Outriders Review
Abstract:
Outriders feels very similar to a lightning strike. It hit me at just the right time that it really resonated with me. That doesn’t mean it’s a must-play, though. There are many bugs, many odd choices that can quickly take away from anyone’s experience. Plus, the bland story thrown in the mix could’ve set Outriders up for failure. The fast and explosive gameplay loop saved Outriders. Impactful abilities, customization options, exciting weapons, and easily changeable difficulty features are what kept me coming back. Outriders has created a good foundation, and I can’t wait to see how People Can Fly builds upon it in the future.
Paradise Lost Review
Abstract:
Paradise Lost had lots of promise. With beautifully crafted environments to explore and interesting world-building, the alternate 1980s Poland should have been fun to explore. Not because of excitement, but because of curiosity about what happened to the people who lived in an abandoned bunker for twenty years. However, that fun quickly gets bogged down. Bad voice acting that sounds worse than being phoned in, graphical glitches, a patchwork story, and ultra-slow gameplay even for walking simulator standards ruin what could’ve been, at minimum, an interesting game.
Cyanide & Happiness Freakpocalypse Review
Abstract:
Cyanide and Happiness - Freakpocalypse needs a lot of work if it wants to keep releasing entries on a console. For being a game about a well-known dark comedy property, it succeeds in bringing Explosm’s world to life, but even then it feels like it misses the mark. Cyanide and Happiness is most well known for its short-form skits and even quicker comic strips. That doesn’t feel like it translates well to a longer form of entertainment, like a video game. This could be in due part to it being an abruptly ending part one of a trilogy. As for being a point-and-click adventure, let alone a video game, there are many, many issues.
