Lawn Mowing Sim 2

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Lawn Mowing Sim 2 but first a huge thank you to Skyhook Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

So if you know me I love sim games and getting a chance to try out a fun looking sim is always a pleasure lawn mowing sim 2 starts out simple your uncle is retiring and sells you the business so you give it a name a logo and off to the races you go the first few missions of the game are the tutorial they show you how to purchase equipment how to use it what to use for each situation how to proceed and so forth each mission also breaks down about the equipment your using what to watch out for where to keep the power its all very detailed but not to the point where things become confusing no the game keeps it fun and thats a massive plus.

The game also gives you a home base where you change your look as well as where you repair your equipment and my favorite part where you get to test out future inventory that you may wanna purchase when the time comes. This home base is everything your computer will be for claiming rewards then on the map thats where you pick out your missions they start at easy and work there way up in difficulty and complexity so be ready for that.

Since your running a business you start out alone but with enough time and reputation you get to the point of being able to hire employees and once you do well thats a whole nother ball game cause you will need more equipment to make sure there useful as well.

The game offers a massive variety in lawn mowers the most expensive being 30k which just goes to show you the game has plans for bigger stuff im sure the leaf blowers and weed wackers were the only ones with any variety as each category only had 2 items I hope to see these options grow in the future.

I played on the PS5 and the game ran great i didnt have any issues and I loved just sitting on my couch in front of the TV enjoying the game it was definitely worth it.

All in all Lawn Mowing Sim 2 is fun from start to finish handles great and has huge potential in future expansions I cant wait to see whats next again a huge thank you to the devs for letting me check out the game thank you all 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.

Kernel Hearts PS5 Review

Hello everyone today i would like to talk to you about Kernel Hearts, but first a huge thank you to Whitethorn Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

What is Kernel Hearts its an action rougelite with super powered andriod magical girls now if you’ve followed me for a while you know I love rougelites so I went into this game expecting a challenge but holy shit did this game defeat me and just crush me into the ground.

So the world is ending a mysterious tower sits outside the last vestige of humanity and its your job to get in there and find your way to the top to claim victory but sadly this game has proven to much for me I sadly couldn’t even beat the first level, this game adds a danger meter similar to risk of rain but everything is just hard from the start there’s stones that give you health and orbs that act as currency to help you upgrade skills along the way then after you think your ready you find a mysterious figure that telephones you to the boss room where the boss is on a small platform surrounded by smaller versions of himself that do everything they can to kick your ass.

I have done over 10 runs and I cant for the life of me beat level 1 which is supposed to be the easiest of them all I can only imagine how hard the rest of the levels are.

The game offers co op but sadly its not in the traditional sense where you can join a random lobby and progress you have to make your own lobby and hope your friends have the game so you can invite them which sadly I dont have any that play this game.

Whitethorn games definitely have a great game on hand and I wouldnt change anything except maybe make multiplayer searchable instead of needing to give out codes to join that aside Kernel hearts has become the first game to really kick my ass I look forward to see what they add to it thank ypu 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

iRacing Arcade PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going today we talk about iRacing Arcade for the PS5 but first a huge thank you to iRacing for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated.

Before you ask yes I checked out this game a while ago on pc and there were kind enough to send me the ps5 version to check out so lets dive in.

On PS5 the game ran great it was smooth didnt have any issues and honestly its not really a demanding game the colors looked great and the chibi style of race cars always make me smile when I see them.

Now the game has a couple modes story, free race and multi-player now to get back into the feel of the game i went with story mode enjoying the races and kicking some npc butt at every turn I could as part of the story mode you also get to build your facility which offers some power ups for you to use during the races and thats pretty cool.
My biggest gripe with the game remains to be multiplayer so of course instead of making open lobbies you can join and leave you have to make your own lobbies or hope and pray you have a friend doing a lobby now here’s the thing what if your friends dont have this game and you wanna race against other racers guess what you screwed and this is where i feel they drop the ball with the game and that sucks cause its a fun decent game but basically a dead multiplayer unless you have a group of friends that has the game and lets be honest thats probably rare.

Did i enjoy my time with the game absolutely ita fun and a good time killer that could be amazing with some work nothing has really changed from the pc version and im happy about that thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Orc Incremental

Hello everyone hows it going today we are talking about one of the most fun auto battler ive played in a long time but first a massive shout out and thank you to Playsaurus for sending me out a key to check out the game lets dive in.

Now whats an auto battler in simple terms the computer controls your faction in battle you get to choose the formation and abilities but the computer does the rest ive played a few of these games but always got bored of them but this is the first one that ive had fun with the whole time i was playing it.

Now the games called Orc Incremental you control and orc army as you fight against the humans in hopes of taking over the world now the game only let’s you do a few things you can upgrade your units, unlock new stores, summon more units to add to your army or my absolute favorite throw fireballs at the humans and trust me they deserve it stingy humans trying to control everything love live our orc brethren.

The game works simple the round starts you kill and survive and earn money to use in the stores for upgrades or get more units or if you lose the round starts over again until you win and move on every 10 levels you encounter a boss which is ment to test how well your set up is doing so far and if your doing enough numbers for damage and trust me I hated the boss battles but I was thankful they were there as they showed me hey you need some work so then what do you do easy you can go back to any previous level you completed and earn more money for upgrades and i did this a few times i would go back to lvl 1 and run through everything just to gain more coins.

