Bellwright PS5 Version

Hey everyone hows it going i was recently sent out the PS5 version of Bellwright to check out so lets talk about it but first huge thank you to Snail Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

Yes ive checked out bellwright before I was sent the PC version when there maiden voyage dlc dropped and I had fun with it for the most part so when the game dropped for PS5 i wanted to check it out sadly it didnt have the multiplayer active which is what I wanted to do which was play with my buddy and see how the game felt but enough of that this review will mainly focus on how it felt for console if you wanna read my bellwright review ill link the pc coverage below.

Now ive never played survivor games on consoles ive always felt for some games pc is just better but I wanted to see how well they adapted to using a controller and the console limits my biggest issue graphically is the motion blur when turning or running the game blurs together to the point its very annoying and hurts your eyes a lot and sadly there’s no way to turn off the motion blur in the settings for the console port big fail now it could just be the games to demanding but still I hope they fix it in the future.

Next the controls itself left stick is to move and instead of making sprint L3 they bind it to circle why every controller player and anyone that uses a controller knows L3 is sprint in most games

The building and a few menu options were stuffed under either L1 or square i think it was sorry so many controls over lap its hard to remember them all.

I biggest gripe is they didnt even use the touch pad for a mouse cursor they used it for the pause button when its clicked.

I feel this game needed a lot more time on controller mapping some of it feels ok and other aspects just dont work and the game itself nothing has changed you still start in the ruins you find the first village and work on gaining people’s trust I honestly feel the console port could have had more work done to it to help it feel more natural the combat is the biggest disaster you need to use the right stick to look around and try to get your swing into different spots its a massive headache honestly.

All in all the game still needs work and I hope future updates will improve it cause I do wanna see the game be a hit even if my review doesn’t sound like it below ive linked my original pc review again thank you to Snail Games for the game take care and game on

Bounty Brawl Most Wanted

Hey guys hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Bounty Brawl but first huge thank you to the devs at Infini Fun and Nanuq for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Bounty Brawl is a fast paced action rougelite that can be played between 1 to 4 players where you hunt down bosses and claim bounties which is honestly a good premise.

You get to choose between 8 bosses on 4 different areas you gotta make your way through the cannon fodder first before you can tackle the boss so far from what ive played the game could use more balancing primarily the mobs I feel have to much health right off the bat compared to the damage you do.

Theres some levels where you get attacked by stationary weapons and you cant even destroy them which i think is total bullshit considering your already dodging the attacks from other enemies.
Now this is a multiplayer game it has co op but sadly i wasnt able to find any active lobbies so I dont know if other people have bought the game or there’s issues finding lobbies.

The game has a good base and with some work can be very fun ive always wanted a game where you hunt down fugitives and claim there bounties and this could be it with some work ill definitely be coming back down the road after more updates and checking it out if your planning on grabbing it maybe buy a copy for a friend as well so you can have someone with you cause solo play sucked and definitely got my ass kicked plenty of times.

All in all thanks to the devs for letting me check out there game i cant wait to see what’s next for Bounty Brawl have a good one take care and game on.

Dark Light Survivors

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanted to talk to you about dark light survivors but first huge thank you to the team over at Mirari&Co for sending me a copy of the game to try out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Dark Light Survivors is a great game from what ive played so far its a rougelite with its own twist the game offers a good amount of upgrades to make your fight better but the best part is what makes this game unique you see more rougelites are all played top down view you go around blast monsters gain xp and level up with dark light you get both top down and 3rd person meaning you can switch between both views on the fly while your surviving now usually these games i always play them top down its how I enjoy the games but sadly with dark light survivors I noticed a lot of short comings with the top down so it was better for me to play in 3rd person. You see in other games you could shoot at a decent distance even before any upgrades with this one your shots would disappear at the 3 to 4 feet mark and thats before making any type of contact but in 3rd person mode it actually feels like your making better contact with them.

