23:05:18","post_content":"

Demon's Souls is the next-generation version and reboot built from the ground up of the PS3 classic. I'm just putting this out there, I haven't played the PS3 version, it's one of the PS consoles I didn't get. Demon's Souls is brand new to me. I don't have any nostalgic baggage of playing the game though it's considered a classic. I have played Bloodbourne though I will be my reference point for aspects of my game review. Demon's Souls is a third-person action RPG that is considered one of the hardest games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

For those familiar with the PS3 version, this game looks like a beautifully updated version of the PS3 game. I usually quickly skip through the character creation introduction, but I did spend time on it and marvelled at the rendering of the faces. The game has several classes that you can create your custom character from - Knight, Thief, Magician, and Wanderer to name a few. Gameplay involves navigating quite a linear path to kill a host of monsters. An increasing presence of demons has plagued the world and must be stopped. The game is unforgiving in many ways, while the controls are simple, the player is required to use their endurance effectively to strategically kill enemies while ensuring you don't die. An all-out attack approach in Demon's Souls will lead to many deaths where entire sections of the game must be replayed. You will die over and over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

It's slick and polished from the very first frame of the game through its entirety. Every creature, beast and monster you meet throughout the game looks stunning. Boss enemies (some are huge) rendered in meticulous detail, each gruesome and gory detail is brought to life. The environments vary from a mixture of ruined castles, keeps, moats, fields and decaying buildings. The use of light and shading lends itself another sense of the unknown to the player. Enemies are hiding in the shadows and creep up on you as you progress through each level. It has the right mix of difficulty, level progression, levelling up mixed in with a beautiful environment and sound to boot. It has the feel of a game that has been lovingly built up and each aspect of the gameplay while infuriating (when you die) make Demon's Souls a fantastic journey.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Demon Souls looks amazing in 4K, the game supports 4K 30fps in cinematic mode and 1440p upscaled to 4K at 60fps (dynamic 4k). Demon's Souls has both PVP and Co-op modes available that are unlocked early in the game. You can play with friends or other Souls players.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Demon's Souls is the best release title for the PS5. It looks amazing and plays just as well. While some players will find the game very difficult, it requires time and dedication to get to most of this game. It's not a lie, it's a challenge but tons of fun. There is a huge emphasis on strategy, levelling up and being wary of enemies. The bosses are fantastic, and they get tougher as you progress the game. You will die a lot, but you just need to persist. Demon's Souls is exciting, tough but it is a fantastic must own launch title. Demon's Souls the launch title to beat all launch titles<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Overall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thematically Watch Dogs is based around the effects of technology in this future dystopian world of London. Ubisoft has done a stunning job in recreating London. The level of detail and attention to detail makes it feel like London. I was instantly impressed by the environment and the sheer amount of madness in this game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWatch Dogs is primarily a sand-boxed game where you can approach missions in a few ways: hacking, all-out attack and stealth. Hacking is the core element of this game that differentiates it to its peers. Hacking takes two forms: stealthy or offensive. Hacking in stealth mode allows you to complete missions with minimal casualties. Hacking allows for chaotic mayhem and destruction as you use your drones and turrets against enemies. You can take the approach of just going out all guns blazing and dispatching enemies. You can play in a hitman way and take out enemies in a stealthy way. How you play is your choice, I found a mix of elements to be the most fun. The hacking of drones and cars is where the game shines. It's lots of fun. As with any Watch Dogs, you can take control of a whole host of vehicles and enjoy the stunning views of London.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOne twist with the games is the ability to recruit almost any character you encounter in the world to fight for your cause. These recruits become playable characters. Each character has their strengths and weaknesses and unique abilities. You can enable permadeath which means as your characters die, they can't respawn. If all your characters die, the game is over when permadeath is enabled. This feature adds another element to the solid gameplay, a real sense of tension and suspense.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe gameplay is familiar to any GTA, drive, kill and finish the story. The gameplay is easy to pick up. The hacking elements can be tricky at times when doing it through the lens of a security camera. The voice acting and your sidekick Bagley add a voice of reason to the whole story. The main missions are well structured, dystopian excels through the storytelling of the gameplay. There is enough variety in gameplay to keep you occupied for hours on end. If you finish the game, there are tons of side quests, recruiting opportunities and mini-games like football and darts.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere will be online and co-op, it's pencilled in for December.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLegion is lots of fun. You can spend hours just wondering around the city and taking in the sights. Gameplay and in particular, the hacking mechanisms and the use of drones add a whole another layer to the gameplay. It's fun to hijack a drone and take out the Albion henchmen. Car mechanics are decent. It treads the line between a simulator and arcade racing, it's decent but not the highlight of the game. In conclusion, it's worth picking up and will have you coming back for more.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Watch Dogs: Legion Review","post_excerpt":"Take back London","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"watch-dogs-legion-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:11:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:11:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205580","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205282,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-09-07 14:13:27","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-07 13:13:27","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Wildfire Game<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:\u00a0<\/strong>PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Adventure, RPG, Early Access<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a0bilibili<\/span>\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\nEastern Exorcist is the wonderfully dark animated side-scrolling hack and slash RPG. It is a hack and slash that requires thought and strategy, you can't just button bash through monsters, spirits, and bosses. It's light on the RPG elements but builds a hugely impressive and immersive world.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe first thing that struck me is the art style, hand-drawn Chinese art style. It underpins all the aspects of the game from level design, character design, demon, and boss design. This wonderful art-style brings all the aspects together. The level design and game presentation look amazing, it's a visual feast. On top of this, the wonderful character animation brings your character and his actions to life. You get immersed in this dark and demon-filled world from your first battle. The level design complements this world so well, the world enhances the story and game progression. The animation of the character is just superb, every enemy and boss has the same attention to detail as the protagonist. The art style brings this game to life and to be honest, I haven't been this impressed by the visual of a game in a long time. You could spend hours in awe of the visuals alone.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game centres around a hack and slash combat style with a highly responsive control system. Every action you make with your character is fluid, realistic, and responsive. This game perfects the mechanics of combat and character movement, you get the sense you are in total control. There is no lag or jitteriness in your character control. The game places an understanding that each mechanic serves a purpose. To successfully negotiate the game you need to master and understand when to use each mechanic. Every aspect of the game has it's a purpose and as the player explores, the more you learn. Eastern Exorcist is a difficult but rewarding challenge, while it may become frustrating at times, there is a huge sense of achievement as you progress.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGame controls and the visual feast on display emphasise the two most important parts of the game, the other less integral part is the RPG element. I'm not a huge RPG fan, I like a mix of RPG and combat with the emphasis being on combat and game mechanics. For me the game strikes the right balance, there are some light RPG elements, and the storyline complements and enhances the game. I loved the storyline is set out fairly early and this darkness sets a backdrop for the entire game. The dark levels, bosses, and world play well with the story of the battles in the game. The story element isn't obsolete but is somewhat of an unsung hero in the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn totality, I thoroughly enjoyed the game however I did find parts of the game samey. In between each boss fight, I found there was a level of repetition of platform sections and killing demons. Some more variety of puzzles would have complemented the killing a lot more. I think this is where you could find criticism of the game. I felt the variation in bosses more than outweighed the pre-boss section.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis is a real gem, wonderfully animated and designed. A good learning curve with a lot of frustration at times due to boss fights, the frustration is the unforgiving nature of the game if you use the wrong mechanic as opposed to a badly designed or skewed game. The payoff of beating each boss and progressing to the next one and the relief in some cases. It's a wonderfully tough game that requires a level of concentration to beat it. It's a must buy.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Eastern Exorcist Review","post_excerpt":"2D side-scrolling action RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"eastern-exorcist-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:18:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:18:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205282","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205041,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-06-26 12:04:52","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-26 12:04:52","post_content":"Developer:<\/span> <\/strong>Awesome Games Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/span> <\/strong>PC, PlayStation 4, <\/span>Switch,<\/span> Xbox One (Reviewed)<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/span><\/strong> Comic Book Roguelite Action<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/span> <\/strong>Awesome Games Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFury Unleashed is a roguelite action platformer based in a comic book world, there are three comics that you will play through. Each chapter of the comic book contains levels that are randomly generated full of baddies and challenges to navigate. Fury Unleashed is a mix of an old skool shooter like Metal Slug and a platformer. Its default settings are set to hard difficulty. This can be changed for those who don't enjoy a tough roguelite game. The game can be played in either solo or co-op mode, I haven't had the chance to play it in co-op mode but would love to. The game includes a few key features that enhance the game and its playability. The game can be played as you desire, you can meticulously go through each chapter or you can be all out and attack the levels if you take the second approach you are rewarded with higher combos which in turn give you more ink (game currency) and healables. In turn, gaining ink and levelling up your character allows you to spend skill points that allow you to enhance your skills and attributes. This allows you to complement your playstyle as you see fit and as this game is tough, gaining skills and upgrading your character is required no matter which plays style you use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe gameplay consists of battling, shooting, stomping, and meleeing through a varying number of frames in each level, you must navigate to the exit point of each level. The goal is to get through each level to face an end of the comic boss who is usually a huge nasty that occupies the majority of the screen. In the game you gain ink by killing enemies and beating challenges, the ink allows you to purchase in-game items that help you beat the game. More ink can be gained by chaining combos and killing enemies in quick succession too. You can buy new melee and guns throughout the game, each item having its pros and cons, you can choose which suit your style of play. The game action, enemies and levels flow well, the feeling of killing enemies and navigating the levels is smooth, action-packed and tons of fun. As you progress further into the game, the boss battles become more epic. The violence and gore are well suited for the game, there is huge fun and enjoyable element to the randomly generated levels as you must reply levels, it removes any sense of repetitiveness and just means every playthrough is unique.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn the hard setting alone, the game is fiendishly tough, but every level completion is a huge achievement. It mixes the right amount of platformer and shoot 'em up. From the get-go, it's lots of fun and easy to pick up and play but hard to master which are usually the signs of the best games. It incorporates lots of elements like levelling up, character loadout and customisation with a beautiful game with lots of action. It's a sheer joy to play.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Fury Unleashed Review","post_excerpt":"Combo-driven rougelite","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"fury-unleashed-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:22:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:22:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205041","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204709,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-03-23 15:30:12","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-23 15:30:12","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Studio Nanafushi<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC, PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Switch<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action, Indie<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Marvelous Europe<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDead or School is a fantastic side-scrolling shooter\/beat 'em up. It's a highly stylized Japanese cartoony adventure that is big on the zombie survival theme. You are Hisako who has been forced underground due to the zombie apocalypse. She must fight the zombies and return to her life above ground. If you have ever been to Tokyo you will recognize a whole host of subways you must battle out of. You are equipped with an array of guns to fight the horde.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI have to say the animation is stunning and there is real detail to every cut scene, level and conversation in the game. There is a real cinematic feel to the cut-scenes and in-game story too, The graphics and level design add to the sense of this apocalyptic world Hisako inhabits, there is a contrast from the character animation of main characters and gruesome zombies. The main characters are bright and have that amazing manga\/anime style with a colourful design, as opposed to the zombies which are dark, creepy and scary. This dichotomy really permeates the whole game and gives a sense of foreboding. The level design is a mix of underground stations ruined by the zombies and other end of world events, you must navigate from subway station to subway station to fight zombies.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere is a solid and enjoyable levelling up system through the game, each level you progress through will allow you to gain sufficient points to level up, you can customise your loadout and improve and upgrade your guns too. The gameplay hits that sweet spot between 2.5D shooting while having enough puzzles and platform aspects to keep you going. While the zombies can get a bit tedious, mid-level and end-level bosses break up the gameplay superbly. I have enjoyed many 2.5D shooters and beat em ups, Dead or School with its fantastic visuals and stunning character design add for a satisfying and rewarding experience. The story is particularly bad in Dead or School, it's a case of it's so bad that is good. Lots of elements of horror present throughout.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's a really slick and beautifully presented game, the mechanics are straightforward and you will be flying along in no time. I would like\/prefer an option where you could skip the cut scenes quicker and an entire audio narration would have been ideal. These are small gripes in an otherwise enjoyable experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI would recommend a venture into the underground world Dead or School with Hisako.