Stupid Never Dies PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about one of the most interesting games ive played all year called Stupid Never Dies but first a massive thank you to GPTRACK50 inc for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated let’s talk about it.

So Firstly I played this game on PS5 yes I know a console the horror, no but seriously I like playing single player games on my couch old school style and stupid never dies gives me that chance I have a PS5 slim and the game ran great no issues what so ever and it looks beautiful on my TV and honestly the biggest part it played i didnt need no 8K graphics i just wanted to play and enjoy the vibes.

So a bit of the story you play as Davy who just so happens to be a zombie you see when monsters first appeared there was chaos but then they lived together until the great evil KoM appeared and decimated humanity leaving barely 2 percent behind yes those are the numbers the game gives you, so the monsters all leave except they leave the zombies behind cause they dont even consider them monsters at all like damn thanks for the gut punch, so Davy spends his days walking around a mall where his life takes an interesting turn and where are crazy stupid story takes place but thats it for story details you gotta play the game no more spoils from me.

So the game is an Action RPG and no let me stop you it is NOT a souls like let me repeat that it is NOT a souls like ok let me carry on the game plays like an rpg in traditional story sense where you can upgrade and enhance your character but it feels more of a rougelite when your in combat and fighting your way through monster territory its the best way to describe it you see in some combat instances you get upgrade choices like a rougelite that helps you fight monsters and every upgrade is needed you also have a very peculiar fighting style which drives you forward and makes you evolve temporarily which is a bummer I wish the combat styles were a bit more permanent but I get it dont wanna make you over powered right away.

So the underworld is progressed in levels similar to rougelites that let you pick paths as you progress some stages have certain rewards that you may need others might have the same gear you already have its all random to an extent but the levels play on a timer you have a timer that counts down as you progress and sadly if you run out of time you lose everything you have gained before hand ive come close to losing time a few runs I dont know if its my luck or what I havent noticed a way to increase the remaining time and I bet there’s a way but im never lucky with these games I always get the short straw I know lucky me right.

In my time playing ive come across a few interesting characters and its honestly hard to tell who’s evil, who’s good and who’s just trying to survive as your progressing you start wondering is this really worth it but only the ending of the game can tell you if its worth it and im not spoiling anything else.
Stupid Never Dies is fun, has a great story and honestly is probably what a lot of gamers need a pallet cleanser and something to just chill and vibe out with and honestly its a breath of fresh air and the fact you play as a zombie makes it all the more interesting I will say this the game starts slow but it picks up I promise so the game is out now on Steam and Playstation 5 sorry Xbox no word about you guys yet but check it out and enjoy it have a great day and game on.

Fantasy Online 2

Hey everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about a pixel art mmorpg that ive been playing lately so lets talk about it.

So this game was brought to my attention by the creator himself Jeromy Stroh he messaged me a few months back but it ended up being a game i skipped at first since I wasnt working i didnt have a way to buy it then recently he messaged me again so I decided to talk with him the game has different versions and on andriod its free with some micro transactions so its how I started the game out.

Now im not much of a mobile gamer the only game on my phone is pokemon go but I went into this game with no expectations so I was pleasantly surprised when I started to enjoy the game controls on mobile aren’t great but aren’t a disaster either there easy to learn with some work.

The first i guess you can say quirk of the game that annoyed me off the bat was the dialog the game mixes present world dialog with a medieval fantasy setting at least thats how it comes across to me but after sometime even some of the conversations were making me smile and I wanted to play the game more in comes my best friend Savior who buys me the game on steam during the last sale they had which at 5 bucks I didnt mind him buying it for me so on pc I had to restart over cause I didnt know how to transfer my character and I didnt wanna bother the devs with questions when its supposed to be a blind review so now im on pc with this game and let me tell you man am i still having fun.

On mobile I only ever encountered 1 person on my adventures and they completely ignored me but on pc ive come across so many players and they actually talk to you and some will even buff you so you dont struggle or have to many issues on top of that the world is just fun so many missions and its just everyday people dealing with some insane creatures from killer beets to zombie crabs the diversity so far is insane and im not even anywhere near a major city right now my time is being spent completing every mission I find so I can level up and get stronger I just recently hit level 20 which gives me access to the market sales so I can start earning money with all the insane shit im finding.

