Orwell Keeping an eye on you Nintendo Switch version

First off huge thanks to osmotic studios for sending me the game its greatly appreciated so let’s uh dive in shall we.

So the game is called orwell keeping an eye on you, its a political sim but man some of it feels like this shit is going on in real life and its the first game ive played were its left me feeling like what the actual fuck did I play.

So you start out by making your character your called the Investigator you control the narrative of the story and basically guide everything that happens to an extent.

You see the point of orwell is its a surveillance program that monitors bits and pieces of information to make a profile about you and judge if your dangerous or not and that in itself is the biggest flaw as it runs on bits of info not massive chunks you could say something out of anger and rage and boom the program now considers you a threat and puts you on a watch list.
The game opens up with an explosion at a plaza and a women getting onto a bus and this is where we start your advisor talks you through the basic what to gather how to make a profile a detective your making your profiles and cases and you start adding info and it adds up to the bigger picture soon your singular profile turns into something else a bigger threat more people involved its a slippery slope that spirals fast and this program only gets worse as you progress in the story.

You see now that you have 1 or 2 profiles going you start invading there privacy there public profiles there blogs eventually there emails and texts messages until your literally going through there computers checking there bank statements and job history you see orwell sees everything and finds what it needs to make the case against you even bigger but the flaw lays in the Investigator you see you the player adds the data the advisor tells you more info about it if its useful or to watch it if its shit so the whole time this investigation isnt being done by a full team no to avoid any issues its all down to 2 people the advisor and you the player.

Orwell evolves as you go and the story of this game honestly is insane and one i can say you must experience for yourself and the way this game pushes so close to something that could probably be real is just unreal.

Orwell keeping an eye on you is an episodic adventure of 5 episodes to progress through getting deeper and crazier as you progress not once did I ever fully grasp the drama that I was creating everything you experience feels real the devs did an amazing job with drawing you in and not letting you go until the end and all I can say is holy fuck what a game truly one that needs to be experienced as my words dont do it justice I played on the nintendo switch this game felt perfect for it and i cant wait to see what the devs have in store for us next. Thank you for stopping by 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.

Romancing Saga Minstrel Song Remastered International

A game that calls itself an rpg but in what sense let’s talk about it.

First I wanna thank red art games and square Enix for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

When you think of rpg’s you think of xp grinds lots of missions levels and items to get you through and thats what I thought of when I received this game but boy was I wrong. Theres 8 characters so I thought awesome 8 different views to experience so my first pick was a character called Gray I started out talked to people learned the basics from a kid that has tons of info then left the area into the wide open world to do a mission this was my first red flag as once I loaded in I find dinosaurs in front of me im like ok let’s do this I attack then they hit me and boom I get one shotted im like ok must be a fluke try again and nope I get one shotted so I figure im to weak and need to avoid them boy was I wrong as the npcs are so fast you cant run away I played a good hour in the same area before I raged quit and started over.

Next character was sif a female warrior who had the most hp and a variety of weapons she starts out in a frozen tundra first mission is clear out the caves from monsters running a muk in the area ok no problem I leave the village and make my way into the world find monsters in the way I fight them there manageable so I make it pass until I get to the first boss in the first cave I visit we start the fight I hit him he hits me and boom red flag number 2 as im once again one shotted I give it another 2 tries same outcome at this point I take a break and message my friend about my dilemma he was also sent a key.

And this is where the game starts to ruin you as my friend tells me that out of the 8 characters only 2 are begginer friendly so of course I have to restart for a 3rd time by this point the games already left a sour taste in my mouth but I proceed as I really wanted to experience the game so the character I pick is Albert literally the weakest health points wise so his story starts I explore a bit then find my first mission with my sister and guards we manage it no problem I learn more of the combat system and see that your stats increase during combat progression so im like cool this I can manage but boy am I wrong.

