The bad guys this time are Mind Flayers, powerful enemies, who control the minds of their opponents and enslave beings wherever they go. Things start off on board of the tentacle ship of a Mind Flayer, an unmistakably evil squid face that infected the player's character with his own little tadpole that crawls through your eye until your brain. After creating your own character, you will escape the ship in a collision before heading out to take the tadpole off your skull before you turned into a mindless zombie. It doesn't take long to gather a cast of companions whose goals align with yours, and you'll soon be exploring a large coastal region hoping to find a way to help yourself.<\/span><\/p>\r\nIn this initial access version, all of act 1 is playable, with two more to come in the next year or so, which means that there will be a lot of content eventually.<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe character creation is very diversified (unfortunately not the appearance and voice options, there are only a very few to choose, although, it is an early access version of the game and they might put a lot more options, for me seeing a bearded female dwarf was already awesome enough for now hahaha and you also can put a male voice in a female character (and vice versa). Take your time to build your character, after doing yours you have to build a \u201ccrush\u201d for you hahaha yeah! You read it right! You will have to build a person that you feel attracted too.<\/span><\/p>\r\nRight from the beginning, you can see that the graphics are beautiful and so is the soundtrack but I\u2019ll talk about them later on.<\/span><\/p>\r\n![\"baldulgate3_1\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/baldulgate3_1-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
During the game, you will face a dice simulation to decide what is going to happen, these \u201ctests\u201d occur from time to time when you make a decision that needs a certain ability like intelligence, dexterity, etc\u2026 It works like this, according to the situation the game will give you a target number that will automatically be shown already with the decrease of your bonuses, for example, if you have a +5 intelligence bonus and the target to get the successful \u201ctest\u201d is 15, the target number that will appear to you is 10. You have the possibility of loading just before a dice test so you can roll it again\u2026 I think the game should add an auto-save on those cases or something to \u201cavoid\u201d that because it takes away the whole meaning of playing an RPG with a dice system, but that\u2019s just my opinion of course. Another thing to drive the story is the choices you make during the dialogues, that\u2019s always fun for me because you get to interpret the character you created, for me, I\u2019m always a grumpy dwarf hahaha.<\/span><\/p>\r\nOh! Small tips; The tutorial is a bit hidden under the map, so if you need to have a look at it, and your inventory is based on weight so don\u2019t go picking everything you find when you are close to getting \u201cheavy\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe battles happen in turns and the mouse arrow shows you the percentage of success (keep both eyes on that). A good tip is to use the scenario in your favour, like jumping over small hills to run away from an enemy and still be able to attack it from distance (you can even say \u201cit\u2019s over Anakin! I have the high ground!\u201d if you want to\u2026 I\u2019m joking). During battle you can loot the dead bodies\u2026 that was new for me.<\/span><\/p>\r\nSomething awesome that I saw on the game is that the scenario is very interactive, you can do a few things that makes the game very dynamic like; dip, shove, hide, jump, throw, dash, knock and help. You can move freely when not in battle, during battle you have a yellow stamina bar that allows you to walk a certain amount of steps.<\/span><\/p>\r\n![\"baldurgate3_2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/baldurgate3_2-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
Something really important in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is the camping, so your party can rest and restore their energy, but if you want to make changes on your party you need to go to the \u201cmain camping\u201d, to do that you need to find a purple rune carved on a stone to be teleported to it (you can also use this rune to fast travel around the map which is very big).<\/span><\/p>\r\nWhat caught my attention was that inside your party it can grow certain\u2026 intrigue among them and it can get ugly, your actions also have an impact on what your party thinks of you, depending on their alignment.<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe game\u2019s classes so far are;<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Cleric - Life Domain; Light Domain; Trickery Domain<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Fighter - Not a sub-option<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Ranger \u2013 With an option of \u201cfavourite\u201d enemy and also to choose Natural Explorer (each sub-option gives a different bonus, ex: If you beat a Tammer you will summon a family member, with the urban tracker you have proficiency in disguising and breaking down doors, the other three give resistance to fire, cold and poison (Wasteland Wonder: Fire \/ Cold \/ Poison))<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Rogue: No Sub Class<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Warlock: The Fiend or The Great Old One<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Wizard: There is no subclass<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe soundtrack is delightful to hear, it goes well with everything that is happening in the game and it only gets better and better. The voice acting is very good! I enjoyed the characters' \u201cenergy\u201d that those actors put on them, the narrator\u2019s voice is very relaxing and goes well with the game\u2019s mood. The only thing that usually bothers me is that the main character spends most of the time quiet\u2026 like he was mute.<\/span><\/p>\r\n![\"baldurgate3_3\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/baldurgate3_3-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