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Dead or School Review","post_excerpt":"Fight for survival ","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dead-or-school-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:25:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:25:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204709","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204274,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2019-10-02 15:53:59","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-02 15:53:59","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Deck13<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action\/RPG<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Focus Home Interactive<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u201cOn the way to Jericho City, your plane is shot down by a mysterious storm and crash-lands in the outskirts. You wake up weeks later in a derelict detention facility inside the city. Armor-clad soldiers enforce Martial Law, robots are on a rampage, and a dark, expanding nano storm looms over the cityscape...\u201d<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nThat was a quick preview of the game history, \u201cThe surge 2\u201d brings you to the city of Jericho, a city that people KILL for scraps, get ready for brutal melee fights where you need to cut off parts of the enemy that you want to loot. The game starts with you waking up in a prison after the plane crash, you come across with the city of Jericho under a nanovirus called dFrag, which infects its inhabitants with a kind of evil artificial intelligence. If you think the crash wasn't enough, you still have to deal with religious fanatics who believe that this virus is an Evil Force or salvation for the End Times.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nYour main goal is to save some girl, for me, they should have worked a bit more on the plot to get you more interested since the beginning but during the game, the history does start to hook you more.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\nCreating your character: There are 6 options of classes with a profession and a background, unfortunately, there aren\u2019t many options for you to choose during the formation of your character but at the end it doesn\u2019t really matter because you will be using a huge armour over it, that brings us to an awesome detail on this game that is the fact that everything that you equip changes you visually which gives you the sensation of \u201cMy character is unique\u201d <\/span>I wanna start talking about the tutorial, which is fantastic! It is simple, quick and very efficient. Putting you in the face of danger right away, that helps you to understand and memorize how everything works. The things that the tutorial doesn\u2019t cover are no problem for you to get it by yourself.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game \u201ccoin\u201d is the scrap you collect, it works like experience points and also virtual currency within the game and can be used to evolve your energy core (which also works as a reference for your character's level), upgrade weapons, and purchase items from merchants.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Upgrade system is pretty simple and fun because it gives you the precise sensation that you are in total control of where your character is going. The strongest point, in my opinion, is the fact that if you want to upgrade your arms you have to go after somebody that has an altered arm and SLICE IT OFF! Same for all other parts. The weapons upgrade is also very simple to understand and also really cool to do it because it shows you very clearly what you are changing, making the game EVEN more personalized.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nSomething that deserves a great highlight are the drones you have! Each with a specific function like; fire, spray (graffiti on any structure of the game, a mechanism similar to that of the Souls franchise, which alerts other players to secret paths, nearby dangers, etc.), put your flag, etc.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nThe fighting system is simple to understand and demands a lot of strategy from you and patience, you have to aim a specific part of the body to attack, the boss fights can take a while because you need to take your time during the combat but they are all awesome to go through.<\/span>\r\nTo recover your health bar, you must spend a power module, and at the same time, to fill that module you must defeat your opponents. That is, if you are close to death, practically the only chance to recover is to face an opponent. The other way is to find a recovery point.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTip: Keep an eye for weak points (if you are not looking for any specific parts) and be \u201cpatient\u201d, the fights require some real thinking and attention to your stamina (you need it to perform an attack). An exposed area will take more damages so they are better to finish quickly an opponent, the parts with armour are more resistant but cutting that part of will give you the upgrade piece or that armour will be available for you to create. Another great tip that is to use the \"parry\", for common enemies and also for bosses. Mastering this mechanics, which is not as demanding as other games in the genre, is fundamental for those who want to play the game more calmly.<\/span>\r\nPs: Get ready to die A LOT\u2026 no surprise there since we are talking about a \u201cSOULS\u201d kind of game<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe graphics are not the best part of the game, even on the PS4 the textures take a while to render\u2026 I have no big complains about the graphics but that \u201cnon-finished\u201d texture is something that disturbs and to be honest is very outdated.<\/span>\r\nThe thematic is INCREDIBLE! And it goes well with the \u201cSouls\u201d way. I\u2019m a BIG fan of the \u201cCyber Punk\u201d thematic.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nSounds & Music: Unfortunately, I haven\u2019t much to say about this topic, because the job done on the voices were really well done and you can also notice a big variety of accents (I\u2019m a fan of accents). The music fits really well in the game but is almost unnoticeable, I believe that may cause a \u201cfade effect\u201d on the music, don\u2019t get me wrong the music is cool but it does not stand out, the fact that the song is not \u201cloud\u201d all the time gives you a good immersion.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI haven\u2019t played the first game, but as far as I could see this apple didn\u2019t fall far from the tree and you don\u2019t need to play the first one to understand what is going on, the games are not directly related. The game has a great mix between explaining too much and go find it works by yourself. The equipment\u2019s design is great! The game atmosphere is perfect! The last time I remember seeing something worried with the details of your surroundings was on the movie \u201cROBOCOP\u201d, just like on the movie you can watch the NEWS on the TVs, that may sound silly but it does give you a perfect notion of what is going on in the city without you having to hear from some NPC. The game has a great dynamism there are several types of weapon available that will suit different play styles. If you like fast attacks, it is possible to wear \"gloves\" that do less damage but also uses less \u201cstamina\u201d on each attack and allow tactics like \"hit and run\" more easily. Those who like to use heavy weaponry will have weapons of high damage, but are slower and use more energy in each movement, the game allows you to create up to three models of equipment, it is possible to have sets that adapt to various situations... Something that can be annoying is having to kill the same \u201cpeople\u201d over and over again, but it is a \u201cmark\u201d of the \u201cSOULS\u201d series. And that forces you to go even further every time you play and give you that \u201cfear of dying\u201d that the games nowadays don\u2019t have it anymore, the games are always saving every 5 minutes. <\/span>Playing \u201cThe Surge 2\u201d made me remember a lot a game called \u201cBloodBorn\u201d but with the cyber punk thematic. The maps are easy to memorize and so carefully done.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nEnjoy the slow motion gore scenes<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"The Surge 2 Review","post_excerpt":"Hardcore action RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"the-surge-2-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:28:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:28:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204274","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":203853,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2019-05-24 14:32:20","post_date_gmt":"2019-05-24 14:32:20","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Asobo Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/strong>Action\/Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Focus Home Interactive<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFollow the grim tale of young Amicia and her little brother Hugo (Who has an unknown disease forcing him to spend his childhood locked in his room, so for that reason he never saw the world per se) in a heartrending journey through one of the darkest hours of history. Hunted by Inquisition soldiers and surrounded by unstoppable swarms of rats, Amicia and Hugo will learn how to trust each other as they struggle to survive against overwhelming odds and will fight to find the doctor that was taking care of Hugo in this brutal, unforgiving world.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Year is 1349. The plague ravages the Kingdom of France. Amicia and her younger brother Hugo are pursued by the Inquisition through villages devastated by the disease. On their way, they will have to join forces with other children and evade swarms of rats using fire and light. Aided only by the link that binds their fates together, they will face untold horrors in their struggle to survive, as their adventure begins\u2026 the time of innocence ends.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEnough of what we know already! Let\u00b4s get into this game!<\/span>\r\n\r\nA Plague Tale: Innocence it\u2019s a third person stealth\/story driven kind of game but if you are not a fan of the genre (like I was BEFORE playing this game) I STRONGLY advise you to try this game out! The game follows a straight line so there is no real difficulty for you to accomplish the game (There is no Easy, Medium or Hard mode), the game also doesn\u2019t give you many options other than where you should go if you try to go to a place that the game doesn\u2019t want you to go you will face an invisible wall that blocks you from going there, the open areas have a path for you to follow but you can look for items like \u201cgifts\u201d, these items have a story behind them, and if you are into history its guaranteed that you will like to read each one of them.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe puzzles: The puzzles aren\u2019t hard to solve, because you always have the resources you need either at hand or really near you when you need it and the characters explain exactly what you have to do and how to do it. Don\u2019t get me wrong! That DEFINITELY does not make the game bad, actually, the puzzles and sneaking through the inquisitors are one of the best things on the game. \u00a0To help you get past the inquisitors and the puzzles Amicia has a Sling, which you can give a good upgrade, after learning alchemy you can create stun ammo or fireballs (Or Fire Stones if you like hahaha). You can also expand your carrying capacity, improve your resistance \u201carmor\u201d or even reduce the noise you make when walking with these upgrades. Playing as Amicia the game mechanics work very well BUT I do have a small issue on that part\u2026 for the first hours that I played the game, I found it very \u201cheavy\u201d to control Amicia, after getting used to it, it was ok. I read some people saying that other characters could be a challenge for you to fulfil your puzzles and that they have a bit of a delay to follow your commands and that could be the end for you\u2026 I strongly disagree, if you play the game properly and pay attention to the NPCs you won\u00b4t have any problem like I didn\u2019t. Another great thing on the game is that if a rat or an inquisitor gets you\u2026 that\u2019s it\u2026 try again! BUT this isn\u2019t a real problem to this game because the auto-save is very reliable, it saves your progress all the time so you don\u2019t go back too much from where you died.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nOne of the options you have is to face the inquisitors with your sling and for that, you can count with an auto-aim system to hit them on the head, don\u00b4t try to turn into some kind of Rambo and face many inquisitors at once because you won\u2019t be able to face too many of them. Aside from your sling, you can choose to throw stones (Or jars) with your hand to call enemies\u00b4 attention and the most important thing of all is that when you use your hand instead of using your sling you don\u2019t make any noise.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf I wasn\u2019t writing a review I would just say \u201cNAILED IT\u201d hahaha but like Jack, the Ripper would say \u201cLet\u00b4s go piece by piece\u201d \u2026 (This expression works better in Portuguese I guess hahaha).<\/span>\r\n\r\nRATS DUDE! RATS EVERYWERE! ANGRY! BLOODTHISTY ANGRY MULTIPLE RATS! They are the main thing on this game, the sound of them squealing around you or when they break through walls or come out of the floor\u2026 \u00a0 Craving for a piece of your flesh is real\u2026 really disturbing! But in some points, it\u2019s a bit \u201cclumsy?\u201d or \u201cbumbling?\u201d I\u00b4m not sure\u2026 the thing is that they walk through each other and don\u00b4t follow the laws of gravity (aside from other bugs), which breaks the immersion for a few seconds, unfortunately. Like I said before, the sound and the number of rats that are coming for you is at least agonizing as hell, as it should be.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nThe characters voice: That is something that the creators need to work on it and improve a bit. I played the game both in English and French to see if there was any \u201cacting\u201d difference and the conclusion was: None at all\u2026 It\u00b4s the same, to be honest It was really hard to play the game in French because I don\u00b4t speak French so I needed the subtitles and since the game has some really struggling action scenes, you have to choose between read what they are talking or run for your life\u2026its nearly impossible to do both.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Soundtrack\/ Environment: They have made a BEAUTIFUL soundtrack for \u201cThe Plague Tale\u201d it has all the elements that the game atmosphere needs and totally goes with the scenarios and what the game is trying to pass! The soundtrack basically walks together with the environment that is full of accurate history moments from the XIV century, everything is well built, and the graphics are beautiful, giving you the exact sensation of how things look like on that dark period, it is very immersive.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI really hope that \u201cInnocence\u201d it\u2019s just the beginning and that this game is just a first chapter of the \u201cPlague Tales\u201d because you can easily see that this game is made by people who LOVE what they\u00b4re doing! What they accomplished here is quite unique, because every time we see a medieval game the first things that come to our mind is \u201cOhhh another RPG\u2026 An Action game\u2026 etc\u201d but not this time! They brought a very new approach to the theme.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game has 17 chapters and has a lot of stealth\/sneak parts which I never really enjoyed until now. The graphics are excellent! The plot is really HEAVY and the kid\u00b4s innocence makes everything darker. Unfortunately, there are some ugly bugs (which I understand in a company that is \u201cstarting\u201d this kind of games now). The game has some strong points like the real danger feeling that the action scenes give you and how well built is the brother and sister relationship and also the fact that the kid you\u00b4re protecting is not annoying like normal kids in games are, these elements help the game to \u201ccatch\u201d you pretty quickly. \u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe environment is unbelievable! They are scary, disturbed, horrible, gory and gives you that agony that we all love in a game, right? Hahaha, the developers described their landscapes like this:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cThis Game may contain content not appropriate for all ages, or may not be appropriate for viewing at work: Frequent Violence or Gore, General Mature Content\u201d.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSo that\u2019s it! The game has all the elements to be an EPIC 10, but unfortunately, it is really hard to get it right on the first time. Hope to hear about the next game really soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"A Plague Tale: Innocence Review","post_excerpt":"The Year is 1349","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-plague-tale-innocence-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:30:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:30:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=203853","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":203680,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2019-04-24 15:08:43","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-24 15:08:43","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0One More Level<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4, Xbox One (Reviewed), PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/strong>Action, Indie<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublished by:<\/strong> Techland Publishing<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nYou play as the original odd couple in this ultra violent and amazingly fun game that is Gods Trigger.

