Age after Age Demo

Hello everyone today i wanna talk to you about a demo i played called age after age but first a big thank you to the team at Farom Studios for sending me the demo to check out lets dive in.

I love me a city builder just as much as anyone else and age after age is a city builder and colony sim with a few other things sprinkled in.

Now the demo starts you out as the governor arriving at your village which has been left in shambles by the previous party in charge now i dont mind picking up and fixing other people’s mess but this demo should have been a basic tutorial showing you the ropes and then letting you have fun the demo shows you how to build some stuff add people and thats it you gotta figure the rest out.

Now i wasnt doing to bad unlocked research and was working on making my town bigger and better and I was doing good with the exception of a few annoyances mainly the wood cutters always having problems getting around there building to cut tree it was really pissing me off everytime there building was red was because the stupid npcs didnt know how to walk around shit.

Some buildings you need multiple of just to make 1 building work like the forge for example you need 2 mines so one can send coal and the other iron.

This demo was fun and has plenty of potential i would like to see some qol updates like an upgrade all building instead of having to upgrade each building one at a time such a nuisance I look forward to seeing this game on release again thanks to the devs for the demo have a great day and game on

Arms of God

Hey everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Arms of God an interesting rougelite but first huge thank you to Dark Jay Studios for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated let’s dive in.

Gear up for a battle through hell in this rougelite bullet heaven arena autoshooter with doom inspired gore vibes and metal music and a satisfying combat feel weild five weapons at once upgrade and merge them to forge indestructible builds and bring divine justice to a world on the brink of chaos thats there excerpt on steam and its a good one.

Now onto the game you play a Templar who goes into combat with a cross that at first doesnt do much you have an arm system similar to doc ocs from spiderman which I think is bad ass seeing your weapons moving around on there own as your dodge enemies to hit points of interest and stay alive is very well done.

This rougelite has a ton of flavor to it the cross has its own skill tree the weapons have there own upgrades and the character gets its own blessings this game has so much to do that you dont see it all each run.

The game is broken down into acts and each act has 15 levels you gotta beat now dont play if you dont have time to do them all at once as you cant save and come back least I didnt notice.

The combat feels smooth the dodge mechanic thank lord for one and weaponry has a good variety with more as you progress, this is one game I definitely recommend theres to much in the game for me to spoil so if your a fan of rougelites and bullet hell games give arms a god a chance you will not be disappointed thank you all and have a great day and game on.

Solarpunk PS5 Review

Hello everyone how are you doing today we talk about a new survivor game that ive had the pleasure of testing out on PS5 and that is solarpunk but first a huge thank you to Rokaplay for sending me the game its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Solarpunk is an open world survival crafting game thats set in a technologically advance world where floating islands are the norm and who knows if there’s an actual ground.

The game starts you off with the most basic tutorial teaching you how to gather things from berries to stone and sticks then it teaches you how to build your set of basic tools a hatchet and pickaxe to a garden hoe and then it sets you loose literally thats it you gotta figure out the building the menu navigating and everything else.

Now ive played my share of survival games this one is fun because its cozy you play at your pace you garden explore build and gather no timers rushing you no impending boss music and no bad guys to bother you and reset your progression like other games do. Its all just sit back and enjoy.

The major selling point is you can bring your friends along in your world and do everything together and honestly more survival games should aim for a co op aspect it would make the game even more fun I know a few that could do with some co op, did i get to try it out myself sadly i didnt not many of my console friends do the cozy games.

All in all this game is a vibe and fun to play with or with out friends no pressure and for 22.99 its not over the top expensive and if controllers aren’t your jam the game is also available on steam so thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Exo Rally Championship

So what do you get when you take rally racing off world you get exo rally championship but first i wanna say huge thank you to the team at future friends games and exbleative for sending me out a key its greatly appreciated now lets dive in.

So ive never really played regular rally games they just never really caught my attention but for some reason Exo Rally Championship seemed interesting right off the bat so its a rally game thats set in outer space on different planets each offering different environments and dangers to your run.

The game does have a tutorial which teaches you the basics of the game as well as how to control your car and the big one how to use your thrusters to help stabilize the car during big air jumps which trust me you will need it.

The game offers a few different modes theres series, time trials and multiplayer and i for one was looking forward to jumping into the multiplayer until I saw how they designed it which was a huge let down.

The multi-player tab is designed for people who have friends that also have the game you create a lobby with a pass code fill it up and off you go well devs not everyone has a list of friends that play the same game why didnt you just make it with regular match making it would have been so much easier and actually have people play it.

The series is the regular story mode which is very interesting as your driving for a team thats basically rock bottom and its your job to bring them back to glory.

All in all Exo Rally Championship is fun and definitely worth it with a few tweaks like changing the multiplayer set up this game could definitely be huge for the competitive crowd again thanks to the devs and take care and game on.