The game\u2019s graphics are awesome, there are so many rich details, for example, one of the tiefling\u2019s eyes that are \u201con fire\u201d or the scenario\u2019s lighting and \u201cmovement\u201d is something outstanding on Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. The scenario as I said before is very dynamic, your spells can interact with it, for example, if the path is on fire you can use a water spell to put it out, if the place you are is very dark and you have a character with a good \u201cnight vision\u201d, you just have to select him from your party and boom! You will instantaneously see better through the darkness.<\/span><\/p>\r\nI\u2019ll keep my impressions to a minimum because it is an early version of the game, so you will see many bugs that are being solved with time, to be honest none of them bothered me because I kept in mind that this was just the early version. I had the chance to play the game on its maximum graphics and that allowed me to appreciate the work that the developers had made on this game.<\/span><\/p>\r\nOn overall it is an old school RPG, there isn\u2019t any \u201cnews\u201d on the genre, but Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 does a great job on bringing some new features, and this game has a huge impact on its long-time fans.<\/span><\/p>\r\nI\u2019ll give an 8.0 to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 because even though is an early version and you have to ignore the bugs and the loading screens take a long to load (and I believe my PC was more than okay to play it). The game is very involving, and the story, characters, soundtrack, graphics are awesome and it is getting constant updates.<\/span><\/p>\r\nMy pc has;<\/span><\/p>\r\n- GeForce GTX 1080<\/span><\/p>\r\n- 16GB RAM<\/span><\/p>\r\n- i7<\/span><\/p>\r\n- Direct X12<\/span><\/p>\r\nOverall: 8\/10<\/strong>

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![\"easternexorcist1\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/easternexorcist1-1024x576.jpg\")
\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![\"easternexorcist2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/easternexorcist2-1024x576.jpg\")
\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":205260,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2020-09-02 16:09:51","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-02 15:09:51","post_content":"Developer: <\/strong>Owlcat Games\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/span><\/strong> PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One\r\n<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/span><\/strong>RPG<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Deep Silver\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe Pathfinder main story: Kingmaker will take us through the Stolen Lands. Throughout the adventure, we'll see plenty of well know Pathfinder characters (of course that is only for those who already know Pathfinder\u2019s tabletop RPG game) and locations, with a dozen companions to get acquainted and equipped. It will delight fans of classic PC RPGs. In Pathfinder: Kingmaker there are moments of humor, political intrigue and warring factions, all of this is pretty much expected from this kind of RPG\/Fantasy. In Pathfinder each companion will have his\/her personality and moral compass, our actions, questions and answers that we give can cause friction with them and make your companion to even leave the group.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs the main story campaign begins you will need to deal with a group of bandits who have been terrorizing the inhabitants of a region known as Stolen Lands, but first you will be able to interact with countless characters to get to know their personalities, alignments and objectives in order to count on their help in the future (or not). The first quest, which at first glance seems quite simple, can take players, even in the first hours of the game, to encounters with enemies that regardless of how well familiar you are with this type of game, will result in the death of your group.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game has a lot of different options for difficulty (Including custom), but they are all so well detailed so choose wisely. The game mechanics are simple\u2026 but there are a lot of them, so take your time to get used to it, for that the game\u2019s tutorial is very complete and extremely detailed so you shouldn\u2019t have any problem.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"PFWOTR_6\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PFWOTR_6-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nThe character creation was the real challenge for me, and I consider myself an expert on the RPG area, there are (like I said before) way to many options to unlock some skills\u2026 and you have to understand exactly how it works to get where you were planning to\u2026 according with my research is pretty much the same as the tabletop version of the game but for a first-time player it can be very very very confusing\u2026 So, my tip is to be patient and read everything as many times as you need to get it right.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe dialogues take a huge part to this game, which was a big success to me and here is why, during the dialogues, you will notice that some words are bolded in green, these words have their full explanation if you press the glossary button, that is pretty handy for who isn\u2019t familiar with the Pathfinder\u2019s lore. If you give proper attention to the dialogues you will easily have a better game experience. You will also notice that because we don\u2019t have a proper dungeon master to describe things, the game shows the written description of what that person is doing or how they are reacting in details for you, and I must say, they nailed it!<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe camping works to heal\/recover spells from your characters and rest, each one of your characters can have a job to do during it, like; hunting, camp camouflage, cooking, guarding and special roles. Pay attention to the camp protection because it can be attacked during the night (camping inside a dungeon or on any dangerous area will increase that matter). Using the camp saves the game and it doesn\u2019t run out of times that you can use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"PFWOTR_4\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PFWOTR_4-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nLevel up is pretty standard\u2026 although there can be so many options that a first-time player can get very confused, to be honest, I believe that even an experienced player still finds it confusing. Is interesting to know that you can mix classes if you want when you level up, all you need is to follow the requirements and you are gold.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe map is where you spend a big part of your time, there you will have the paths to go through and the cities you can visit when you get enough information of a place that you have to go, that place will automatically appear so you can make you way there. When inside a city or an ordinary area, pay attention to the skills check, because as a true RPG this game asks for specific skills to do some specific actions.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game\u2019s quests require you to explore the map by following the clues that were given to you\u2026 but that is a lot of times very confusing and not at all clear\u2026 what you can do to make it \u201ceasier\u201d is to pay very close attention to the names of places that the npc gives you when the quest is accepted.