\r\n
It's a top down shooter with elements of stealth and or strategy, depending on your approach to life \/ games. You can either play co-op or single player, my buzz was single player. A single button allows for a quick shift between characters, Angel or Demon, with their own particularly killing style which can be upgraded throughout the game. A shiny narrative and a comic book feel add to this glossy and well presented game.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
Level design is key to the game play, each stage allows for different approaches and the arcade feel to the gameplay are just superb. There is a real enjoyment and satisfaction as you progress through each section of each level, checkpoints are well spaced out and when you die which is a lot the checkpoints are handy. Graphics and animations are slick and a visual feast, the killing, the blood and the voice acting lends to a great experience.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\nThis game is crazy fun, with loads of action and has that element of addictiveness that makes you want to just keep playing. Really simple and elegant controls <\/span>allows for the instant gratification to draw you in but keeps you coming back. The level design and your approach style dictate the way you want to play and it's up to you. I love the fact that a single hit from an enemy results in death, this level of toughness adds so much to the game. Superb graphics, environment and a cool comic book feel with great story telling make this a fantastic game.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n

Dead or Alive is the latest in a long line of the series, I haven't played all 6 incarnations of the game but am quite familiar with series. The breast physics are still there. For the uninitiated, it's a beat em up with hyper realistic characters and interactive backgrounds. It's a throwback to the old fighting game setup. Fighters have a varying background story which adds little to the game but gives an air of some character development and allows for a story mode. Don't expect an RPG story with depth and proper character development.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
Fighters range from boxers, wrestlers, martial artists, muay thai,\u00a0 karate, drunken fighters and ninjas. Each fighting style has unique attributes, techniques and special moves. The fighting style is nuanced and while bashing buttons can win you the odd fight, a seasoned pro knows how to combine the right moves to take down the luckiest and semi-skilled fighter.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
Quest and training modes are particularly useful for those who are\u00a0new to the series or new to fighting games, an emphasis has been placed on the ease of game play with this DOA 6. I have to say it's easy to pick up and play with little direction required however to become a really good fighter, training is required. The practice and quest modes allow for players to pick up the subtleties such as <\/span>counter attacks, special moves, dodging, holds and much more. I picked up these after playing through the story mode, I was eager to get into the fighting.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
I first played through a round of the story mode before learning all the techniques of the game, it would have been more beneficial to play the quest mode or training mode first. Ring rust did show towards the latter end of the story mode where I did lose a few times, button bashing will only get you so far. One benefit of playing the story mode is the exposure to the diverse set of fighters, then you start leaning towards a style that you want to use. In my case, it was the karate and ninja fighters who I wanted to learn in depth.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
The actual fight mechanics\u00a0and presentation of the game is superb. Ultimately a fighting game is first judged on the gameplay and fight mechanics first. It's an immersive experience which is helped by the graphics, textures and general presentation, it's slick and easy on the eye. A dearth of fighters allows for that choice of fighters that fit the gamer. The interactive and destructive background add risk, some breathtaking transitions between environments too. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, the story mode in terms of a game mode is just alright, I understand the addition of it but it's just okay. I think if you love a beat em up like me, this game is a winner. the inclusion of online play is also another plus, it's solid and feels like playing someone sitting at your console with you. This is the game I will be playing for months on end and will be even more fun with friends.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n

It plays along the line of a modern Assassin's Creed game but with a heavy emphasis on puzzles. It's nowhere near a straight Assassin's Creed clone and does diverge away from AC. I was expecting something similar to AC but was pleasantly surprised.<\/span>\r\n\r\nImmortals: Fenyx Rising comes to life with a cartoon style of graphics, it's bright and wonderful, but quickly turns dark and foreboding. It alternates between both quite a bit. The stage is the age of The Greek Gods, and the game uses a voiceover of two Gods: Zeus and Prometheus to tell the tale of Fenyx and the protagonist's fight against Typhoon (deadliest Titan in Greek mythology). While there are elements of the parkour in Fenyx Rising a whole host of extra features make the gameplay vastly different from AC. This is mainly due to the sheer amount of puzzle sections on the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFirst off Fenyx possesses a host of powers and acquires extra \"Godly\" powers like flight (Wings of Daidalos) just to name one. You have the ability to run, fight, mount stead or fly through this open world that is full of mythological beasts (Cyclops, Minotaur and Medusa). Fenyx emphasises these gameplay elements throughout and there is a ton of variety. I think Fenyx comes into its own after about 3-4 hours into the game where you have levelled up sufficiently and have the broad variety of weapons and special powers to take on the vaults (dungeons). Puzzles come in the form of speed run challenges, archery puzzles and platforming puzzles too. This variety keeps you engaged. As this is an action RPG the fighting mechanics are solid and a decent levelling up system makes you do side missions too. The fighting is fun and you can chain huge combos whilst using additional God powers too.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe voice acting, visuals and level design are superb. The narration of Zeus and Prometheus is somewhat of a bad comedy duo with some Dad jokes thrown in. It's not amazingly funny but I can see the intent to lighten and narrate throughout the game. The narrative does succeed and paints a more vibrant picture of the world and mythology. The Greek mythology theme permeates the whole game and design and adds an air of authenticity to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe PS5 and Xbox Series X (I assume) support a quality mode 30 fps at 4K native and a performance mode that supports 60 fps dynamic 4K.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game plays phenomenally well once you get used to the controls and all the variety of specials you will acquire. There is a huge amount of puzzles, enemies and diversion in the world to keep you coming back. The powering up system is rich enough without being complex, it's a fun game that you will lose hours in. It's a surprising mix of puzzles merged to an open-world RPG. I have put in a lot of hours and keep coming back to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Immortals: Fenyx Rising Review","post_excerpt":"Open-world RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"immortals-fenyx-rising-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:03:21","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:03:21","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205866","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205652,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-11-18 23:05:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-18 23:05:18","post_content":"

Demon's Souls is the next-generation version and reboot built from the ground up of the PS3 classic. I'm just putting this out there, I haven't played the PS3 version, it's one of the PS consoles I didn't get. Demon's Souls is brand new to me. I don't have any nostalgic baggage of playing the game though it's considered a classic. I have played Bloodbourne though I will be my reference point for aspects of my game review. Demon's Souls is a third-person action RPG that is considered one of the hardest games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
For those familiar with the PS3 version, this game looks like a beautifully updated version of the PS3 game. I usually quickly skip through the character creation introduction, but I did spend time on it and marvelled at the rendering of the faces. The game has several classes that you can create your custom character from - Knight, Thief, Magician, and Wanderer to name a few. Gameplay involves navigating quite a linear path to kill a host of monsters. An increasing presence of demons has plagued the world and must be stopped. The game is unforgiving in many ways, while the controls are simple, the player is required to use their endurance effectively to strategically kill enemies while ensuring you don't die. An all-out attack approach in Demon's Souls will lead to many deaths where entire sections of the game must be replayed. You will die over and over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
It's slick and polished from the very first frame of the game through its entirety. Every creature, beast and monster you meet throughout the game looks stunning. Boss enemies (some are huge) rendered in meticulous detail, each gruesome and gory detail is brought to life. The environments vary from a mixture of ruined castles, keeps, moats, fields and decaying buildings. The use of light and shading lends itself another sense of the unknown to the player. Enemies are hiding in the shadows and creep up on you as you progress through each level. It has the right mix of difficulty, level progression, levelling up mixed in with a beautiful environment and sound to boot. It has the feel of a game that has been lovingly built up and each aspect of the gameplay while infuriating (when you die) make Demon's Souls a fantastic journey.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
Demon Souls looks amazing in 4K, the game supports 4K 30fps in cinematic mode and 1440p upscaled to 4K at 60fps (dynamic 4k). Demon's Souls has both PVP and Co-op modes available that are unlocked early in the game. You can play with friends or other Souls players.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
Demon's Souls is the best release title for the PS5. It looks amazing and plays just as well. While some players will find the game very difficult, it requires time and dedication to get to most of this game. It's not a lie, it's a challenge but tons of fun. There is a huge emphasis on strategy, levelling up and being wary of enemies. The bosses are fantastic, and they get tougher as you progress the game. You will die a lot, but you just need to persist. Demon's Souls is exciting, tough but it is a fantastic must own launch title. Demon's Souls the launch title to beat all launch titles<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thematically Watch Dogs is based around the effects of technology in this future dystopian world of London. Ubisoft has done a stunning job in recreating London. The level of detail and attention to detail makes it feel like London. I was instantly impressed by the environment and the sheer amount of madness in this game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWatch Dogs is primarily a sand-boxed game where you can approach missions in a few ways: hacking, all-out attack and stealth. Hacking is the core element of this game that differentiates it to its peers. Hacking takes two forms: stealthy or offensive. Hacking in stealth mode allows you to complete missions with minimal casualties. Hacking allows for chaotic mayhem and destruction as you use your drones and turrets against enemies. You can take the approach of just going out all guns blazing and dispatching enemies. You can play in a hitman way and take out enemies in a stealthy way. How you play is your choice, I found a mix of elements to be the most fun. The hacking of drones and cars is where the game shines. It's lots of fun. As with any Watch Dogs, you can take control of a whole host of vehicles and enjoy the stunning views of London.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOne twist with the games is the ability to recruit almost any character you encounter in the world to fight for your cause. These recruits become playable characters. Each character has their strengths and weaknesses and unique abilities. You can enable permadeath which means as your characters die, they can't respawn. If all your characters die, the game is over when permadeath is enabled. This feature adds another element to the solid gameplay, a real sense of tension and suspense.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe gameplay is familiar to any GTA, drive, kill and finish the story. The gameplay is easy to pick up. The hacking elements can be tricky at times when doing it through the lens of a security camera. The voice acting and your sidekick Bagley add a voice of reason to the whole story. The main missions are well structured, dystopian excels through the storytelling of the gameplay. There is enough variety in gameplay to keep you occupied for hours on end. If you finish the game, there are tons of side quests, recruiting opportunities and mini-games like football and darts.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere will be online and co-op, it's pencilled in for December.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLegion is lots of fun. You can spend hours just wondering around the city and taking in the sights. Gameplay and in particular, the hacking mechanisms and the use of drones add a whole another layer to the gameplay. It's fun to hijack a drone and take out the Albion henchmen. Car mechanics are decent. It treads the line between a simulator and arcade racing, it's decent but not the highlight of the game. In conclusion, it's worth picking up and will have you coming back for more.