You see in a traditional rpg game you are rewarded for grinding you level up its how you learn new spells and attacks so I put that knowledge into this game and start grinding a bit when I come across monsters that are in my way but here’s where the game screws you over again you see the game has a mechanic called the event rank. And that ladies and gentlemen is the biggest middle finger this game gives you you see the game wants you to strictly follow the story and keep exploring and monster hunting to a very small minimum if you fill that event rank to much the monsters you find start getting stronger and stronger and then your shit outta luck as you start to struggle again. Now you would think no problem let me go to a store and buy new spells and weapons maybe some armor but nope red flag number 4 pops up everything is super expensive and you earn peanuts from monsters you vanquish. So now all traditional rpg sense is out the window what kinda game is this even the souls games let you grind for levels and money without any consequences so what do you do? Well I kept pushing and raging and little by little ive progressed the story and I gotta say this game is absolutely not for me I dont know who designs an rpg that punishes the players but this shouldn’t be allowed to use that title this game will be for a very niche crowd which saddens me as I really wanted to experience it and enjoy it the code they sent me was for the nintendo switch version and the game fits perfectly on it ive had no issues that might happen with other titles but sadly this game just isnt for me I hope they find there crowd but I cannot in good faith recommend this game it is to difficult and after a while feels more like a chore then an actual game.

I hope there able to find there crowd it plays wonderfully on the switch and could be a great handheld experience but thats all for now thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Dark Quest 4

First off I wanna thank brain seal for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated now let’s talk about dark quest 4.

Tho my time has been brief I have learned a lot from the game, it feels like a classic d&d vibe as you progress around the map with your pieces as the dungeon master looms over you watching your every move, there’s treasures and traps and a skull that helps and hates you but the game has its moments.

So the game throws you into the intro mission where you discover your first 3 characters you explore the dungeon until your able to make your way out thus starting your journey to destroy the big bad guy. At base camp you sit around a camp fire with 5 npcs around you all waiting to help you during your journey from a trainer to a merchant an alchemist to a blacksmith each npc offers a different form of help for your journey and that help comes in the form of quick play cards that you can use in combat from healing to damage to a bit of everything in between.
The journey is divided into tiles on a map that you must progress through in order to reach the end and save the world but the game wont make it easy even with me moving the difficulty sliders around I had a hard time surviving my journeys and would lose 1 of my companions making the rest of my journey that much harder.

The enemies dont play around the undead hordes want you gone and they will make sure your gone if possible the zombie chickens are the worse cause if they surround you then they will screw your run up so fast its not even funny.

Dark quest 4 gives off old school game nights with it playing like a board game its fun the combat is easy to learn and there is no learning curve everything is right there simple and easy to learn and play the game is fun in its own ways.

I played on the nintendo switch I didnt have any issues and the game felt right at home even in hand held mode so if your looking for some nostalgic feels then dark quest 4 is it I give this game a solid 6/10 thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Detective Dotson

Detective Dotson follows Dotson as he trys to find out what happened to his father as he gives up his dreams of bollywood to solve this mystery so you take up smaller cases in order to get the bigger picture.

So you play a detective finding clues talking to people buying stuff you need in order to get people to talk to you and so forth, as you gather clues to each case you have a case board where everything goes into place and there is where you the player puts each clue into its spot the game does offer you hints if you need help but its fun trying to do things without hints.

The game is fun and very simple its only 4 cases long so far but they do take time to find and figure out so you wont be finishing this game in an hour or 2, I love the fact its in India and has beautiful scenery as you explore, the game has a mini item finder game where you can win money which is the only way to can get money it also has a 3 chance bater system in order to save some money and get better prices but watch it you can make them mad if you try to offer to little.

All in all detective dotson is a sweet little indy I played it on the nintendo switch and it ran beautifully so stutters or lag no issues at all if you like solving puzzles and mysteries then this game is for you and I highly recommend it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Reus 2

Reus 2 the city builder were you are a god and control elemental giants to help your planet grow and flourish let’s talk about it.

First i wanna thank Abbey Games and Firesquid for sending me a copy of this game to check out i greatly appreciated it.