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"PFWOTR_2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PFWOTR_2-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nWell\u2026 once you finish the Stag lord\u2019s quest you become the new baron\u2026 and then the game turns into another one completely, I personally didn\u2019t like it so much because it doesn\u2019t go so well with the vibe the early game gives you (a pool of radiance feeling), but if you are into managing stuff, in this case, a \u201ckingdom\u201d you will definitely have a good time, it just requires you taking plenty of time reading and making a decision, which is pretty much what someone sitting in a throne have to do, you will have plenty of action during the quest but you will have to keep your full mind on your kingdom to keep everyone happy. One of the difficulty\u2019s options before you start the game has the option of you not having to deal with these things, which for me would have been better, but since I was writing this review, I preferred a full game experience.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe battles are awesome! And you have the feeling of total control! The game has an automatic dice rolling system that works really well (when you are lucky enough). The combat is turn-based, so you have plenty of time to get your strategy built, something important is to always keep your eye on the combat log which has all the information in details of what happened in battle, it is located on the right bottom corner of the screen. You can also during battle access the menu to change your items, just press R2, also pay attention to the game\u2019s tips about some specific foes, because some of them only die with a specific element or magic. Each turn you can do two actions among a few options like; attack, walk, use a spell and a few others.<\/span>\r\n\r\nVoice Acting- The voice acting in this game is very well made, unfortunately, it\u2019s not all the time, only a few characters have the voice acting in some specific situations.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSounds- The game sound are well put, like the sound of a pencil writing when you gain XP or something is added to your character.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game artwork is beautiful and carefully done.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game graphics are a bit \u201cold\u201d for that matter (looks like Warcraft III) but they don\u2019t get on your way of a good emersion, you will be delighted with them clime changes such as; Raining, fog, sunny, pitch dark night and etc. A nice detail is when you finish fighting an ambush (Which you can choose to avoid) there is an animation of a meeple falling, that helps a lot on the emersion of the game that feeling that you are playing some boardgame.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"PFWOTR_5\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PFWOTR_5-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nMy version had the 6 following DLCs<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\nVarnhold\u2019s Lot -\u00a0Just as you were claiming your first title, another hero from the Stolen Lands also became a baron: Maegar Varn, captain of the mercenary band of Varnling ruler of Varnhold. In this DLC, you join Varn as your general and experience first-hand the value of Varnhold's story. Playing a completely new story, parallel to the main story, players are important to the results of this adventure into the main story, facing the consequences of their choices as they advance with the main group and the story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBeneath The Stolen Lands\u00a0- Brave adventurers meet with the self-proclaimed protector of Golarion and discover what secrets are buried under the Stolen Lands, in an ever-changing maze of madness, where nothing is what it seems and to defend the lands against one of the deadliest enemies the world has ever seen. Enter the dungeon as your main character. You can also wait for an invitation from a mysterious protector of Golarion as you go through the main story. The default version of the dungeon is included in the main campaign, allowing you to use your character and companions to conquer the dark depths.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Wildcards -\u00a0The intrepid explorers of the Stolen Lands can discover a new playable race the Tieflings, enjoy the power of a new playable kinetic class, the Tiefling Kineticist his own rich and engaging story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBloody Mess -\u00a0The name says it all - adding more blood to the game as an additional option.<\/span>\r\n\r\nArcane Unleashed -\u00a0DLC adding more spells to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nRoyal Ascension -\u00a0Includes soundtrack, Digital Artbook, two character card in the game, board game module, hi-rez map and a red panda.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"PFWOTR_3\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/PFWOTR_3-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nTips<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n- Variety of characters classes are vital for the game so keep that in mind.<\/span>\r\n\r\n- Keep in mind that your abilities like mobility, athletics, knowledge, etc are summed to solve stuff.<\/span>\r\n\r\n- If you pass a part of the dialogue by accident you can easily scroll the dialogue box up to see what you missed, that\u2019s very useful to make hard decisions\u2026 believe me.<\/span>\r\n\r\n- There is an early quest that you will have nightmares, my council is to solve that asap because your main character will get very tired for not sleeping well\u2026 you can sleep on the trading post (in a bed) to get your energies back up, but camping? Nope\u2026 you will be tormented by these nightmares\u2026<\/span>\r\n\r\n- Some items are \u201cmade\u201d to be sold to a specific person, so read the item description before selling (some of them even add to the game\u2019s lore is sold to the right person, others can just give you way more money).\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nFirst of all, and most important before you buy Pathfinder, you must like reading.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOn this new version of the game, the battles have the option of using a turn-based mode, which gives the game a more of a \u201ctabletop\u201d kind of look and let\u2019s be honest\u2026 more RPG like, also allow you to see the attacks\/animation better. The \u201cfirst part\u201d of the game makes you feel like you are playing a true RPG.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe don\u2019t have a dungeon master so they did their best so we can miss it, and kudos to them!

