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.

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.

1666 Amsterdam

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about 1666 Amsterdam I know what a name but first a massive thank you to Panache Digital Games for sending me a key to explore and sink some time into 1666 so lets talk about it shall we.

I admit i wasnt sure what to expect from this game going in but I must say the devs have crafted a cinematic masterpiece cause in some ways it feels almost like a movie then an actual game everything from visuals to small details just leaves you stunned.

The game follows Noa a collector of magic and follows her journey through 1666 as she journeys to complete her job in order to save the world joined by her cat companion who has there own mystery for you to find out this game does amazing bringing to life the pass of what coulda been depending on your beliefs of course.

I did have some small issues with the game the combat was a bit of a hassle even when I dodged i got hit and you only spam the right trigger nothing else no combat spells that directly affect the target which was a bit of a let down another issue i had was controlling the cat i would sometimes get stuck on areas im allowed to jump to i feel the cat controls could use more polish it felt a bit all over the place.

This game is in early access and the devs themselves have stated early access will be used with help from the community to give better life to the game and i feel thats smart as a dev I feel you miss stuff but players might actually find things that need work and thats what gamers should remember everything good takes time.

Again thanks to the devs for sending me a key its greatly appreciated check out 1666 Amsterdam if you want an amazing story and beautiful visuals thank you 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.

Orc Incremental

Hello everyone hows it going today we are talking about one of the most fun auto battler ive played in a long time but first a massive shout out and thank you to Playsaurus for sending me out a key to check out the game lets dive in.

Now whats an auto battler in simple terms the computer controls your faction in battle you get to choose the formation and abilities but the computer does the rest ive played a few of these games but always got bored of them but this is the first one that ive had fun with the whole time i was playing it.

Now the games called Orc Incremental you control and orc army as you fight against the humans in hopes of taking over the world now the game only let’s you do a few things you can upgrade your units, unlock new stores, summon more units to add to your army or my absolute favorite throw fireballs at the humans and trust me they deserve it stingy humans trying to control everything love live our orc brethren.

The game works simple the round starts you kill and survive and earn money to use in the stores for upgrades or get more units or if you lose the round starts over again until you win and move on every 10 levels you encounter a boss which is ment to test how well your set up is doing so far and if your doing enough numbers for damage and trust me I hated the boss battles but I was thankful they were there as they showed me hey you need some work so then what do you do easy you can go back to any previous level you completed and earn more money for upgrades and i did this a few times i would go back to lvl 1 and run through everything just to gain more coins.

But what do you do when thats not enough? Well the game has a mechanic called Dark Rebirth which gives you points to use on permanent upgrades and then its off to war again. The rebirth grid is massive honestly if reminds me of the sphere grid on final fantasy X just massive so you know this game has a lot for you to fight with such a grid.
Here’s a little section right from the devs.

Main Features
• Build and scale an orc armyfrom a single grunt into a full warband
• Draft units and totemswith different rarities, roles, and synergies
• Set formations and optimize army compositionto break through progression walls
• Support battles with active spellssuch as Blizzard and Fireball
• Use Dark Rebirth to reset runs forpermanent progression bonuses
• Unlock new units, challenges, and chieftainchoices that change each run
• Benefit from offline progressand return to accumulated resources
• Face milestone bossesthat test build quality and tactical planning

This game has so much depth that honestly i wish I could control one of the fighters just to get more immersion but being the god of these orcs is enough I cant wait to see what the devs have in store for the game and what units you discover as you progress im exited this game is perfect to just sit back with some friends on discord and talk while your army goes on a warpath thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Hell Let Loose Vietnam

So what is hell let loose its a military sim game focused on realism and playing as a squad working with your team mates to capture objectives and this iteration takes us to the jungles of vietnam but first a huge thank you to Team 17 for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about it a bit.

Now as an avid FPS gamer most of my games have been battlefield with a dab in counter strike and rainbow 6 siege I did try the original hell let loose but since I didnt have people to play with it was difficult for me to learn the game so when I got sent vietnam I said let’s give it another go and these are my thoughts.

First off i know im blind as fuck but how can the enemy team see me from hundreds of meters away kill me instantly when im still in a city I get it they want realism but its insane when you cant even tell where the enemy is or where your getting shot from I know I know realism. Yes I suck I admit that and even with taking my time and trying to learn the games vibes I was getting my ass handed to me and im sorry but I play games for fun not to be pissed off if I wanna rage and quit ill go play a souls game.

The game does have an extensive tutorial which helps out players like me who are complete noobs but it doesnt give you better eyes sadly so your stuck suffering.

The few games I played i did get lucky with a few kills but I was mostly dying past the point of frustration I can definitely say hell let loose vietnam is not for me but for fans of military Sims please give it a chance you might have better luck then me.

Graphics wise everything looks amazing for a game and im surprised how well the game performs and runs with so many players on the field at once the devs behind this truly know what there doing.

All in all if you want realism here you go the game is solid but definitely not for me i appreciate the devs hooking me up with a copy theres a road map on there steam page thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Swordcery

What do you get when you take swords you add more swords then even more swords and multiply that by a billion you get swordcery the ultimate sword rougelite adventure but first i wanna give a huge thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

Swordcery is an action rougelite with a heavy focus on swords of all styles shorts swords great swords duel swords rapiers and so on this game is the borderlands of swords and the name fits when you start discovering just how many swords you get to find and use during your runs.