On pc im having way more fun but I do wish I could have a bigger hot bar the game does offer an arrow to scroll between hotbars but I want all my skills on one bar the way wow streamers have it set up, I also joined a guild the person who recruited me was super friendly and honestly you dont see that anymore in games and for me being a game reviewer its hard to just have a game I can enjoy and even though this one is being reviewed ill keep playing it so I can progress.

The game also has a bunch of things you can interact with the map lets you scroll around in real time and see whats going on and there’s so many items you can find as you slay newer monsters I know im probably lacking since I keep all my stats close together.

The game does have cosmetics and battle passes you can buy with real money but so far I havent seen anything that would push a pay to win formula but if I do find one ill update this review when I do.

Between the exploration and combat even with some missions becoming very tedious and feeling like a chore for example I do a mission kill 20 of these guys only to have the next mission be kill 80 of the same guys that becomes a chore and honestly i didnt enjoy those missions at all and im finding more of them I hope the rest of the game isnt the same cause stuff like that gets old quick.

There seems to be a lot of fun gear that helps make you stronger but some of it is locked behind an ascension system which from what my guild mates told me is hitting level 100 and resetting yourself which seems like a waste all that hard work gone just so you have to start over other then the cool gear wheres the actual reward seems a bit like a punishment but I wont fully know till I reach that destination myself.

The game also has pets but I havent been able to find any myself or at least I dont know how so that is my new mission I want a companion to play with.

The new city I found seems to have a good amount of stuff to do and some special gear you can craft I wonder if each city is like this you know new gear to try and craft, there’s also a faction system ive come across 4 factions so far i dont know if thats it but they offer some benefits and sadly only 1 of them was cool and caught my attention.

All in all Fantasy Online 2 has been a fun journey so far and with active development adding new areas and events makes you wonder is the creator getting any sleep now the game is 10 dollars on steam free on andriod apart from the micro transactions on mobile for some stuff nothing game breaking i would like to see this game grow to a point the devs are happy so if you want a nice little time kill mmorpg check this game out thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Songs of Glimmerwick

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about a cozy rpg that honestly i cant do it justice but first a massive thank you to Eastshade Studios for sending me a key and giving me the opportunity to check out there game so lets jump into it.

Again I cant stress this enough my thoughts do not give this game justice the game in question is called Songs of Glimmerwick this game is a cozy rpg set in a world where sound is magical and used to cast spells ranging in everything you see the world once enjoyed sound until a grumpy diety silences the world over sleep many years later some wanted that power for themselves and things didnt go as planned and now the world is giving you a chance to enjoy sounds again through magic.

So this game when you play it gives me massive Harry potter vibes the school could definitely compete with hogwarts in terms of intricacies and how one room leads to many more then just outside the school is a small village that again feels inspired by hogsmead village now this is all my opinion please dont raise your pitch forks but its honestly the best comparison I can give the game, you play at a top down view over seeing everything the game progresses day by day giving you the feelings of actually being there you go to lessons you chat with fellow students learning about them and talking about the day to day adventures. One cool feature is when your doing story related stuff the time freezes as not to rush you and giving you a chance to make sure you check and do everything you want.

My favorite part of the game even though it kicked my butt each time is learning new spells since it turns into a musical game if you have played games like rock band then you know what I mean you use the main keys of the keyboard and input the keys as notes come down giving you a chance to play them perfectly but if you mess up dont worry you can keep trying over and over until you get the score you want or nail down each key thankfully this only happens when learning new spells.
All in all Songs of Glimmerwick is an adventure waiting to be explored and enjoyed and I for one highly recommend it the change of pace from feeling rushed to being able to enjoy the game really shows that the devs want this game to make an impact and be one you cant forget again thank you to the devs for giving me the chance to check the game out its greatly appreciated thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Train Sim World 7 PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Train Sim World 7 and my experience with it but first I would like to thank Dovetail Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So if you know me im a huge fan of sim games I have a decent collection of them and my all time favorites are games that let me drive Euro Truck sim 2 and American truck sim by SCS are 2 of my biggest sim games so im not scared to sink hours into them so train Sim World 7 is my first game ever in the train genre and honestly i wasnt sure what to expect you see train movies and they look so cool so I wasnt sure how that would translate and well honestly I was a bit let down.

