It's an extreme sports game that is geared; towards massively multiplayer online play.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's hard to illustrate the entirety of this, huge game but it's an extreme sport adrenaline rush that takes you biking down steep mountains, skiing and snowboarding lush snow-capped mountains to using your wingsuit to fly through canyons and all the other terrains in this game. It's an extreme sports game from the comfort of your couch.The game introduction gives you a taste of each; different sport, and you are, thrown into the deep end. One minute you are biking down a canyon before grabbing a jetpack to reach a snowy peak where you snowboard down the piste. It's all a bit crazy but lots of fun.<\/span>\r\n\r\nGraphically and visually, the game is stunning, the terrain is detailed, and the action-packed game has you on a journey in these vast locations. It has that; Ubisoft polish - menu, map, character, and game type looks superb and detailed. The map is this huge; events are dotted all over the place. Events help you earn stars to unlock more game types and upgrades. At times I found the sheer number of things on the map overbearing. It was hard to discern what were events and online players. It's chaotic at times but, I assume that's what they are going for; I suppose chaotic and extreme sports go hand in hand.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEach game type (biking, snowing, skiing, wingsuit jetpack and wingsuit gliding) has its quirks and controls, which you will adapt to. I loved the wingsuit jetpack as it's something I haven't played in a sports game. It gives a wholly unique experience in this wonderfully crafted world. Primarily each game type is race-based where you aim to become the winner, which they have mixed things up by incorporating stunt-based competitions too. There is a star progression mode where you unlock more events as you complete more races\/event types. The game has a huge variety of gameplay plus it's incorporated with a massively online experience too.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nLike any modern sports game, there is a huge and wide variety of music that acts as a soundtrack to the gameplay. It's an impressive list of music that again illustrates how much thought has been put into giving the game the right vibe and feel.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game is slick from the first second you play it. The game has a clean user experience whilst maintaining a decent amount of information amongst the several game types. It's packed with lots of events and is lots of fun. If you need an adrenaline-based sports game with superb graphics; and a huge online element, this is right up your street.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOnline gameplay can handle more than 50 players; there are online leaderboards and cups. There are 6x6 team PvP matchups.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game runs at 4K 60 FPS on next-gen consoles and can support more than 50 players.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:\u00a0<\/strong>7.5\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Riders Republic Review","post_excerpt":"Open-world multiplayer sports game","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"riders-republic-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:41:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:41:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207168","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":207004,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-10-11 14:23:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-10-11 13:23:43","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Ubisoft Toronto<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong> PC, PS4, PS5(Reviewed), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> First-person shooter, Action-adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong> Ubisoft<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFar Cry 6 is an open-world adventure based in Yara, a beautiful tropical paradise, under the iron fist of current president Ant\u00f3n Castillo played by Giancarlo Esposito. You (Dani Rojas) are thrown into the deep end trying to escape the military and police forces of Yara. There is a revolution in the air; you and your guerrilla comrades are ready to fight off Ant\u00f3n Castillo and his evil forces.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFar Cry 6 just extends the current format and gameplay style of Far Cry games. If you are new to Far Cry, it's a huge open world that you play the majority of the time in the first person. You can craft upgrades by collecting resources and upgrading your arsenal as you progress through the game. It's very much a first-person shooter where you have a host of vehicles and horseback to navigate the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you have played previous versions, you can see this is an update to the last version with a new storyline and area (Yara) to explore. The game must be thought of as a mercenary style game where you slowly do tasks: take over checkpoints, sabotage the enemy, rob supplies etc... to gain influence over Yara and the inhabitants. It's a massive (I don't think this does it justice) open world that is stunning. You will take pictures and stop to admire the views during the game. It just looks superb, and every time I play, I notice new things. Yara is a tropical paradise that consists of a set of islands with volcanoes, mountains, jungles and beaches. Each aspect of the terrain and surroundings is captured in stunning detail with the addition of animals, the army and police to greet you at every corner.<\/span>\r\n\r\nUbisoft has done a fantastic job with presentation, menus and general navigation in the game. They understand Far Cry and the little tweaks like quick travel all over the map-reduce the grind of travelling this huge map. The game is polished and has the refinements you expect from a series that has been around for so long.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe world is chaotic, action-packed and just mayhem at times. The game runs at dynamic 4K at 60 FPS. The story deals with themes of oppression, nationalism, freedom and authoritarianism. There is a close link to Yara and South American countries and their struggles. This is ubiquitous in the game. The game has a focus on revolutions and days gone by. The main story does capture these themes as well as the struggle of the people. The voice acting and acting is fantastic; it helps drive the story along. The gameplay is more a mercenary style where you play as you see fit to accomplish missions. There is a dichotomy between gameplay and the story. The story tries to paint Ant\u00f3n as a conflicted leader in parts with his son by his side. However, the vast amount of people suffering under his tyranny doesn't tally with any sympathy for Ant\u00f3n.