Path of Exile 2

Path of exile 2 the ARPG that literally melts your brain with how much you have to think.

Path of exile 2 is the much anticipated sequel to grinding gear games path of exile this game expands on the first by having a better well thought out story the game is in early access meaning there’s stuff missing for example there’s supposed to be 12 classes to choose from but in E.A you only get 6 and like with any game where it’s focused built shit gets broken and fast some classes have already gotten nerfs and I’m sure there’s many more to come as well as there’s only 3 acts available in easy then 3 on harder difficulty and then what’s open up of end game.

I’ll talk about what I’ve played but considering there’s so much to this game I will make another post down the line when I experience more of the game in all it’s brain melting glory.

So to start off you get to choose between a warrior a ranger a monk a witch a mercenary and sorcerer the story starts as soon as u pick a character class the other classes are hung at the gallows as you jump off a castle wall into the ocean you wash ashore on an island and start your journey immediately finding a weapon and skill gem from there you explore until you come across your first boss outside the town similar to the first game depending on class you might have an easier time maybe lol.

So once in town the game picks up you do missions finding stuff learning new skills getting new gear and so on, each act has its own sub story that ties into the main plot your hunting down this terrible demon that is corrupting and killing the land so yeah you go from would be prisoner about to die to hero of the land.

The skill gems have a variety your able to use from other classes I’m currently working on a monstrosity of a monk lol the skill tree is insanely huge with lots of paths and options to take.

The second act will give you a shot at acendency which makes your character even more focused and bad ass so please do your research cause once you pick an acendency your stuck with it and will have to make a new character in order to change your choice.

This game has a lot to offer and this is just a small portion of the ice burg as there’s so much more to experience and once I have I will write another post but for now this game is a must if your a fan of ARPG games.

Marvel Rivals

Marvel rivals the overwatch game we needed.

Ok let me get it out of the way by saying yes rivals is an overwatch clone even though I haven’t played overwatch since release but it’s the exact concept.

Now the game uses the marvel ip to give us an awesome amount of characters from x-men to Ironman spiderman and guardians of the galaxy this game offers such a diverse cast that the replay ability is insane and the best part no grind to unlock new characters as there all unlocked from the get go which let’s be honest not having to grind just adds more fun factor to the game and I’m here for it. The games monetary system is strictly skins and battle pass which I’m fine with they don’t force you to buy anything and the game feels like a breath of fresh air.

Game modes are simple capture the point and escort but the maps are beautiful and there also destructive which adds to the whole hero combat system and makes it feel more realistic.

The heros are graded on a star system 1 star means pretty easy to manage 5 stars means complex and hard to learn there are so many characters that I haven’t been able to play them all.

There is a ranked mode which i will most likely stay away as these types of games always fill with toxic try hards which I hope rivals doesn’t the game is fun right now and being free to play helps it a lot.

The match making is insanely fast duh to the cross play between consoles and pc thankfully I haven’t come across any issues so I welcome everyone to play.

The game is fun and easy to pick up and play nothing special needed there also working on the first even which is a Christmas event I can’t wait to try out which brings us some new skins as well I see marvel rivals being around for a long time and I can’t wait to see what new characters they give us if you been on the fence give the game a try it’s free that’s all you need thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Mythwrecked Ambrosia Island

First I wanna thank the team over at Whitethorn games for the code to such an amazing game.

Mythwrecked ambrosia island is a wonderful game about exploration mysteries and the friends you make along the way, your journey is experienced through Alex someone just trying to enjoy a vacation on an island as she travels towards her destination a freak storm turns the sky green and shipwrecks her boat on a mysterious island, as you explore you come across doors statues great buildings and plenty else across the game.

Your tasked with finding a place to stay the night which leads you to a lighthouse on the southern part of the island as you rest the game starts to open up you find a statue that magically speaks to you her name is ora and she helps you start your journey this game uses Greek mythology as it’s bases and it’s done beautifully to the point I couldn’t stop playing.

The first person you come across is Hermes the messenger god but he’s not feeling very godly you see something happened on the island and the gods have no idea who they are or what’s going on this is where the games exploration comes into play you see Hermes will have you do some quest to earn his trust thus opening more avenues for you to explore and travel and I do mean explore and travel you meet birds who are hungry crabs who are shy and many more in between, the games main focus is exploration but it’s done in a way that you don’t get bored since your seeing a beautiful scenery around you although later on in the game is does feel a bit grindy and tedious, the in game currency is ambrosia apples which grow all over the island and thankfully they respawn after a day of rest there’s benches all over the island that let’s you both save your game and pass time which I think is sweet since you don’t have to run back to your light house to save and rest. Dealing with Hermes is a small feat after a while he gives you a key which in turn basically opens up a huge chunk of the island for you to continue exploring and meeting other islanders.