Space Haven

Today I wanna talk to you about a space station builder called Space Haven but first huge thank you to the devs at Bugbyte for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Firstly I wanna talk about the tutorial im critical of games when they dont offer a tutorial but space haven has one but sadly i dont like how it was done the tutorial is broken down into 3 sections and each section has a bunch of smaller chapters which is fine my issue is that it doesnt flow nicely once your done with one chapter instead of flowing right into the next chapter it pauses then proceeds theres not a continuous flow and that honestly is distracting and breaks concentration at least for me it did i like tutorials that flow and progress and dont stop your experience i hope the devs can tweak it a bit so it flows better thats my biggest issue.

Now even with the tutorials knowledge at hand I had a very hard time surviving i was getting major flashbacks to my experience with Adaptory but even so I kept trying after each wipe I ran again but I just wasnt progressing sadly.

The only real goal of the game is to survive long enough to find a new planet called eden to survive on, ill probably give the game another go down the line to see how many times i die again but right now its not for me, but steam says otherwise the game has been received with great reception so to my fellow builders who are better then me please show me the way thank you all 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

Apokerlypse

Hey everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about Apokerlypse but first I wanna thank Breaker Games for sending me a copy of the game to check out so let’s dive in.

To be honest right off the bat this game lost me it has a tiny and I mean tiny tutorial and then throws you off a cliff now I know how to play poker to some extent but this game had me so confused with some of the mechanics.

So the normal rules applied pairs beat singles triple beats pairs and so on but at times those rules didnt apply making some unnecessary passes, then this game adds chips into the mechanics where each chip is a buff in some form theres also a device on the right where you get special powers all of this is going on in a bar in hell yeah your playing poker in hell and the demons and chips and cards all have powers.

Some how I managed to keep winning I got a hang of what beats what but in order to win you need to clear your hand out which thanks to some cards is easy to manage.
I apologize now this review is so screwed I had a really hard time grasping this game and trying to understand everything.

Is it fun yes is it interesting absolutely its a concept you dont see and can work wonders I just wished the translation was better some character names aren’t in English and the achievements ive gotten aren’t in English as well.

Give this game a chance you might grasp the concept better then I did thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Bus Bound

Hey everyone hows it going? Today I wanna talk to you about Bus Bound an amazing bus sim that ive been hooked on but first a massive massive thank you to Saber Interactive for sending me the code its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

First off im a huge sim fan i have over 80 hours in games like American truck sim as well as Euro truck sim I also tried out a different bus sim but it didnt go over so well but driving games I love so when saber gave me the chance to try out bus bound I knew I had to really dive in.

So for my first bus sim game I went in open minded no expectations just straight raw experience and boy was I floored and blown away everything from the driving nailing the way a bus feels on a turn to the visuals of the city as you drive by to the traffic hell even the pedestrians everything just came together and felt alive at times I forgot I was playing a game the immersion was unreal and so well done I had a hard time putting my controller down.
Now I played on the PS5 I havent tried my wheel with it yet but from what ive seen on discord some wheels are hit or miss on recognition. The game is available on all major systems and also has a season pass that will add 3 content expansions the moment they become available so definitely grab that if your able to. So again I played on PS5 and the controls were fantastic on the lower left side of the screen there’s a control legend telling you what buttons do what which it all gets introduced to you during the short but detailed tutorial and during every run thats there so you dont forget it which is a huge win cause that way even if you forget something just look over and boom your set very well done and absolutely doesn’t break immersion.

Now I talk about immersion cause thats what you want in certain games you wanna feel like your in it and bus bound does an amazing job of that from the passengers getting upset to complimenting you as you drive theres never a dull moment.

So the city your driving in is Emberville a beautiful city broken down into 7 districts that you work on growing and changing as you progress the story, each route is a benefit to the city and each stop is a hot spot to the route you see this games major focus is on progression and evolution as people are dropped off at a stop they give you points get enough points and a stop levels up if you level up enough stops the district grows and evolves and this is my favorite part of the game your taking a city thats become to focused on corporate life with parking lots and roads filled with cars you change that with every district you upgrade slowly more bus stops open up new sites to explore special bus only areas appear and thats just the start the people notice they get excited and more people start using the bus giving you more passengers in return.

Every stop unlocks its own bonus some give you new buses and others give you multipliers which help you upgrade an area faster everything works together to better not only you the player but the world around you as well.