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game is fun, the explosions, the helicopters and just all-out action are fun. The game doesn't push the envelope in terms of new game-play or new game mechanics, it does Far Cry and first-person shooters fantastically well.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFar Cry 6 is extremely enjoyable; there is a lot to do in the world in between the main missions and plentiful side missions. If you have played Far Cry before, you may think this is more of the same. The world and narrative are done well, the ruthless dictator, good versus bad and lots of missions to expand the story. The game is chaotic fun. The crafting isn't overburdening for me which is great; I picked the majority of resources while doing missions and gaining control of the island. There is repetition in taking over key elements from the army but the sheer amount of missions help to break up the repetition of side missions. The game isn't groundbreaking; you have seen all of this done before but, it's great fun with an easy learning curve, you are in and doing missions within a few minutes of starting the game that should be applauded.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7.5\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Far Cry 6 Review","post_excerpt":"Open-world adventure","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"far-cry-6-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:43:21","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:43:21","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=207004","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206972,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-10-04 17:53:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-10-04 16:53:33","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0EA Vancouver<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms: <\/strong>\u00a0PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X(Reviewed)|S\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Sports<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:\u00a0<\/strong>EA Sports<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe end of the European transfer brings the anticipation of the next FIFA game, and before you know it, it's FIFA 22 time. The ubiquitous football (soccer) game is now available to play. Fifa 22 like, its predecessors is the next in the series that improves on previous seasons and includes updated teams. When players start to speak about their card ratings, we know that FIFA is going to be released shortly.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nNew goalkeeper AI means the goalkeepers have been; improved with better positioning and shot-stopping with better reflexes. Improved ball physics with respect to speed, swerve, drag and other realistic real-world simulations have been added. Even more, tactics to improve the simulation aspects of team play. Hypermotion available on next-generation consoles combines general improvements to team tactics, better player physics and improved ball control; i.e. getting FIFA to the next level of real-life simulation. This is all combined with the use of machine learning to enhance the overall gaming experience. FIFA 22 is the next generation of improvements to FIFA.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn reality, it's difficult to feel all these elements straight off in your first few games. There is sleeker ball control mechanic and player animations, there does seem to be better team AI, and the game does have a solid flow. Players and their likeness is captured with amazing: detail. In general, game mechanics are improved but, there are no massive overhauls but; the game does play better and is more responsive.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOnline games and matchmaking are superb; the net code means finding games is easy and, there are very few issues when games are being played. I spend the majority of my time playing Seasons or Volta online so I would notice this.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe licences are all there, the players, the leagues and the cups. FUT, Seasons, Volta (street football), Career Mode and Pro Clubs are just a few of the game modes you can play in. Volta has seen the introduction of a skill meter and signature moves too to enhance the experience even more. There are online modes and, Volta has an arcade mode to bolster its online mode. FIFA 22 has more than enough game modes, and they are in-depth that will have you coming back. I enjoy Volta as it breaks the 11 vs 11 standard football and offers an arcade-like football experience.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe gameplay, soundtrack and presentation are all superb, I have to say EA gets this aspect of the game spot on; there is enough to break the monotony of basic menus.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe next generation FIFA 22 does look stunning and will satisfy the majority of football fans. The game doesn't make a massive overhaul or game mechanics changes from the previous versions. Again it's an update with updated rosters. The improved AI and goalkeeping has been noticeable and welcomed. I have encountered few glitches or issues. The issue I did encounter was when my online Volta session became locked and I had to restart the game. As usual, the game has a super polish on all elements with bright, flashy screens and updated soundtracks. FIFA 22 is the best football game on the market and does have nice updates from the last version but, it isn't earth-shattering or new.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:\u00a0<\/strong>8\/10<\/span>","post_title":"FIFA 22 Review","post_excerpt":"That time of the year","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"fifa-22-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:44:11","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:44:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206972","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206668,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-08-04 15:31:12","post_date_gmt":"2021-08-04 14:31:12","post_content":"