But what do you do when thats not enough? Well the game has a mechanic called Dark Rebirth which gives you points to use on permanent upgrades and then its off to war again. The rebirth grid is massive honestly if reminds me of the sphere grid on final fantasy X just massive so you know this game has a lot for you to fight with such a grid.
Here’s a little section right from the devs.

Main Features
• Build and scale an orc armyfrom a single grunt into a full warband
• Draft units and totemswith different rarities, roles, and synergies
• Set formations and optimize army compositionto break through progression walls
• Support battles with active spellssuch as Blizzard and Fireball
• Use Dark Rebirth to reset runs forpermanent progression bonuses
• Unlock new units, challenges, and chieftainchoices that change each run
• Benefit from offline progressand return to accumulated resources
• Face milestone bossesthat test build quality and tactical planning

This game has so much depth that honestly i wish I could control one of the fighters just to get more immersion but being the god of these orcs is enough I cant wait to see what the devs have in store for the game and what units you discover as you progress im exited this game is perfect to just sit back with some friends on discord and talk while your army goes on a warpath thank you for stopping by 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.

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.

Box Knight

What happens when your 9 to 5 finally sucks your soul out and leaves u a husk of your former self transforming you into a monster meant to slave away till the end of time well thats Box Knight and its insane fight against corporate corruption but first i wanna send a huge thank you to We Made A Thing Studios for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about Box Knight.

So your corporate job has fallen taken over and transformed by the evil corruption and its up to you the Box Knight to bring balance to work again so get ready to journey across different levels fighting an insane variety of monsters and some bosses that would make Sauron proud.

First off this game literally looks like lord of the rings was a inspiration for all the low level goblins and all there abilities and tactics they use but thats just my opinion but the game does have a big variety of monsters and I love that everytime you meet a new mob a screen pops up telling you about them what they do and how to combat them sorta like a pokedex but for monsters and i think thats cool as hell and love that feature of the game.

So as I said every monster has its own gimmick I guess one mob I encountered that I instantly hated was the supervisors they summon more monsters to fight for them and are a bit of a pain since they fly so you gotta jump and butt stomp in there area to knock em down so you can kill them another one was the healer goblin I hated him so much he heals the strongest monster in the area making fights harder for you.

The bosses are honestly some of the best fights ive had in an action rougelite each having different combat styles as well as different powers each boss definitely made me think twice during the fight.

The game also has armor and weapons that you can unlock with in game currency theres helmets and the body armor each having there own stats that you can mix and match as well theres also 3 weapons for now but im sure more will be added i would love an axe or duel wield I think it would be pretty bad ass to do.

Theres also an upgrade area which focuses on your stats which is also very helpful when battles are intense.

The battles themselves aren’t so bad but can get hard with certain monsters you gotta survive 3 waves and kill everyone while monsters keep spawning until your done there’s also other office workers you gotta save which can give you xp boost or health potions.

All in all Box Knight is a blast and taking on corporate corruption is a blast i cant wait to see what the team adds to the game but i for one will be enjoying my time with box knight and cant wait to see whats in store for the game thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Ground Zero Hero

So what do you get when you mix vampire survivors with Rick and Morty you get one hell of a chaotic combination and thats Ground Zero Hero thats what we are talking about today but first off i wanna say a huge thank you to Acclaim and Rowan Edmondson for sending me a copy of the game to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

As you know im a huge rougelite fan Vampire survivors started such a fun genre and everytime a new game comes out in it I try my best to get a copy and cover it so when Ground Zero Hero hit my radar I knew i wanted to try it out and see what spin on the formula they did.

So you start out with the first level everything else is unlocked the goal of each level is to kill 9,999 monsters and then you have to kill a boss for a total of 10k monsters is that a lot absolutely and I admit i got my ass handed to me plenty of times but each defeat makes you stronger as you unlock new powers and if you have the coins you can upgrade certain stats like health, crit and so forth so I failed about 5 times i think it was until I finally got a decent build going now if you have played any rougelite you know after a while the enemies are multiple and swarm you fast so this game offers a day and night cycle now you can brave the night and fight taking on stronger enemies or you can find a bunker and sleep the night away and it resets the field for a bit but whatever items you didnt grab before you went to sleep you lose immediately which is part of the reset. Now as you level up you can unlock a new power but on later levels it slows down as you need more and more xp so from all the power ups I noticed there was no xp power up just the basic powers at different levels as well as speed, power and attack speed.

So far each level plays the same 10k monsters survive and move to the next im stuck on a level as the monsters hit harder and none of the combinations im doing seem to help me out but that isnt stopping me from having a good time and honestly that was a worry of mine could I have a good time while having to kill so many monsters and for me that answer was yes I was still having fun the levels offer monster diversity as well as random events happen that make them even more funnier my favorite is when you set off a nuke it explodes and an alien pops up looking like wtf is going on theres also random power ups like riding a cow and plowing through enemies until it explodes theres also piñatas around the map that help keep you going by giving you health and candy which you need.

Later levels does increase in difficulty but that just adds to the challenges and makes the game more fun all in all Ground Hero Zero has been amazing its a blast and I for one am looking forward to how they keep the game growing thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