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Watch Dogs: Legion Review","post_excerpt":"Take back London","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"watch-dogs-legion-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:11:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:11:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205580","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205282,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-09-07 14:13:27","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-07 13:13:27","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Wildfire Game<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:\u00a0<\/strong>PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Adventure, RPG, Early Access<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a0bilibili<\/span>\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\nEastern Exorcist is the wonderfully dark animated side-scrolling hack and slash RPG. It is a hack and slash that requires thought and strategy, you can't just button bash through monsters, spirits, and bosses. It's light on the RPG elements but builds a hugely impressive and immersive world.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe first thing that struck me is the art style, hand-drawn Chinese art style. It underpins all the aspects of the game from level design, character design, demon, and boss design. This wonderful art-style brings all the aspects together. The level design and game presentation look amazing, it's a visual feast. On top of this, the wonderful character animation brings your character and his actions to life. You get immersed in this dark and demon-filled world from your first battle. The level design complements this world so well, the world enhances the story and game progression. The animation of the character is just superb, every enemy and boss has the same attention to detail as the protagonist. The art style brings this game to life and to be honest, I haven't been this impressed by the visual of a game in a long time. You could spend hours in awe of the visuals alone.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game centres around a hack and slash combat style with a highly responsive control system. Every action you make with your character is fluid, realistic, and responsive. This game perfects the mechanics of combat and character movement, you get the sense you are in total control. There is no lag or jitteriness in your character control. The game places an understanding that each mechanic serves a purpose. To successfully negotiate the game you need to master and understand when to use each mechanic. Every aspect of the game has it's a purpose and as the player explores, the more you learn. Eastern Exorcist is a difficult but rewarding challenge, while it may become frustrating at times, there is a huge sense of achievement as you progress.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGame controls and the visual feast on display emphasise the two most important parts of the game, the other less integral part is the RPG element. I'm not a huge RPG fan, I like a mix of RPG and combat with the emphasis being on combat and game mechanics. For me the game strikes the right balance, there are some light RPG elements, and the storyline complements and enhances the game. I loved the storyline is set out fairly early and this darkness sets a backdrop for the entire game. The dark levels, bosses, and world play well with the story of the battles in the game. The story element isn't obsolete but is somewhat of an unsung hero in the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn totality, I thoroughly enjoyed the game however I did find parts of the game samey. In between each boss fight, I found there was a level of repetition of platform sections and killing demons. Some more variety of puzzles would have complemented the killing a lot more. I think this is where you could find criticism of the game. I felt the variation in bosses more than outweighed the pre-boss section.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis is a real gem, wonderfully animated and designed. A good learning curve with a lot of frustration at times due to boss fights, the frustration is the unforgiving nature of the game if you use the wrong mechanic as opposed to a badly designed or skewed game. The payoff of beating each boss and progressing to the next one and the relief in some cases. It's a wonderfully tough game that requires a level of concentration to beat it. It's a must buy.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Eastern Exorcist Review","post_excerpt":"2D side-scrolling action RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"eastern-exorcist-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:18:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:18:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205282","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205041,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-06-26 12:04:52","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-26 12:04:52","post_content":"Developer:<\/span> <\/strong>Awesome Games Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/span> <\/strong>PC, PlayStation 4, <\/span>Switch,<\/span> Xbox One (Reviewed)<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/span><\/strong> Comic Book Roguelite Action<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/span> <\/strong>Awesome Games Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFury Unleashed is a roguelite action platformer based in a comic book world, there are three comics that you will play through. Each chapter of the comic book contains levels that are randomly generated full of baddies and challenges to navigate. Fury Unleashed is a mix of an old skool shooter like Metal Slug and a platformer. Its default settings are set to hard difficulty. This can be changed for those who don't enjoy a tough roguelite game. The game can be played in either solo or co-op mode, I haven't had the chance to play it in co-op mode but would love to. The game includes a few key features that enhance the game and its playability. The game can be played as you desire, you can meticulously go through each chapter or you can be all out and attack the levels if you take the second approach you are rewarded with higher combos which in turn give you more ink (game currency) and healables. In turn, gaining ink and levelling up your character allows you to spend skill points that allow you to enhance your skills and attributes. This allows you to complement your playstyle as you see fit and as this game is tough, gaining skills and upgrading your character is required no matter which plays style you use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe gameplay consists of battling, shooting, stomping, and meleeing through a varying number of frames in each level, you must navigate to the exit point of each level. The goal is to get through each level to face an end of the comic boss who is usually a huge nasty that occupies the majority of the screen. In the game you gain ink by killing enemies and beating challenges, the ink allows you to purchase in-game items that help you beat the game. More ink can be gained by chaining combos and killing enemies in quick succession too. You can buy new melee and guns throughout the game, each item having its pros and cons, you can choose which suit your style of play. The game action, enemies and levels flow well, the feeling of killing enemies and navigating the levels is smooth, action-packed and tons of fun. As you progress further into the game, the boss battles become more epic. The violence and gore are well suited for the game, there is huge fun and enjoyable element to the randomly generated levels as you must reply levels, it removes any sense of repetitiveness and just means every playthrough is unique.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn the hard setting alone, the game is fiendishly tough, but every level completion is a huge achievement. It mixes the right amount of platformer and shoot 'em up. From the get-go, it's lots of fun and easy to pick up and play but hard to master which are usually the signs of the best games. It incorporates lots of elements like levelling up, character loadout and customisation with a beautiful game with lots of action. It's a sheer joy to play.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Fury Unleashed Review","post_excerpt":"Combo-driven rougelite","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"fury-unleashed-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:22:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:22:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205041","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204709,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-03-23 15:30:12","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-23 15:30:12","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Studio Nanafushi<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC, PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Switch<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action, Indie<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Marvelous Europe<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDead or School is a fantastic side-scrolling shooter\/beat 'em up. It's a highly stylized Japanese cartoony adventure that is big on the zombie survival theme. You are Hisako who has been forced underground due to the zombie apocalypse. She must fight the zombies and return to her life above ground. If you have ever been to Tokyo you will recognize a whole host of subways you must battle out of. You are equipped with an array of guns to fight the horde.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI have to say the animation is stunning and there is real detail to every cut scene, level and conversation in the game. There is a real cinematic feel to the cut-scenes and in-game story too, The graphics and level design add to the sense of this apocalyptic world Hisako inhabits, there is a contrast from the character animation of main characters and gruesome zombies. The main characters are bright and have that amazing manga\/anime style with a colourful design, as opposed to the zombies which are dark, creepy and scary. This dichotomy really permeates the whole game and gives a sense of foreboding. The level design is a mix of underground stations ruined by the zombies and other end of world events, you must navigate from subway station to subway station to fight zombies.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere is a solid and enjoyable levelling up system through the game, each level you progress through will allow you to gain sufficient points to level up, you can customise your loadout and improve and upgrade your guns too. The gameplay hits that sweet spot between 2.5D shooting while having enough puzzles and platform aspects to keep you going. While the zombies can get a bit tedious, mid-level and end-level bosses break up the gameplay superbly. I have enjoyed many 2.5D shooters and beat em ups, Dead or School with its fantastic visuals and stunning character design add for a satisfying and rewarding experience. The story is particularly bad in Dead or School, it's a case of it's so bad that is good. Lots of elements of horror present throughout.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's a really slick and beautifully presented game, the mechanics are straightforward and you will be flying along in no time. I would like\/prefer an option where you could skip the cut scenes quicker and an entire audio narration would have been ideal. These are small gripes in an otherwise enjoyable experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI would recommend a venture into the underground world Dead or School with Hisako.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Dead or School Review","post_excerpt":"Fight for survival ","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dead-or-school-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:25:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:25:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204709","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204274,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2019-10-02 15:53:59","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-02 15:53:59","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Deck13<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action\/RPG<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Focus Home Interactive<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u201cOn the way to Jericho City, your plane is shot down by a mysterious storm and crash-lands in the outskirts. You wake up weeks later in a derelict detention facility inside the city. Armor-clad soldiers enforce Martial Law, robots are on a rampage, and a dark, expanding nano storm looms over the cityscape...\u201d<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nThat was a quick preview of the game history, \u201cThe surge 2\u201d brings you to the city of Jericho, a city that people KILL for scraps, get ready for brutal melee fights where you need to cut off parts of the enemy that you want to loot. The game starts with you waking up in a prison after the plane crash, you come across with the city of Jericho under a nanovirus called dFrag, which infects its inhabitants with a kind of evil artificial intelligence. If you think the crash wasn't enough, you still have to deal with religious fanatics who believe that this virus is an Evil Force or salvation for the End Times.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nYour main goal is to save some girl, for me, they should have worked a bit more on the plot to get you more interested since the beginning but during the game, the history does start to hook you more.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\nCreating your character: There are 6 options of classes with a profession and a background, unfortunately, there aren\u2019t many options for you to choose during the formation of your character but at the end it doesn\u2019t really matter because you will be using a huge armour over it, that brings us to an awesome detail on this game that is the fact that everything that you equip changes you visually which gives you the sensation of \u201cMy character is unique\u201d <\/span>I wanna start talking about the tutorial, which is fantastic! It is simple, quick and very efficient. Putting you in the face of danger right away, that helps you to understand and memorize how everything works. The things that the tutorial doesn\u2019t cover are no problem for you to get it by yourself.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game \u201ccoin\u201d is the scrap you collect, it works like experience points and also virtual currency within the game and can be used to evolve your energy core (which also works as a reference for your character's level), upgrade weapons, and purchase items from merchants.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Upgrade system is pretty simple and fun because it gives you the precise sensation that you are in total control of where your character is going. The strongest point, in my opinion, is the fact that if you want to upgrade your arms you have to go after somebody that has an altered arm and SLICE IT OFF! Same for all other parts. The weapons upgrade is also very simple to understand and also really cool to do it because it shows you very clearly what you are changing, making the game EVEN more personalized.