To start the game first off the menu is confusing as hell there’s no clear distinction of this is free play or this could be story mode none of that it took me a bit of searching before finally finding the tutorial already off to a bad start simpler terminology could really help here and the menu doesnt do the game any justice.

So i launched the tutorial and I gotta say its one of the most well designed walk throughs ive had the pleasure of experiencing you see the train World is so vast that the tutorial is broken down into small chapters I think it consist of 16 might be a bit more I dont know after chapter 11 I got bored as shit and went looking for free play, but back to the tutorial it walks you through everything with precise detail and yes some of the controls could be done with simple button presses you can also move the camera to the object in question and long hold for more options for the game the tutorial also had visual indicators of hey press this to continue so it really made me wonder if they could spend hours designing such an intuitive tutorial why the fuck couldn’t they make the menu easier to understand yes I get it im not a train person so forgive me but many new players that wanna try these games cause there designed to be casual will easily get pissed at a complex menu and quit the game.
Free play was another area where to get things started was a drag as well cause once you manage to pick the route you wanna play you gotta learn about the train thats designated for that route and then after you get to finally play which I get it you want people to learn but people also just wanna jump right in sometimes. I did notice some issues after I got going on my route I only had control of stop and go and the horn I didnt have the ability to press anything else during my run so I dont know if thats by design or a bug but it was a bit annoying.

Now onto the gameplay driving a train honestly felt lack luster but then again I wasnt sure what to really expect for my first time the scenery was amazing I was driving through Florida and honestly it made me wish I was there.

Visually this game is a 10 outta 10 and im sure with more time ill enjoy the game but theres a few thing that just dont make it for me and one is the pricing of add ons and dlc some of these maps go for 40 dollars and im sorry thats just insane please explain to me why your charging so much for maybe 40 miles or track when other companies are giving entire states and countries for a fraction of your cost.

If you have a history of train games this is for you but if your more a casual looking for something fun pass this up the game gets expensive and fast thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Port of Jumanah PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Port of Jumanah but first a huge thank you to Red Dune Games for sending me a copy to check out so lets talk about it.

I was sent Port of Jumanah on the PS5 its a fun game simple and easy to learn very similar to cult of the lamb in certain aspects.

So you play as a young pearl diver by the name of Mansour who’s daily life is diving deep into the oceans finding pearls and moving on until one day a giant black clam rises out of the water and releases some black pearls into the world personally i feel this is a pirates reference you know curse of the black pearl but anyways yes the pearls were cursed and things start changing thus your adventure begins.

The game plays like cult of the lamb in terms that you go from room to room clearing out monsters and making your way through the maze until ypu find the exit room which saves your progression and continues the story for you.
The game offers 3 weapons and 3 gadgets to use during ypur adventures as well as cards with power ups and buffs to help you along the way the game is simple and easy to learn and is definitely a good distraction for players of all types again massive thank ypu to Red Dune Games and thank ypu all take care and game on

1666 Amsterdam

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about 1666 Amsterdam I know what a name but first a massive thank you to Panache Digital Games for sending me a key to explore and sink some time into 1666 so lets talk about it shall we.

I admit i wasnt sure what to expect from this game going in but I must say the devs have crafted a cinematic masterpiece cause in some ways it feels almost like a movie then an actual game everything from visuals to small details just leaves you stunned.

The game follows Noa a collector of magic and follows her journey through 1666 as she journeys to complete her job in order to save the world joined by her cat companion who has there own mystery for you to find out this game does amazing bringing to life the pass of what coulda been depending on your beliefs of course.

I did have some small issues with the game the combat was a bit of a hassle even when I dodged i got hit and you only spam the right trigger nothing else no combat spells that directly affect the target which was a bit of a let down another issue i had was controlling the cat i would sometimes get stuck on areas im allowed to jump to i feel the cat controls could use more polish it felt a bit all over the place.

This game is in early access and the devs themselves have stated early access will be used with help from the community to give better life to the game and i feel thats smart as a dev I feel you miss stuff but players might actually find things that need work and thats what gamers should remember everything good takes time.

