Yar Forgotten Throne PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about Yar Forgotten Throne for the PS5 but first i wanna thank the team at Axyos Games Entertainment for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated.

Now I dont get to play many single player games since many anymore use the souls formula so its hard for me to find a game I can just enjoy but then Yar was brought to my attention when the devs sent me a key so I decided to give it a shot and see whats going on.

In this game you set out a nobody looking to help the world from a great evil that has returned, so yeah pretty generic story loop good vs evil so when you start out you wash up on the shore near a small cabin this is where the game starts your tutorial now i am all for tutorials teaching players how to play and what buttons do what but I also hate when your forced to finish the tutorial and cant progress until its done but onwards.

After the tutorial I went exploring found some combat in the form of goblins and boars the combat was nothing spectacular honestly the camera movement felt sluggish as well then when you found people the damn cursor you get was horrendous it felt like I was back at my computer using a janky mouse couldn’t line up things right off the bat kept struggling why though when they coulda just made it snap and scroll like other games on consoles do this was a big turn off considering its used in every part of your inventory making the smallest of actions more time consuming.

Then came more combat against insects where you simply cant just fight them no you have to find xy and z to be able to fight im sorry I dont wanna have to find 6 other things just to kill one bug.

Honestly I did not enjoy this game at all and I cant recommend it the game feels like it needed more work and polish cause if I wanted this much stress I would just go play skyrim instead thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Fantasy Online 2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Songs of Glimmerwick

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

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

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

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

Mortal Shell 2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Forsaken Realms Vahrins Call

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DragonSword Awakening

Hello everyone today i wanna talk to you about a gem of an rpg ive been playing called DragonSword Awakening but first I wanna send a huge thank you to the team at HOUND13 for sending me the game its greatly appreciated.

Now there are rumors around that this was supposed to be a gacha game but everything was taken out is that true I dont know everything ive played and done so far has been acquired from the game itself the only things I see that cost money are some costumes and the deluxe edition upgrade other then that everything is in game well on to the show then.

So ive been playing deagonsword at a decent pace nothing huge im sitting at 10.3 hours as of this writing but expect that number to grow as I definitely have not scratched the surface of the game.

The game follows Lute after he crashes his ship onto the continent of Orbis in search of meeting with his family but fate has other plans for him as he meets castella and Johnny members of the Johnny mercenaries who are on a crazy quest to complete and trick lute into helping which is where the game starts letting you take over and a simple tutorial progresses you through the area. The game quickly enters you into combat and the combo system which makes combat unique in this game as each character offers there own status effects and combat style.

Soon after your back in town being dragged into a temporary trial with the Johnny group and this is where the story starts to unfold and so far its an amazing story one that has a good amount of plot twist.

The world of Orbis is big the map is huge and you slowly discover it as you go by finding these ancient windmills that clear up the fog in the pertaining area, there are also statues of the goddess that you must rebuild and each statue not only heals you but doubles as a warp point to make travel quicker and trust me travel you will but the game doesnt make you suffer as the game gives you this awesome beetle mount that helps get you around and the best part you use them to climb so you can get to higher areas.

The game also has cooking which is how you make healing items and theres also a blacksmith which helps craft gear so far though I havent seen any new weapons so im not sure if there is any.

Onto the game itself the game is very colorful the graphics feel a bit like genshin lots of colors and beauty the game plays amazing I havent encountered any stutters or frame drops exploring is fun and the cities are filled with life as you explore them you can actually talk to people as some even have quest you can do to earn more xp and materials.

The variety in monsters has been fun from different goblin types to what look like humanoid hyenas and even golems hiding in rock formations as well as bosses and some insane fights that are part of the story.

Ive had an amazing time with the game so far and I definitely recommend it if your a fan of rpg games and dont mind some exploring and questing as you go

Again I wanna thank Hound13 for sending me the game its been a blast and its greatly appreciated thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Cargo Please!

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about a sweet little gem made by a solo dev a huge thank you to Cyber752 Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Cargo Please! Is a fun top down style delivery game that has you running cargo all over the city, and well thats pretty much it.

So your taking over your uncle’s delivery route you start off with a scooter and start earning money you use your phone to accept jobs and you goal is to get the package to the destination as fast as possible while also keeping the package from being damaged if its damaged you lose points with the customer in turn hurting your rating and I gotta say those ratings are everything or so it may seem.

Theres a garage that helps you fix your ride from damage and its where you can also purchase new vehicles that are also faster and there are different tiers to the vehicles which also reflects in the jobs you get to take.

Now as with every delivery game there is a shall I say risky side to the business where you can take high risk jobs for more cash but watch out as the cops patrol the city and if they catch you with contraband well your out of luck.

All in all cargo please keeps it simple and aims for simplicity over complex unnecessary extras and honestly it shows in how fun the game is and is one of those play and chill games where the hours melt away.

