Path of exile 2 the ARPG that literally melts your brain with how much you have to think.
Path of exile 2 is the much anticipated sequel to grinding gear games path of exile this game expands on the first by having a better well thought out story the game is in early access meaning there’s stuff missing for example there’s supposed to be 12 classes to choose from but in E.A you only get 6 and like with any game where it’s focused built shit gets broken and fast some classes have already gotten nerfs and I’m sure there’s many more to come as well as there’s only 3 acts available in easy then 3 on harder difficulty and then what’s open up of end game.
I’ll talk about what I’ve played but considering there’s so much to this game I will make another post down the line when I experience more of the game in all it’s brain melting glory.
So to start off you get to choose between a warrior a ranger a monk a witch a mercenary and sorcerer the story starts as soon as u pick a character class the other classes are hung at the gallows as you jump off a castle wall into the ocean you wash ashore on an island and start your journey immediately finding a weapon and skill gem from there you explore until you come across your first boss outside the town similar to the first game depending on class you might have an easier time maybe lol.
So once in town the game picks up you do missions finding stuff learning new skills getting new gear and so on, each act has its own sub story that ties into the main plot your hunting down this terrible demon that is corrupting and killing the land so yeah you go from would be prisoner about to die to hero of the land.
The skill gems have a variety your able to use from other classes I’m currently working on a monstrosity of a monk lol the skill tree is insanely huge with lots of paths and options to take.
The second act will give you a shot at acendency which makes your character even more focused and bad ass so please do your research cause once you pick an acendency your stuck with it and will have to make a new character in order to change your choice.
This game has a lot to offer and this is just a small portion of the ice burg as there’s so much more to experience and once I have I will write another post but for now this game is a must if your a fan of ARPG games.
Thank you all for stopping by stay safe and game on
First I wanna thank the team over at Whitethorn games for the code to such an amazing game.
Mythwrecked ambrosia island is a wonderful game about exploration mysteries and the friends you make along the way, your journey is experienced through Alex someone just trying to enjoy a vacation on an island as she travels towards her destination a freak storm turns the sky green and shipwrecks her boat on a mysterious island, as you explore you come across doors statues great buildings and plenty else across the game.
Your tasked with finding a place to stay the night which leads you to a lighthouse on the southern part of the island as you rest the game starts to open up you find a statue that magically speaks to you her name is ora and she helps you start your journey this game uses Greek mythology as it’s bases and it’s done beautifully to the point I couldn’t stop playing.
The first person you come across is Hermes the messenger god but he’s not feeling very godly you see something happened on the island and the gods have no idea who they are or what’s going on this is where the games exploration comes into play you see Hermes will have you do some quest to earn his trust thus opening more avenues for you to explore and travel and I do mean explore and travel you meet birds who are hungry crabs who are shy and many more in between, the games main focus is exploration but it’s done in a way that you don’t get bored since your seeing a beautiful scenery around you although later on in the game is does feel a bit grindy and tedious, the in game currency is ambrosia apples which grow all over the island and thankfully they respawn after a day of rest there’s benches all over the island that let’s you both save your game and pass time which I think is sweet since you don’t have to run back to your light house to save and rest. Dealing with Hermes is a small feat after a while he gives you a key which in turn basically opens up a huge chunk of the island for you to continue exploring and meeting other islanders.
The story to this game is done nicely it doesn’t overwhelme you at any point and you can discover stuff as you go each god has a history the game doesn’t follow the traditional god hood story but the story the devs have crafted is in my opinion much more interesting and worth finding out.
Here are some key features of the game
Gods Among Us: Many Gods call Ambrosia Island home, from Ares to Athena, Hermes to Hades. Tracking them all down is made easier with the Ambrosidex, though some may be harder to meet than others.
● Treasure in the Sandbox: Use the radar signal on the Ambrosidex to hunt for lost godly treasures hidden all over the island! Return them to their rightful owners to help rekindle their memories and learn more about the island’s fate.
● Conversational Wizard: Explore the island, examine new objects and locations, and talk to others to unlock new conversation topics. Maybe some Gods know something that will help Alex on her adventure, but some sensitive topics may be off-limits until you have earned their friendship.