So in reus your god the game starts you out with a tutorial to teach you the ropes but I played on the switch so it was definitely a bit of a work out to figure everything out even with the tutorial. So you start in space and select create a planet from there you choose 3 giants to help you out from 6 total. At the start you get a forest water and rock giant and they are what build each biome and everything in it. You start with a group of nomads and place your first area either a lush forest or a harsh desert then off they go they slowly build and evolve as time goes on then similar to civilization you pick deities to help further your progression as well as unlock a new town in total so far you max out at 3 towns and you help complete missions to get them through the ages.

You only control the giants sadly so you have no control what happens and trust me things will happen so far I’ve seen my people attack one another over selfish motives such as a better castle, each smaller deity has missions for you thats how you progress and there not easy if you dont manage to finish they get upset and angry at the giants. The giants play a crucial role in everything they create the biomes along with the trees and animals the special stones and irons you find in a desert but they can also attack the cities if you want them to which I did when one city attacked the other for no reason I showed no mercy sadly they will just rebuild and get angry at the giants even tho it wasnt the giants fault.

Ive been playing on the switch and the controls were confusing at first but after some play time I started getting the hang of it the one area where they completely failed to integrate which woulda worked wonders for this game is the touch screen there’s no support and thats a let down as the touch screen coulda been a huge help for selecting things and placing them but maybe further down the road one can hope.

They also dropped a new dlc for the game called ice age where it adds a frozen tundra biome to the game i haven’t gotten that far so I cant talk about it but im sure it adds levels of difficulty to the game.

Reus 2 has so much to offer and to do and is a fun game to play if you wanna pass time and just watch the game play itself I recommend it if your a fan of sim style games its available on steam and switch i am not sure about the other consoles.

Again I wanna thank the devs for sending me a copy to check out and wish them nothing but the best I hope you enjoyed thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Pokemon Scarlet

Hello everyone today i wanna talk about nintendos newest addition to the pokemon family pokemon scarlet version, i also wanna apologize for not being so active life has me in a rough spot but lets continue shall we.

Pokemon Scarlet brings with it the first ever truly open world experience of all the games many will say pokemon arceus is open world as well but its not since you have to choose between areas, but anyways this open world is truly beautiful has many regions and sites to see and personally i feel nintendo out did themselves and i cant wait for what they have instore for the future.

Now to fill up the massive open world nintendo did something new and made 3 story quest that you can interact with at your discretion as well as explore the massive world anyway you want but in part thats not true you see the game doesnt scale with you as you explore the game has pre set levels so watch out when your exploring you might end up in the wrong area and face some over powered pokemon.

The first story which is the same for all games is the champion arc where you go around battling gym after gym collecting badges in hopes of facing the elite 4 champion and taking the title for yourself and the best part of this just like in sword and shield your acknowledged as champion which in my opinion is awesome and makes your journey worthwhile.

The second arc is the titan quest which has you exploring the regions fighting giant pokemon wondering whats causing this insane change in them and i gotta say its awesome they feel like raid battles and give you a great challenge of endurance to see if you can take hits this story is closer to the main story of the game and is very worthwhile as its filled with just the right emotions.

The last arc is the operation star arc which has you finding these rebel bases of students who are rebeling against the school your job is to find out why and hopefully put a stop to it and get the students back in class this arc also has great emotional attachment to it and really shines on the issues of real world students.

The game has so much to offer and has such a great story that all i can say it great job game freak and nintendo you guys have really hit a home run.

Now the game has gotten much negativity for glitches and bugs but people forget every game has issues and this is nintendos first jump into doing this with pokemon so cut them some slack the game is great i had 1 issue and that was mainly because of where the game put me in a pokemon encounter which forced me into the map but other then that i was able to explore and play with no issues.

If your a pokemon fan and havent played the new games yet please do it there amazing and have much to offer and definitely show nintendo is evolving our world of pokemon for the better i loved every minute of it and can not wait to see whats next for the scarlet and violet games thank you all for your time and game on.

Pokemon Sword final thoughts

So finally after weeks of taking it slow so I could get the maximum enjoyment out of the game I have finished Pokemon sword today on April 26 and here before you are my thoughts on the game let’s dive in.

The story

So unlike the games before it Nintendo really went full tilt with this game and giving it what I call truly an amazing story from start to finish with such an amazing lore behind it leaving you wanting more information on the hablar regions history and the events of its shrouded past.