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nSomething that deserves a great highlight are the drones you have! Each with a specific function like; fire, spray (graffiti on any structure of the game, a mechanism similar to that of the Souls franchise, which alerts other players to secret paths, nearby dangers, etc.), put your flag, etc.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nThe fighting system is simple to understand and demands a lot of strategy from you and patience, you have to aim a specific part of the body to attack, the boss fights can take a while because you need to take your time during the combat but they are all awesome to go through.<\/span>\r\nTo recover your health bar, you must spend a power module, and at the same time, to fill that module you must defeat your opponents. That is, if you are close to death, practically the only chance to recover is to face an opponent. The other way is to find a recovery point.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTip: Keep an eye for weak points (if you are not looking for any specific parts) and be \u201cpatient\u201d, the fights require some real thinking and attention to your stamina (you need it to perform an attack). An exposed area will take more damages so they are better to finish quickly an opponent, the parts with armour are more resistant but cutting that part of will give you the upgrade piece or that armour will be available for you to create. Another great tip that is to use the \"parry\", for common enemies and also for bosses. Mastering this mechanics, which is not as demanding as other games in the genre, is fundamental for those who want to play the game more calmly.<\/span>\r\nPs: Get ready to die A LOT\u2026 no surprise there since we are talking about a \u201cSOULS\u201d kind of game<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe graphics are not the best part of the game, even on the PS4 the textures take a while to render\u2026 I have no big complains about the graphics but that \u201cnon-finished\u201d texture is something that disturbs and to be honest is very outdated.<\/span>\r\nThe thematic is INCREDIBLE! And it goes well with the \u201cSouls\u201d way. I\u2019m a BIG fan of the \u201cCyber Punk\u201d thematic.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nSounds & Music: Unfortunately, I haven\u2019t much to say about this topic, because the job done on the voices were really well done and you can also notice a big variety of accents (I\u2019m a fan of accents). The music fits really well in the game but is almost unnoticeable, I believe that may cause a \u201cfade effect\u201d on the music, don\u2019t get me wrong the music is cool but it does not stand out, the fact that the song is not \u201cloud\u201d all the time gives you a good immersion.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI haven\u2019t played the first game, but as far as I could see this apple didn\u2019t fall far from the tree and you don\u2019t need to play the first one to understand what is going on, the games are not directly related. The game has a great mix between explaining too much and go find it works by yourself. The equipment\u2019s design is great! The game atmosphere is perfect! The last time I remember seeing something worried with the details of your surroundings was on the movie \u201cROBOCOP\u201d, just like on the movie you can watch the NEWS on the TVs, that may sound silly but it does give you a perfect notion of what is going on in the city without you having to hear from some NPC. The game has a great dynamism there are several types of weapon available that will suit different play styles. If you like fast attacks, it is possible to wear \"gloves\" that do less damage but also uses less \u201cstamina\u201d on each attack and allow tactics like \"hit and run\" more easily. Those who like to use heavy weaponry will have weapons of high damage, but are slower and use more energy in each movement, the game allows you to create up to three models of equipment, it is possible to have sets that adapt to various situations... Something that can be annoying is having to kill the same \u201cpeople\u201d over and over again, but it is a \u201cmark\u201d of the \u201cSOULS\u201d series. And that forces you to go even further every time you play and give you that \u201cfear of dying\u201d that the games nowadays don\u2019t have it anymore, the games are always saving every 5 minutes. <\/span>Playing \u201cThe Surge 2\u201d made me remember a lot a game called \u201cBloodBorn\u201d but with the cyber punk thematic. The maps are easy to memorize and so carefully done.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nEnjoy the slow motion gore scenes<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"The Surge 2 Review","post_excerpt":"Hardcore action RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"the-surge-2-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:28:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:28:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204274","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":203853,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2019-05-24 14:32:20","post_date_gmt":"2019-05-24 14:32:20","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Asobo Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/strong>Action\/Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Focus Home Interactive<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFollow the grim tale of young Amicia and her little brother Hugo (Who has an unknown disease forcing him to spend his childhood locked in his room, so for that reason he never saw the world per se) in a heartrending journey through one of the darkest hours of history. Hunted by Inquisition soldiers and surrounded by unstoppable swarms of rats, Amicia and Hugo will learn how to trust each other as they struggle to survive against overwhelming odds and will fight to find the doctor that was taking care of Hugo in this brutal, unforgiving world.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Year is 1349. The plague ravages the Kingdom of France. Amicia and her younger brother Hugo are pursued by the Inquisition through villages devastated by the disease. On their way, they will have to join forces with other children and evade swarms of rats using fire and light. Aided only by the link that binds their fates together, they will face untold horrors in their struggle to survive, as their adventure begins\u2026 the time of innocence ends.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEnough of what we know already! Let\u00b4s get into this game!<\/span>\r\n\r\nA Plague Tale: Innocence it\u2019s a third person stealth\/story driven kind of game but if you are not a fan of the genre (like I was BEFORE playing this game) I STRONGLY advise you to try this game out! The game follows a straight line so there is no real difficulty for you to accomplish the game (There is no Easy, Medium or Hard mode), the game also doesn\u2019t give you many options other than where you should go if you try to go to a place that the game doesn\u2019t want you to go you will face an invisible wall that blocks you from going there, the open areas have a path for you to follow but you can look for items like \u201cgifts\u201d, these items have a story behind them, and if you are into history its guaranteed that you will like to read each one of them.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe puzzles: The puzzles aren\u2019t hard to solve, because you always have the resources you need either at hand or really near you when you need it and the characters explain exactly what you have to do and how to do it. Don\u2019t get me wrong! That DEFINITELY does not make the game bad, actually, the puzzles and sneaking through the inquisitors are one of the best things on the game. \u00a0To help you get past the inquisitors and the puzzles Amicia has a Sling, which you can give a good upgrade, after learning alchemy you can create stun ammo or fireballs (Or Fire Stones if you like hahaha). You can also expand your carrying capacity, improve your resistance \u201carmor\u201d or even reduce the noise you make when walking with these upgrades. Playing as Amicia the game mechanics work very well BUT I do have a small issue on that part\u2026 for the first hours that I played the game, I found it very \u201cheavy\u201d to control Amicia, after getting used to it, it was ok. I read some people saying that other characters could be a challenge for you to fulfil your puzzles and that they have a bit of a delay to follow your commands and that could be the end for you\u2026 I strongly disagree, if you play the game properly and pay attention to the NPCs you won\u00b4t have any problem like I didn\u2019t. Another great thing on the game is that if a rat or an inquisitor gets you\u2026 that\u2019s it\u2026 try again! BUT this isn\u2019t a real problem to this game because the auto-save is very reliable, it saves your progress all the time so you don\u2019t go back too much from where you died.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nOne of the options you have is to face the inquisitors with your sling and for that, you can count with an auto-aim system to hit them on the head, don\u00b4t try to turn into some kind of Rambo and face many inquisitors at once because you won\u2019t be able to face too many of them. Aside from your sling, you can choose to throw stones (Or jars) with your hand to call enemies\u00b4 attention and the most important thing of all is that when you use your hand instead of using your sling you don\u2019t make any noise.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf I wasn\u2019t writing a review I would just say \u201cNAILED IT\u201d hahaha but like Jack, the Ripper would say \u201cLet\u00b4s go piece by piece\u201d \u2026 (This expression works better in Portuguese I guess hahaha).<\/span>\r\n\r\nRATS DUDE! RATS EVERYWERE! ANGRY! BLOODTHISTY ANGRY MULTIPLE RATS! They are the main thing on this game, the sound of them squealing around you or when they break through walls or come out of the floor\u2026 \u00a0 Craving for a piece of your flesh is real\u2026 really disturbing! But in some points, it\u2019s a bit \u201cclumsy?\u201d or \u201cbumbling?\u201d I\u00b4m not sure\u2026 the thing is that they walk through each other and don\u00b4t follow the laws of gravity (aside from other bugs), which breaks the immersion for a few seconds, unfortunately. Like I said before, the sound and the number of rats that are coming for you is at least agonizing as hell, as it should be.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nThe characters voice: That is something that the creators need to work on it and improve a bit. I played the game both in English and French to see if there was any \u201cacting\u201d difference and the conclusion was: None at all\u2026 It\u00b4s the same, to be honest It was really hard to play the game in French because I don\u00b4t speak French so I needed the subtitles and since the game has some really struggling action scenes, you have to choose between read what they are talking or run for your life\u2026its nearly impossible to do both.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Soundtrack\/ Environment: They have made a BEAUTIFUL soundtrack for \u201cThe Plague Tale\u201d it has all the elements that the game atmosphere needs and totally goes with the scenarios and what the game is trying to pass! The soundtrack basically walks together with the environment that is full of accurate history moments from the XIV century, everything is well built, and the graphics are beautiful, giving you the exact sensation of how things look like on that dark period, it is very immersive.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI really hope that \u201cInnocence\u201d it\u2019s just the beginning and that this game is just a first chapter of the \u201cPlague Tales\u201d because you can easily see that this game is made by people who LOVE what they\u00b4re doing! What they accomplished here is quite unique, because every time we see a medieval game the first things that come to our mind is \u201cOhhh another RPG\u2026 An Action game\u2026 etc\u201d but not this time! They brought a very new approach to the theme.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game has 17 chapters and has a lot of stealth\/sneak parts which I never really enjoyed until now. The graphics are excellent! The plot is really HEAVY and the kid\u00b4s innocence makes everything darker. Unfortunately, there are some ugly bugs (which I understand in a company that is \u201cstarting\u201d this kind of games now). The game has some strong points like the real danger feeling that the action scenes give you and how well built is the brother and sister relationship and also the fact that the kid you\u00b4re protecting is not annoying like normal kids in games are, these elements help the game to \u201ccatch\u201d you pretty quickly. \u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe environment is unbelievable! They are scary, disturbed, horrible, gory and gives you that agony that we all love in a game, right? Hahaha, the developers described their landscapes like this:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cThis Game may contain content not appropriate for all ages, or may not be appropriate for viewing at work: Frequent Violence or Gore, General Mature Content\u201d.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSo that\u2019s it! The game has all the elements to be an EPIC 10, but unfortunately, it is really hard to get it right on the first time. Hope to hear about the next game really soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"A Plague Tale: Innocence Review","post_excerpt":"The Year is 1349","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-plague-tale-innocence-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:30:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:30:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=203853","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":203680,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2019-04-24 15:08:43","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-24 15:08:43","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0One More Level<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4, Xbox One (Reviewed), PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/strong>Action, Indie<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublished by:<\/strong> Techland Publishing<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nYou play as the original odd couple in this ultra violent and amazingly fun game that is Gods Trigger.