\r\n\r\nAs I said before this version of the game comes with 6 DLCs of the game, so be a bit careful when choosing between the \u201cmain story\u201d and the DLCs\u2026 it can be very frustrating discover that you pick the \u201cwrong\u201d option to start the game\u2026 I mean\u2026 it still works just fine\u2026 But is better to get how the game works beforehand.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor those not familiarized with D&D RPGs, in general, don\u2019t worry, the game gives you a complete explanation for everything\u2026 Just be ready to read a lot, but if you are familiar with the genre you will be able to deduce some things.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game gives you XP for actions that goes with what you choose for your characters (again, like a true RPG).<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe answers are really important and they are fare! Not like some options on Witcher 3 for example, where you answer someone<\/span> with a \u201cno I don\u2019t agree\u201d and Gerald ends up killing that person\u2026\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nEvery dungeon you \u201cclean\u201d remains clean afterwards, also the traps that were trigged will stay there as well for a very long time.<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo get a better view of what is happening on the battlefield, the camera could spin to see different angles of it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u201cBad times and good times\u201d;\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nPros<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n-Your abilities unlock different options on the dialogues.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n-Your group formation whilst walking is important, the game already gives you some options, but my tip is to do your own formation.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCons<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n-There are (at least on the early game) very few options of weapons and armour\u2026 that can be something really disappointing for some player\u2026<\/span>\r\n\r\n- When you are selling items to a merchant you can select several items to sell all at once\u2026 what you can do (but even though is very confusing to learn how to use) is use the bulk selling which as far as I understood is an automatic selling of some items, a tip that I give you is to not sell the books\u2026 they can be useful for a future quest\u2026 so careful with what you are selling.<\/span>\r\n\r\n- [BUG] On the character build the voices can have a bug, and just stop showing how they sound like.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 6.5 \/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Definitive Edition Review","post_excerpt":"Explore and conquer","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"pathfinder-kingmaker-definitive-edition-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:19:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:19:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205260","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":20},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_22"};

Cloudpunk is the journey of the newbie driver, Rania, who has fled her home-world to become a delivery driver in Navalis to make ends meet. The game centres on Rania's first night delivering packages for Cloudpunk, an illicit delivery company. Game mechanics involve driving through a dystopian pixelated world and hand-delivering packages in either first person or 3rd person. While the mechanics and game-play are straightforward and easy to get to grips, it mainly serves as a way to deliver the heavily driven narrative story of Navalis and the ills of this world.<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe neon-noir pixelated world of Navalis is visually stunning. The mixture of neon-bright skyscapes mixed with darkness brings the bleakness of the world to life. Pixelated blocky rendering adds to the city and doesn't detract from the game. Different parts of the city have different density of people, cars and buildings which makes each part of the city worthy of a visit. The main storyline will guide you through the many parts of the city.<\/span><\/p>\r\n![\"cloudpunk_1\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cloudpunk_1-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
This game is driven heavily by the interactions of \"Control\" (the voice of Cloudpunk) and Rania. However, as you complete more missions and interact with people, you begin to scratch away at the surface of Navalis and find out more about this place. The missions make Rania choose between keeping the status quo in the city or challenging the powerful and rich. Rania's AI companion Camus acts as a sounding board, large parts of the game involve monologues where we uncover more about Rania and the isolation she feels. The game excels in the narrative aspects, the storyline and creating the world and people of Navalis. There are a few drawbacks, the use of character animation as opposed to static pictures would have brought the characters to life when they are conversing.<\/span><\/p>\r\nI was playing the game on the Xbox and found the load times frustratingly slow. When the maps did load, I found your car unresponsive and then frame rates would severely drop too. Elements of the map and markers weren't particularly clear especially at the start of the game. These were all minor annoyances in an otherwise very enjoyable game.<\/span><\/p>\r\n![\"cloudpunk_2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cloudpunk_2-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\n
Cloundpunk is an interesting mix of narrative-driven game-play with superb visuals that embrace the neon-noir style. Thematically the game looks at poverty, isolation, greed and class which it underpins the majority of missions. The interaction between Control and Rania drives the narrative and is further enhanced by missions. Certain missions will require the player to make judgement calls on what the best approach is. The game is about 9 hours long. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the mechanics and how it played. The load times and framerate issues were a minor issue in the grand scheme of things.<\/span><\/p>\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n","post_title":"Cloudpunk Review","post_excerpt":"Cruise the neon skies","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"cloudpunk-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:11:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:11:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205572","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205475,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2020-10-22 15:04:19","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-22 14:04:19","post_content":"

The bad guys this time are Mind Flayers, powerful enemies, who control the minds of their opponents and enslave beings wherever they go. Things start off on board of the tentacle ship of a Mind Flayer, an unmistakably evil squid face that infected the player's character with his own little tadpole that crawls through your eye until your brain. After creating your own character, you will escape the ship in a collision before heading out to take the tadpole off your skull before you turned into a mindless zombie. It doesn't take long to gather a cast of companions whose goals align with yours, and you'll soon be exploring a large coastal region hoping to find a way to help yourself.<\/span><\/p>\r\nIn this initial access version, all of act 1 is playable, with two more to come in the next year or so, which means that there will be a lot of content eventually.<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe character creation is very diversified (unfortunately not the appearance and voice options, there are only a very few to choose, although, it is an early access version of the game and they might put a lot more options, for me seeing a bearded female dwarf was already awesome enough for now hahaha and you also can put a male voice in a female character (and vice versa). Take your time to build your character, after doing yours you have to build a \u201ccrush\u201d for you hahaha yeah! You read it right! You will have to build a person that you feel attracted too.<\/span><\/p>\r\nRight from the beginning, you can see that the graphics are beautiful and so is the soundtrack but I\u2019ll talk about them later on.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
