Developer:<\/strong> Pixpil Games<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Platforms:<\/strong> PC, Switch (Reviewed), Xbox One, Xbox Series X |S<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Genre:<\/strong> RPG<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Publisher: <\/strong>Chucklefish<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Eastward is a pixel art 2D action RPG adventure. The game is based; around a world that is slowly decaying. You play as a digger, John, who assists a lost and mysterious girl named Sam. Through this world that is; slowly taking itself apart. A game similar to Eastward would be Little Witch In The Woods or Hyper Light Drifter. Eastward was developed by Pixpil Games and published by Chucklefish.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Eastward is a single-player game where you can go on; a wonderfully exciting adventure. The story revolves around the main character, you, playing as a digger named John, who works around a decaying world and now is accompanied by a girl named Sam. This post-apocalyptic setting sets out an adventure where you; get to come across charming characters, a thrilling story, and the power of using a frying pan to defeat enemies in your way. The opening scene of this game has an amazing; cinematic that sets the adventure you are about to go on.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"eastward1\"<\/p>\r\n

The controls to Eastward are very simple. Playing the game on the switch makes it accessible as if you are using a controller. Not many intricate controls are used within the game, which pretty much includes: controls like moving around, interacting with characters, and using your weapon. What is nice about the controls is that when you can interact with people or items, a little bubble with the control pad shows up to indicate you can interact with this item\/person. Overall the controls are easy to play.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

All the attention towards Eastward is brought upon by the art style that the game is based around. The game has a vibrant, quaint pixel-art landscape that holds such creativity. So much attention is put into the detail of the art style for this game which adds more to the atmosphere. I found myself going through everything in the area to; take a look at the close detail. I enjoy pixelated games very much, and the essence this game captures is so fun and endearing to explore. Small details throughout the game have little animations as well, like the running water or the shine of the metals. Little details bring the game to life. What is so interesting about the art style of this game is that it; is inspired by 90s Japanese animation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"eastward2\"<\/p>\r\n

The soundtrack of Eastward consists of wonderful-sounding instrumental music that plays from scene to scene from transition to transition. I love how, when entering certain areas, the music changes to fit with the; theme of the area. It starts with this mellow piano music which sounds familiar to Stardew Valley\u2019s opening to going to a jazz, funk kind of beat. The music in the game adds more life and compliments the visuals so well. Even the sound effects over the top of the music, like shutting the door and the footsteps makes, the game so much more enticing to play. I love the sound effect of the text bubble when interacting with characters, as it has that reminiscing typewriter sound to it which matches so well with the font of the dialogue. The soundtrack for this game is so immersive, and because of the amazing visuals, it compliments one another, making it so that the world of Eastward; is filled with adventure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

My opinion of this game is; extremely positive. I found this game to be so investing and to be; one that I can come to when wanting to wind down. With the visuals, the sound, and the story, it truly is an adventure; that is full of fun. The story itself is also so intriguing as you can unravel it while exploring the world of Eastward. I also really; enjoyed how you can play both John and Sam to be able to solve various puzzles. The selection of weapons that you have handy makes the fighting even more exciting. What I like about how you can switch between the characters is that either character can be helpful when exploring. For instance, Sam is shorter than John, so she can fit through logs that are too small for John.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"eastward3\"<\/p>\r\n

The boss fights in this game are so unique from one another; each boss plays differently and has a theme to itself. The boss battles are what allow you to get an understanding of what you need to upgrade. I enjoy the combat in this game as the progression of each boss battle allows for; the player to get better at using both Sam and John as well as fighting mini monsters on the way to upgrade your items. I find the frying pan; to be my favourite weapon choice, but John comes in handy with loads more. Playing with the weapons isn't difficult, and it is fun to be able to whack objects or set them on fire. You can upgrade your health and weapon damage by meeting this guy in the central town. As you progress through the story, you collect more currency which allows you to buy new weapons; that you can add to your collection.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I find the difficulty of the puzzles to also be well balanced, not making you shoot completely in the dark. I found Daniel and William to be interesting characters in the game, and the railway location reminded me of something from a Studio Ghibli movie. Another thing I love about the gameplay is how there is a little mix of everything in the game; you can cook food by putting ingredients together. The one scene where Sam and John drive a car in the water was something I did not expect. What is also so helpful about this game is the objectives menu, the map and other things that help you on your journey. I found this RPG to be so charming and took up so much of my time as it got me invested in wanting to uncover the story. Travel the world, and upgrade the character; to be able to progress further. I also love how you can play a game within this game. The attention to detail is just outstanding.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"eastward4\"<\/p>\r\n

If; you want to play a game where you get to explore a post-apocalyptic world through the travels of a digger and his sidekick. Then make your way and start; your adventure with this captivating, beautiful, outstanding work of art. This game captures a true essence of a pixelated-RPG game that is so fun to play and in some way relaxing even with all the monster fighting. So, if you want to indulge in this whimsical adventure, then go check out Eastward!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