\r\n
It's a top down shooter with elements of stealth and or strategy, depending on your approach to life \/ games. You can either play co-op or single player, my buzz was single player. A single button allows for a quick shift between characters, Angel or Demon, with their own particularly killing style which can be upgraded throughout the game. A shiny narrative and a comic book feel add to this glossy and well presented game.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
Level design is key to the game play, each stage allows for different approaches and the arcade feel to the gameplay are just superb. There is a real enjoyment and satisfaction as you progress through each section of each level, checkpoints are well spaced out and when you die which is a lot the checkpoints are handy. Graphics and animations are slick and a visual feast, the killing, the blood and the voice acting lends to a great experience.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n\r\nThis game is crazy fun, with loads of action and has that element of addictiveness that makes you want to just keep playing. Really simple and elegant controls <\/span>allows for the instant gratification to draw you in but keeps you coming back. The level design and your approach style dictate the way you want to play and it's up to you. I love the fact that a single hit from an enemy results in death, this level of toughness adds so much to the game. Superb graphics, environment and a cool comic book feel with great story telling make this a fantastic game.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n

Dead or Alive is the latest in a long line of the series, I haven't played all 6 incarnations of the game but am quite familiar with series. The breast physics are still there. For the uninitiated, it's a beat em up with hyper realistic characters and interactive backgrounds. It's a throwback to the old fighting game setup. Fighters have a varying background story which adds little to the game but gives an air of some character development and allows for a story mode. Don't expect an RPG story with depth and proper character development.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
Fighters range from boxers, wrestlers, martial artists, muay thai,\u00a0 karate, drunken fighters and ninjas. Each fighting style has unique attributes, techniques and special moves. The fighting style is nuanced and while bashing buttons can win you the odd fight, a seasoned pro knows how to combine the right moves to take down the luckiest and semi-skilled fighter.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
Quest and training modes are particularly useful for those who are\u00a0new to the series or new to fighting games, an emphasis has been placed on the ease of game play with this DOA 6. I have to say it's easy to pick up and play with little direction required however to become a really good fighter, training is required. The practice and quest modes allow for players to pick up the subtleties such as <\/span>counter attacks, special moves, dodging, holds and much more. I picked up these after playing through the story mode, I was eager to get into the fighting.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
I first played through a round of the story mode before learning all the techniques of the game, it would have been more beneficial to play the quest mode or training mode first. Ring rust did show towards the latter end of the story mode where I did lose a few times, button bashing will only get you so far. One benefit of playing the story mode is the exposure to the diverse set of fighters, then you start leaning towards a style that you want to use. In my case, it was the karate and ninja fighters who I wanted to learn in depth.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
The actual fight mechanics\u00a0and presentation of the game is superb. Ultimately a fighting game is first judged on the gameplay and fight mechanics first. It's an immersive experience which is helped by the graphics, textures and general presentation, it's slick and easy on the eye. A dearth of fighters allows for that choice of fighters that fit the gamer. The interactive and destructive background add risk, some breathtaking transitions between environments too. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, the story mode in terms of a game mode is just alright, I understand the addition of it but it's just okay. I think if you love a beat em up like me, this game is a winner. the inclusion of online play is also another plus, it's solid and feels like playing someone sitting at your console with you. This is the game I will be playing for months on end and will be even more fun with friends.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n

Curse of the Dead Gods is a skill-based roguelike that is set in a temple dungeon. You navigate through a maze of levels, a host of nasty creatures and ultimately a boss in each temple. The game is played from an isometric perspective and the emphasis is on mastering the simple controls but in an extremely challenging environment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
Initially, you are set up with a primary melee weapon (sword) and a ranged weapon (pistol), as you battle through each dungeon you will gain relics, power-ups and the ability to offer sacrifices to the gods. The game mechanics centre around a mix of using melee, ranged attacks, parrying and dodging. The critical element in terms of the gameplay is the difficulty level, precision is required throughout and using all the core game mechanics is the only way to survive to progress through the game. If the brutal nature of the difficulty setting isn't challenging enough, your character can become cursed which makes for an even tougher challenge. Each creature you encounter has its own unique set of attacks and defensive skills that you need to overcome. The difficulty setting may put players off but the rich variety of gameplay, playstyles and environments are superb. It should be noted that you will play for many hours to get the most of this game, this isn't a straight pick up and play, you will die a lot before you make any meaningful progress. The learning curve is fairly steep.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The whole game is illustrated using a dark cartoon style. The environments and characters have an amazing level of detail, the temple dungeon theme ties in the levels, characters, demons and all the gameplay as well. The levels themself are darkly lit which are illuminated by a torch you carry or fires that can be set. Levels contain traps, treasure and a host of evil creatures lurking around each corner. The temples are immersive and the mechanics and joy of killing the creatures make you come back for more. The deeper you progress through each dungeon, the wider variety of levels that you will uncover and different challenges.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
Curse of the Dead Gods is a superb roguelike that marries difficult challenging experiences into this temple themed world. The game mechanics are simple and intuitive but requires skill and patience to master. The ability to level up with either gold or a blood sacrifice is a neat touch that is complemented by the addition of curses as you progress through each stage. The level design and gameplay feel are superb, the game is tough and rewarding. Multiple types of melee and ranged weapons allow you to build a play style that suits you. The world is a dark temple with tons of creatures looking to get you, it's a truly immersive experience.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It plays along the line of a modern Assassin's Creed game but with a heavy emphasis on puzzles. It's nowhere near a straight Assassin's Creed clone and does diverge away from AC. I was expecting something similar to AC but was pleasantly surprised.<\/span>\r\n\r\nImmortals: Fenyx Rising comes to life with a cartoon style of graphics, it's bright and wonderful, but quickly turns dark and foreboding. It alternates between both quite a bit. The stage is the age of The Greek Gods, and the game uses a voiceover of two Gods: Zeus and Prometheus to tell the tale of Fenyx and the protagonist's fight against Typhoon (deadliest Titan in Greek mythology). While there are elements of the parkour in Fenyx Rising a whole host of extra features make the gameplay vastly different from AC. This is mainly due to the sheer amount of puzzle sections on the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFirst off Fenyx possesses a host of powers and acquires extra \"Godly\" powers like flight (Wings of Daidalos) just to name one. You have the ability to run, fight, mount stead or fly through this open world that is full of mythological beasts (Cyclops, Minotaur and Medusa). Fenyx emphasises these gameplay elements throughout and there is a ton of variety. I think Fenyx comes into its own after about 3-4 hours into the game where you have levelled up sufficiently and have the broad variety of weapons and special powers to take on the vaults (dungeons). Puzzles come in the form of speed run challenges, archery puzzles and platforming puzzles too. This variety keeps you engaged. As this is an action RPG the fighting mechanics are solid and a decent levelling up system makes you do side missions too. The fighting is fun and you can chain huge combos whilst using additional God powers too.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe voice acting, visuals and level design are superb. The narration of Zeus and Prometheus is somewhat of a bad comedy duo with some Dad jokes thrown in. It's not amazingly funny but I can see the intent to lighten and narrate throughout the game. The narrative does succeed and paints a more vibrant picture of the world and mythology. The Greek mythology theme permeates the whole game and design and adds an air of authenticity to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe PS5 and Xbox Series X (I assume) support a quality mode 30 fps at 4K native and a performance mode that supports 60 fps dynamic 4K.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game plays phenomenally well once you get used to the controls and all the variety of specials you will acquire. There is a huge amount of puzzles, enemies and diversion in the world to keep you coming back. The powering up system is rich enough without being complex, it's a fun game that you will lose hours in. It's a surprising mix of puzzles merged to an open-world RPG. I have put in a lot of hours and keep coming back to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Immortals: Fenyx Rising Review","post_excerpt":"Open-world RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"immortals-fenyx-rising-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:03:21","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:03:21","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205866","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205652,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-11-18 23:05:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-18 23:05:18","post_content":"

Demon's Souls is the next-generation version and reboot built from the ground up of the PS3 classic. I'm just putting this out there, I haven't played the PS3 version, it's one of the PS consoles I didn't get. Demon's Souls is brand new to me. I don't have any nostalgic baggage of playing the game though it's considered a classic. I have played Bloodbourne though I will be my reference point for aspects of my game review. Demon's Souls is a third-person action RPG that is considered one of the hardest games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
For those familiar with the PS3 version, this game looks like a beautifully updated version of the PS3 game. I usually quickly skip through the character creation introduction, but I did spend time on it and marvelled at the rendering of the faces. The game has several classes that you can create your custom character from - Knight, Thief, Magician, and Wanderer to name a few. Gameplay involves navigating quite a linear path to kill a host of monsters. An increasing presence of demons has plagued the world and must be stopped. The game is unforgiving in many ways, while the controls are simple, the player is required to use their endurance effectively to strategically kill enemies while ensuring you don't die. An all-out attack approach in Demon's Souls will lead to many deaths where entire sections of the game must be replayed. You will die over and over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
It's slick and polished from the very first frame of the game through its entirety. Every creature, beast and monster you meet throughout the game looks stunning. Boss enemies (some are huge) rendered in meticulous detail, each gruesome and gory detail is brought to life. The environments vary from a mixture of ruined castles, keeps, moats, fields and decaying buildings. The use of light and shading lends itself another sense of the unknown to the player. Enemies are hiding in the shadows and creep up on you as you progress through each level. It has the right mix of difficulty, level progression, levelling up mixed in with a beautiful environment and sound to boot. It has the feel of a game that has been lovingly built up and each aspect of the gameplay while infuriating (when you die) make Demon's Souls a fantastic journey.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
Demon Souls looks amazing in 4K, the game supports 4K 30fps in cinematic mode and 1440p upscaled to 4K at 60fps (dynamic 4k). Demon's Souls has both PVP and Co-op modes available that are unlocked early in the game. You can play with friends or other Souls players.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
Demon's Souls is the best release title for the PS5. It looks amazing and plays just as well. While some players will find the game very difficult, it requires time and dedication to get to most of this game. It's not a lie, it's a challenge but tons of fun. There is a huge emphasis on strategy, levelling up and being wary of enemies. The bosses are fantastic, and they get tougher as you progress the game. You will die a lot, but you just need to persist. Demon's Souls is exciting, tough but it is a fantastic must own launch title. Demon's Souls the launch title to beat all launch titles<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thematically Watch Dogs is based around the effects of technology in this future dystopian world of London. Ubisoft has done a stunning job in recreating London. The level of detail and attention to detail makes it feel like London. I was instantly impressed by the environment and the sheer amount of madness in this game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWatch Dogs is primarily a sand-boxed game where you can approach missions in a few ways: hacking, all-out attack and stealth. Hacking is the core element of this game that differentiates it to its peers. Hacking takes two forms: stealthy or offensive. Hacking in stealth mode allows you to complete missions with minimal casualties. Hacking allows for chaotic mayhem and destruction as you use your drones and turrets against enemies. You can take the approach of just going out all guns blazing and dispatching enemies. You can play in a hitman way and take out enemies in a stealthy way. How you play is your choice, I found a mix of elements to be the most fun. The hacking of drones and cars is where the game shines. It's lots of fun. As with any Watch Dogs, you can take control of a whole host of vehicles and enjoy the stunning views of London.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOne twist with the games is the ability to recruit almost any character you encounter in the world to fight for your cause. These recruits become playable characters. Each character has their strengths and weaknesses and unique abilities. You can enable permadeath which means as your characters die, they can't respawn. If all your characters die, the game is over when permadeath is enabled. This feature adds another element to the solid gameplay, a real sense of tension and suspense.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe gameplay is familiar to any GTA, drive, kill and finish the story. The gameplay is easy to pick up. The hacking elements can be tricky at times when doing it through the lens of a security camera. The voice acting and your sidekick Bagley add a voice of reason to the whole story. The main missions are well structured, dystopian excels through the storytelling of the gameplay. There is enough variety in gameplay to keep you occupied for hours on end. If you finish the game, there are tons of side quests, recruiting opportunities and mini-games like football and darts.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere will be online and co-op, it's pencilled in for December.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLegion is lots of fun. You can spend hours just wondering around the city and taking in the sights. Gameplay and in particular, the hacking mechanisms and the use of drones add a whole another layer to the gameplay. It's fun to hijack a drone and take out the Albion henchmen. Car mechanics are decent. It treads the line between a simulator and arcade racing, it's decent but not the highlight of the game. In conclusion, it's worth picking up and will have you coming back for more.