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.

Tiny Bookshop

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about a small gem ive been playing on ps5 called Tiny Bookshop, but first massive thank you to Neoludic Games, Skystone Games and 2P games for sending me out the code to check the game out its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about it.

First off this game is cozy very cozy and relaxing I had such a chill time playing i almost forgot I was playing a game because of how well done this game is.

So in Tiny Bookshop you move from the big city and find yourself in a small town called Bookstonbury where you decide to open up a small book shop out of a trailer attached to your car the game does a great job of walking you through stuff between opening up your shop and restocking it before each day, as you play you meet the locals who are all very happy to have a bookstore in town as the old shop closed up as the owner retired which ironically shes the first person you meet and interact with. Theres plenty of other villagers that you meet and slowly get to know as they open up more missions and quest for you that are all simple.

The town also has different locations where you can travel to and sell your books each location will have a different type of genre priority so those books will sell more so try your best to remember to keep customers happy.

The game is slow and simple you get to provide customers with help in finding books sometimes you get it and others you dont but its part of business, everyday you get the chance to buy more books to restock and grow your inventory so its good to always be on the look out for sales.

The locations are very relaxed and the art style used in this game fits perfectly with the plot of the game. Ive played a decent amount of cozy games but this one takes the top spot there’s no stress nothing to over think just open up shop help your customers and have a great day what more can you ask for.

Tiny Bookshop is definitely a must grab for those cozy lovers out there its available on steam and console, again thanks to the devs for sending me a key thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Outriders Worldslayer DLC

I dont play many games often that pull me in and wont let go but outriders was one of them I loved the game and its story so much I had to finish it and bought the dlc to continue this amazing story.

In worldslayer the world is falling apart ice storms are destroying everything and it seems hopeless but zahidi had been talking to another dr that sadly was an insurgent who had discovered a way to stop the storms after saving zahidi from almost being killed you set put on a journey to the most forbidden area in the game the black Gulch why is it so forbidden eh who knows its just a bunch of crazy people killing for fun left and right and a commander who has some insane powers who’s also a bit crazy with a god complex.

As you progress the story you find more of the Pax frozen I was sad considering all the pax we came across were dead or transformed into ferals finally you find what the Dr had discovered a forcefield in the middle of nowhere holding off the anomaly storm where once your inside you discover the last living surviving pax a shamen who had been in talks with the Dr who also knows a way who shows our commander the truth.

Then there’s the trials a sorta mini raid where you go from room to room fighting and discovering what happened to father along the way and what drove his madness with some great boss fights lots of loot and plenty of enemies to kill the trials were honestly amazing and I enjoyed my time in them.

But after seeing the ending and how the dlc finishes I can whole heartedly say fuck you square Enix I hope you guys go under you spent years and money on saving final fantasy 14 and yet you couldn’t give this game the proper time it needed everyone knows looter shooters take time to grow look at borderlands and destiny you had a beautiful fucking gem on hand and pissed it away we were supposed to get a sequel and thats never gonna happen cause of the greedy fucking assholes over at square I hope one day people can fly will buy the rights to the ip and finish what they started real fans need the second game or even another dlc.

Sorry about that let my mood get the best of me all in all worldslayer was an amazing continuation to the story and had some great times in it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Grind Survivors

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about grind survivors but first huge thank you to Pushka Studios for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So Grind Survivors is an action rougelite bullet hell game and does it live up to those tags the game starts you off on a forest level with difficulty 1 you start out the usual you kill enemies gain xp to level up and get more abilities each ability has a chance of evolving and becoming stronger which is a big benefit as your being surrounded, the game also offers alters where you get small stat boost that can make or break a run.

Ive made it to difficulty 3 on the forest I have yet to unlock a new map because honestly the game doesn’t tell you which is bogus cause for the characters and other difficulties it tells you how to unlock them not a fan of that to be honest.

I played on a ps5 and the game played beautifully no lag issues no stutters even when having hundreds of enemies on screen at once the game ran beautifully and you can tell the devs put in a lot of work.

Theres also a skill tree which let’s you increase certain stats with points you get from each run, as well as a forge to make your weapons stronger.

All in all the game does a great job keeping you entertained and making sure your able to survive as you progress i look forward to seeing what else the devs add to the game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Outriders

Not many games grab my attention anymore let alone keep it but for a while now I had been wanting to play outriders it gave me destiny vibes with the powers and space background so when I bought a new ps5 I made it my goal to get outriders and I did and damn what a fucking game.