● Even Gods Need a Friend: Experience a non-linear, emotional story about the importance of friendship, family, and community.
I played this game as non stop as i was able to the game offers about 10 hours of game play give or take depending on how much you play the game i was able to acquire every achievement on my first playthrough which I’m greatful for, I don’t see how the game could be expanded upon for dlc but that’s just my view point I hope I am wrong and there’s a dlc or maybe another game set in a different god hood.
Mythwrecked Ambrosia Island had me hooked from start to end helping the gods find themselves and solving the mystery of the island was worth every minute I spent playing this game i can’t wait to see what the future holds for this dev team I hope they have more in store for us I loved every minute played and this game is a 10/10 from me and a must play for those who enjoy exploration and mystery solving.
Thank you all for stopping by have a wonderful day and game on.
What happens when you save a cat but it cost your life in return? That’s what happened to our main protagonist Eizo and his isekai story is truly a good read.
Well I just finished reading vol.1 of my quiet life as a blacksmith in another world… I know what a mouth full name lol I have to say the book was amazing I didn’t wanna stop reading truly a great story.
So the book follows Eizo a 40 something yearold corporate drone living life as can be he’s walking home one day and see an injured cat in the road about to be hit by a truck mustering every ounce of strength he could he runs to save the cat and he does but sadly it cost his life and thus the start to his isekai journey begins. Now I admit I was worried another isekai hope it’s good and I wasn’t disappointed at all.
The cat turns out to be a special goddess type being that saves his soul after talking for a bit they agree on a new life for our friend and off he goes to start his new life as a blacksmith, he wakes to find himself in a forest feeling disoriented he walks around a bit until he finds his home gifted to him by our goddess with everything he needs so he starts his life he finds out he has a bit of magic abilities to help him out with his work and work he does as he works on his first of many creations a small kitchen knife except this knife is god tier cutting through his test subjects like nothing so he knows he has to dumb his skills down a bit.
His life is later made better by the company of samya a beastgirl he saved in the woods from death after she was attacked by a bear they end up living together traveling to the city to sell his wares which eventually take off making him truly feel right about his craft, further into the story he’s joined by another named rike who becomes his apprentice and our story continues.
In vol.1 it’s mostly him making swords and earning a living until the near end of the book where he gets his first commission for custom swords which he does amazing, I loved every bit of the story from start to finish i couldn’t stop reading it’s a very relaxed book nothing major happens and it’s worth a read for fans of Mangas and isekais alike give this a chance I bought it on the Google playstore for 8 bucks as it’s only available in digital bummer I love physical books but give this series a chance thank you all and game on
This anime was so worth staying up all night and binge watching it, the anime follows mokhoda who seemed to have mistakenly gotten transported to a new world while a kingdom was trying to summon some heros for war his absurd skill… online grocery store he basically has access to a digital walmart for all his needs.
So it’s a simple anime he decides to leave the kingdom cause he’s not needed at least they gave him some starting gold he hires a group of adventures to escort him to another city and that’s where the fun begins he cooks these amazing meals for his companions not knowing that each meal he cooks provides a buff to his fellow food enjoyed along the way a massive monster comes out and greets them wanting to taste his food so in order for him and his fellows not to become the next meal he waste all his ingredients trying to feed the beast which in turn tells him I’m traveling with you keep my stomach full…or else lol this anime is really a slice of life anime the main character isn’t powerful or anything for being summoned he’s just a normal guy trying to survive after reaching the new city his journey gets even more out landish not only for his food skills but his beastly companion who happens to be a legendary nation destroying monster.
I loved every minute of the 12 episodes I watched as they get funnier and crazier as he travels trying to make a simple living as a merchant/adventurer trying to balance work life and learning about the world he lives in this anime truly sits top class in the chill category it has everything from scared mc to insane monsters lots of cooking which made me hungry everytime he cooked definitely worth a watch my explanation does it no justice but if you love chill slice of life anime this one is a must for you not once did I get bored I wanted more after each episode and the anime delivered please give it a chance have a great day and game on
Hey guys today we talk about writers rush a little Indie game that does a great job of making you feel like a writer let’s dive in
So the game plays like a contest you against 3 npc controlled characters fighting for a chance to advance to the next round in hopes of reaching round 7 and taking the crown.