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Watch Dogs: Legion Review","post_excerpt":"Take back London","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"watch-dogs-legion-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:11:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:11:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205580","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205282,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-09-07 14:13:27","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-07 13:13:27","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Wildfire Game<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:\u00a0<\/strong>PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Adventure, RPG, Early Access<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a0bilibili<\/span>\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\nEastern Exorcist is the wonderfully dark animated side-scrolling hack and slash RPG. It is a hack and slash that requires thought and strategy, you can't just button bash through monsters, spirits, and bosses. It's light on the RPG elements but builds a hugely impressive and immersive world.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe first thing that struck me is the art style, hand-drawn Chinese art style. It underpins all the aspects of the game from level design, character design, demon, and boss design. This wonderful art-style brings all the aspects together. The level design and game presentation look amazing, it's a visual feast. On top of this, the wonderful character animation brings your character and his actions to life. You get immersed in this dark and demon-filled world from your first battle. The level design complements this world so well, the world enhances the story and game progression. The animation of the character is just superb, every enemy and boss has the same attention to detail as the protagonist. The art style brings this game to life and to be honest, I haven't been this impressed by the visual of a game in a long time. You could spend hours in awe of the visuals alone.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game centres around a hack and slash combat style with a highly responsive control system. Every action you make with your character is fluid, realistic, and responsive. This game perfects the mechanics of combat and character movement, you get the sense you are in total control. There is no lag or jitteriness in your character control. The game places an understanding that each mechanic serves a purpose. To successfully negotiate the game you need to master and understand when to use each mechanic. Every aspect of the game has it's a purpose and as the player explores, the more you learn. Eastern Exorcist is a difficult but rewarding challenge, while it may become frustrating at times, there is a huge sense of achievement as you progress.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGame controls and the visual feast on display emphasise the two most important parts of the game, the other less integral part is the RPG element. I'm not a huge RPG fan, I like a mix of RPG and combat with the emphasis being on combat and game mechanics. For me the game strikes the right balance, there are some light RPG elements, and the storyline complements and enhances the game. I loved the storyline is set out fairly early and this darkness sets a backdrop for the entire game. The dark levels, bosses, and world play well with the story of the battles in the game. The story element isn't obsolete but is somewhat of an unsung hero in the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn totality, I thoroughly enjoyed the game however I did find parts of the game samey. In between each boss fight, I found there was a level of repetition of platform sections and killing demons. Some more variety of puzzles would have complemented the killing a lot more. I think this is where you could find criticism of the game. I felt the variation in bosses more than outweighed the pre-boss section.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis is a real gem, wonderfully animated and designed. A good learning curve with a lot of frustration at times due to boss fights, the frustration is the unforgiving nature of the game if you use the wrong mechanic as opposed to a badly designed or skewed game. The payoff of beating each boss and progressing to the next one and the relief in some cases. It's a wonderfully tough game that requires a level of concentration to beat it. It's a must buy.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Eastern Exorcist Review","post_excerpt":"2D side-scrolling action RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"eastern-exorcist-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:18:35","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:18:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205282","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205041,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-06-26 12:04:52","post_date_gmt":"2020-06-26 12:04:52","post_content":"Developer:<\/span> <\/strong>Awesome Games Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/span> <\/strong>PC, PlayStation 4, <\/span>Switch,<\/span> Xbox One (Reviewed)<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/span><\/strong> Comic Book Roguelite Action<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/span> <\/strong>Awesome Games Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFury Unleashed is a roguelite action platformer based in a comic book world, there are three comics that you will play through. Each chapter of the comic book contains levels that are randomly generated full of baddies and challenges to navigate. Fury Unleashed is a mix of an old skool shooter like Metal Slug and a platformer. Its default settings are set to hard difficulty. This can be changed for those who don't enjoy a tough roguelite game. The game can be played in either solo or co-op mode, I haven't had the chance to play it in co-op mode but would love to. The game includes a few key features that enhance the game and its playability. The game can be played as you desire, you can meticulously go through each chapter or you can be all out and attack the levels if you take the second approach you are rewarded with higher combos which in turn give you more ink (game currency) and healables. In turn, gaining ink and levelling up your character allows you to spend skill points that allow you to enhance your skills and attributes. This allows you to complement your playstyle as you see fit and as this game is tough, gaining skills and upgrading your character is required no matter which plays style you use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe gameplay consists of battling, shooting, stomping, and meleeing through a varying number of frames in each level, you must navigate to the exit point of each level. The goal is to get through each level to face an end of the comic boss who is usually a huge nasty that occupies the majority of the screen. In the game you gain ink by killing enemies and beating challenges, the ink allows you to purchase in-game items that help you beat the game. More ink can be gained by chaining combos and killing enemies in quick succession too. You can buy new melee and guns throughout the game, each item having its pros and cons, you can choose which suit your style of play. The game action, enemies and levels flow well, the feeling of killing enemies and navigating the levels is smooth, action-packed and tons of fun. As you progress further into the game, the boss battles become more epic. The violence and gore are well suited for the game, there is huge fun and enjoyable element to the randomly generated levels as you must reply levels, it removes any sense of repetitiveness and just means every playthrough is unique.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn the hard setting alone, the game is fiendishly tough, but every level completion is a huge achievement. It mixes the right amount of platformer and shoot 'em up. From the get-go, it's lots of fun and easy to pick up and play but hard to master which are usually the signs of the best games. It incorporates lots of elements like levelling up, character loadout and customisation with a beautiful game with lots of action. It's a sheer joy to play.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Fury Unleashed Review","post_excerpt":"Combo-driven rougelite","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"fury-unleashed-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:22:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:22:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205041","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204709,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-03-23 15:30:12","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-23 15:30:12","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Studio Nanafushi<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC, PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Switch<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action, Indie<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Marvelous Europe<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDead or School is a fantastic side-scrolling shooter\/beat 'em up. It's a highly stylized Japanese cartoony adventure that is big on the zombie survival theme. You are Hisako who has been forced underground due to the zombie apocalypse. She must fight the zombies and return to her life above ground. If you have ever been to Tokyo you will recognize a whole host of subways you must battle out of. You are equipped with an array of guns to fight the horde.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI have to say the animation is stunning and there is real detail to every cut scene, level and conversation in the game. There is a real cinematic feel to the cut-scenes and in-game story too, The graphics and level design add to the sense of this apocalyptic world Hisako inhabits, there is a contrast from the character animation of main characters and gruesome zombies. The main characters are bright and have that amazing manga\/anime style with a colourful design, as opposed to the zombies which are dark, creepy and scary. This dichotomy really permeates the whole game and gives a sense of foreboding. The level design is a mix of underground stations ruined by the zombies and other end of world events, you must navigate from subway station to subway station to fight zombies.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere is a solid and enjoyable levelling up system through the game, each level you progress through will allow you to gain sufficient points to level up, you can customise your loadout and improve and upgrade your guns too. The gameplay hits that sweet spot between 2.5D shooting while having enough puzzles and platform aspects to keep you going. While the zombies can get a bit tedious, mid-level and end-level bosses break up the gameplay superbly. I have enjoyed many 2.5D shooters and beat em ups, Dead or School with its fantastic visuals and stunning character design add for a satisfying and rewarding experience. The story is particularly bad in Dead or School, it's a case of it's so bad that is good. Lots of elements of horror present throughout.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's a really slick and beautifully presented game, the mechanics are straightforward and you will be flying along in no time. I would like\/prefer an option where you could skip the cut scenes quicker and an entire audio narration would have been ideal. These are small gripes in an otherwise enjoyable experience.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI would recommend a venture into the underground world Dead or School with Hisako.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Dead or School Review","post_excerpt":"Fight for survival ","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dead-or-school-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:25:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:25:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204709","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":204274,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2019-10-02 15:53:59","post_date_gmt":"2019-10-02 15:53:59","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Deck13<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action\/RPG<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Focus Home Interactive<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u201cOn the way to Jericho City, your plane is shot down by a mysterious storm and crash-lands in the outskirts. You wake up weeks later in a derelict detention facility inside the city. Armor-clad soldiers enforce Martial Law, robots are on a rampage, and a dark, expanding nano storm looms over the cityscape...\u201d<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nThat was a quick preview of the game history, \u201cThe surge 2\u201d brings you to the city of Jericho, a city that people KILL for scraps, get ready for brutal melee fights where you need to cut off parts of the enemy that you want to loot. The game starts with you waking up in a prison after the plane crash, you come across with the city of Jericho under a nanovirus called dFrag, which infects its inhabitants with a kind of evil artificial intelligence. If you think the crash wasn't enough, you still have to deal with religious fanatics who believe that this virus is an Evil Force or salvation for the End Times.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nYour main goal is to save some girl, for me, they should have worked a bit more on the plot to get you more interested since the beginning but during the game, the history does start to hook you more.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\nCreating your character: There are 6 options of classes with a profession and a background, unfortunately, there aren\u2019t many options for you to choose during the formation of your character but at the end it doesn\u2019t really matter because you will be using a huge armour over it, that brings us to an awesome detail on this game that is the fact that everything that you equip changes you visually which gives you the sensation of \u201cMy character is unique\u201d <\/span>I wanna start talking about the tutorial, which is fantastic! It is simple, quick and very efficient. Putting you in the face of danger right away, that helps you to understand and memorize how everything works. The things that the tutorial doesn\u2019t cover are no problem for you to get it by yourself.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game \u201ccoin\u201d is the scrap you collect, it works like experience points and also virtual currency within the game and can be used to evolve your energy core (which also works as a reference for your character's level), upgrade weapons, and purchase items from merchants.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Upgrade system is pretty simple and fun because it gives you the precise sensation that you are in total control of where your character is going. The strongest point, in my opinion, is the fact that if you want to upgrade your arms you have to go after somebody that has an altered arm and SLICE IT OFF! Same for all other parts. The weapons upgrade is also very simple to understand and also really cool to do it because it shows you very clearly what you are changing, making the game EVEN more personalized.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nSomething that deserves a great highlight are the drones you have! Each with a specific function like; fire, spray (graffiti on any structure of the game, a mechanism similar to that of the Souls franchise, which alerts other players to secret paths, nearby dangers, etc.), put your flag, etc.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nThe fighting system is simple to understand and demands a lot of strategy from you and patience, you have to aim a specific part of the body to attack, the boss fights can take a while because you need to take your time during the combat but they are all awesome to go through.<\/span>\r\nTo recover your health bar, you must spend a power module, and at the same time, to fill that module you must defeat your opponents. That is, if you are close to death, practically the only chance to recover is to face an opponent. The other way is to find a recovery point.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTip: Keep an eye for weak points (if you are not looking for any specific parts) and be \u201cpatient\u201d, the fights require some real thinking and attention to your stamina (you need it to perform an attack). An exposed area will take more damages so they are better to finish quickly an opponent, the parts with armour are more resistant but cutting that part of will give you the upgrade piece or that armour will be available for you to create. Another great tip that is to use the \"parry\", for common enemies and also for bosses. Mastering this mechanics, which is not as demanding as other games in the genre, is fundamental for those who want to play the game more calmly.<\/span>\r\nPs: Get ready to die A LOT\u2026 no surprise there since we are talking about a \u201cSOULS\u201d kind of game<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe graphics are not the best part of the game, even on the PS4 the textures take a while to render\u2026 I have no big complains about the graphics but that \u201cnon-finished\u201d texture is something that disturbs and to be honest is very outdated.