Game Review: Life is Strange Ep 1

So..I have to say this game made from Dontnod Entertainment  is actually a really good game! So no spoilers well...I mean there will be spoilers if you read this since this is Episode 1 but luckily there are several sides to the story so lets begin ! 

Overview 

The Story begins with a young girl named Max that has been thrown into a vision of a light house that is being destroyed by a gigantic swelling tornado about to hit her town but before that could happen she wakes up to find herself in the middle of class. Max was freaking out from that nightmare so she goes to the bathroon to calm down, she proceeds to the restroom. There, Max witnesses the murder of a girl. In a single, sudden effort, she rewinds time and is moved back into the classroom from before. Informed of the following outcome, she hurries off to rescue the girl, using her recently developed ability. It is revealed that the person Max saved was her childhood friend Chloe Price. The two reunite and then go for a walk to the same lighthouse she recognizes from her nightmare. Shortly after, she is moved back into the nightmare.

Pro's and Con's 

Pro's
  • Great Game 
  • Plenty of Stuff to do 
  • Alot of Characters have a great personality 
  • Good Story Line 
  • Keeps you interested 
  • Rewind Power...So Overpowered XD 
Con's
  • Sometimes you feel that the Rewind Power is a little bit to overpowered. 
  • Sometimes when you click around you might not be able to reach it. 
  • You might need to search up an answer sometimes. 

Verdict 

I have to say this is another one of my favorite games right now when it comes to story and gameplay. Sure it reminds me alot of Telltale Games style of games but so far once you really get into it has such a different feel to it in a good way. 

I give " Life is strange " a 8 out of 10 something for people who really want a new story driven game I say you should defiantly get this ! Right now it has 3 chapters but hopefully the 4th chapter will come out soon and also they are talking about making a Season 2 for this game series!?

Game Review : Legend of Korra (PC)

Well I have played the game " Legend of Korra " now I am going to tell my honest opinion about the game and to be honest ...it wasn't too bad but I can see why people where complaining.  ( This Game is really short ) 

Overview 

An Ancient evil has risen and has become a threat to the Avatar and the 4 nations. The story takes place between Books Two and Three. After opening the spirit portals, this ancient enemy has come back named Hundun as he seeks to bring chaos to the world so now you as Korra has to stop him and his allies you will meet along your adventure.

Idea's for their Next game

Okay to be honest they could have done better with this game if they had more time with it but so far I do see another game in "Legend of Korra" that they could do since now they have the time to complete it. Create Legend of Korra " Pro Bending Game " see with this you can make it a multiplayer game while letting game players create their characters, they can choose what type of bender they can be and group up with a couple of people and create their own pro bending team.  

Pro's and Con's 

Pro's
  • Great Graphics 
  • Good Animation 
  • Good Combat 
  • Its a decent game for Legend of Korra Fans 
Con's
  • It gets really repetitive after awhile 
  • Fire Bending Enemies are kind of Overpowered 
  • Certain enemies seem to do more damage than others 
  • Way too short

Verdict 

Okay if they actually took more time into the game then this would probably live up to the fans of " Legend of Korra" but they created this game really fast which made it something a little bit too repetitive. There is alot of potential for this game and if they could fix it up or create and add on dlc to give the players more content this would probably get a better score. 


I give legend of Korra a 5 out of 10 for this game is not bad but not good either

Overview 

Grim Fandango is a point and click adventure game which focuses on the main character " Manuel Calavera" ( Or just call him Manny) he is a Travel Agent for the DOD ( Department of Death ) in the city of El Marrow as he was forced to do this job to work off a debt. Manny being frustrated with being getting these horrible clients and dealing with his horrible boss named " Don Copal " as the boss noticed that Manny hasn't had a single good client and threatened to fire him. So Manny decided to take it into his own hands to get a better client and steals one of the better clients from their top employee " Domino Hurley", Manny's new client's name is " Mercedes "Meche" Colormar.

Kickstarter Games: We Happy Few ( Sooo Very Happy )

Ever Imagine a world where everyone was happy , and I mean everyone was happy and cheerful well...this game that is reminding me alot of Bioshock except with just people and happy faces (lol). So far this game has been peaking my interest and now I am going to take about it with all of you today ! ( Get ready for some joy and smiling faces ) 

Overview 

We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of slightly terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful delusion. Set in a drug-fuelled, retro-futuristic city in an alternative history 1964 England, you’ll have to blend in with its other citizens, who don’t take kindly to people who don’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.

So far from what I can tell of the story in general just try to do something that makes everyone un-happy and they will fully and without restraint hunt you down to make sure everyone stays... Happy ! 

Gameplay Footage ( Pre-Alpha) 

We Happy Few Trailer 

See if I was ever in a place like this just all the " GET ME OUT OF HERE !! " would be going on lol but its a pretty interesting survival game ! 

Kickstarter Verdict 

A game this creepy and this weird...Oh yea I am would definitely fund this game in a hear beat. I mean look you have creepy people, always smiling, they will chase you and hunt you down, a fun survival horror game 


Verdict: If you love survival horror games or just to play something different and creepy then yes you should definitely help back this game out

SideScroller Game on Kickstarter: Tokyo Dark 

6/9/2015

So I really like sidescroller games they are really interesting ! :D and this game "Tokyo Dark " is something really interesting at first I though it was a visual novel game but after reading the whole entire kickstarter all I have to say is " Wow! " 

Story 

The story focuses on the main female protagonist named Detective Ito and her partner has gone missing somewhere in Tokyo.  Slowly this case will send you down spirals of a twisted nightmare that causes her to confront her past and questions her own sanity! 

Kickstarter Pitch for Tokyo Dark! 

Gameplay 

Tokyo Dark is a sidescroller , point and click mystery adventure game ( wow thats a mouthful lol XD) that lets you explore around Tokyo , talk to alot of characters , collecting clues , solve puzzles and make those difficult choices that might have very bad consequences ! 

Kickstarter Verdict 

So what I see is a game that could get really interesting from the fact that: 
  1. Dark Tale 
  2. There are about 10 Different Endings to this game 
  3. They made this game so if you are stuck on a puzzle there are many other solutions to solve it 


As they say here in their notes for the game " We came to the conclusion that to us the most interesting thing about a puzzle is not if it can be solved, but how it is solved and what that solution says about someone's personality. " 


Now that is a game that seems pretty interesting when you can have the choice to have difficult puzzles or you can just have a great story and walk into an area but you have no idea what consequences you might have unleashed!


I would say definitely back this game !
