Port of Jumanah PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Port of Jumanah but first a huge thank you to Red Dune Games for sending me a copy to check out so lets talk about it.

I was sent Port of Jumanah on the PS5 its a fun game simple and easy to learn very similar to cult of the lamb in certain aspects.

So you play as a young pearl diver by the name of Mansour who’s daily life is diving deep into the oceans finding pearls and moving on until one day a giant black clam rises out of the water and releases some black pearls into the world personally i feel this is a pirates reference you know curse of the black pearl but anyways yes the pearls were cursed and things start changing thus your adventure begins.

The game plays like cult of the lamb in terms that you go from room to room clearing out monsters and making your way through the maze until ypu find the exit room which saves your progression and continues the story for you.
The game offers 3 weapons and 3 gadgets to use during ypur adventures as well as cards with power ups and buffs to help you along the way the game is simple and easy to learn and is definitely a good distraction for players of all types again massive thank ypu to Red Dune Games and thank ypu all take care and game on

iRacing Arcade PS5 Review

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Farlands PC Review

Hello everyone today i wanna talk to you about an awesome little farming game ive been playing called Farlands but first a huge thank you to JanduSoft for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated let’s dive in.

So Farlands sees you leaving the busy city life in exchange for buying your own planet in a far away galaxy that seems to be a total dumpster fire but you make it work.

My one gripe with the game even though its simple to understand for the most part is the no tutorial at least an actual tutorial as I dont count reading pages that tell you what tools are used for as a tutorial when thats basic knowledge the game also for some reason uses the right mouse button to click into stuff and thats just weird as hell and took a bit for me to find how to make shit work because of that again a simple tutorial could have remedy that.

Now onto the game itself you have a huge piece of land a small house and a space ship all of which are important to you as the day progresses you waste energy until you need to sleep to recover the space ship lets you explore the other planets which each have there own resources you will need to progress and finally your land where you will plant seeds and progress the story all in the name of progress.

My favorite part of the game is there’s some aliens you are trying to get help from but they want you to complete a solar encyclopedia of different items in your system before they will help you as they wanna make sure your galaxy is worth there help and honestly thats my favorite part of the game its your main goal as well and trust me theres so much to find and register its a bit insane.

The game is super chill and cozy and honestly will probably mesh with players that have played games like stardew valley as thats probably the closest comparison I can come up with.

Farlands definitely has a ton of stuff to do even though it feels repetitive at times but its one of those games you can pick up play and put down and play again the one thing I wanna see added is a manual save option having to kill a day to rest just to save is a bit of a hassle all in all i definitely recommend farlands you can play on steam ps5 xbox and nintendo switch, thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

#Drive Rally

Hello everyone today i wanna talk to you about #Drive Rally but first a huge thank you to the team at Pixel Perfect Dude for sending me a review copy its greatly appreciated.

Now even though the games been put for a while on PC I was sent a copy for the PS5 and I gotta say the game played beautifully and I had a blast every minute of the way.

The game offers a few modes from online to championship to free roam now i didnt get to do online as my schedule and my buddy saviors schedule had a hard time matching up so I mainly focused on championship mode with some free roam.

In free roam its exactly that you pick a map and drive around i used this mode to get a feel for the cars as well as to find collectibles scattered around the map and I gotta say the free roam maps are massive I wasnt expecting them to be that huge.

In championship mode you pick a race team and progress through multiple races and chapters until your crowned the champion and i gotta say its also another way to unlock more cars and variety i did have some slight issues as my Co pilot for some reason always gave me the instructions for turns late but it turns out there’s a setting in the menu that lets you adjust the timing of your GPS navigation so change that before you race but even with that I did awesome on races held my own was able to compete against the computer and in general just have fun.

Drive Rally is only the second Rally game ive ever played the first being exo rally championship for pc which was also a blast but each game even though a rally game played vastly different but neither lost the fun factor and honestly now a days having fun with the games i play has become a huge factor for me.

Another thing i love a out drive rally is the art style it has this unique shaded art graphics that honestly do not hurt your eyes and even on a massive TV screen you can enjoy the game without any issues.