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

The game is based; in a science fiction world with all sorts of wacky elements. This game is; not suitable for children as there is a lot of explicit language and disturbing images. A game similar to High on Life would be Trevor Saves the Universe. The game was created by Justin Roiland and developed and published by Squanch Games. Justin Roiland is also a well-known voice actor; co-creator of the Adult Swim show Rick and Morty. This review of this game is based on the PC version.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHigh on Life is a single-player game involving an experience like no other. The story revolves around the main character\u2019s planet being invaded by aliens. You receive a talking alien gun that warps you to a planet in space, where you start your journey to take down the G3 Cartel from turning your people into drugs. The talking alien gun assists you on your journey as the new bounty hunter of Blim. You take upon various G3 Cartel bosses and explore the vastness of space on your journey.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"highonlife1\"\r\n\r\nThe controls to High on Life are relatively easy to work with. The keyboard and mouse binds are extremely easy to work with. You use the mouse as a gun shooter, and the keyboard has other controls such as walking, interaction, and scanner. What is nice about the controls for this game is that on your SuitOS, the controls are present on the bottom left of the screen. The comedic element of the dialogue makes it much better as the operating bot of the SuitOS itself says that he can not tell you the control to use as he does not know which device you are playing the game on. Overall the controls of the game are easy to play with, and with the rush of shooting enemies, dodging and using all sorts of manoeuvres; the control map is great at its default.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe art style of High on Life is much reminiscent of the show Rick and Morty. Except the game is a lot more vibrant and more; graphic with all the different elements in the game. The art style is a mix of both; quirky and zany which fits with the alien theme of the game. It also has some resemblance to; a comic-like, cartoony feel which is outdone. It seems like an animated show in itself, where you are the main character of it. Everything about the areas has such great detail put into them. The buildings of the main space city you are placed in have billboards, trash, and various components that all look realistic in a cartoonish way. In addition to the characters, the styles of the characters are so odd, but they are odd with their own unique; character. For instance, the head of the G3 Cartel looks like a blob and has a slimy texture to it. It honestly reminds me of Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars. Also, the personalities that the art style brings out in the characters are fascinating. Take the different guns that you equip throughout your journey, each one of them with their silly little designs from goofy eyes; to a big smile, all bringing out their personality of them. With the art style comes great sound effects and voice acting done by the voice actors.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"highonlife2\"\r\n\r\nThe soundtrack of High on Life mainly consists of synth, electro beat music which has a futuristic feel to it. For instance, the music in the lobby is similar to synth-pop. Another interesting part of the soundtrack would be the battle music the battle; music is a great amped-up futuristic rhythm which indicates when there are enemies. It has such a satisfying pop sound to it. The sound effects for the different guns and each having its distinction adds; great variety to the game. With the music, the game comes with sound effects that are also so realistic. I love the pop eyeball sound when you use your knife on one of the one-eyeballed G3 aliens. The most outstanding part of this game, though, would have to be the voice acting. The voice acting of High on Life makes the game ten times much better, especially with the dialogues and script written for the characters. It\u2019s a pile of jokes on jokes where either other characters are being insulted or; you are being insulted for pausing the game. Not just that but some of the characters have voice actors that I am very familiar with and add such personality to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"highonlife3\"\r\n\r\nMy opinion towards this game is; extremely positive. This game captures a real science fiction shooter with great comedy to it. I found playing this game for hours on end once I had started it. There is so much fun that comes from it, as you have the opportunity to carry on with the story but also can explore the open world. The game has so many little things that I loved, which adds great character to it. What I like is that besides the main story, there are these little shorts and animations throughout the gameplay. Like Gene is in your house, he starts watching this dinosaur, movie, or a channel called \u201cHuman TV\u201d, and sometimes I find myself watching the TV with Gene rather than continuing with the story. I also enjoy the achievements you can get throughout the gameplay, some of the achievements; are too good not to get. This game is full of great fun and nothing but hilarious.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIf; you want to play a game where you go around shooting a bunch of aliens with no ordinary guns; but rather talking guns that definitely can not keep their mouths shut. Then make your way as the new renowned bounty hunter and explore what space has to offer you. This game comes with a great storyline, amazing and out-of-this-world dialogue and nothing better than a great game design; that has a little bit of everything! If you want to indulge in endless shooting; and fun, then go check out High on Life!<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","post_title":"High on Life Review","post_excerpt":"Humanity is being threatened","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"high-on-life-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:49:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:49:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=209027","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":209018,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2022-12-20 14:03:27","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-20 14:03:27","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Digital Kingdom<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox Series X (Reviewed) |S<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Thunderful Publishing<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSwordship is a futuristic arcade racer where you must dodge and use the enemies' weapons against them, turning a whole gaming genre on its head. This bright and lightning-quick game is a joy to watch and play too. It's big, bold, and brash.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"swordship_1\"\r\n\r\nThe first thing that strikes you even before you play the game is the wonderfully bright and big text emphasising every minor detail. The text and general look and feel have a lightning-quick pace to them which matches the game. Everything about the game has a high tempo to it. You control a ship that must pick up containers and deposit them to progress through dynamically generated levels. The premise, while simple, is difficult to achieve! You control this little yellow ship as it zips through various levels; you dodge, dive and use special powers to navigate through; this post-apocalyptic world. A host of enemies will try to stop you on your path, and in some cases, you can use their attacks for your good. Big explosions and obstacles litter the levels; you must use them to your advantage to make it to the next stage.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"swordship_2\"\r\n\r\nThe game is slick, quick-moving, thrilling and action-packed. It's fast-paced, and the choices you make can lead to more points or move lives, whichever you prefer. It's up to you whether you want more glory or a slight chance of progressing further.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"swordship_3\"\r\n\r\nThis futuristic thrilling, arcade dodge'em game is a beautifully crafted rouge-like game where each section gets increasingly more difficult. As the player, you have to use your wits and reflexes. The roguelike elements and the dynamically generated levels mean that each play-through will be unique and difficult. I enjoyed it; it is like a clever, fun, challenging game. The high octane and thrilling nature make for a fantastic gaming experience. The game is solid and has lots of fun while challenging.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Swordship Review","post_excerpt":"Futuristic arcade racer","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"swordship-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 14:49:42","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 13:49:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=209018","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":208946,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2022-12-09 02:23:42","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-09 02:23:42","post_content":"\n