Another thing i saw was the map markers showing you where statues and chest are in top down view you get no indicators or anything but when you switch to 3rd person view you get a distance meter as well as actually being able to see them.

I know it sounds like im wailing on the game but im just showing some inconsistency it feels like the top down view was an after thought for the game instead of a fleshed out product.

Now like other rougelites when you level up your greeted by a deity from the dying world that grants you power this is also random but each deity gives you 3 choices for 1 element my favorite is always ice i like freezing monsters to give me some breathing room the electric powers were good but we’re heavy focused on melee and the fire was focused all around i feel there could be some work here as well to make it more in line with being even between ranged and melee attacks.

Now after each run in this dying world you return to your sanctuary to spend the coins you earn theres a store that unlocks relics for you to use and a store that also has new weapons and characters you can unlock as well after clearing there objectives to unlock.

So far there’s only 3 levels you can play through not sure when more will be added but the game has great potential and I enjoyed myself these types of games are great time killers as you never know how long a run will last but dark light survivors is out now on steam check them out and thank your for stopping by take care and game on

Wrecking Wave

Hello everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about a little action side scroller ive been checking out called wrecking wave but first huge thank you to the devs BrunuuDev for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated let’s dive in.

So this game releases on June 1st its a side scroller game where you control a dinosaur and destroy everything in your path but let’s be real your godzillas great great great great grand kid or something like that cause in the intro video there’s a scientist thats dumping chemicals into the water and you want to stop him.

The game is very destruction heavy everything in your path collapses and earns you points but it also slows you down which is a bit of a bummer since your being attacked by the military as well. You also get to throw stuff at the enemies to help reduce the damage you take but in this game its all about dodging and focus.

For a side scroller the game is fun you get a special attack that summons a massive wave that destroys everything in your path earning you chunks of points, now thankfully the points do something theres a talent tree that let’s you unlock upgrades for your dino so you can survive which trust me its a bit hard I got my ass kicked plenty of times theres also a hat section where you can buy cool hats with the points you earn.

Wrecking Wave is pure chaotic fun from start to finish each level closing out with a boss battle each being unique the physics destruction is the chefs kiss to this game as watching everything crumble is fun.

Only issues I found is the game is much easier to play on a controller then a keyboard also wish you could find healing items on the levels as there’s times where you get out numbered and its hard to dodge enemies. But other then that I definitely recommend checking out this sweet little time killer thanks for stopping by take care and game on

83

Hello everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about 83 its a military sim trying to break into the space but first huge thank you to Blue Dot Games for sending me a code to check out the game its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So 83 takes place in a world where the cold war went hot its format is 40 vs 40 which is great means there should be a good amount of chaos right well sadly im wrong there’s chaos its just all confusing.

The good about this game is the huge fields holding 80 plus players is awesome it makes the game worth while as there’s supposed to be constant action there’s 2 game modes to choose from Frontline and assault there’s also a tutorial that teaches you how to play, there’s also a server browser which is huge it let’s you find populated games fast so your not waiting around, the squads also have there own set roles so not one position is over filled all great aspects of the game and very well done more games should invest in server browsers it would make games so much faster.

But for every good there’s bad as well the graphics seemed a bit muddy the biggest issue I was having is not seeing any enemies even when they were shooting at me worse is the team indicators most of the time didnt show up so you didnt know if you just killed a friendly or not I understand the game is trying to be realistic but you can add indicators it makes it a bit easier to deal with. Another big let down there’s no way to party up with your friends I tried to play with my friend and nothing we had to find a server and both jump in then squad up I feel this is a huge let down as it makes it more time consuming for players trying to play together.

I did talk with other players in world chat and many gave the game positive feedback many felt the game needed to cook longer I for one agree the game needed more time to cook the game has great bones now its up to the devs to build on that foundation I look forward to seeing improvements to the game.