The story to this game is done nicely it doesn’t overwhelme you at any point and you can discover stuff as you go each god has a history the game doesn’t follow the traditional god hood story but the story the devs have crafted is in my opinion much more interesting and worth finding out.

Here are some key features of the game

Gods Among Us: Many Gods call Ambrosia Island home, from Ares to Athena, Hermes
to Hades. Tracking them all down is made easier with the Ambrosidex, though some
may be harder to meet than others.

● Treasure in the Sandbox: Use the radar signal on the Ambrosidex to hunt for lost godly
treasures hidden all over the island! Return them to their rightful owners to help rekindle
their memories and learn more about the island’s fate.

● Conversational Wizard: Explore the island, examine new objects and locations, and
talk to others to unlock new conversation topics. Maybe some Gods know something
that will help Alex on her adventure, but some sensitive topics may be off-limits until you
have earned their friendship.

● Even Gods Need a Friend: Experience a non-linear, emotional story about the
importance of friendship, family, and community.

I played this game as non stop as i was able to the game offers about 10 hours of game play give or take depending on how much you play the game i was able to acquire every achievement on my first playthrough which I’m greatful for, I don’t see how the game could be expanded upon for dlc but that’s just my view point I hope I am wrong and there’s a dlc or maybe another game set in a different god hood.

Mythwrecked Ambrosia Island had me hooked from start to end helping the gods find themselves and solving the mystery of the island was worth every minute I spent playing this game i can’t wait to see what the future holds for this dev team I hope they have more in store for us I loved every minute played and this game is a 10/10 from me and a must play for those who enjoy exploration and mystery solving.

Thank you all for stopping by have a wonderful day and game on.

My quiet life as a blacksmith in another world

What happens when you save a cat but it cost your life in return? That’s what happened to our main protagonist Eizo and his isekai story is truly a good read.

Well I just finished reading vol.1 of my quiet life as a blacksmith in another world… I know what a mouth full name lol I have to say the book was amazing I didn’t wanna stop reading truly a great story.

So the book follows Eizo a 40 something yearold corporate drone living life as can be he’s walking home one day and see an injured cat in the road about to be hit by a truck mustering every ounce of strength he could he runs to save the cat and he does but sadly it cost his life and thus the start to his isekai journey begins. Now I admit I was worried another isekai hope it’s good and I wasn’t disappointed at all.

The cat turns out to be a special goddess type being that saves his soul after talking for a bit they agree on a new life for our friend and off he goes to start his new life as a blacksmith, he wakes to find himself in a forest feeling disoriented he walks around a bit until he finds his home gifted to him by our goddess with everything he needs so he starts his life he finds out he has a bit of magic abilities to help him out with his work and work he does as he works on his first of many creations a small kitchen knife except this knife is god tier cutting through his test subjects like nothing so he knows he has to dumb his skills down a bit.

His life is later made better by the company of samya a beastgirl he saved in the woods from death after she was attacked by a bear they end up living together traveling to the city to sell his wares which eventually take off making him truly feel right about his craft, further into the story he’s joined by another named rike who becomes his apprentice and our story continues.

In vol.1 it’s mostly him making swords and earning a living until the near end of the book where he gets his first commission for custom swords which he does amazing, I loved every bit of the story from start to finish i couldn’t stop reading it’s a very relaxed book nothing major happens and it’s worth a read for fans of Mangas and isekais alike give this a chance I bought it on the Google playstore for 8 bucks as it’s only available in digital bummer I love physical books but give this series a chance thank you all and game on

Campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skill

This anime was so worth staying up all night and binge watching it, the anime follows mokhoda who seemed to have mistakenly gotten transported to a new world while a kingdom was trying to summon some heros for war his absurd skill… online grocery store he basically has access to a digital walmart for all his needs.