During the game, you will face a dice simulation to decide what is going to happen, these \u201ctests\u201d occur from time to time when you make a decision that needs a certain ability like intelligence, dexterity, etc\u2026 It works like this, according to the situation the game will give you a target number that will automatically be shown already with the decrease of your bonuses, for example, if you have a +5 intelligence bonus and the target to get the successful \u201ctest\u201d is 15, the target number that will appear to you is 10. You have the possibility of loading just before a dice test so you can roll it again\u2026 I think the game should add an auto-save on those cases or something to \u201cavoid\u201d that because it takes away the whole meaning of playing an RPG with a dice system, but that\u2019s just my opinion of course. Another thing to drive the story is the choices you make during the dialogues, that\u2019s always fun for me because you get to interpret the character you created, for me, I\u2019m always a grumpy dwarf hahaha.<\/span><\/p>\r\nOh! Small tips; The tutorial is a bit hidden under the map, so if you need to have a look at it, and your inventory is based on weight so don\u2019t go picking everything you find when you are close to getting \u201cheavy\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe battles happen in turns and the mouse arrow shows you the percentage of success (keep both eyes on that). A good tip is to use the scenario in your favour, like jumping over small hills to run away from an enemy and still be able to attack it from distance (you can even say \u201cit\u2019s over Anakin! I have the high ground!\u201d if you want to\u2026 I\u2019m joking). During battle you can loot the dead bodies\u2026 that was new for me.<\/span><\/p>\r\nSomething awesome that I saw on the game is that the scenario is very interactive, you can do a few things that makes the game very dynamic like; dip, shove, hide, jump, throw, dash, knock and help. You can move freely when not in battle, during battle you have a yellow stamina bar that allows you to walk a certain amount of steps.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
Something really important in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is the camping, so your party can rest and restore their energy, but if you want to make changes on your party you need to go to the \u201cmain camping\u201d, to do that you need to find a purple rune carved on a stone to be teleported to it (you can also use this rune to fast travel around the map which is very big).<\/span><\/p>\r\nWhat caught my attention was that inside your party it can grow certain\u2026 intrigue among them and it can get ugly, your actions also have an impact on what your party thinks of you, depending on their alignment.<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe game\u2019s classes so far are;<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Cleric - Life Domain; Light Domain; Trickery Domain<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Fighter - Not a sub-option<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Ranger \u2013 With an option of \u201cfavourite\u201d enemy and also to choose Natural Explorer (each sub-option gives a different bonus, ex: If you beat a Tammer you will summon a family member, with the urban tracker you have proficiency in disguising and breaking down doors, the other three give resistance to fire, cold and poison (Wasteland Wonder: Fire \/ Cold \/ Poison))<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Rogue: No Sub Class<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Warlock: The Fiend or The Great Old One<\/span><\/p>\r\n-Wizard: There is no subclass<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe soundtrack is delightful to hear, it goes well with everything that is happening in the game and it only gets better and better. The voice acting is very good! I enjoyed the characters' \u201cenergy\u201d that those actors put on them, the narrator\u2019s voice is very relaxing and goes well with the game\u2019s mood. The only thing that usually bothers me is that the main character spends most of the time quiet\u2026 like he was mute.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
The game\u2019s graphics are awesome, there are so many rich details, for example, one of the tiefling\u2019s eyes that are \u201con fire\u201d or the scenario\u2019s lighting and \u201cmovement\u201d is something outstanding on Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. The scenario as I said before is very dynamic, your spells can interact with it, for example, if the path is on fire you can use a water spell to put it out, if the place you are is very dark and you have a character with a good \u201cnight vision\u201d, you just have to select him from your party and boom! You will instantaneously see better through the darkness.<\/span><\/p>\r\nI\u2019ll keep my impressions to a minimum because it is an early version of the game, so you will see many bugs that are being solved with time, to be honest none of them bothered me because I kept in mind that this was just the early version. I had the chance to play the game on its maximum graphics and that allowed me to appreciate the work that the developers had made on this game.<\/span><\/p>\r\nOn overall it is an old school RPG, there isn\u2019t any \u201cnews\u201d on the genre, but Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 does a great job on bringing some new features, and this game has a huge impact on its long-time fans.<\/span><\/p>\r\nI\u2019ll give an 8.0 to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 because even though is an early version and you have to ignore the bugs and the loading screens take a long to load (and I believe my PC was more than okay to play it). The game is very involving, and the story, characters, soundtrack, graphics are awesome and it is getting constant updates.<\/span><\/p>\r\nMy pc has;<\/span><\/p>\r\n- GeForce GTX 1080<\/span><\/p>\r\n- 16GB RAM<\/span><\/p>\r\n- i7<\/span><\/p>\r\n- Direct X12<\/span><\/p>\r\nOverall: 8\/10<\/strong>

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":205260,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2020-09-02 16:09:51","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-02 15:09:51","post_content":"Developer: <\/strong>Owlcat Games\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/span><\/strong> PlayStation 4 (Reviewed), Xbox One\r\n<\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/span><\/strong>RPG<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Deep Silver\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe Pathfinder main story: Kingmaker will take us through the Stolen Lands. Throughout the adventure, we'll see plenty of well know Pathfinder characters (of course that is only for those who already know Pathfinder\u2019s tabletop RPG game) and locations, with a dozen companions to get acquainted and equipped. It will delight fans of classic PC RPGs. In Pathfinder: Kingmaker there are moments of humor, political intrigue and warring factions, all of this is pretty much expected from this kind of RPG\/Fantasy. In Pathfinder each companion will have his\/her personality and moral compass, our actions, questions and answers that we give can cause friction with them and make your companion to even leave the group.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs the main story campaign begins you will need to deal with a group of bandits who have been terrorizing the inhabitants of a region known as Stolen Lands, but first you will be able to interact with countless characters to get to know their personalities, alignments and objectives in order to count on their help in the future (or not). The first quest, which at first glance seems quite simple, can take players, even in the first hours of the game, to encounters with enemies that regardless of how well familiar you are with this type of game, will result in the death of your group.