Death's Door follows the trial and tribulations of a soul reaper, crow, as you progress through a series of puzzle-filled and action-packed levels. You play as a crow who has a job to get souls from creatures you encounter. Your job soon becomes a massive adventure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As the crow reaper, you have assigned missions where you must collect the souls. The game starts in a sombre mood in a world lacking colour apart from the bright red sword you carry. However, before you know it the levels are filled with colours and you roam a plush world. The game does a fantastic job to tread between sombreness and being upbeat too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

The game starts with minimal instructions. I enjoyed this as it allows the player to explore and get used to the game. However, before you can do that, you have your first boss battle which turns into a hack and slash. You use the trusty bright red sword to kill the swathes of enemies that you encounter. The game shifts from dungeons that are a mix of hack and slash to dungeons full of puzzles. The game manages to make both gameplay elements enjoyable and challenging. Each level, puzzle and enemy get progressively more difficult, the instructions and assistance are kept to a minimum so it's up to the player to figure out the nuances of the game. While this seems subtle, it makes the game much richer, and the gameplay experience is gripping. I found it difficult to stop playing the game once I started.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The bosses are amazing; there is a real sense of accomplishment when you beat them. The bosses are a strange combination of weird, funny, and just plain odd. They are wonderfully rendered and full of detail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

I have to say I love the interconnected nature of each level. This gives a real feel that you are in a singular world and this helps to tie story elements too. Puzzles and unreachable sections become open as you progress through the game. The game does challenge the player to figure out what is available to do throughout the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The story is left purposely vague, and you will gather small morsels of information as you progress through levels and bosses. This helps to build up suspense, intrigue and tension. Each level helps to uncover more detail and builds the story into something of interest. The story has a mix of twists and turns with a beautiful soundtrack that helps to hammer the underlying theme.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

The NPCs and your interactions act as the humour in the game and provide light-heartedness to the sombreness in the game, they also help drive the narration of the game too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As this game is an indie game, there aren't any voice-overs. This is the only thing I think is missing for me, but the gameplay and story make up for it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Death's Door combines a wonderful action-based game with a whole host of puzzles to solve. It has a brilliant mix of hack and slash, a beautifully crafted world that is intriguing and a joy to explore. Every aspect of the game has been designed impeccably, every small element including level design should be applauded. It's a wonderful game that excels in all elements: gameplay, story, music score and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the game from start to end, I just found the game design and gameplay refreshing and such a joy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The first set of DLC has come out for Valhalla, titled Wrath of the Druids. The expansion sees Eivor on his way to Ireland where you will pick up a new story arc and will see the amazing expanse that is Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

To play the DLC you will have to complete one of the two first story arcs in England and an option to sail to Ireland will come via a stranger who will arrive in your camp. The power level in Ireland is 55 but it will adjust to your character level. This means you don't have to progress that much in the main game to enjoy the DLC. If you have played through Valhalla you will be higher than 55.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Ireland is a huge new area you get to explore, the map is impressive. The terrain is a lot more rugged and mountainous than the original game. If you are from Ireland or have visited Ireland, you will familiar with the locations which is a nice touch. As a gamer from Ireland, it's novel to travel to in-game places you know and have visited. The game does a good job of having that Irish vibe with the voice acting and lore of Ireland portrayed well. Irish landscapes are well rendered and you get a sense of life in the Viking era of Ireland. A mixture of Latin, Irish and English is spoken too. Druids add a sense of mysticism and mystery to the proceedings too. The architecture is faithfully recreating buildings of that era. You will be able to equip new unique items such as clothing and weapons too. You will encounter new enemies, animals throughout the DLC. Ubisoft gets the mix of a new place to play through with solid gameplay, stunning visuals and intriguing story arcs to boot. It was a joy to play and see places I was familiar with. There are new abilities and new gameplay mechanics and buildings too. It's a really solid offering and it adds to the game.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

The standalone price for the season pass for Valhalla costs \u20ac39.99.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The season pass is included in the Gold and Ultimate editions of Valhalla.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The season pass will include access to Wrath of the Druids (released 13th May) and The Siege of Paris which will be released later in the year.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