So it’s a simple anime he decides to leave the kingdom cause he’s not needed at least they gave him some starting gold he hires a group of adventures to escort him to another city and that’s where the fun begins he cooks these amazing meals for his companions not knowing that each meal he cooks provides a buff to his fellow food enjoyed along the way a massive monster comes out and greets them wanting to taste his food so in order for him and his fellows not to become the next meal he waste all his ingredients trying to feed the beast which in turn tells him I’m traveling with you keep my stomach full…or else lol this anime is really a slice of life anime the main character isn’t powerful or anything for being summoned he’s just a normal guy trying to survive after reaching the new city his journey gets even more out landish not only for his food skills but his beastly companion who happens to be a legendary nation destroying monster.

I loved every minute of the 12 episodes I watched as they get funnier and crazier as he travels trying to make a simple living as a merchant/adventurer trying to balance work life and learning about the world he lives in this anime truly sits top class in the chill category it has everything from scared mc to insane monsters lots of cooking which made me hungry everytime he cooked definitely worth a watch my explanation does it no justice but if you love chill slice of life anime this one is a must for you not once did I get bored I wanted more after each episode and the anime delivered please give it a chance have a great day and game on

Writers rush

Hey guys today we talk about writers rush a little Indie game that does a great job of making you feel like a writer let’s dive in

So the game plays like a contest you against 3 npc controlled characters fighting for a chance to advance to the next round in hopes of reaching round 7 and taking the crown.

So the game gives you a bunch of choices from settings to depth to naming the character of your story and your book, each book takes time and work you gotta do research to see what categories align with what crowd, it breaks down a lot in the game there’s computer generated plot parts and you choose the best one that fits the current setting then after your all said n done you release the book to be judge by critics and earn you a score the better you score the more you sell giving you more money to unlock new categories and sub categories you also can by new type writers which give you different bonuses but the game is literally never ending when it comes to the options you have.

The game is simple easy to learn and does a great job in making you feel like your doing a virtual book I’ve only managed to make it to round 3 as the game gets harder per level but I don’t give up I keep trying and it’s a great game to relax and kill time with writers rush is on steam for 5.99 it’s an easy game to run on any computer or laptop since it’s not a demanding title and it’s definitely worth trying out and just enjoying while you drink some coffee or hot chocolate thank you guys for stopping by have a great day and game on

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Shadow of mordor man what a game truly a great game from monolith and wb games and during the past 3 weeks I think I’ve put in 15 hours for a completion of 50% sorry but the game has way to much to find and do and honestly I was getting bored and wanted to finish the story.

So the story follows talion and celebrimbor in there journey for revenge and trying to piece there memories back. After being murdered by the black hand of sauron celebrimbor attaches his soul self to talion and they journey through mordor for answers.

The game has you doing a bit of everything from finding forgotten treasure to hunting caragors there’s even an appearance by gollum in it. The story itself is simple go here start quest go there kill orcs or destroy this gain new power here, it’s a great rpg with an ability tree as well as a power up system for your weapons you get 3 a sword a bow and a dagger all really cool with there own secrets but all that is nothing compared to what makes this game truly amazing and that’s the nemesis system.

The nemesis system monoliths and wb games baby a system that gives the npc characters a brain and almost will of there own you see the orcs in the game evolve and get stronger either by killing each other or killing you the player and it’s this system that provides hours of orc killing goodness and keeps your busy as you progress for no matter how good you are you will die by there hand and they will get a rank up thanks to this system I know shadow of war probably made greater use of this system but with shadow of mordor being the start it’s a great system and one I hope they rent out and let others have a chance with it.

I’m sorry I know this review isn’t the greatest I’ve been away from this blog for a while and I gotta get my briches going again and doing better, now about the game if you have never played shadow of mordor please give it a chance it’s a great game solid story but the nemesis system is where the game shines there’s lots to do in the game for those hard-core completionist I can’t wait to see how that system grew in the sequel but thank you all have a great day and game on

Godzilla Minus One

So I watched the new godzilla minus one film and honestly I thought it was ok for the most part even tho it did have it’s moments let’s get into it.

So the movie follows main character shikishima who was a kamikaze pilot in the war who got scared and basically ran he stops on an island of mechanics who check out his plane there he encounters godzilla for the first time not even fully grown maybe bigger then a 2 storie building godzilla proceeds to kill all except for shikishima and 1 other who manages to survive.

Fast forward a bit and our friend is back in Japan trying to rebuild his life things are rough for him he meets a girl who was displaced during the war her along with a baby end up moving into our main characters home where he finds a job aboard a vessel finding old water mines bringing them to the surface and detonating them this is where the others see godzilla for the first time and the movie picks up.
Japan is left to fend for itself no one offers help as hostilities from world War 2 are still being felt around the world by this time godzilla is full grown and a beast to contend with when you don’t have proper vessels to use.

