FBC: Firebreak Review

Image
  Overview FBC: Firebreak was one of my most anticipated games of the year. However after playing the game, It feels like it needed a little more work done. While there are a lot of things FBC does right, there also are a equal number of flaws.  (Played on PC) (No Plot Section as the game's lore is mostly dependent on Control and Alan Wake.) Gameplay FBC: Firebreak's main gameplay loop revolves around several ridiculous scenarios in which you and your team will try to complete multiple absurd objectives. The amount of fun you can have however is dependent on your team. I played one game where one of my teammates was hoarding upgrades, not doing the objective and missed the elevator. My next game was significantly more enjoyable as me and my team used our kits properly, worked together and escaped.  Zone 1 on Paper Chase on Normal Difficulty. The early weapons are extremely unbalanced. The double barrel shotgun is extremely weak, and the Submachine gun is downright awful. ...

R.E.P.O. Early Access Review: Another great Indie.

Image
  Overview R.E.P.O. is a Co-Op Horror game in Steam Early Access. I didn't see myself playing it until a friend told me about it. But R.E.P.O is one of the best Multiplayer games I've played in a while. Lore While R.E.P.O does not have a defined plot... it does have a large amount of Lore. R.E.P.O.'s story is told through environmental storytelling. There are plenty of mysteries you will want to explore. Communicating with the mysterious "Taxman" The levels and monsters also have a lot of lore behind them. The creepy "Headman Manor" is full of secrets and the strange "Swiftbroom Acadamy" is more of the same. Developer Semiwork has teased the lore in their videos and hinted at monster and character origins. Fans are already trying to piece together what happened in this strange world on the steam community. Gamers looking for mysteries to solve will have some fun in REPO. I know I'm already on the hunt for clues. Another key lore element is ...

A Minecraft movie review

Image
  Overview A Minecraft movie should be retitled to "A MemeCraft Movie." The movie is severely damaged by its generic and uninspired plot, ridiculous acting, boring characters, and basically is just one big internet meme. And to make matters worse, the visual effects don't look as good as they should. Plot A Minecraft Movie suffers from a bland traditional action movie plot that feels incredibly rushed along. The plot follows Steve as he goes to a mine, finds an "orb" and goes to the overworld where an evil Piglin witch is trying to use it to destroy the overworld and Steve has to stop it with help from a bunch of forgettable characters from the real world. Before everything "Withers and Dies" The whole thing is paper thin. The Piglins All of the plot is predictable and so ridiculously rushed it's hard to tell what's going on. First there's one fight and then in 10 minutes Steve is running from a massive Piglin "Hog" with almost no...

Oblivion Remastered is Amazing. Here's what they should do next.

Image
  Recently Bethesda released the amazing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. I day one Installed that on my PC and played it for hours. Immediately I went and searched my steam library for all the Bethesda games I never had the time to play. And that got me thinking... What could they do next? Here are five games that deserve the Oblivion Remastered treatment. Side note: These are for Xbox first Party titles ONLY.  Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind This is one that everyone is going to be asking for. Widely considered to be the best Bethesda RPG ever made, Morrowind is a great candidate for a remaster. Not just because people like it, But because its ridiculously complex. Anyone jumping into a Morrowind playthrough for the first time in 2025 better be ready for a lot of reading and complexity. Sometimes I wonder if this was even playable on Xbox. A Morrowind remaster would be a massive hit or miss. Whereas Oblivion was made for consoles, Morrowind has no combat physics, no "jour...

Rapid Reviews: VR Games Round 1.

Image
This is the first of my "Rapid Reviews" Posts. In these I will write quick Reviews of 3 - 7 games or so. This is round one of VR games.  I will note the version of the game I am reviewing as well as there are differences between platforms.   (Execution will be rated on ports) SUPERHOT: VR (SteamVR)  Superhot VR was one of the first SteamVR games I got. It's also one of the older games. It's also one of the best shooters I've ever played. Superhot VR is a blend of Puzzle and FPS. The premise of the game is that time only moves when you move. This is amazing in VR. Instead of making split second decisions like in the movies, each action is a carefully thought-out move.  The game is spread out over multiple challenge-like levels. After clearing all of these you unlock endless mode. Endless mode provides a fun and arcadey experience. Superhot VR obviously focuses on gameplay, as there is essentially no soundtrack, and the plot is not the best. However, the gameplay an...

Secret Level All episodes review.

Image
Overview Secret Level is a 15-episode animated gaming anthology series from Prime Video. I've watched all episodes.  Secret Level's episodes range from incredible to downright awful. In my opinion, it is unfair to judge Secret Level as a whole as certain episodes are way better than the rest. But overall, each episode is either a hit or miss. Here are micro-reviews of every episode. ranked worst to best. 15: Spelunky: Tally     Spelunky is easily the worst episode. It's a 7-minute short that is so rushed you can't even tell what's going on. I never even noticed the soundtrack, there is no plot whatsoever. And most of the episode is taken up by a literal death montage. Aside from a 2-minute scene where the only 2 characters talk. other than that, the episode is basically a blur. It's got no plot, a disappointing soundtrack and is horribly executed. The episode spends so much time trying to explain the roguelike "Runs" that it can't do anything else ...
