The first impressions of NBA 2K21 is a visual feast that will behold you. I'm a rookie at NBAs game and in general, I was impressed by the game. Off the bat, I don't understand the full mechanics and rules of basketball so my view is how the game plays from a limited understanding of basketball.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
I haven't played an NBA 2K game in a long time, I'm new to the franchise. I found the realism and the mechanics of the game super smooth. I kept coming back for more. The visuals maintained a solid 60 fps at 4k with ray tracing support, the game moves slickly and has a good feel. It's a mixture of next-gen graphics, with the solid player likeness and little slow down when playing offline. Load times were super quick and once in-game, I didn't feel much of the annoyance of loading. It plays well once you understand the controls and how it plays, I had to do a few tutorials and practice games before I could actually play it. All the stars from the league are there. There is also a host of game modes such as MyCareer and MyTeam.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The MyCareer and MyTeam modes are heavy on the monetisation and microtransactions. I never liked the career modes in sports, the game, I feel the attempt to mix drama and sport through a narrative odd. I find it cringe. To be honest the story of the MyCareer mode is fairly cheesy but the path of progressing from high school basketball to college and the draft is a nice addition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The MyTeam mode allows you to build your team and build up as you see fit, I have played the similar game modes in Fifa and I just don't enjoy this, I much prefer playing with the current crop of teams. I'm not a massive fan of microtransactions so it's also not my thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
Online play, I found online gameplay a bit hit and miss, some games had little lag and others quite a bit. When there were no lag or internet issues, I did enjoy getting beat online quite a bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
NBA 2K21 is lots of fun but I haven't been up to date with the series for a while. I love sports and the dynamics of a sports game, for me it was nice to revisit basketball and play something enjoyable and different to football. The core gameplay of basketball is something I kept re-visiting, the online modes were a bonus. If you like building up your team or building up yourself a player then the MyGamer and MyTeam will have you hooked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
Overall:\u00a0<\/strong>7\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This game follows firmly in the footsteps of the predecessors, this latest version is about improvements and updates as opposed to an overhaul of the series. One interesting aspect of UFC is that you are thrown into the career mode straight away which may be a bit too much into the deep end for some.\r\n<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBefore you can settle in and get used to the game, you are fighting your first foe, the career mode is underpinned by you being and upcoming fighter spotted by coach Davis. The first few fights of the game can be considered a tutorial, you get used to the core concepts of the game standing game (boxing and Muay Thai), ground game (BJJ), and wrestling. In the lead up to every fight, you have a period of weeks (in-game time) to train, promote, and invite other fighters to your gym to learn new moves. As you train, you can level up whichever aspect of fighting you want to excel at, using moves while playing will increase their effectiveness too. The career mode follows the same steps to pick a fight, post to social media, train, and improve your fighter. You can customise the entire look of the character and build it in your mould. In career mode, it is fairly formulaic however you get to build the style of your fighter.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI always found the stand-up game superb in UFC, boxing and kickboxing have always been my go-to and it was the same this time too. The mechanisms in boxing, the movement, and gameplay whilst standing are slick. The actual feel of fighting is exciting and enjoyable, it does that factor that makes it feel immersive. This is complemented by the sound and the graphics. I enjoyed the clinch scenarios and Muay Thai too. I have an issue with the ground game, wrestling, BJJ, and transitioning. The controls are clunky and it's difficult to get feedback as to how to control your opponent and block their movements too. I think this part of the game needs more tweaking and was my least favourite. The mini-games for submission are novel and also give the player an advantage for being methodical will submitting.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUFC 4 probably suffers from a lack of competition in this space of fighting games. UFC4 is minor tweaks and improvements from UFC 3, it's not groundbreaking. Despite this and the clunky mechanisms for the ground game, UFC 4 is lots of fun, integrates a huge roster of players, several styles of fighting in a well-made game that has all the usual EA polish. If you need a UFC or a fighting fix, this is lots of fun and worth getting.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:\u00a0<\/strong>8\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"UFC 4 Review","post_excerpt":"Shape your legend","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ufc-4-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:18:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:18:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205272","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205235,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-08-26 14:07:28","post_date_gmt":"2020-08-26 13:07:28","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Mediatonic<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC (Reviewed), PlayStation 4,<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action, Casual, Indie, Massively Multiplayer, Sports<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Devolver Digital<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFall Guys is the ultimate party game that we needed in 2020. This is a last bean standing game in a battle royale mode. It's the virtual equivalent of Takeshi's Castle, Ninja Warrior, and Wipeout. The game is this wonderfully bright and fruit-filled levels of chaos where 60 beans start and get whittled down the winner bean through multiple puzzles (24 levels). It takes the approach of being focussed on the mechanics of a few puzzles and putting players against each other in a frenetic race to the finish.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game hits the sweet spot of being amazingly fun, a mix of chaos, frustrating, and having a huge sense of accomplishment and relief if you win. The game isn't perfect but everyone starts on the same level, a mixture of luck and good gameplay will get you through the challenges. The random events like a banana or an orange squishing you as you negotiate a travelator will happen, but you need to get up and persist. All the spills, the falls, and, squishing are hugely entertaining even if you are on the receiving end. This game hugely emphasises fun and playfulness but does have a competitive edge, these all combined are a superb treat. It nails the fun factor so well.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI have to say this such a breath of fresh air, a party game that is amazingly simple but super addictive and so fun. It requires very little to pick up and play. It's fun if even if you don't know what you are doing at the start. You will still enjoy the straight forward game mechanics in the multiple puzzles.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is an online gaming experience that could do with offline local party mode but this doesn't detract from how awesome and fun the game is. The game will leave you a little frustrated at the start as you constantly get bundled over as you try to qualify from your heat, but as you progress through the levels you have a huge pay-off which makes the game such fun.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Review","post_excerpt":"Party game ","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"fall-guys-ultimate-knockout-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:20:08","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:20:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205235","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_22"};