Now for those who dont know outriders was made by the team at people can fly and published by square Enix releasing back in 2021 I didnt get to play during its prime and I wish I had.

The story follows you the player who’s an outrider having just landed on Enoch a new planet after we left our home of earth since it was dying and crumbling. Enoch when you land is beautiful its amazing the flora and animals its everything you would dream of it reminded me of the world in James Cameron’s Avatar just beautiful, but then the storm shows up and everything goes to hell you escape only to get thrown into cryo and then you wake up.
Now this is where shit gets real what feels like minutes to you maybe hours is actually 30 years and everything is hell the beautiful world you saw is no more now its just a waste land and everyone trying to survive at least what’s left of it.

Now the game starts you off meeting some people you knew saving others and throwing you right into the chaos and I for one was up for it im not a fan of slow starts in action games and as someone who had tons of hours in Destiny and played a good amount of borderlands I had some expectations for this game when it came to the loot and it didnt disappoint at all the gear and guns had mods that helped you out and made you stronger but wait im getting ahead of myself you see just after you wake up you pick your class which is where all your powers are born from and how the game really becomes fun I picked pyromancer a mid range fighter that also self heals which for my play style is perfect since I like to pretend im a tank and jump in the middle of hell.

Theres a few classes to choose from a tank a support and the midrange i might have to go back and try another class but I have a lot of cleaning up to do in my game. Now the game is multiplayer so you can play with others or go at it alone and the best part there’s tiers so you start at tier 0 if thats to easy it moves up in total there’s 15 tiers of difficulty but each rewards you even more if you play the higher tiers.

The story was amazing everytime I played I wanted to know more it got to the point where I stopped doing side quest and exploring because I needed to know what the hell was going on and by god the discoveries the plot twist everything was just insane by the time I reached the ending of the game my jaw was on the floor needing more, yes there is a dlc which I hope to be able to get sometime soon so I can continue with whatever story they added there. I never expected the story to be so amazing you can tell the dev team really had high hopes for this game and I curse square Enix for pulling the damn plug.

This game goes on sale often I ask all of you give it a chance play it its on pc Xbox and ps5 the game is amazing the story leaves you wanting more the ending top tier I highly recommend this game and to the devs I hope you can someday give us the second game that so many of us really want thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Marathon Server Slam

So yesterday was the first day to bungies new game Marathon and there server slam. I went in with some buddies to test it out and here are my initial thoughts.

The design in the menus definitely didnt like it gave me a headache looking at it i felt like I was watching an old Vhs movie the colors didnt help at all either.

The User interface needs work everything was so confusing and I felt everything blended in you have one menu option on the bottom left the other on the top right then in the middle left like god damn pick one spot and leave it at that fuck sakes.

The items are even more confusing since there mainly just different colors and while your in combat you dont really get a chance to read what shit is so you know what you need.

The pvp was very lackluster in the whole time i was playing we only came across 4 pvp battles and I felt that wasnt nearly enough.

The weapons were fun and the movement was ok. I know this was just the first day but these are my thoughts ill keep you posted as the server slam progresses

Cult of the Lamb nintendo switch version

So ive been playing cult of the lamb on the nintendo switch and I gotta say the game has been a total blast.

For those that havent played or heard of it your a lamb thats sacrificed to prevent a great evil from happening except that by sacrificing you your brought face to face with the great evil who gives you power so you can start a new cult and bring him back to life.

Now this game has a lot of aspects from the dungeon crawling to building up the cult you always have something to do in the game and honestly it never gets old, from rituals to feast to building beds for your followers the game let’s you be who you want either good or evil its your choice and your not punished for it.

Now the dungeon aspect of the game I could compare it to moonlighter you have 5 dungeons each one needing to be beaten a few times in order to unlock the next one and so on but you also find people that help you along the way as well as new followers to worship you as you progress keep in mind each door has to be beaten 4 times on the 4th run you reach the final boss destroy him and unlock the chains on the final door but of course people wanna see you fail and will do stuff in order for you to fail.

Keeping your followers happy is huge and can be done between dungeon runs you clean up after them cook them food perform rituals and so one and the fact is your followers are adorable little animals in your lamb kingdom.

Ive never had so much fun with a game ive spent plenty of time just chilling with my followers making things better for them so they in turn can help me with upgrades and progression.