#Drive Rally was a roller coaster of fun from start to finish for me and i honestly cant wait to see whats added to the game so if you want an awesome racing game where you can play with friends and just have fun then pick up drive rally on pc and ps5 the game is also available on physical for all my awesome collectors out there, again thank you to the devs for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Dead or Alive 6 Last Round PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going today i bring you Dead or Alive 6 Last Round for the PS5 but first a MASSIVE thank you to the legendary Koei Tecmo for sending me a review copy it was greatly appreciated so let’s talk about it.

Now i havent played a fighting game in years so I was shocked when I got this game sent to me as a game reviewer to be recognized and given the chance by a company like Koei Tecmo is insane but that aside onto the game.

The last dead or alive game I played was the beach volleyball one for the Xbox 360 fighting games weren’t my jam since the bloody roar series died out so I went into this game as a complete noob and just enjoyed my time with it.

Now there’s a story mode not in the traditional arcade sense but a separate story that expands in a web as you progress getting a chance to experience different characters view points which all seem to end with the start of the Dead or Alive tournament.
The game has a handful of different modes from arcade to training to online mode now i admit i stayed far away from online ill leave that to the experts i admit i didnt wanna cry from the ass whooping i woulda gotten had i jumped in there, training mode is the best you get to take each character for a spin till you find the one you mesh with and when you have over 20 characters to choose from there will be meshing, and arcade is just the simple arcade battles against the computer or couch co op with your friends and family.

The game has 15 different maps for you to fight on and each map has different areas that you burst into with landing some hard hits on your opponents, there’s also a leader board now since I was on PS5 i assume the leaderboard only shows PS5 players which I feel is a missed opportunity cause theres nothing better then competition amongst players wanting to reach that top spot.

The graphics were actually nice between cinematic takes and fight scenes there was never a change it looked beautiful the whole way. I dont know if the game offers crossplay between consoles and pc which it might not some would probably say pc would have an advantage over consoles but thats just my 2 cents.

I didnt have any issues during my play time the game played solid combat was fluid and fun and the story was interesting to watch and play through I didnt experience stutters or delays which in fighting games is important online could be another story but I didnt jump online just local single player.

The only negative thing I can say is this game has a ton of micro transactions in the form of costumes for the characters which isnt a huge deal but prices are a bit on the expensive side for my taste.

All in all I enjoyed my time with dead or alive 6 last round and I hope to work with koei tecmo again in the future again huge thank you for sending me a review copy i greatly appreciate it I hope you all have a good time 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

Bellwright

NBA The RUN

Hey everyone today i wanna talk to you about NBA the run but first a huge shout out to the devs over at play by play studios for sending me a key its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in

Nba the run the game dubbed the spiritual successor to the NBA street series as someone who grew up with the street series games from NBA to nfl to fifa those were some of the best sports games growing up I wasnt huge into the madden games or any of the official titles the street series were the best from trick plays to being on fire mode so when NBA the run landed on my radar with that title I knew i had to check it out for myself.

Now the game is strictly online only its available on PS5, Xbox and Steam for pc, now the game is online only no single player mode no story nothing to give you a bit of relaxation when you dont wanna play against other players thats a let down as back then those games were just single player and couch versus.

The game thankfully doesn’t have a cash op store where real money is used everything in the game so far is earned by grinding out levels and in game currency which is a huge win cause this game could easily fall pray to real money schemes and I dont wanna see that happen I would be fine with paid dlc like legendary NBA players but thats my 2 cents.

Now the game is fun even being online only but sadly your gonna have the issue that comes along with every sports game where team work is required you will have people that dont pass and will keep the ball until they score or lose it and trust me ive had my fair share of players like this but ive also come across some great team mates as well.

The game is crossplay so console and pc players can play together but in my whole time playing I didnt see any Xbox players idk if its a glitch or Xbox doesn’t wanna play with the rest of us but yeah I didnt see any Xbox players.

The only other big issue I have with the game is stamina drains very fast and recovers slow but maybe thats just a skill issue on my part need more play time to judge lol.

The game has a great line up of players currently in the NBA as well as some characters that I dont know where there from but I am hoping to see an expansion of the roster the courts all look amazing having some iconic locations from new york to L.A and even some world wide spots I hope to see more new locations added down the road.

I played on the PS5 and I didnt have any issues the game ran great felt great on controller and is easy to learn but hard to master I cant wait to see what the devs have instore for future updates thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