So the game gives you a bunch of choices from settings to depth to naming the character of your story and your book, each book takes time and work you gotta do research to see what categories align with what crowd, it breaks down a lot in the game there’s computer generated plot parts and you choose the best one that fits the current setting then after your all said n done you release the book to be judge by critics and earn you a score the better you score the more you sell giving you more money to unlock new categories and sub categories you also can by new type writers which give you different bonuses but the game is literally never ending when it comes to the options you have.
The game is simple easy to learn and does a great job in making you feel like your doing a virtual book I’ve only managed to make it to round 3 as the game gets harder per level but I don’t give up I keep trying and it’s a great game to relax and kill time with writers rush is on steam for 5.99 it’s an easy game to run on any computer or laptop since it’s not a demanding title and it’s definitely worth trying out and just enjoying while you drink some coffee or hot chocolate thank you guys for stopping by have a great day and game on
Shadow of mordor man what a game truly a great game from monolith and wb games and during the past 3 weeks I think I’ve put in 15 hours for a completion of 50% sorry but the game has way to much to find and do and honestly I was getting bored and wanted to finish the story.
So the story follows talion and celebrimbor in there journey for revenge and trying to piece there memories back. After being murdered by the black hand of sauron celebrimbor attaches his soul self to talion and they journey through mordor for answers.
The game has you doing a bit of everything from finding forgotten treasure to hunting caragors there’s even an appearance by gollum in it. The story itself is simple go here start quest go there kill orcs or destroy this gain new power here, it’s a great rpg with an ability tree as well as a power up system for your weapons you get 3 a sword a bow and a dagger all really cool with there own secrets but all that is nothing compared to what makes this game truly amazing and that’s the nemesis system.
The nemesis system monoliths and wb games baby a system that gives the npc characters a brain and almost will of there own you see the orcs in the game evolve and get stronger either by killing each other or killing you the player and it’s this system that provides hours of orc killing goodness and keeps your busy as you progress for no matter how good you are you will die by there hand and they will get a rank up thanks to this system I know shadow of war probably made greater use of this system but with shadow of mordor being the start it’s a great system and one I hope they rent out and let others have a chance with it.
I’m sorry I know this review isn’t the greatest I’ve been away from this blog for a while and I gotta get my briches going again and doing better, now about the game if you have never played shadow of mordor please give it a chance it’s a great game solid story but the nemesis system is where the game shines there’s lots to do in the game for those hard-core completionist I can’t wait to see how that system grew in the sequel but thank you all have a great day and game on
So I’ve been trying to play this dungeon crawler and it’s not a bad game for what it’s trying to be but it’s obvious it still needs work.
Your a prisoner in a slug kingdom and in order to win your freedom you must conquer the maze which doesn’t seem bad right pretty simple rules beat the maze find the boss kill it and your free right it’s what I thought until I started playing.
You start in a jail cell you get to explore the area a bit you see the slug king his guards and some other small areas but there’s no indicators telling you much of anything there’s a priest near a donation box that does… you guessed it nothing then just passed him is a statue room with 7 pedestals all empty but one when you approach it seems to be you the player your looking at a statue of yourself which seems pretty cool so onto the maze then.
The maze is randomly generated which I’m assuming is to try and produce more playtime and different runs which to me is a massive plus a different run each time is better then repeating the same stage over and over you get to explore new rooms long hallways different doors and portals all of which offer something the basic 3 monsters you find are a giant rat a flying bat and different skeletal solders not bad a bit of variety until you fight them and realize they take your 35 points of life down in 3 hits but you would think basic combat would be good I mean you start with a sword and staff but the biggest issue with the game you find the minute you start moving the camera sucks it’s trash compared to other games indy included it’s so clunky that to get any movement you gotta move the right thumb stick over completely there’s no light movements at all and that makes combat even worse there’s no lock on system just free movement which would be fine if you could increase movement speed but you can’t it makes everything so infuriating that you lose interest immediately, the game itself it’s premise the art style it’s all good but it feels they invested more time with looks then getting the movement down at its current stage you do yourself more harm trying to play then waiting for a fix I hope they can fix it I would love to go back and play more but sadly movement is something I won’t compromise on I do thank ratalaika games for sending me the key but please go back and spend sometime on making the movement smoother add some control sliders something
Hello everyone today i wanna talk about nintendos newest addition to the pokemon family pokemon scarlet version, i also wanna apologize for not being so active life has me in a rough spot but lets continue shall we.