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game has a lot of different options for difficulty (Including custom), but they are all so well detailed so choose wisely. The game mechanics are simple\u2026 but there are a lot of them, so take your time to get used to it, for that the game\u2019s tutorial is very complete and extremely detailed so you shouldn\u2019t have any problem.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe character creation was the real challenge for me, and I consider myself an expert on the RPG area, there are (like I said before) way to many options to unlock some skills\u2026 and you have to understand exactly how it works to get where you were planning to\u2026 according with my research is pretty much the same as the tabletop version of the game but for a first-time player it can be very very very confusing\u2026 So, my tip is to be patient and read everything as many times as you need to get it right.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe dialogues take a huge part to this game, which was a big success to me and here is why, during the dialogues, you will notice that some words are bolded in green, these words have their full explanation if you press the glossary button, that is pretty handy for who isn\u2019t familiar with the Pathfinder\u2019s lore. If you give proper attention to the dialogues you will easily have a better game experience. You will also notice that because we don\u2019t have a proper dungeon master to describe things, the game shows the written description of what that person is doing or how they are reacting in details for you, and I must say, they nailed it!<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe camping works to heal\/recover spells from your characters and rest, each one of your characters can have a job to do during it, like; hunting, camp camouflage, cooking, guarding and special roles. Pay attention to the camp protection because it can be attacked during the night (camping inside a dungeon or on any dangerous area will increase that matter). Using the camp saves the game and it doesn\u2019t run out of times that you can use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLevel up is pretty standard\u2026 although there can be so many options that a first-time player can get very confused, to be honest, I believe that even an experienced player still finds it confusing. Is interesting to know that you can mix classes if you want when you level up, all you need is to follow the requirements and you are gold.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe map is where you spend a big part of your time, there you will have the paths to go through and the cities you can visit when you get enough information of a place that you have to go, that place will automatically appear so you can make you way there. When inside a city or an ordinary area, pay attention to the skills check, because as a true RPG this game asks for specific skills to do some specific actions.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game\u2019s quests require you to explore the map by following the clues that were given to you\u2026 but that is a lot of times very confusing and not at all clear\u2026 what you can do to make it \u201ceasier\u201d is to pay very close attention to the names of places that the npc gives you when the quest is accepted.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWell\u2026 once you finish the Stag lord\u2019s quest you become the new baron\u2026 and then the game turns into another one completely, I personally didn\u2019t like it so much because it doesn\u2019t go so well with the vibe the early game gives you (a pool of radiance feeling), but if you are into managing stuff, in this case, a \u201ckingdom\u201d you will definitely have a good time, it just requires you taking plenty of time reading and making a decision, which is pretty much what someone sitting in a throne have to do, you will have plenty of action during the quest but you will have to keep your full mind on your kingdom to keep everyone happy. One of the difficulty\u2019s options before you start the game has the option of you not having to deal with these things, which for me would have been better, but since I was writing this review, I preferred a full game experience.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe battles are awesome! And you have the feeling of total control! The game has an automatic dice rolling system that works really well (when you are lucky enough). The combat is turn-based, so you have plenty of time to get your strategy built, something important is to always keep your eye on the combat log which has all the information in details of what happened in battle, it is located on the right bottom corner of the screen. You can also during battle access the menu to change your items, just press R2, also pay attention to the game\u2019s tips about some specific foes, because some of them only die with a specific element or magic. Each turn you can do two actions among a few options like; attack, walk, use a spell and a few others.<\/span>\r\n\r\nVoice Acting- The voice acting in this game is very well made, unfortunately, it\u2019s not all the time, only a few characters have the voice acting in some specific situations.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSounds- The game sound are well put, like the sound of a pencil writing when you gain XP or something is added to your character.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game artwork is beautiful and carefully done.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game graphics are a bit \u201cold\u201d for that matter (looks like Warcraft III) but they don\u2019t get on your way of a good emersion, you will be delighted with them clime changes such as; Raining, fog, sunny, pitch dark night and etc. A nice detail is when you finish fighting an ambush (Which you can choose to avoid) there is an animation of a meeple falling, that helps a lot on the emersion of the game that feeling that you are playing some boardgame.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMy version had the 6 following DLCs<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\nVarnhold\u2019s Lot -\u00a0Just as you were claiming your first title, another hero from the Stolen Lands also became a baron: Maegar Varn, captain of the mercenary band of Varnling ruler of Varnhold. In this DLC, you join Varn as your general and experience first-hand the value of Varnhold's story. Playing a completely new story, parallel to the main story, players are important to the results of this adventure into the main story, facing the consequences of their choices as they advance with the main group and the story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBeneath The Stolen Lands\u00a0- Brave adventurers meet with the self-proclaimed protector of Golarion and discover what secrets are buried under the Stolen Lands, in an ever-changing maze of madness, where nothing is what it seems and to defend the lands against one of the deadliest enemies the world has ever seen. Enter the dungeon as your main character. You can also wait for an invitation from a mysterious protector of Golarion as you go through the main story. The default version of the dungeon is included in the main campaign, allowing you to use your character and companions to conquer the dark depths.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Wildcards -\u00a0The intrepid explorers of the Stolen Lands can discover a new playable race the Tieflings, enjoy the power of a new playable kinetic class, the Tiefling Kineticist his own rich and engaging story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBloody Mess -\u00a0The name says it all - adding more blood to the game as an additional option.<\/span>\r\n\r\nArcane Unleashed -\u00a0DLC adding more spells to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nRoyal Ascension -\u00a0Includes soundtrack, Digital Artbook, two character card in the game, board game module, hi-rez map and a red panda.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTips<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n- Variety of characters classes are vital for the game so keep that in mind.<\/span>\r\n\r\n- Keep in mind that your abilities like mobility, athletics, knowledge, etc are summed to solve stuff.<\/span>\r\n\r\n- If you pass a part of the dialogue by accident you can easily scroll the dialogue box up to see what you missed, that\u2019s very useful to make hard decisions\u2026 believe me.