If you wanna pick it up the games on steam right now for 29.99 give it a shot and let me know what you think yourself thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Robot Space Frenzy

Hey guys hows it going today we are talking about Robot Space Frenzy but first huge thanks to Retro Trash Games for reaching out and sending me the key its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So this game is a tribute to old school shooters like Doom so if you played doom style games you will fit right at home here. You the player are stuck on a space station where all the robots have turned into homicidal maniacs, as the last human left can you survive and turn them off.

The graphics for this are right out of an old school console but they look great the colors keep everything grounded so no harshness while you play which when your looking at a screen taking care of your eyes becomes a priority.

The game offers a variety of weapons and levels for you to progress through until you reach the end… or is it the end. Some weapons work way better then others my favorite was the shotgun cause honestly it could one shot certain bots. The levels definitely take some getting used to i had to back track so much cause everything looks the same and honestly with no way of marking anything its easy to get lost thankfully the bodies stay behind so you know what way you came from.

This game is an indie tribute to the doom shooters of yester year and is fun and simple easy to learn hard to master and for 4.99 you do not lose out on a big price tag its worth it give it a shot and enjoy thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Outriders Worldslayer DLC

I dont play many games often that pull me in and wont let go but outriders was one of them I loved the game and its story so much I had to finish it and bought the dlc to continue this amazing story.

In worldslayer the world is falling apart ice storms are destroying everything and it seems hopeless but zahidi had been talking to another dr that sadly was an insurgent who had discovered a way to stop the storms after saving zahidi from almost being killed you set put on a journey to the most forbidden area in the game the black Gulch why is it so forbidden eh who knows its just a bunch of crazy people killing for fun left and right and a commander who has some insane powers who’s also a bit crazy with a god complex.

As you progress the story you find more of the Pax frozen I was sad considering all the pax we came across were dead or transformed into ferals finally you find what the Dr had discovered a forcefield in the middle of nowhere holding off the anomaly storm where once your inside you discover the last living surviving pax a shamen who had been in talks with the Dr who also knows a way who shows our commander the truth.

Then there’s the trials a sorta mini raid where you go from room to room fighting and discovering what happened to father along the way and what drove his madness with some great boss fights lots of loot and plenty of enemies to kill the trials were honestly amazing and I enjoyed my time in them.

But after seeing the ending and how the dlc finishes I can whole heartedly say fuck you square Enix I hope you guys go under you spent years and money on saving final fantasy 14 and yet you couldn’t give this game the proper time it needed everyone knows looter shooters take time to grow look at borderlands and destiny you had a beautiful fucking gem on hand and pissed it away we were supposed to get a sequel and thats never gonna happen cause of the greedy fucking assholes over at square I hope one day people can fly will buy the rights to the ip and finish what they started real fans need the second game or even another dlc.

Sorry about that let my mood get the best of me all in all worldslayer was an amazing continuation to the story and had some great times in it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Grind Survivors

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about grind survivors but first huge thank you to Pushka Studios for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Grind Survivors is an action rougelite bullet hell game and does it live up to those tags the game starts you off on a forest level with difficulty 1 you start out the usual you kill enemies gain xp to level up and get more abilities each ability has a chance of evolving and becoming stronger which is a big benefit as your being surrounded, the game also offers alters where you get small stat boost that can make or break a run.

Ive made it to difficulty 3 on the forest I have yet to unlock a new map because honestly the game doesn’t tell you which is bogus cause for the characters and other difficulties it tells you how to unlock them not a fan of that to be honest.

I played on a ps5 and the game played beautifully no lag issues no stutters even when having hundreds of enemies on screen at once the game ran beautifully and you can tell the devs put in a lot of work.

Theres also a skill tree which let’s you increase certain stats with points you get from each run, as well as a forge to make your weapons stronger.