Again thanks to the devs for sending me a key its greatly appreciated check out 1666 Amsterdam if you want an amazing story and beautiful visuals thank you all take care and game on

PixARK

Hello everyone hows it going today we talk about the new dlc for pixark called terracrypt but first I wanna say a huge thank you to SnailGames USA for sending me a copy of the game and dlc to check out so lets talk about it.

Now ive played a variety of survival games but ive never dabbled in anything related to Ark as ive always heard mixed reactions and didnt have anyone to teach me the ropes so when i got pixark I was hoping to finally get some experience in the ark universe even if it was pixal style.

Now the game starts with an option menu letting you pic where you start either the base game or the DLC that the game has available and this even though it lets you skip right to the dlc I didnt really like that option I prefer to go through the base game until I unlock the dlc but I get it they want people to experience everything right away.

So the dlc starts with a flying ship that suddenly gets blasted out of the sky but your escape pod magically lands you in a safe space and this is where the dlc starts you off you grab your stuff and start talking soon enough your off to the races to get underground as the cobaltstar are waiting to attack and destroy you after you make it underground well let’s just say wow this place is huge.

The underground area is massive exploration for me was tough as im not used to pixel games so I was getting stuck on every block trying to jump up and get to where I needed to go.

The introduction missions felt lacking honestly they didnt do enough explaining for my liking and dont take into account that some people have absolutely no history with the game me being a perfect example.

My biggest annoyance with the game was for some reason hitting the tab button would freeze the game then hitting it again opened up what seemed to be a master control input box so u had to hit it a 3rd time to get the game to work again i cant count how many times i would hit it by accident it really was a mood killer.

The dlc is supposed to add 13 new distinct biomes that require lots of thoughts to progress as well as 11 new bosses for you to fight against as well as new creatures underground to tame and use in your adventure.

The game has a lot to offer and the dlc feels like an absolutely new game with how big it is and everything it offers sadly the game just wasnt for me i couldn’t get into a groove with it and I just wasnt having fun even while learning the ropes.

All that aside the game ran great on my pc I didnt have issues no fps drops or crashes which im sure most people probably expect a disaster at launch and judging from the steam reviews thats what happened just give the devs some time to fix this i wanna thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Mortal Shell 2

Mortal Shell 2 is my first traditional souls game in a sense of swords and axes are used as well as some magic but before we talk more of my time with the game I wanna thank both Playstack and Charlotte for sending me a key to check out the game its hugely appreciated.

Now i dont have a lot of time in the game like other creators but what i do has is an approach from a souls noob and thats the perspective ill give you.

Now when I say souls noob I mean noob even though ive played elden ring, dark souls, hollow knight and remnant from the ashes i have yet to claim victory over any of those games now your probably wondering ok why did you jump into mortal shell well i am a sucker for a beautiful game and the concept of shells being your i guess you can say armor really caught my attention.

So the game starts with a back story of what happened so great diety fell to the planet and things were good until they weren’t Now your tasked with retrieving what appear to be some massive alien eggs thats the jist of what I got from the cut scene at the start then the game wakes you and its off to the races.

The whole starting area I wanna say it can be between 30 minutes to an hour depending on your skills and how much exploring you do is the tutorial area I admit i died a lot and i raged quit twice but again I suck at these games so once you pass the tutorial the game sets you on a path through some mountains with the camera doing different view points and i gotta say i love this part in the introduction this area leads you to the keep where you will spend most of the game leveling up and finding shit for and its also the starting point to the maps exploration, here you find a good amount of NPCs to talk to and trust me talk to them they have goodies and info you will need.

Once on the ground you begin and like every souls game stamina plays a massive factor in it and well there’s bosses everywhere there’s one literally right around the corner from the first beacon which if anyone played elden ring right when you come out the elevator you have that massive horse jerk its ptsd all over again man.

I played on PC and even though ive heard of other players having problems in my time spent with the game the only issues I had was the game freezing up on me during combat or entering combat and in a souls game thats a huge issue and not something you wanna have when there’s so much on the line.

The game offers a good variety between the 8 shells you get to play with and a vast amount of weapons you discover in the world there’s something for each play style out there.

