Pokemon Scarlet

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.

The Wandering Village

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.

FreeGuy

I wasn’t expecting this movie to be as good as it turned out let’s jump in and talk

So Freeguy is a comedy by ryan reynolds and even though hes great at comedy movies how do you make a movie about a game be funny and great at the same time i don’t know how he managed but he did.

So the movie takes place inside a game called free city which honestly just feels like grand theft auto as you watch the movie our main character played by ryan is an NPC or non playable character called guy who works in the bank getting robbed by players over and over until one day hes walking down the street with his friend buddy who’s a security guard at the bank and they encounter a glasses person humming a song and that right there is what causes our beloved guy to become the first A.I or artificial intelligence in the game he soon sets out to meet said player only to fail the first few tries until eventually he meets her, she than gives him the ropes about leveling up and playing the game which he does fantastically. But as the story progresses not all is what it seems as our second protagonist is on a mission to get back what was stolen from her by the corporate bad guy. With little to go on the adventure sets out and soon the craziness commences our comedy has bits of love story thrown in and its a wonderful time to sit back and enjoy.

The movie features some beloved real life streamers which just adds to the authenticity of this being a video game and i for one loved every minute of this 2 hour movie with a great cast and a fun story Freeguy is definitely worth the watch i was able to watch it on disney plus but its also on dvd so give this movie a chance and have fun with it thank you for stopping by enjoy and game on

Snowrunner

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about a beautiful gem ive found called snowrunner, yes i understand the game has been out for a while now but i recently bought it during the steam sale and wanted to share my experience. Enjoy.

The Game

So snowrunner is an exploration driving adventure game yes i call it adventure cause each drive you take is an adventure in itself. So you explore the wilderness finding paths to get from point a to b as well as discover some awesome vehicles and land marks in the game which are worth finding. But the game is more then that.

Difficulty

I wanna say i went into this game blind no previous knowledge not even a youtube video i wanted a fresh start and boy did i get it this game really puts everything you know about driving to the test and in a big part your patience is tested each time you take a quest or go for a drive. I’ve played many simulation games but this was the first where every path roadway mud puddle dirt road made you think and watch how you drove threw them and i must say damn the physics of the game are insane. The mud puddles bog you down the waters ruin your engine theres so much thinking you have to take into account that i love how realistic this driving sim game is truly fantastic.

World

So you start in the backwoods of michigan and can move to the frozen landscapes of alaska or russia and a few other spots if you buy the dlc for the game. Each surrounding is beautiful as time passes the sun changing your views truly a picture perfect game for taking pictures of your best views.

Vehicles

The game has a healthy selection of cars to earn as well as upgrades to find and there is a decent roster added if you purchase the dlc passes adding more monster rigs to help aid you in completing these task.

Fun factor

The game is fun but it quickly becomes obvious this is one of those games where the full fun factor is better received by playing in multi-player mode with your friends you can still have fun alone but its obvious pretty fast that the game is more enjoyable with others and its one of those that makes it painfully obvious.

Final thoughts

All in all the game is a great time killer to play and highly enjoyable if you have friends with you can also drive around finding scenic spots to take some killer pictures and upload them i recommend this game specially if you can find a few friends to play you will all enjoy it together thank you all have a great day and game on.

Wreckfest

Hello everyone how’s it going today i wanted to talk to you about a fun racing destruction game I’ve been playing on pc called wreckfest truly a race fast hit hard game let’s dive in.

The Premise

So for those that have never heard of this gem wreckfest is a racing destruction derby game by developer bugbear sweet studio name. So yeah thats the biggest part of the game racing tracks causing mayhem and yes its as fun as it sounds.

Story mode

The game has a sweet story mode which is a bunch of races divided into different championships and sub races so while you start with 1 car you make your way through the races earning money upgrades and getting sweet new rides to use in there classified races since they use the letter ranking system. The races do get challenging one wrong turn or not slowing down enough and you will pay the price between losing position and taking damage, the races are all different types between arena derby destruction to figure 8 races and everything in between you won’t get bored even on amateur i was having a hard time during the later races, and yes each move you make helps or hurts you so careful when you race or get wrecked hard.