Like before you start off with your custom character as you set out to explore the world and meet your best friend who also happens to be your rival during the game Hop, I gotta say I love what Nintendo did with hop the personality he was giving during all parts of the game and the struggles of being a trainer you see a lot of it in him but I feel Nintendo made him a bit to weak to really give you that rival feel in all this.

So the galar region is beautiful some new Pokemon to catch many old ones as well as a few with special regional forms that honestly are pretty bad ass the total in the Pokedex is 400 before the dlc which I’m sure that number will only grow once the add ons are released. Like hoenn region which was famous for mega evolutions the galar region is famous for a mysterious Pokemon phenomenon called dynamax where the Pokemon grows massive in size and power all through the special effects of a wishing star, now I won’t get to much into that because I don’t wanna spoil the game for anyone who hasn’t played it but man is it fun.

The Gym Challenge

Unlike previous games where you got your Pokemon from the professor and set out to catch em all as well as challenge the gyms and the elite for this game did it differently and I loved it because it game the game much needed life.

So I’m sword and shield hop’s older brother Leon who is the galar region champion is the on who gives you your starter Pokemon I won’t say anything else cause I want people to see the little mystery the devs through into the game at this scene but it’s a good one. So after he lets you pick your starter hop talks about taking the gym challenge except in this game you can’t just go to a gym and fight no you see in this game they made the gym battles an actual competition and to enter you have to be endorsed by someone important and thankfully someone super important finally gives you your letter of endorsment making you 1 of 2 trainers to watch out for can you guess the other lol.

As well as such an awesome gym set up the badge it pretty awesome as it takes the form of a circular coin with a beautiful design both on the front and back.

The world

Now for me what really made me take it slow and enjoy every second of this game was the world and the NPC’s around you, you see here is where Nintendo went all out on the Pokemon side of things they took the unique aspect from Pokemon let’s go Eevee and Pikachu where you could see the Pokemon walking through the grass and paths and that was really an amazing aspect and they took that made it a million times better in sword and shield there was times I really felt like I was a Pokemon trainer journeying the region exploring every aspect of it.

But that’s not all they also took the raid system from Pokemon go made it more manageable for a limited crowd and gave us dynamax raids which I loved even more getting a chance to build your party with specific Pokemon or finding specific types it was awesome.

Final thoughts

All in all I don’t know what the hell people complained about Nintendo gave us what we wanted Pokemon on a console which is what everyone always wanted a console Pokemon that wasn’t a ds version. I personally can’t wait to see what else Nintendo has in store for us and I truly loved every minute of Pokemon sword and I highly recommend everyone who is a fan of the series and has a Nintendo switch please buy the game it’s worth it.

Thank you all be safe take care and game on!

Pokemon Sword

Yes I know I’m late to the party on this one but it took me a while to be able to afford another nintendo switch but better late then never.

I just wanna say finally we can play pokemon on the tv, unless you count the old school super nintendo adapter that existed when pokemon red and blue were a thing.

So I’ve been taken it slow in the game just enjoying the detail they put into the game and man I love it so much it’s an amazing game seeing the pokemon walking by you as you journey really makes you feel like an actual pokemon trainer and not someone who is playing a game, and the story man so much mystery behind it I cant wait to find out more about the legends of galar. As for my challenger journey I have 6 of the 8 badges and I gotta say I love that the gym leaders actually give you a bit of a challenge unlike previous games.

And onto the fun thing in sword and shield gigantamax which in turn is just making your pokemon the size of godzilla huge pokemon battles with powerful attacks these battles are amazing but all that aside my favorite thing in the whole game is something they borrowed from pokemon go, the raids, yes 4 man raids against gigantamax pokemon it’s so epic sadly you only get 1 chance to catch the pokemon and that sucks as I’ve missed out on 2 bulbasaur.

So far I am loving every bit of the game and I cant wait to finish it and see what the end game brings along with completing the pokedex made up of 400 pokemon not a bad number in my opinion. I will keep you posted as my journey continues theres so much more to discuss have a great day stay safe and game on