Again I wanna thank cyber752 games for the game and thank you all for stopping by take care and as always game on.

Granblue Fantasy Relink Endless Ragnarok PS5 Review

Hey everyone hows it going? Today i wanna talk to you about GranBlue Fantasy Relinks base game story but first a huge thank you to Cygames inc for sending me the game its greatly appreciated and an honor to work with these guys for the first time.

GranBlue is an rpg with an amazing story it follows Gran and the crew as they journey across the skydom on an adventure to find the mythical floating island of estalucia This game has so much to talk about so I will do my best to cover most of it.

At first i went into this game thinking it might be a gotcha game having no history with this game i miss judged it and I am glad this game proved me wrong. First let’s talk about the graphics I havent had a game blow me away in graphics since final fantasy X on ps2 the game was just that beautiful between cinematics and cutscenes as well as general environments the game really left me amazed and I did not wanna stop playing i needed to know more of the story and what was going on.

Now i suck at rpg games when they involve stats and weapon stats i always mess them up but some how this game even though it had all that it was fairly easy to understand and to position everything the way i wanted the whole time I played i got massive final fantasy 10 vibes and honestly I loved it and wanted to see what else might have been in the vibe factor. Each character has its own stat tree which is great because it makes sure you pay attention to each character instead of just the one you control and trust me you will wanna invest as some of the fights I had I was way under leveled for.

There are multiple characters you get to use across your journey and even though there’s some in the store you can purchase at 3 dollars this is completely optional as the game has character cards you will find during your play through and you use these to unlock characters even the newest ones added from the dlc.

Theres also a new summon mechanic and transcendence and master levels that come from the dlc which i will talk more when i get to enjoy the dlc as well. Which your probably wondering if its worth the money and honestly yes it is considering how much new stuff is added and the size of the dlc itself absolutely buy it.

The combat system is easy to learn and hard to master between normal attacks and skills as well as link attacks theres a lot happening on screen and I found it easier to use the targeting system so I could keep my main target in focus. Each character has an ultimate attack gage that fills up as your battles progress letting you deal out huge damage if done right.

The places you visit are all beautiful from snow mountains to big city’s and everything in between theres something for you to do in each location and there’s a lot of items to find on each map everytime we went to a new location I would open up my map and run around a la path of exile lol.

Now the story was honestly intense I had moments i didnt wanna stop playing but had to cause you know adulting but man the bond between the party and lyria is insane everyone is one big family and the trials we faced left me with my jaw on the floor the final chapters of the story where everything got even more intense as enemies turned to allies and beyond truly top tier story telling the writers really knocked it out of the park.

Im sorry for so much vagueness but I dont like to spoil story points in my reviews and this game is one huge story so this is a bit hard when I write about the dlc ill do my best to touch more on the story just know that gran was not taking any crap from anyone he was getting lyria back no matter what.

I had a blast with this game sitting at around 16 hours for the base story i have so much more to discover and enjoy and i for one plan on it again thank you to Cygames for sending me a copy i greatly appreciate it everyone thank you for stopping by take care 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.

Bellwright PS5 Version

Hey everyone hows it going i was recently sent out the PS5 version of Bellwright to check out so lets talk about it but first huge thank you to Snail Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

Yes ive checked out bellwright before I was sent the PC version when there maiden voyage dlc dropped and I had fun with it for the most part so when the game dropped for PS5 i wanted to check it out sadly it didnt have the multiplayer active which is what I wanted to do which was play with my buddy and see how the game felt but enough of that this review will mainly focus on how it felt for console if you wanna read my bellwright review ill link the pc coverage below.

Now ive never played survivor games on consoles ive always felt for some games pc is just better but I wanted to see how well they adapted to using a controller and the console limits my biggest issue graphically is the motion blur when turning or running the game blurs together to the point its very annoying and hurts your eyes a lot and sadly there’s no way to turn off the motion blur in the settings for the console port big fail now it could just be the games to demanding but still I hope they fix it in the future.

Next the controls itself left stick is to move and instead of making sprint L3 they bind it to circle why every controller player and anyone that uses a controller knows L3 is sprint in most games

The building and a few menu options were stuffed under either L1 or square i think it was sorry so many controls over lap its hard to remember them all.

I biggest gripe is they didnt even use the touch pad for a mouse cursor they used it for the pause button when its clicked.

I feel this game needed a lot more time on controller mapping some of it feels ok and other aspects just dont work and the game itself nothing has changed you still start in the ruins you find the first village and work on gaining people’s trust I honestly feel the console port could have had more work done to it to help it feel more natural the combat is the biggest disaster you need to use the right stick to look around and try to get your swing into different spots its a massive headache honestly.

All in all the game still needs work and I hope future updates will improve it cause I do wanna see the game be a hit even if my review doesn’t sound like it below ive linked my original pc review again thank you to Snail Games for the game take care and game on