So whats this game about well a giant sword drops out of the sky impaling itself into a mountain and then the world itself cause a catastrophic event and then the game begins.

So the game uses procedural generation for its world’s so not every forest level you start with is the same and trust me ive started out with quite a few since you know you die a lot each level is broken down into rooms that you clear and then choose a path to proceed each room has a different reward some offer relics others coins my favorite are the sword rooms cause you dont know what awesome sword you will get or what rarity as well.

Each level ends when you beat the boss and so far the forest boss is a hard fucker indeed as his attacks hit hard compare to the damage you do think dark souls but top down style.

Now this is a pc game but thankfully it lets you play with a controller which I highly recommend you use one since its easier to play with one in my opinion as the mouse and keyboard felt a bit complicated for my taste.

The game is fun it reminds me of games like returnal in the sense where you get one life and gotta complete the game in one life this adds a big challenge but eventually you do unlock and discover other stuff that helps you along the way i made it almost to the 4th world before i died but the swords I got to use the enemies I faced and the levels I visited all were amazing and so well done these devs really made an amazing game and i cant wait to see what gets added to the game down the road.

Swordcery is available on steam for 17.99 its not a demanding game so plenty of people will get to play it, again thank you to Temple Door Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated have a great day and game on.

Box Knight

What happens when your 9 to 5 finally sucks your soul out and leaves u a husk of your former self transforming you into a monster meant to slave away till the end of time well thats Box Knight and its insane fight against corporate corruption but first i wanna send a huge thank you to We Made A Thing Studios for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated so let’s talk about Box Knight.

So your corporate job has fallen taken over and transformed by the evil corruption and its up to you the Box Knight to bring balance to work again so get ready to journey across different levels fighting an insane variety of monsters and some bosses that would make Sauron proud.

First off this game literally looks like lord of the rings was a inspiration for all the low level goblins and all there abilities and tactics they use but thats just my opinion but the game does have a big variety of monsters and I love that everytime you meet a new mob a screen pops up telling you about them what they do and how to combat them sorta like a pokedex but for monsters and i think thats cool as hell and love that feature of the game.

So as I said every monster has its own gimmick I guess one mob I encountered that I instantly hated was the supervisors they summon more monsters to fight for them and are a bit of a pain since they fly so you gotta jump and butt stomp in there area to knock em down so you can kill them another one was the healer goblin I hated him so much he heals the strongest monster in the area making fights harder for you.

The bosses are honestly some of the best fights ive had in an action rougelite each having different combat styles as well as different powers each boss definitely made me think twice during the fight.

The game also has armor and weapons that you can unlock with in game currency theres helmets and the body armor each having there own stats that you can mix and match as well theres also 3 weapons for now but im sure more will be added i would love an axe or duel wield I think it would be pretty bad ass to do.

Theres also an upgrade area which focuses on your stats which is also very helpful when battles are intense.

The battles themselves aren’t so bad but can get hard with certain monsters you gotta survive 3 waves and kill everyone while monsters keep spawning until your done there’s also other office workers you gotta save which can give you xp boost or health potions.

All in all Box Knight is a blast and taking on corporate corruption is a blast i cant wait to see what the team adds to the game but i for one will be enjoying my time with box knight and cant wait to see whats in store for the game thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Ground Zero Hero

So what do you get when you mix vampire survivors with Rick and Morty you get one hell of a chaotic combination and thats Ground Zero Hero thats what we are talking about today but first off i wanna say a huge thank you to Acclaim and Rowan Edmondson for sending me a copy of the game to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

As you know im a huge rougelite fan Vampire survivors started such a fun genre and everytime a new game comes out in it I try my best to get a copy and cover it so when Ground Zero Hero hit my radar I knew i wanted to try it out and see what spin on the formula they did.

So you start out with the first level everything else is unlocked the goal of each level is to kill 9,999 monsters and then you have to kill a boss for a total of 10k monsters is that a lot absolutely and I admit i got my ass handed to me plenty of times but each defeat makes you stronger as you unlock new powers and if you have the coins you can upgrade certain stats like health, crit and so forth so I failed about 5 times i think it was until I finally got a decent build going now if you have played any rougelite you know after a while the enemies are multiple and swarm you fast so this game offers a day and night cycle now you can brave the night and fight taking on stronger enemies or you can find a bunker and sleep the night away and it resets the field for a bit but whatever items you didnt grab before you went to sleep you lose immediately which is part of the reset. Now as you level up you can unlock a new power but on later levels it slows down as you need more and more xp so from all the power ups I noticed there was no xp power up just the basic powers at different levels as well as speed, power and attack speed.

So far each level plays the same 10k monsters survive and move to the next im stuck on a level as the monsters hit harder and none of the combinations im doing seem to help me out but that isnt stopping me from having a good time and honestly that was a worry of mine could I have a good time while having to kill so many monsters and for me that answer was yes I was still having fun the levels offer monster diversity as well as random events happen that make them even more funnier my favorite is when you set off a nuke it explodes and an alien pops up looking like wtf is going on theres also random power ups like riding a cow and plowing through enemies until it explodes theres also piñatas around the map that help keep you going by giving you health and candy which you need.

Later levels does increase in difficulty but that just adds to the challenges and makes the game more fun all in all Ground Hero Zero has been amazing its a blast and I for one am looking forward to how they keep the game growing thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
