Nba The RUN 2000’s Legends DLC

Hello everyone hows it going its been a while since we talked about NBA The run but today we talk about it well the dlc they just released actually but first a huge thank you to Play by Play for sending me a code to check out the dlc its greatly appreciated.

So there were a few changes added to the game with this dlc trophies are no longer the podium win you now get belts you know wrestling style champion belts and honestly i like it I think the belts go harder then a trophie.

Theres still a decent amount of players playing as well i didnt have any issues finding games but i do wish they would penalize players for leaving mid game just cause your losing.

Now the biggest thing this dlc adds is 5 super stars from the 2000’s era and if anyone watched basketball growing up you know these players are iconic there Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady and Dirk Nowitzki some huge names and this makes me excited at future prospects for the game giving the fact that the era of basketball is grew up with had so many great legends I do hope to see Jordan added to the game maybe even Kobe if there able to this game has so much potential and I cant wait for the future of it.

One issue I do have with the game is the camera changes there’s different views for cameras and honestly there annoying as fuck specially when i go into the settings at the main menu set the angle I like and when i go to play i have to change the angle again devs figure this shit out please the old play style was a million times better

The dlc is sitting at 10 bucks which isnt a bad price and its available on PS5, Xbox and steam im hyped to see whats next for the game and im looking forward to it again thanks to the devs for letting me check out the dlc thank you all take care and game on

Train Sim World 7 PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Train Sim World 7 and my experience with it but first I would like to thank Dovetail Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

So if you know me im a huge fan of sim games I have a decent collection of them and my all time favorites are games that let me drive Euro Truck sim 2 and American truck sim by SCS are 2 of my biggest sim games so im not scared to sink hours into them so train Sim World 7 is my first game ever in the train genre and honestly i wasnt sure what to expect you see train movies and they look so cool so I wasnt sure how that would translate and well honestly I was a bit let down.

To start the game first off the menu is confusing as hell there’s no clear distinction of this is free play or this could be story mode none of that it took me a bit of searching before finally finding the tutorial already off to a bad start simpler terminology could really help here and the menu doesnt do the game any justice.

So i launched the tutorial and I gotta say its one of the most well designed walk throughs ive had the pleasure of experiencing you see the train World is so vast that the tutorial is broken down into small chapters I think it consist of 16 might be a bit more I dont know after chapter 11 I got bored as shit and went looking for free play, but back to the tutorial it walks you through everything with precise detail and yes some of the controls could be done with simple button presses you can also move the camera to the object in question and long hold for more options for the game the tutorial also had visual indicators of hey press this to continue so it really made me wonder if they could spend hours designing such an intuitive tutorial why the fuck couldn’t they make the menu easier to understand yes I get it im not a train person so forgive me but many new players that wanna try these games cause there designed to be casual will easily get pissed at a complex menu and quit the game.
Free play was another area where to get things started was a drag as well cause once you manage to pick the route you wanna play you gotta learn about the train thats designated for that route and then after you get to finally play which I get it you want people to learn but people also just wanna jump right in sometimes. I did notice some issues after I got going on my route I only had control of stop and go and the horn I didnt have the ability to press anything else during my run so I dont know if thats by design or a bug but it was a bit annoying.

Now onto the gameplay driving a train honestly felt lack luster but then again I wasnt sure what to really expect for my first time the scenery was amazing I was driving through Florida and honestly it made me wish I was there.

Visually this game is a 10 outta 10 and im sure with more time ill enjoy the game but theres a few thing that just dont make it for me and one is the pricing of add ons and dlc some of these maps go for 40 dollars and im sorry thats just insane please explain to me why your charging so much for maybe 40 miles or track when other companies are giving entire states and countries for a fraction of your cost.

If you have a history of train games this is for you but if your more a casual looking for something fun pass this up the game gets expensive and fast thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Kernel Hearts PS5 Review

Hello everyone today i would like to talk to you about Kernel Hearts, but first a huge thank you to Whitethorn Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

What is Kernel Hearts its an action rougelite with super powered andriod magical girls now if you’ve followed me for a while you know I love rougelites so I went into this game expecting a challenge but holy shit did this game defeat me and just crush me into the ground.

So the world is ending a mysterious tower sits outside the last vestige of humanity and its your job to get in there and find your way to the top to claim victory but sadly this game has proven to much for me I sadly couldn’t even beat the first level, this game adds a danger meter similar to risk of rain but everything is just hard from the start there’s stones that give you health and orbs that act as currency to help you upgrade skills along the way then after you think your ready you find a mysterious figure that telephones you to the boss room where the boss is on a small platform surrounded by smaller versions of himself that do everything they can to kick your ass.

I have done over 10 runs and I cant for the life of me beat level 1 which is supposed to be the easiest of them all I can only imagine how hard the rest of the levels are.

The game offers co op but sadly its not in the traditional sense where you can join a random lobby and progress you have to make your own lobby and hope your friends have the game so you can invite them which sadly I dont have any that play this game.

Whitethorn games definitely have a great game on hand and I wouldnt change anything except maybe make multiplayer searchable instead of needing to give out codes to join that aside Kernel hearts has become the first game to really kick my ass I look forward to see what they add to it thank ypu for stopping by take care and game on

Halloween The Game

Hey everyone hows it going, today i wanna talk to you about Halloween… the game not the holiday lol but first a huge thank you to illfonic for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated.

The game is based hugely around the multiplayer aspect of the game but the game does offer a small story mode made up of 6 chapters that teach you how to play as the iconic legendary killer Michael Myers. The story opens up with the prologue where a massive rainstorm is battering the area near the asylum where Myers is being kept along with himself some inmates are outside as 2 of the workers try to get everyone back in Myers grabs the closest one using him to break down the fence and escape this is where the game gives you the first chance to experience him as pop ups tell you whats going on and how to play you move to escape killing other workers along the way finally reaching the end of the level the doctor responsible for putting you there shows up after some more walking you manage to steal his car and escape for good and that is where the intro chapter stops and the real story starts but if you wanna know more you will have to play the game yourself.

The multiplayer aspect will be very similar to fans of games like dead by day light and Friday the 13th where you have missions to complete in order to open up escape routes but your not alone you have civilians to save each round 3 special ones must escape for bonus points, me ive never played these style games so i was lost as fuck and died plenty which sucks cause the game is fun the map is actual decent in size and you have a lot to do even after you die there’s also different events and quick time events to help you score points for the survivors.

All in all Halloween takes a great established genre and cranks it to 11 the game is cross platform between pc and consoles and it didnt take me long to find a match which is a huge plus for online games the base game is 40 while the deluxe is 60 with some goodies for yourself which if you do story mode you can unlock even more goodies all in all if your a fan of dead by daylight this game is for you thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

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.