<\/span>\r\nThe thematic is INCREDIBLE! And it goes well with the \u201cSouls\u201d way. I\u2019m a BIG fan of the \u201cCyber Punk\u201d thematic.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nSounds & Music: Unfortunately, I haven\u2019t much to say about this topic, because the job done on the voices were really well done and you can also notice a big variety of accents (I\u2019m a fan of accents). The music fits really well in the game but is almost unnoticeable, I believe that may cause a \u201cfade effect\u201d on the music, don\u2019t get me wrong the music is cool but it does not stand out, the fact that the song is not \u201cloud\u201d all the time gives you a good immersion.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI haven\u2019t played the first game, but as far as I could see this apple didn\u2019t fall far from the tree and you don\u2019t need to play the first one to understand what is going on, the games are not directly related. The game has a great mix between explaining too much and go find it works by yourself. The equipment\u2019s design is great! The game atmosphere is perfect! The last time I remember seeing something worried with the details of your surroundings was on the movie \u201cROBOCOP\u201d, just like on the movie you can watch the NEWS on the TVs, that may sound silly but it does give you a perfect notion of what is going on in the city without you having to hear from some NPC. The game has a great dynamism there are several types of weapon available that will suit different play styles. If you like fast attacks, it is possible to wear \"gloves\" that do less damage but also uses less \u201cstamina\u201d on each attack and allow tactics like \"hit and run\" more easily. Those who like to use heavy weaponry will have weapons of high damage, but are slower and use more energy in each movement, the game allows you to create up to three models of equipment, it is possible to have sets that adapt to various situations... Something that can be annoying is having to kill the same \u201cpeople\u201d over and over again, but it is a \u201cmark\u201d of the \u201cSOULS\u201d series. And that forces you to go even further every time you play and give you that \u201cfear of dying\u201d that the games nowadays don\u2019t have it anymore, the games are always saving every 5 minutes. <\/span>Playing \u201cThe Surge 2\u201d made me remember a lot a game called \u201cBloodBorn\u201d but with the cyber punk thematic. The maps are easy to memorize and so carefully done.<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nEnjoy the slow motion gore scenes<\/span>\r\n\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"The Surge 2 Review","post_excerpt":"Hardcore action RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"the-surge-2-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:28:13","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:28:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=204274","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":203853,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2019-05-24 14:32:20","post_date_gmt":"2019-05-24 14:32:20","post_content":"Developer:\u00a0<\/strong>Asobo Studio<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/strong>Action\/Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Focus Home Interactive<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFollow the grim tale of young Amicia and her little brother Hugo (Who has an unknown disease forcing him to spend his childhood locked in his room, so for that reason he never saw the world per se) in a heartrending journey through one of the darkest hours of history. Hunted by Inquisition soldiers and surrounded by unstoppable swarms of rats, Amicia and Hugo will learn how to trust each other as they struggle to survive against overwhelming odds and will fight to find the doctor that was taking care of Hugo in this brutal, unforgiving world.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Year is 1349. The plague ravages the Kingdom of France. Amicia and her younger brother Hugo are pursued by the Inquisition through villages devastated by the disease. On their way, they will have to join forces with other children and evade swarms of rats using fire and light. Aided only by the link that binds their fates together, they will face untold horrors in their struggle to survive, as their adventure begins\u2026 the time of innocence ends.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEnough of what we know already! Let\u00b4s get into this game!<\/span>\r\n\r\nA Plague Tale: Innocence it\u2019s a third person stealth\/story driven kind of game but if you are not a fan of the genre (like I was BEFORE playing this game) I STRONGLY advise you to try this game out! The game follows a straight line so there is no real difficulty for you to accomplish the game (There is no Easy, Medium or Hard mode), the game also doesn\u2019t give you many options other than where you should go if you try to go to a place that the game doesn\u2019t want you to go you will face an invisible wall that blocks you from going there, the open areas have a path for you to follow but you can look for items like \u201cgifts\u201d, these items have a story behind them, and if you are into history its guaranteed that you will like to read each one of them.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe puzzles: The puzzles aren\u2019t hard to solve, because you always have the resources you need either at hand or really near you when you need it and the characters explain exactly what you have to do and how to do it. Don\u2019t get me wrong! That DEFINITELY does not make the game bad, actually, the puzzles and sneaking through the inquisitors are one of the best things on the game. \u00a0To help you get past the inquisitors and the puzzles Amicia has a Sling, which you can give a good upgrade, after learning alchemy you can create stun ammo or fireballs (Or Fire Stones if you like hahaha). You can also expand your carrying capacity, improve your resistance \u201carmor\u201d or even reduce the noise you make when walking with these upgrades. Playing as Amicia the game mechanics work very well BUT I do have a small issue on that part\u2026 for the first hours that I played the game, I found it very \u201cheavy\u201d to control Amicia, after getting used to it, it was ok. I read some people saying that other characters could be a challenge for you to fulfil your puzzles and that they have a bit of a delay to follow your commands and that could be the end for you\u2026 I strongly disagree, if you play the game properly and pay attention to the NPCs you won\u00b4t have any problem like I didn\u2019t. Another great thing on the game is that if a rat or an inquisitor gets you\u2026 that\u2019s it\u2026 try again! BUT this isn\u2019t a real problem to this game because the auto-save is very reliable, it saves your progress all the time so you don\u2019t go back too much from where you died.<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nOne of the options you have is to face the inquisitors with your sling and for that, you can count with an auto-aim system to hit them on the head, don\u00b4t try to turn into some kind of Rambo and face many inquisitors at once because you won\u2019t be able to face too many of them. Aside from your sling, you can choose to throw stones (Or jars) with your hand to call enemies\u00b4 attention and the most important thing of all is that when you use your hand instead of using your sling you don\u2019t make any noise.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf I wasn\u2019t writing a review I would just say \u201cNAILED IT\u201d hahaha but like Jack, the Ripper would say \u201cLet\u00b4s go piece by piece\u201d \u2026 (This expression works better in Portuguese I guess hahaha).<\/span>\r\n\r\nRATS DUDE! RATS EVERYWERE! ANGRY! BLOODTHISTY ANGRY MULTIPLE RATS! They are the main thing on this game, the sound of them squealing around you or when they break through walls or come out of the floor\u2026 \u00a0 Craving for a piece of your flesh is real\u2026 really disturbing! But in some points, it\u2019s a bit \u201cclumsy?\u201d or \u201cbumbling?\u201d I\u00b4m not sure\u2026 the thing is that they walk through each other and don\u00b4t follow the laws of gravity (aside from other bugs), which breaks the immersion for a few seconds, unfortunately. Like I said before, the sound and the number of rats that are coming for you is at least agonizing as hell, as it should be.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nThe characters voice: That is something that the creators need to work on it and improve a bit. I played the game both in English and French to see if there was any \u201cacting\u201d difference and the conclusion was: None at all\u2026 It\u00b4s the same, to be honest It was really hard to play the game in French because I don\u00b4t speak French so I needed the subtitles and since the game has some really struggling action scenes, you have to choose between read what they are talking or run for your life\u2026its nearly impossible to do both.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Soundtrack\/ Environment: They have made a BEAUTIFUL soundtrack for \u201cThe Plague Tale\u201d it has all the elements that the game atmosphere needs and totally goes with the scenarios and what the game is trying to pass! The soundtrack basically walks together with the environment that is full of accurate history moments from the XIV century, everything is well built, and the graphics are beautiful, giving you the exact sensation of how things look like on that dark period, it is very immersive.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI really hope that \u201cInnocence\u201d it\u2019s just the beginning and that this game is just a first chapter of the \u201cPlague Tales\u201d because you can easily see that this game is made by people who LOVE what they\u00b4re doing! What they accomplished here is quite unique, because every time we see a medieval game the first things that come to our mind is \u201cOhhh another RPG\u2026 An Action game\u2026 etc\u201d but not this time! They brought a very new approach to the theme.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game has 17 chapters and has a lot of stealth\/sneak parts which I never really enjoyed until now. The graphics are excellent! The plot is really HEAVY and the kid\u00b4s innocence makes everything darker. Unfortunately, there are some ugly bugs (which I understand in a company that is \u201cstarting\u201d this kind of games now). The game has some strong points like the real danger feeling that the action scenes give you and how well built is the brother and sister relationship and also the fact that the kid you\u00b4re protecting is not annoying like normal kids in games are, these elements help the game to \u201ccatch\u201d you pretty quickly. \u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe environment is unbelievable! They are scary, disturbed, horrible, gory and gives you that agony that we all love in a game, right? Hahaha, the developers described their landscapes like this:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cThis Game may contain content not appropriate for all ages, or may not be appropriate for viewing at work: Frequent Violence or Gore, General Mature Content\u201d.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSo that\u2019s it! The game has all the elements to be an EPIC 10, but unfortunately, it is really hard to get it right on the first time. Hope to hear about the next game really soon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"A Plague Tale: Innocence Review","post_excerpt":"The Year is 1349","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-plague-tale-innocence-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:30:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:30:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=203853","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":203680,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2019-04-24 15:08:43","post_date_gmt":"2019-04-24 15:08:43","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0One More Level<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 4, Xbox One (Reviewed), PC<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/strong>Action, Indie<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublished by:<\/strong> Techland Publishing<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nYou play as the original odd couple in this ultra violent and amazingly fun game that is Gods Trigger.

It's a top down shooter with elements of stealth and or strategy, depending on your approach to life \/ games. You can either play co-op or single player, my buzz was single player. A single button allows for a quick shift between characters, Angel or Demon, with their own particularly killing style which can be upgraded throughout the game. A shiny narrative and a comic book feel add to this glossy and well presented game.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Level design is key to the game play, each stage allows for different approaches and the arcade feel to the gameplay are just superb. There is a real enjoyment and satisfaction as you progress through each section of each level, checkpoints are well spaced out and when you die which is a lot the checkpoints are handy. Graphics and animations are slick and a visual feast, the killing, the blood and the voice acting lends to a great experience.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n\r\nThis game is crazy fun, with loads of action and has that element of addictiveness that makes you want to just keep playing. Really simple and elegant controls <\/span>allows for the instant gratification to draw you in but keeps you coming back. The level design and your approach style dictate the way you want to play and it's up to you. I love the fact that a single hit from an enemy results in death, this level of toughness adds so much to the game. Superb graphics, environment and a cool comic book feel with great story telling make this a fantastic game.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\r\n

Dead or Alive is the latest in a long line of the series, I haven't played all 6 incarnations of the game but am quite familiar with series. The breast physics are still there. For the uninitiated, it's a beat em up with hyper realistic characters and interactive backgrounds. It's a throwback to the old fighting game setup. Fighters have a varying background story which adds little to the game but gives an air of some character development and allows for a story mode. Don't expect an RPG story with depth and proper character development.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
Fighters range from boxers, wrestlers, martial artists, muay thai,\u00a0 karate, drunken fighters and ninjas. Each fighting style has unique attributes, techniques and special moves. The fighting style is nuanced and while bashing buttons can win you the odd fight, a seasoned pro knows how to combine the right moves to take down the luckiest and semi-skilled fighter.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
Quest and training modes are particularly useful for those who are\u00a0new to the series or new to fighting games, an emphasis has been placed on the ease of game play with this DOA 6. I have to say it's easy to pick up and play with little direction required however to become a really good fighter, training is required. The practice and quest modes allow for players to pick up the subtleties such as <\/span>counter attacks, special moves, dodging, holds and much more. I picked up these after playing through the story mode, I was eager to get into the fighting.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
I first played through a round of the story mode before learning all the techniques of the game, it would have been more beneficial to play the quest mode or training mode first. Ring rust did show towards the latter end of the story mode where I did lose a few times, button bashing will only get you so far. One benefit of playing the story mode is the exposure to the diverse set of fighters, then you start leaning towards a style that you want to use. In my case, it was the karate and ninja fighters who I wanted to learn in depth.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
The actual fight mechanics\u00a0and presentation of the game is superb. Ultimately a fighting game is first judged on the gameplay and fight mechanics first. It's an immersive experience which is helped by the graphics, textures and general presentation, it's slick and easy on the eye. A dearth of fighters allows for that choice of fighters that fit the gamer. The interactive and destructive background add risk, some breathtaking transitions between environments too. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, the story mode in terms of a game mode is just alright, I understand the addition of it but it's just okay. I think if you love a beat em up like me, this game is a winner. the inclusion of online play is also another plus, it's solid and feels like playing someone sitting at your console with you. This is the game I will be playing for months on end and will be even more fun with friends.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n