The buses there’s a total of 19 buses the game starts you off with 5 buses each different in its own way some are diesel powered while others are electric and there’s one thats hydrogen powered they each support a different amount of passengers each bus has a stat block that shows up as your picking them as well as a bit of info on the bus your about to use each bus is also customizable you can change there colors or add a livery to them, there’s small 20 passenger bus then there’s my favorite the giant 60 foot long buses there’s even a double decker bus you unlock later on in the game, the buses also have a mastery system the more you use them the more mastery points you earn so even though you may have your favorite bus maybe try to master them all they each play different as well the diesel ones coast better which require you to use the break on them while the electric and hydrogen ones slow down faster and dont have any coast ability at all which is beneficial in some roads.
Your points multiplier is at the mercy of your driving ability and how well you do, you see from stop to stop its a test did you slow down to harshly you lose points did you make that stop sign just right you earn some as well but drive to fast or run a red light and passengers will let you know how disappointed in you they are and take a hit to your multiplier so make sure you follow the rules even though you wanna drive fast and get there dont rush enjoy the drive and scenery trust me its worth it plus the more points you earn the faster you upgrade and unlock stuff.

Now the game does have multiplayer sadly only the host gets progression I hope they change this down the line but im sure its more of a stability issue to keep the game running smoothly, I played a bit with my buddy Matt we drove around did some runs and it was fun. Your able to see each other’s buses the lobby limit is 4 players yes you can crash into each other but passengers will get mad at you, you can do the same routes but my advice would be just do different routes so your not picking up a small amount of passengers I feel multiplayer is better played later on in the game when you have most of it unlocked so that way you have a good amount of stuff to do and it feels more worth while my buddy Matt just started today and yeah it wasnt much fun when you dont have a lot unlocked.

For my first bus sim game ive had a blast playing it ive put in over 13 hours in 3 days I know compared to others my numbers are low but I dont wanna stop playing im looking forward to what the devs add content wise I wanna see more buses and maybe new areas also maybe some more classic buses if there are any to add I wanna see the game grow I cant wait for the future of this game even though it just released I am having such a fun time with it and I plan on sinking many more hours as I wanna max out everything and unlock the last few buses I have left.

Playing on ps5 I didnt have any issues at all no stutter or crashes its very well done for console and it shows the devs did amazing with it and yes the game does offer compatability with steering wheels which I wanna try it out so bad but I dont have a good set up sadly so down the road hopefully.

Also the bus route system is so easy to learn I was expecting it to be a nightmare on console but I was so wrong you literally hover over a stop click the add button and boom your set move to the next one and repeat until you have the stops you want and finish giving you a new route to play I love that the game acknowledges each route you make while your playing truly top tier work by the devs for that.

All in all Bus Bound has been a dream of a sim game my mind was blown away the beauty of emberville the evolution and growth the changes as you progress the buses and how they handle each one different from the last the passengers praising and thanking you as you drive the positive and negative emotions displayed the random traffic problems that can pop up during your drive everything is so well done and thought out that you could mistake this game for real life the devs have hit a grand slam with this game and I genuinely am looking forward to the future of the game again a massive thank you to Saber Interactive for sending me the game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Under Par Golf Architect

Hello everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about a new golf game the first ive ever played called Under Par Golf Architect but first a huge thanks to Broken Arms Games for the review code its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So this game is pretty simple you design a golf course hole by hole you choose the distance if you want them straight or angled then you go and start placing the different green and fairways as well as any obstacles that you desire its pretty simple you can also place sand traps or water ways to make things a bit harder each hole gets a grade depending on what you have placed around it which makes it that more interesting to see how golfers react.

The game offers a career mode which is a great way to learn the game as it has you do different task to get the course going and going you will as the mayor of the area becomes a huge fan and after completing a few task he has you make a tournament which is the biggest goal of any course if you ask me.

You also get to place stuff like rest rooms water fountains and snack bars as well as a restaurant after you unlock it.

You also get to try your course there’s an option that let’s you take control of your avatar so you can test out your course which is pretty awesome if you ask me.

The game is fun and simple a great time killer as you watch your creations be played and grow i wasnt expecting to have this much fun playing it but im glad I did play it cant wait to see what they add to the game down the road.

All in all under Par Golf Architect is fun and a great time killer its out on steam so check it out thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Parking Garage Rally Curcuit and Euro Tour DLC

Hey everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about parking garage rally circuit and its dlc the euro tour but first huge thank you to Walaber Entertainment LLC for sending me a code for both game and dlc its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Parking garage rally is a simple and fun game you have an American circuit and the dlc adds the euro circuit the objective is be fast i played some of the American maps and they were nice each offered its own difficulty working from easy to hard and the goal is to place in the top 3 to continue after about 5 maps I decided to try the euro tour.

And here is where the game takes the gloves off the first map took me 2 tries to beat it the second map sadly I have not been able to beat and no matter how much I try I cant beat it ive come close super close just shy by a minute but nothing I do gets me over the line.

Now there’s no set difficulty its all based on pure skills and how well you do but man do I wanna beat it the dlc offers a good amount of maps to try out but you have to beat the previous map to progress.

All in all parking garage rally is fun its simple it has the old school look and handles amazing the controls they nailed it so if anyone out there has some advice other then get gud please tell me. Thanks for stopping by take care and game on.