Multi-player

So this mode is the online mode i didnt get to try it out since i was having to much fun competing in story mode but i do know you can make custom races for you and your friends or go against the world.

Final Thoughts

The game is fun yes its a generic racing game but the fact that is the game is fun and i highly recommend it for those that haven’t tried it you won’t be disappointed and the game does drop in price during sales so give it a chance and enjoy thank you all and game on

Future Post

Hello everyone how’s it going just wanna talk about the future and whats in store for the blog.

Focus

So my main focus is still to get out post as often as i can and make sure there as detailed as i can make them for you guys.

Current projects

Right now I’m working on 3 games and hope to bring you them as soon as possible just wanna get more time with each game before i make an official post.

Results

I hope to bring everyone awesome results and enjoyable post and many more fun games down the road so please have some patience with me as it takes a bit of time for me to game between my newborn and work, but I’m doing my best.

All in all i hope everyone is having a great time and is enjoying my blogs thank you all for your time and have a great day.

InfraSpace

Hey everyone. How’s it going today? I wanna talk to you about a fun little city builder that I first came across on YouTube which made me wanna try it out for myself. That game is called Infraspace.

The Game

So infraspace is a city builder similar to games like city skylines but a bit more freedom as you place the buildings instead of just making zones and letting the game do the rest. You see infraspace adds more to the table as every building in the game inter connects with others in a massive production chain and I wish massive was an exaggeration but it’s not. You need houses to bring in people who will work in each building you make and as your city gets bigger well so do the troubles but that will be a bit later on. This game also has a research tree thats nicely incorporated into the game as well.

Tech Tree

I haven’t played many city builders that have a tech tree that I can remember but I love how the developer incorporated it into the game. The tree and your city work as one, the more your city grows and meets the requirements the more the tree opens up and the more goodies you get to experience for your city. Which honestly I can’t wait to see what else they add into the tree and game.

Resources

Like other games the main income of the game are the random resources laying around the planet ranging from sand to copper to iron and aluminum and there’s plenty of it thankfully its all unlimited. But I would love to see a mode added where the resources run out and it keeps you on your toes that would be cool.

Uniqueness

Now the part that makes this game unique is what many would consider the most trivial. What makes the game hard comes down to your roads, yes you read that right, the roads you see the main aspect of the game is transport. How fast you can get from point A to B and so forth but the roads don’t become an issue until your city has grown by a big amount. I’ve failed already about 4 times but I don’t give up. I keep trying thinking of how to make things work. I admit I’m not the greatest at designing but  I do what I can with what I know which isn’t much. So be careful when you’re working on your cities or before you know it you could end up in big trouble and your city at a stand still.

Conclusion

This game is fun and challenging in its own ways. The developers are still working on it and have a massive road map of things they wanna add to the game so if you want a fun city builder please give this game a shot you won’t be disappointed.

Roadmap

Life

Hello everyone i wanted to write to you because some things have changed in my life and even though it won’t stop the blog it may slow down how often i post content for a while So let me share.

Newborn

My second kid was born on monday so im back to the new stages of fatherhood again, my oldest is 7 so this will take some time until the wife and i can get him into routines as well as take care of everything around the house. I refuse to let this blog go inactive so for now expect so time between post.

Content

The content will remain the same between games and movies as well as trailer links so i hope to bring you much enjoyable content in due time thank you for being patient.

Second Writer

I hope to find someone i can trust to be a second writer to help push out content the last person i had fell through after 1 post so i won’t make that mistake again i hope to find someone i can mesh with and work great with to give this blog the life it needs.

Final Thoughts

All in all the blog will be moving forward at a slow pace but i promise to bring more content out i thank you all for the support have a great night

Flycorp

Hello everyone how are you doing, tonight I wanna talk to you about a fun little time killer I’ve been playing called flycorp I recently got this during the steam sale after seeing a few YouTube videos on it and I gotta say this game is fun and definitely brings you back for more so let’s dive in.