<\/span>\r\n\r\n- There is an early quest that you will have nightmares, my council is to solve that asap because your main character will get very tired for not sleeping well\u2026 you can sleep on the trading post (in a bed) to get your energies back up, but camping? Nope\u2026 you will be tormented by these nightmares\u2026<\/span>\r\n\r\n- Some items are \u201cmade\u201d to be sold to a specific person, so read the item description before selling (some of them even add to the game\u2019s lore is sold to the right person, others can just give you way more money).\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nFirst of all, and most important before you buy Pathfinder, you must like reading.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOn this new version of the game, the battles have the option of using a turn-based mode, which gives the game a more of a \u201ctabletop\u201d kind of look and let\u2019s be honest\u2026 more RPG like, also allow you to see the attacks\/animation better. The \u201cfirst part\u201d of the game makes you feel like you are playing a true RPG.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe don\u2019t have a dungeon master so they did their best so we can miss it, and kudos to them! Well done!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs I said before this version of the game comes with 6 DLCs of the game, so be a bit careful when choosing between the \u201cmain story\u201d and the DLCs\u2026 it can be very frustrating discover that you pick the \u201cwrong\u201d option to start the game\u2026 I mean\u2026 it still works just fine\u2026 But is better to get how the game works beforehand.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor those not familiarized with D&D RPGs, in general, don\u2019t worry, the game gives you a complete explanation for everything\u2026 Just be ready to read a lot, but if you are familiar with the genre you will be able to deduce some things.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game gives you XP for actions that goes with what you choose for your characters (again, like a true RPG).<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe answers are really important and they are fare! Not like some options on Witcher 3 for example, where you answer someone<\/span> with a \u201cno I don\u2019t agree\u201d and Gerald ends up killing that person\u2026\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nEvery dungeon you \u201cclean\u201d remains clean afterwards, also the traps that were trigged will stay there as well for a very long time.<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo get a better view of what is happening on the battlefield, the camera could spin to see different angles of it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u201cBad times and good times\u201d;\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nPros<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n-Your abilities unlock different options on the dialogues.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n-Your group formation whilst walking is important, the game already gives you some options, but my tip is to do your own formation.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCons<\/span><\/strong>\r\n\r\n-There are (at least on the early game) very few options of weapons and armour\u2026 that can be something really disappointing for some player\u2026<\/span>\r\n\r\n- When you are selling items to a merchant you can select several items to sell all at once\u2026 what you can do (but even though is very confusing to learn how to use) is use the bulk selling which as far as I understood is an automatic selling of some items, a tip that I give you is to not sell the books\u2026 they can be useful for a future quest\u2026 so careful with what you are selling.<\/span>\r\n\r\n- [BUG] On the character build the voices can have a bug, and just stop showing how they sound like.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 6.5 \/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Definitive Edition Review","post_excerpt":"Explore and conquer","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"pathfinder-kingmaker-definitive-edition-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:19:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:19:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205260","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":20},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_22"};

It has a top-down view in a 16-bit world that is reminiscent of such classics as tech-noir \/ cyberpunk games. The dystopian and darkness of a cyberpunk world with an intriguing story awaits you.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game-play is an action-based stealth game primarily, but you can take the all-out rampage mode if you prefer. These two play-styles suit me as I do get bored with playing a full stealth game. I like the options. You can navigate the levels without killing an enemy or using your weapon, melee attack or special powers. Each character has abilities that they can upgrade after each level, the attributes can be levelled up to suit your play-style. The upgrading mechanism is simple and straightforward focused on the game-play and story. The controls are simple and are pretty much pick and play. Handy tutorials walk you through all you need to know. The level design is superb, they are well thought out and allow you to play as you see fit. <\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"disjunction1\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/disjunction1.jpeg\")
\r\nThe pixel art look and feel are superb. The designers have used the pixel art to great effect within each level and the backgrounds. Dark cyberpunk colours are present throughout. Character animations are detailed and fit the cyberpunk theme well. The soundtrack and sound effects add to the whole cyberpunk and dystopian feel. <\/span>\r\n\r\nYour actions in the game will have repercussions for the story and the outcome. The storyline and your involvement provide a sense of immersion in the game. The story is dark, mysterious and fills the world with a sense of doom. It has a rich set of characters and enough details are provided but some ambiguity. <\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"disjunction2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/disjunction2.jpeg\")
\r\nDisjunction is a fun and enjoyable stealth RPG-action game. The cyberpunk theme and story fit together. The narrative of the story ties all of the actions and the levels you play through. The game-play is simple but addictive. I like the ability to play the game as you want to power up your character as you see fit. <\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Disjunction Review","post_excerpt":"Stealth-based RPG","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"disjunction-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:58:06","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:58:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205944","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205866,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-01-13 15:24:55","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-13 15:24:55","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Ubisoft Quebec<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC, PS4, PS5 (Reviewed), Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action, Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Ubisoft<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nImmortals: Fenyx Rising is the massive open-world RPG action game that is addictive. 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![\"immortlasfenyxrising1\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/immortlasfenyxrising1.jpeg\")
\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![\"immortalsfenyxrising2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/immortalsfenyxrising2.jpeg\")
\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![\"immortlasfenyxrising3\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/immortlasfenyxrising3.jpeg\")