While the standalone price for the season pass may seem high, the Wrath of Druids is sizeable about 13 hours of main quests and 5 hours of side quests. It depends on if you need another fix of Valhalla, and if you do I think you will get your money's worth, this only part 1 of the DLC. I liked the new arcs, the additional skills, new enemies and the general Irish feel about the DLC. I have been to a lot of these places so it was interesting seeing the \"Viking\" version in the game. The voice acting, mysticism, the darkness all have been executed well. It was a joy to play the DLC. I remembered how much I have enjoyed Vahalla after I revisited the game via the DLC. I'm looking forward to the next set of DLC.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When I saw the trailer of the game I was unsure what to make of it, but to my surprise, it's super fun straight away and laugh out loud funny. The game is a puzzle with a huge emphasis on humour. The game story is narrated by a father telling his son about the adventures of this small cloud. This story underpins the entire journey of the cloud and the situations the cloud gets into.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou take the role of a cloud that ends up in several scenarios that must ruin the day for the unfortunate people below. Scenarios include such events as wedding days, commute to work, defusing a bomb and going to the beach. It's hard to describe the game, it is a mixture of a puzzle game and slapstick comedy. The game is humorous and doesn't take itself too seriously. There are some superb homages to some classic games throughout the levels, these levels are executed superbly too. The sheer unpredictable nature of the game from level to level makes each level super fun and novel too. The developers and designers have managed to get the humour spot on and it is laugh out loud funny. The character's animations add to the slapstick comedy too. The game is ridiculously easy to play and so much fun, I have to say, I was addicted after the first 10 minutes. The jokes and gamin humour is superb, I love it doesn't take itself too seriously. Gameplay is just lots of fun with lots of novelty.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe art style is superb, I love the 3D cartoony vibe and well-imagined world. The characters and everyone is superbly animated, the mixture of environments and themes support the story and the humour of the game. Each level has a different theme and the level design emphasises the gameplay. The animations and the sound effects hit the nail on the head and emphasise the humour. Each level is beautifully crafted and each level is unique, they have managed to fuse the artwork, sound effects, music and gameplay into cohesive and superb gaming that's lots of fun. The combination of the gameplay, humour, art style, sound effects and music make this game a fantastic game.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFrom the trailers, I was unsure as to what I was going to play. I wasn't sure how this simple concept of cloud ruining people's day would work. Once I played the game I was instantly blown away, laughing and came back for more. It's super addictive, fun and easy to pick up and play. There are over 40 levels to play. The game developers and designers have made every element work in the game, the attention to detail, the jokes and the homages to other games are just fantastic. This is a pure joy to play.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong>\u00a09.5\/10\u00a0<\/span>","post_title":"Rain on Your Parade Review","post_excerpt":"Puzzle game","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"rain-on-your-parade-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:54:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:54:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206143","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":206091,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-03-29 15:59:39","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-29 14:59:39","post_content":"

Pumpkin Jack is a 3D platformer set in a spooky mystical world with a fantastic cartoony vibe. This is an epic adventure through a hellish world where you play as Jack, the mythical Pumpkin Lord going through multiple levels. Pumpkin Jack is reminiscent of many fantastic 3D platformers, you take control of this hellish Jack character as he battles for good to overcome evil. I know the plot is nothing new but the game has a few gems that make it sound out from most 3D platformers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

The designers and developers have created a fantastic spooky world, they have taken the spooky and evil theme and ran with it. The levels are well crafted with a varying degree of difficulty, each level introduces new mechanics that make each new area have a novelty. You will be greeted with a ton of puzzles too throughout each level. Your character can jump, melee and shot bad guys. There are unique sections in each game that break the monotony of just having a standard 3D platformer or problem-solving. The levels and characters are well rendered and the graphics are superb, they have fine-tuned the spooky cartoony feels. A fantastic musical score and theme underpin all the action, the voice acting is superb. The music adds so much to the game and it makes all the elements of the game come together. The boss encounters are fantastic and are probably my favourite parts of the game, the bosses are wonderfully rendered and quite challenging. They add another break from the standard 3D platformer format.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how addictive the game was, the control system is straightforward and easy to pick up and play. Once I spent a couple of hours getting used to game mechanics, I was hooked. The levels offer quite a varied gaming experience, action, puzzles and some aspects that felt like being on a rollercoaster! The game offers varied levels as well, each level has its unique game mechanic and new features. The level of story tension and build-up is done well, the storytelling aids the pace of the game and each level climaxes with a huge boss fight. Pumpkin Jack reminds me of many great 3D platformers but has its twists and humour. This is a fantastic platformer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