All in all the game does a great job keeping you entertained and making sure your able to survive as you progress i look forward to seeing what else the devs add to the game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Outriders

Not many games grab my attention anymore let alone keep it but for a while now I had been wanting to play outriders it gave me destiny vibes with the powers and space background so when I bought a new ps5 I made it my goal to get outriders and I did and damn what a fucking game.

Now for those who dont know outriders was made by the team at people can fly and published by square Enix releasing back in 2021 I didnt get to play during its prime and I wish I had.

The story follows you the player who’s an outrider having just landed on Enoch a new planet after we left our home of earth since it was dying and crumbling. Enoch when you land is beautiful its amazing the flora and animals its everything you would dream of it reminded me of the world in James Cameron’s Avatar just beautiful, but then the storm shows up and everything goes to hell you escape only to get thrown into cryo and then you wake up.
Now this is where shit gets real what feels like minutes to you maybe hours is actually 30 years and everything is hell the beautiful world you saw is no more now its just a waste land and everyone trying to survive at least what’s left of it.

Now the game starts you off meeting some people you knew saving others and throwing you right into the chaos and I for one was up for it im not a fan of slow starts in action games and as someone who had tons of hours in Destiny and played a good amount of borderlands I had some expectations for this game when it came to the loot and it didnt disappoint at all the gear and guns had mods that helped you out and made you stronger but wait im getting ahead of myself you see just after you wake up you pick your class which is where all your powers are born from and how the game really becomes fun I picked pyromancer a mid range fighter that also self heals which for my play style is perfect since I like to pretend im a tank and jump in the middle of hell.

Theres a few classes to choose from a tank a support and the midrange i might have to go back and try another class but I have a lot of cleaning up to do in my game. Now the game is multiplayer so you can play with others or go at it alone and the best part there’s tiers so you start at tier 0 if thats to easy it moves up in total there’s 15 tiers of difficulty but each rewards you even more if you play the higher tiers.

The story was amazing everytime I played I wanted to know more it got to the point where I stopped doing side quest and exploring because I needed to know what the hell was going on and by god the discoveries the plot twist everything was just insane by the time I reached the ending of the game my jaw was on the floor needing more, yes there is a dlc which I hope to be able to get sometime soon so I can continue with whatever story they added there. I never expected the story to be so amazing you can tell the dev team really had high hopes for this game and I curse square Enix for pulling the damn plug.

This game goes on sale often I ask all of you give it a chance play it its on pc Xbox and ps5 the game is amazing the story leaves you wanting more the ending top tier I highly recommend this game and to the devs I hope you can someday give us the second game that so many of us really want thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Over the Top WW1

Hey everyone hows it going? Hope your all good today we talk about a new indie multiplayer game thats kicking major butt called Over the Top WW1 but first I wanna thank the team over at Flying Squirrel Entertainment for sending me a key its greatly appreciated.

So what is over the top ww1 well its a massive multiplayer game with 200 player battles all taking place during ww1 and I gotta say this game is fun as hell right now every match ive played has been different and intense my worse match i died almost 30 times my best match I got just over 20 kills and as someone who’s played call of duty and battlefield this game stands on its own.

So there’s about 9 different classes to choose from but the main one is rifleman and I tell you man is it hard to spot some players one minute your running for a better position next thing you know boom your down and the killing shot came from so many meters away from a guy that could be in plain sight so you definitely gotta pay attention to your every move.

I think the part I like the most is you get to build trenches to move around in better cover but man does it take a bit its something thats better done with 3 or 4 players maybe more so you can move through everything faster. Watching the earth open up in real time while you dig is amazing and definitely well done.

The combat is solid you actually die in 1 shot unlike other games sometimes depending on where the shot hits you do go down and have a chance at being revived or its instant death but either way its fun. And the banter the chaos from your team mates just hearing everyone talking as you progress its all fun which is how gaming should be fun.

Right now this game is only out on steam I hope the devs are able to expand down the road I actually wanna see this multiplayer game succeed and get bigger yes I recommend it yes its fun and definitely worth your time thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