Pokemon Scarlet brings with it the first ever truly open world experience of all the games many will say pokemon arceus is open world as well but its not since you have to choose between areas, but anyways this open world is truly beautiful has many regions and sites to see and personally i feel nintendo out did themselves and i cant wait for what they have instore for the future.
Now to fill up the massive open world nintendo did something new and made 3 story quest that you can interact with at your discretion as well as explore the massive world anyway you want but in part thats not true you see the game doesnt scale with you as you explore the game has pre set levels so watch out when your exploring you might end up in the wrong area and face some over powered pokemon.
The first story which is the same for all games is the champion arc where you go around battling gym after gym collecting badges in hopes of facing the elite 4 champion and taking the title for yourself and the best part of this just like in sword and shield your acknowledged as champion which in my opinion is awesome and makes your journey worthwhile.
The second arc is the titan quest which has you exploring the regions fighting giant pokemon wondering whats causing this insane change in them and i gotta say its awesome they feel like raid battles and give you a great challenge of endurance to see if you can take hits this story is closer to the main story of the game and is very worthwhile as its filled with just the right emotions.
The last arc is the operation star arc which has you finding these rebel bases of students who are rebeling against the school your job is to find out why and hopefully put a stop to it and get the students back in class this arc also has great emotional attachment to it and really shines on the issues of real world students.
The game has so much to offer and has such a great story that all i can say it great job game freak and nintendo you guys have really hit a home run.
Now the game has gotten much negativity for glitches and bugs but people forget every game has issues and this is nintendos first jump into doing this with pokemon so cut them some slack the game is great i had 1 issue and that was mainly because of where the game put me in a pokemon encounter which forced me into the map but other then that i was able to explore and play with no issues.
If your a pokemon fan and havent played the new games yet please do it there amazing and have much to offer and definitely show nintendo is evolving our world of pokemon for the better i loved every minute of it and can not wait to see whats next for the scarlet and violet games thank you all for your time and game on.
First off I would like to thank Stray Fawn studio for the code to review this awesome game lets get started.
The Wandering Village is a city-building simulation game on the back of a giant, wandering creature. Build your settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with the colossus. Will you survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world, contaminated by poisonous plants?This is the synopsis the steam page has for this game but it is so much more.
My first play through I did on easy mainly because I wanted to grasp as much of the game as I could and thankfully the tutorial also helps you learn the basics of the game to get you started but then the game stops holding your hand and releases you like a momma bird pushing you out the nest except this nest is a world ready to ruin you every step of the way. The survival aspect is very well done and if you’re not paying attention and staying ahead of the curve it can and will cost you.
As soon as the game starts you see your people traversing the land in hopes of finding a new home until they come across a majestic marvel of a creature called an Onbu, this wonderful creature is the last of his kind, a dinosaur that travels the land in search of… well honestly I dont know what our friend is searching for but he is one awesome take to add to the city building games. So your people climb aboard him and make him their new home as his flat back is the perfect place to start a village. Now I must say my people survived 105 days before disaster took them all.
The next thing you will notice is the map consist of different biomes from grassy plains to harsh deserts to toxic lands. Those are the only ones I saw in my game I’m sure there’s many more biomes that I didn’t find or are yet to be added but I can’t wait since the biomes make up a huge portion of the challenge to the game. The the deserts harsh sunlight dries up your water and makes it harder for any crops to grow, toxic lands add a poison effect that will hurt Onbu if he lays down on them grassy lands are prefered as they offer the most balance to the village so you can grow crops and gain water to help plant more things.