Combat was one factor i kept messing up on always attacking and not dodging properly heck I even forgot what the block button was which all this combined with dying a lot lead me to grab the slayer seal and activate easy mode which sadly its not that easy you still need skills and I sadly am lacking.

The game is beautiful the world is worth exploring and its something I did everytime i killed enemies in areas I would look around and check things out.

My experience with mortal shell 2 was honestly interesting and a bit rage inducing I had fun and look forward to updates and future content if the team decides to add more to the game again thank you to Charlotte and Playstack you guys were awesome take care and have a great day and game on.

Swordcery

What do you get when you take swords you add more swords then even more swords and multiply that by a billion you get swordcery the ultimate sword rougelite adventure but first i wanna give a huge thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Swordcery is an action rougelite with a heavy focus on swords of all styles shorts swords great swords duel swords rapiers and so on this game is the borderlands of swords and the name fits when you start discovering just how many swords you get to find and use during your runs.

So whats this game about well a giant sword drops out of the sky impaling itself into a mountain and then the world itself cause a catastrophic event and then the game begins.

So the game uses procedural generation for its world’s so not every forest level you start with is the same and trust me ive started out with quite a few since you know you die a lot each level is broken down into rooms that you clear and then choose a path to proceed each room has a different reward some offer relics others coins my favorite are the sword rooms cause you dont know what awesome sword you will get or what rarity as well.

Each level ends when you beat the boss and so far the forest boss is a hard fucker indeed as his attacks hit hard compare to the damage you do think dark souls but top down style.

Now this is a pc game but thankfully it lets you play with a controller which I highly recommend you use one since its easier to play with one in my opinion as the mouse and keyboard felt a bit complicated for my taste.

The game is fun it reminds me of games like returnal in the sense where you get one life and gotta complete the game in one life this adds a big challenge but eventually you do unlock and discover other stuff that helps you along the way i made it almost to the 4th world before i died but the swords I got to use the enemies I faced and the levels I visited all were amazing and so well done these devs really made an amazing game and i cant wait to see what gets added to the game down the road.

Swordcery is available on steam for 17.99 its not a demanding game so plenty of people will get to play it, again thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated have a great day and game on.

Forsaken Realms Vahrins Call

What do you get when skyrim gets a budget and the souls games aren’t dark and gloomy? In my opinion you get Vahrins Call so lets talk about this action rpg that ive been checking out but fiest a massive thank you to Titan Roc for sensing me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Vahrins Call is a Fantasy Action RPG with great emphasis on the fantasy and decent on the action you start the game in character creation make your character and then you get dropped into the tutorial area when its an actual area not a small chunk but a decent area that has signs posted that you click into and give you more information about every button press and action and that for me is a great tutorial definitely wanna see more like this.

After the tutorial you enter the real game and start your journey the reason i compare to skyrim is cause its one of the few rpg I played where I explored a good chunk and always found something new to do and in vahrins call its the same idea there’s so much to explore and find that honestly you can get lost and spend hours the map also has an item marker on the right that tells you what items are in the area and how much as well so if your a perfectionist and wanna make sure you grabbed everything there you go the game keeps track for you.

Theres also a boat load of side missions and I do mean a boat load im sitting on over 12 missions and im mainly just exploring getting a feel for the game.

The story well im sorry I dont spoil stories I like people to discover it on there own but its easy to follow as your the hero and are trying to save the realm.

One of the funniest things ive come across is during combat the human enemies will talk while they fight and my favorite line when you hit them is “your not supposed to fight back” like excuse me the fuck im not ima burn you and slash you till you drop loot like the level 1 peasant you are lmao.

Combat is simple you gain experience with the weapons and items you use as well as the magic and traps everything gives you xp where you can invest skill points into and get buffs and upgrades.

Vahrins call is fun and theres so much to do and it has a decent size map with plenty to find and do and I for one definitely recommend it if your an rpg fan as well now i did mention souls games a bit as when you die or rest in the save points enemies respawn they dont stay dead so always be ready as if your playing with sound the music changes when your being attacked.

Again I wanna thank Titan Roc for sending me a copy its been a blast and thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