\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":205773,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-12-14 14:59:03","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-14 14:59:03","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Crema<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 5 (Reviewed), PC (Steam)<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Adventure, Indie, Massively Multiplayer, RPG, Early Access<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Humble Games<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTemtem is the massively multiplayer creature collection game. This version of the game is an early access copy and it's available on Steam as well the Playstation 5. Temtem is a\u00a0 Pok\u00e9mon clone with some additions.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"temtem_1\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/temtem_1-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nFirst impressions: I had an issue when I installed the game and a game-breaking bug where the screen was blurred stopped me playing the game the first night I had it. It was fixed in the morning. As I'm playing it on PS5, load times are quick, seems to keep a solid 60 fps frame rate and play well. It's bright, colourful and is action-packed from the get-go. It plays super smooth. As for the gameplay, you play as a creature\/monster tamer who navigates a host of islands fighting creatures and capturing them too. It plays along the lines of any turn-based strategy games, your creatures have levels and the level up as you gain more experience. It's similar to the last Pokemon game I played but that's a while ago. It's a Pok\u00e9mon clone that's also an MMO. The game can also be played in a solo mode but there is an emphasis to team up and play with other Temtem tamers too. There are co-op adventures too and I think this will be needed for certain parts of the game. I found some of the mechanics a bit odd where you can't refuse a fight against other tamers in the game, for me, this broke the flow of the game as I was getting used to it. There is tons of customisation of your characters and your residence too. The game has crossplay too which is awesome.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"temtem_2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/temtem_2-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nA few annoyances for me were around the sound effects used to character voices as you engage with them, it's this high pitched \"hmmmm\" noise and I found it grating fairly quickly. This made me want to mute the sound effects and music, it's just a bit too much for me.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"temtem_3\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/temtem_3-1024x576.jpe\")
<\/a>\r\n\r\nIf you need a Pok\u00e9mon fix on your PC or PS5, this fills the gap quite well. If you liked turn-based strategic battling too this will also be up your street. The game is still in early access so you may encounter issues and bugs, the game-breaking bug I had was resolved quickly. There is huge scope for this game to be a game you play for ages as this is an MMO. All the co-op games and playing online players were smooth and solid. From an early access point of view, this is a very promising game and I would be keen to see what changes are made when it becomes a full release. If you have the itch of playing a monster tamer MMO, this will hit a lot of boxes.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Temtem Review","post_excerpt":"Creature collection game","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"temtem-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:08:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:08:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205773","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205716,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-11-30 19:29:30","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-30 19:29:30","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Ubisoft Montreal<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC, PS4, PS5 (Reviewed), Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action, Adventure, RPG<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Ubisoft<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAssassin's Creed latest outing is set in the world of the Vikings as they migrate from Norway. Assassin's Creed has a long legacy of delivering open-world action RPGs and Valhalla continues this well-trodden path.<\/span>\r\n\r\nYou take the reins of Eivor, the central character in this game and his journey of being a Viking in Norway in the 9th century. From the start, you get a background to Eivor's upbringing, his values and ideals. All these things will shape how you play the game and the choices you make. The game is a mix of wonderful huge open environments with towns, villages and cities dotted around the map. A mix of puzzles, combat and exploring the countryside and waterways too. Longships and boats are used as transport between islands. The game uses this to enhance your movement from place to place as well as horseback too. As with any Assassin's Creed games, there is an element of stealth too which is obligatory in certain parts of the story. However, for large periods of the game, it's up to you how you approach the world. The storyline incorporates the nomadic nature of the Vikings, their customs and beliefs.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"ACV_1\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ACV_1-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nThe game is stunning, the environments, characters and all visual effects have the hallmark of an Assassin's game. In this action RPG, you roam the world completing the main quests and side quests to level up Eivor for bigger battles and wars that will come. I found plenty of variety in the gameplay, characters and stories. I liked that animus didn't feature as prevalent as previous outings. There was one time the game was interrupted to the modern-day, it did break the illusion of being in 9th century Norway. While I get the idea of the animus and the sci-fi elements of it plus to bring a cohesive narrative amongst the many stories, I preferred being in Eivor's world without the animus distractions. This is a minor gripe.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"ACV_2\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ACV_2-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nAction, fighting and combat elements are intuitive and impactful, the addition of special abilities means you can custom your fight style too. The game has a rich levelling up system that allows you to build your character as you see fit. Voice acting, cutscenes and dramatic interludes enhance Valhalla, I think the developers have managed to keep all the elements of the gameplay and story well balanced and addictive.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Xbox Series X|S \/ PS5 supports a performance mode which adapts the resolution to keep the game running at 60FPS. Similarly, for these consoles, there is a quality mode that maintains the best resolution while maintaining 30FPS. The game features ray-tracing and dynamic 4K. More games should adopt this, it makes the gamine experience more predictable.<\/span>\r\n\r\n![\"ACV_3\"](\"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ACV_3-1024x576.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nAssassin's Creed Valhalla is fantastic: the game has managed to mix RPG gaming elements, action gameplay, huge environments, stunning visuals, levelling up system, storytelling elements and puzzles into a cohesive game where it all fits together. Side missions and main missions all make sense. There is a wonderful cadence to the game, you become immersed in the world of the Vikings. I found it super-addictive and found myself coming back to either finish side quests or the main missions. I have to say it's one of my favourite games of the year. Addictive gameplay, stunning voice acting, graphics and amazing action in an open world.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla Review","post_excerpt":"Assassin's Creed latest outing","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"assassins-creed-valhalla-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:08:38","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:08:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205716","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":"Developer:<\/span> <\/strong>Bluepoint Games, SIE Worldwide Studios <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n