The village also has a vast variety of jobs to keep it functioning and you would think you could do with out one but the devs have made sure one job helps out another job and so forth. A great example is the decomtaminators. They are special workers whose only job is to cure the ground of any and all toxic plants and keep them from spreading but the workers will fall into a poison state from working which is where the herbalist and doctors come into play as you use the herbs to cure poison so making sure you have herbs is definitely a must. Then you have worker huts which you use to assign the workers to be general workers or to specifically be gatherers, builders, havesters, or carriers so paying attention to each job will help maximize the environment around them.
The map is another place where you will spend some time on as you unlock scavengers to send off to find knowledge or materials to help your people as well as paying attention to the path to see what is ahead to help you prepare as best as you can. The map is also where you will find wandering nomads to add more people to your village but they will also come with their own problems such as hunger or poisoning so be mindful of the people you save they may need more saving than just a new home.
The game has a lot of amazing things going on for it and it’s truly a breath of fresh air to the city building genre but I did find a few things that I felt could use improvment or be added into the game which I’ll discuss below.
The first is adding a trust indicator for the Onbu. You see you’re able to direct the Onbu or give him orders but in order for that to happen you must gain his trust but the game offers no visual indication of trust so that you can tell how well things are going. For me my Onbu didn’t start listening till day 101 which was a bummer as all the biomes around me were harsh so I didn’t have many options direction wise. Thankfully I got him to run through some of the poison clouds to not get too affected.
Another one I would like to see added is maybe an end goal, some sacred place where the Onbu can rest forever and we can live in peace. I didn’t find any clues or paths during my travels just aimless wandering which I’m sure the devs have an endgame goal in site but for now there’s nothing that points that way.
One that I would love to see is maybe different Onbus during the start of every new game, a random Onbu is shown and that’s your new home. I’m sure this could be a possibility but for now Ima say it’s just a wish I have to see added later on.
I would like a mini map in my opinion. It would help so you’re not in the huge map so much. I would also like to see a bigger map option that shows all the paths you have traveled to get a better idea of where you have been.
I would like to know what type of land expansion they plan on adding or if they are gonna ask players what they would like to see added cause I personally would like to see a water biome in the game, seeing the Onbu walking through water would be cool.
The game also uses a research tree that helps you unlock the buildings as well as new orders for the Onbu to hopefully listen to. I i hope they add a lot more buildings considering there’s so much to do and unlock. I can’t wait to see what they add next.
As for endgame I feel this set up offers a massive amount of possibilities so I’m hopeful that the end game will be talked about in the weeks to come.
All in all the wandering village is an amazing city building sim that adds new flavors to the recipe of a basic genre and I for one can’t wait to see what becomes of this game and I highly recommend everyone give it a shot, you just might fall in love like I did. Thank you again to Stray Fawn studios for the review code. Thank you all for stopping by, take care and game on.
Hello everyone hows it going been a long time today i watched the new dr strange and i gotta say it was better then i expected.
So this movie is a bit all over in my opinion it starts with dr.strange and a girl running from some invisible force of evil as there trying to find a book thats floating around in this insane but sweet looking dimension. Then things get a bit nuts the girl escapes we have a dead dr.strange like wtf is going on already, so it turns out the girl is a one of a kind multi-dimensional traveler who doesnt know how to use her power but we all know thats just half the fun lets bring out the bad guy now this threw me for a loop since i never watched the tv show and i feel like i need to now our villian is non other then the beautiful scarlet witch, boom mind blown i know i didnt expect that but shes on a warpath to be reunited with her children which seem to exist in every other dimension except hers i dont know kinda fucked up if you ask me, so the movie progresses but doesnt have much back story since im assuming you need to know from the wandavision show but this madness is awesome as you see dr.strange breaking all kinds of rules in order to help save miss america yes her name is america she also has been through some shit but the movie doesnt talk about it much.
So to me it felt like there were 3 plots they were trying to bring together and in some parts it was amazing others not so much i feel like i have more questions then answers but the movie is great honestly i loved it and it deserves a watch please dont pass it up i left out a lot cause i dont wanna spoil the movie but it gets a solid 5/5 from me give it a watch thank you all for stopping by have a happy 4th of july and game on