Unlock all countries

In this game mode which I consider it the story mode of some sorts your only goal is to unlock a new country to progress but it’s not that simple cause if it was I wouldn’t be writing about it. So you start off in Europe yes I’ve played multiple instances and it’s always Europe but anyways you start with 4 cities and a small amount of money you connect them all and let the game start working, now it’s not that simple you see each new route cost money upgrading both planes and airports cost money which you must do in order to keep the flow of people under control but the biggest part of this is the timer your fighting against at the top right corner you see if that hits 0 and you haven’t unlocked the specified country it’s game over basically and you either restart or reload, but that’s not all back to the money see you earn money for every completed flight and can use it for upgrades but that’s also how you unlock new countries but that’s not all to give a challenge to the game with each new unlock the money needed goes up which isn’t a problem later on as the timer extends but during the first few minutes its all about making each move count. The dev team really took there time with this mode and you can tell there’s a lot of action going on at once but it doesn’t become overwhelming until the map is covered a good amount the unlocks is only one worry as time goes on new cities pop up on areas you have unlocked then more management comes into place for better routes and trying to make things more efficient, all in all this is a very fun and enjoyable mode and I can’t wait to see what the devs have in store for it one thing I would love to see is maybe a random start location with each new playthrough so that it doesn’t get boring trying to conquer the same area until you get it right but that’s just my opinion.

Scenarios

This mode is like a chapter select mode with different maps and events taking place but you unlock them as you pass each given scene which doesn’t seem so bad but you are playing against a timer and with each start being slow it might be a bit of hard work at first but then it gets faster as you move on it offers 9 episodes across 3 difficulties but only the first of each is unlocked so this mode I feel is to give players some fun short missions and maybe a break from the main goal of the game which is unlock the world. I definitely hope more scenarios are added in the future to keep this section going if not it might die off quickly.

Free Play

Just how it sounds free play is what I consider the training grounds after the tutorial for you to just go in and play at your pace without any timers or any game overs it’s a fun spot just going at your own pace and seeing how good you can get before going on to challenge the other parts of the game and I’m glad it’s included cause this is definitely a more relaxed mode incase you just wanna blow steam and not stress over the micro management you must do.

Custom Scenarios

So this one it didn’t give me access to cause it’s still locked by the devs but I imagine it will be for players to make there own chapters and then upload them for others to complete which if it is will be awesome as the only game out that I know of that does something similar is Mario maker if you know of others let me know please. I’m sorry I don’t have more info on this section but only time will tell what the developer has in store for this section and I for one can’t wait to find out.

Final Thoughts

All in all this is a great game and a fun time killer and also not expensive coming in at 7.99 on steam your not breaking the bank by buying it I’ve had a great time playing it the few hours I’ve played and plan on playing more hours as the game adds more content and well I really wanna beat my score for unlock the world I hope you give this game a chance it’s not demanding so doesn’t need a high end pc to play but it’s definitely a fun indie game to try out thank you all for coming by have a great night and game on

2022 goals

Hey everyone how’s it going? I know I’ve been away from the blog and just wanted to say I hope to change that this coming year so lets talk for a bit.

So my expectations are to hopefully be more active on the blog and write more as well as my main focus is to write better I know some of my post are all over the place and I’m sorry I admit my writing skills aren’t the greatest and I’m sure plenty can tell by my post. But I plan on working on that as well so I hope you will have some patience with me as I work on growing my skills.

I can’t say how many blog post I’ll be churning out but I plan on working on them as best as possible to make them flow and hopefully make more sense at least I hope.

Now I say I do have 1 goal and I know it’s a giant stretch but my goal is to get my blog good enough that I can try and get my first review copy of a game I know that seems insane but it’s my only goal that I wanna workloads that involves this blog as well as my career in gaming.

So there you have it I hope to share this journey and have my blog grow as I progress thank you to everyone that has shown my blog some love I thank you all take care and game on