I feel for the time setting of things they didn’t go all out with godzilla but that’s just my opinion the special effects were awesome and left me wanting more and other then a few parts where our godzilla looked fake they did an amazing job making him seem as real as possible.

I for one am happy to have seen the movie and enjoyed watching it with my son if your an avid godzilla fan and I mean the old school films then please watch the movie it’s on netflix for now thank you all for stopping by have a nice day and game on

How do they hold up episode 1: Dragon Ball Super Broly

Hey everyone I’m back with the first entry for my fellow anime fans our first entry is the awesome dragon ball super broly

Now if your a fan of dragon ball then you will see this is just a remake of the dragon ball z legendary super saiyan movie but set in the super universe now no hate but I just dislike that it feels the first movie was pointless.

So in this movie it’s set after the tournament of power goku and vegeta are training and freezas is scheming as always some of freezas people find broly and his dad bring him back and that’s when the movie starts picking up and getting good broly is still a puppet to his father’s way who trust me doesn’t win any awards bastard he is, and freeza plans on using them both nothing new.

Plot aside the fighting is where the movie shines first up vegeta who starts out normal good fight everything is going good until his inpatients gets in the way boom super saiyan fight gets better but broly is learning as he fights and is keeping up kicking ass time to turn up vegeta goes super saiyan god red starts kicking ass but brolys anger is just maxing him non stop in comes goku to take over goku is holding his own powers up as well reaches saiyan red and gets destroyed by this time broly is losing it which just like in the original movie is bad ass great work keeping so close to the first movie, but here’s where is goes south broly has lost it and wants to rampage goku n vegeta manage to pawn him off on freeza so they can rest and recover it’s a joy seeing broly manhandle freeza after what freeza did so we have golden form versus broly super saiyan and boy what a fight watching freeza get tossed around like last weeks lunch is hilarious and worth every second.

Boom round 2 vegeta and goku are back fusioned up as gogeta while they start fighting the same 2 henchman of freeza are using the dragon balls to summon shenron moments later wish granted all is well brolys new friends escape for there lives freeza is put into his place and the movies climax comes to a close.

The movie did an amazing job keeping the best of the original movie but made it better by making sure broly isn’t kept as a mindless tool the movie ends with goku finding broly and helping him telling him he will be back to help him learn I truly wish we could see what becomes of broly but I’m not sure how much sensai toriyama had completed before his passing if your an anime fan and haven’t seen this movie give it a chance it’s worth the watch and is enjoyable for the action.

Thank you all these will get better as I go on take care and game on.

One more dungeon 2

So I’ve been trying to play this dungeon crawler and it’s not a bad game for what it’s trying to be but it’s obvious it still needs work.

Your a prisoner in a slug kingdom and in order to win your freedom you must conquer the maze which doesn’t seem bad right pretty simple rules beat the maze find the boss kill it and your free right it’s what I thought until I started playing.

You start in a jail cell you get to explore the area a bit you see the slug king his guards and some other small areas but there’s no indicators telling you much of anything there’s a priest near a donation box that does… you guessed it nothing then just passed him is a statue room with 7 pedestals all empty but one when you approach it seems to be you the player your looking at a statue of yourself which seems pretty cool so onto the maze then.

The maze is randomly generated which I’m assuming is to try and produce more playtime and different runs which to me is a massive plus a different run each time is better then repeating the same stage over and over you get to explore new rooms long hallways different doors and portals all of which offer something the basic 3 monsters you find are a giant rat a flying bat and different skeletal solders not bad a bit of variety until you fight them and realize they take your 35 points of life down in 3 hits but you would think basic combat would be good I mean you start with a sword and staff but the biggest issue with the game you find the minute you start moving the camera sucks it’s trash compared to other games indy included it’s so clunky that to get any movement you gotta move the right thumb stick over completely there’s no light movements at all and that makes combat even worse there’s no lock on system just free movement which would be fine if you could increase movement speed but you can’t it makes everything so infuriating that you lose interest immediately, the game itself it’s premise the art style it’s all good but it feels they invested more time with looks then getting the movement down at its current stage you do yourself more harm trying to play then waiting for a fix I hope they can fix it I would love to go back and play more but sadly movement is something I won’t compromise on I do thank ratalaika games for sending me the key but please go back and spend sometime on making the movement smoother add some control sliders something

Thank you all for your time and game on