Cult of the lamb offers you a lot to do so your never bored and it runs great on the nintendo switch other then some small lag spikes and some loading times feel a bit longer the switch plays it like a champ and is the perfect handheld for cult of the lamb, there’s also plenty of dlc available which I havent gotten to purchase any as ive wanted to beat the base game so if you want a fun adventure with lots to do check out cult of the lamb its available on all consoles and pc through steam thank you all take care and game on

Brotato Switch Version

What do you get when a game has over 20 characters to unlock, tons of weapon combinations, hundreds of items, and tons of replay ability? you get brotato the bullet hell game thats literal hell let’s dive in.

So I never played brotato before but it was on sale for the nintendo switch and decided to give it a chance after hearing it mentioned in a video a few times and im glad I gave it a chance the game is so much fun and has so much to offer that no 2 runs are the same no matter how hard you try.

So the game gives you 6 levels of difficulty to unlock you start at level 0 and move up after beating it, unlike other bullet hell games where you only get 4 weapons or spells brotato let’s you pick 6 and you can combine them to make them stronger emptying out spaces for new weapons to take there place so trust me when I say the combinations are in the hundreds most likely you have weapons from guns to clubs to even a rocket launcher and a wand so the game isnt lacking at all.

Now if you want your runs to be even more difficult then choose a character any character other then the basic guy each character has one or 2 positives with a few handicaps to follow and boy do they make the game tough on you.

It took me 8 runs before I was able to beat the boss he was a pain in the ass not only are you trying to kill him but your also killing the other mobs while dodging for your life, speaking of dodging there’s no dash in this game at least not that im able to find on the switch version and ive looked it up online dont know how accurate the info is but yeah no dash which makes boss battles that more intense.

I love everything ive experienced so far from this game the vast character selection the multiple weapon combos it reminds me why ive fallen in love with bullet hell games there easy to pick up your able to pause then if life or kids need you and the replay ability is astronomical I enjoyed the game so much I bought the switch and a ps4 copy of the game. The game plays amazing on the switch its the perfect time killer game and having the switch in handheld mode it runs flawlessly and playing it on a TV just adds to the enjoyment.

So if you like bullet hell games rougelites in general then brotato is for you yes the game is old its been out for years but its worth the pick up also has some dlc to it adding new content which I’ll pick up at a later date.

But thats all for now I highly recommend this game guys thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Nascar 25

First I wanna thank the team of IRacing for sending me the code for Nascar 25 it is greatly appreciated and I hope to work with you guys again.

So Nascar 25 is my first Nascar game ive played other racers like need for speed and forza even grand turismo back in the day but never had the opportunity to play Nascar until now.

I wasnt sure what to expect as I dont know many pros from the scene other then Dale JR so I went into this game with no expectations other then to have fun. Now when you first reach the menu there’s a few modes at the top you have career which launches your own rise in the sports I have a bit of time here and loved every second of it making my own racer and competing for a chance at greater things its the one thing I love about racing games when you can make your own career now your basically your own franchise making money from sponsors and races but also paying the bills and keeping your car going you gotta buy new bodies and chassis as well as engines and everything in between you get different level of equipment so you know there’s better parts as you progress.

Then there’s quick race which is pretty self explanatory you que up for a race and take off around the track hoping to hit number 1 on the podium.

Then there’s multiplayer or online racing where the glory of the world is waiting to put you in your place as you compete against real world players in tough demanding races battling it out for top position. Now these are mostly lobbies created by other racers would be cool to see some official lobbies from the devs so players dont set damages or tire wear to insane amounts. But this is the mode where everyone will be so this will have the most fun.

At the bottom there’s a drivers rating tab which shows you the ratings of every driver in the sport and which series there from the game offers a lot of information and its surprising I didnt expect so much when I started playing I definitely cant wait to see what’s coming to Nascar 25.

I played on a controller and it felt great no stutters during turns everything was very responsive I will be setting up my wheel and pedals to give it a proper go like a true Sim racer lol.

My time in the online races was fun but I barely found races since they all had late in the day start times and not many players I hope this is worked with so we can have more racing and less waiting around.

My time with Nascar 25 has been great from the smooth feel of the cars to the fun in career mode to the intense feel of racing your fellow gamers every second of it was great I give this game an 8/10 I cant wait to see what iracing has in store for this game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
