Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an open-world action adventure game produced by Rockstar games. It is a prequel to the original Red Dead Redemption game released in 2010. The game is set in five fictitious states of the United States of America at a time when outlaws were on their way out and civilization was setting in. The game is crafted with an insane attention to detail that is unique in creating a world which feels organic and real.

We are introduced to the story and participate in it by playing Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang.

The gameplay is better in Red Dead Redemption 2 than the original Red Dead Redemption game, refining the mechanics of combat, gunplay, honor system and more. Some new features of the game include dual-wielding and the ability to swim.

As with the previous game, the story is deep, well designed and the choices are significant in crafting the direction of the story. A new aspect that is introduced in the franchise by Red Dead Redemption 2 is the ability for the player to communicate with NPCs in ways that are more dynamic and feel more realistic. You almost feel like you are talking to real people when interacting with them.

The world in Red Dead Redemption 2 feels like it is a real place. Your weapons degrade over time, require oiling and cleaning and your main character’s hair and weight changes happen at a realistic pace.

The game also features hunting and fishing, which allows you to provide food, income, and materials for crafting items. The hunting mode in the game is very realistic, making it more than just a simple game of locating and shooting an animal.

Once the animal is dead, the player has the option to skin and butcher the animal on the spot or carry the whole carcass. Keeping up with the realistic nature of the game, the carcass is affected by how long you carry it and can start rotting if you carry it too long.

Visually, the game is stunning and deserves all the critical acclaim it has received so far. The story and the score that accompanies the game is just as stunning as the visuals and the game is nothing short of a masterpiece when you consider all the aspects of it.

Red Dead Redemption 2 makes you feel like you’re an outlaw and you’re living in a world that is changing too fast. You make decisions that alter the grand scheme of things and you develop bonds with your gang members as you get to know them over the course of the game. The riding system is also improved and the player has to bond with the horse to control it better in hairy situations.

Overall, the game is one of the best games Rockstar has made. From the action to the roleplay elements to the combat system, there are no stones left unturned when it comes to this masterpiece of a game called Red Dead Redemption 2.

Pokemon Sword and Shield,Gaming,Games,Online Games,Video Games

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

The years might change, but one thing that will never change is the undying love we have for Pokémon. When I look back at my childhood, some of the fondest memories I have are of Pokémon and its related moments. The characters and dynamics are truly imbued in the minds and memories of all of Pikachu’s fans. Pokémon games over the years have come to definite their own distinct style and character. Whether it was the very first 2D games that kept us entertained for hours or the game-changing Pokémon Go that truly redefined the way people interacted with their phones, Pokémon games have always been some of the most immersive games in the world. The latest arrival in the series comes in the form of Pokémon Sword and Shield.

With online leaks coming forward a few months ago, the initial glimpse we had made us definitely want to try out the actual game. Finally, getting the change to play the game after a long wait feels like a true treat. The game truly reverts to the core of the Pokémon experience to deliver a stunning game.

One of the best aspects of the latest Pokémon game is the never Pokémon it brings. Instead of focusing on encompassing every single possible Pokémon, the game manages to add some stunning new Pokémon that are an integral part of the experience this time around. Even though the decision to not include every single Pokémon was a highly risky one, the game manages to deliver through by offering worthwhile new Pokémon for players to play with. The game does a major step down in comparison to all other games, instead of the standard 890 Pokémon in the previous games, Sword and Shield has less than half. With just 400 Pokémon, I was initially skeptical about whether the game would be able to deliver on the experience. But boy was I wrong
The game truly manages to knock it out of the part with dynamic new Pokémon designs and offering new immersive regions that are truly a stunning aspect of the whole game. The gameplay is visibly improved from the previous iterations, perfectly bringing the Pokémon games to Nintendo Switch.

The game ventures into the Galar region, which is awfully similar to a rendition of the United Kingdom. Every aspect of the experience is reflecting on the general change in direction. Whether it was the rolling green hills or the way characters interact, the freshness is visibly there in the latest iteration of Pokémon.

One thing that was kind of upsetting was the inability to bring forward generations of Pokémon via Pokedex, which was an essential aspect of the previous games. The general mechanics in terms of Dynamaxing also seemed odd in the way they were implemented.

However, in consolidation, the game is a stunning addition to the Pokémon series. With an array of new Pokémon and a fresh new region, It is a must-try for all Pokémon fans.

Halo,Gaming,Games,Online Games,Video Games

And luckily for us, Darksiders Genesis seems to be a major step in the right direction. With a return to the general vibe for the series, Genesis is poised to offer exciting new offerings. Instead of sticking to the old model of being a simple 3^rd person adventure, Darksiders Genesis is bringing out an entirely new perspective with its outlooks as a co-operative shooter.

It is definitely one of the most anticipated games of December 2020.

Death Stranding: Absolutely Worth the Wait, Hideo Kojima At His Best

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

When I first got to take a look at the trailer for Death Stranding, I was truly intrigued. With Norman Reedus as the protagonist and Hideo Kojima at the helm, the reveal was truly staggering. Nothing seemed to make sense, right in line with what you would expect from a Hideo Kojima game. However, after playing the game after its release, my experience has been truly amazing.

Coming from the guy behind Metal Gear, Hideo Kojima’s latest production is an absolutely unique experience. The first entry from Kojima’s very own Kojima Productions with complete backing from Sony, the game manages to make a unique mark without failing to surprise us. The first thing that I noticed in the experience with the truly unique Hideo Kojima aesthetic, its almost as if the game is the extension of the Metal Gear series, the cutscene’s and narrative options all reflect the philosophy of the creator in its visual elements.

One of the most notable aspects of the game is its star-studded cast. From Norman Reedus to Mads Mikkelsen, the game is backed by solid performances from these veteran actors. The presence of Guillermo Del Toro helps add an element of a masterpiece to the general range of emotions and expressions that the game tries to convey. One of the most noticeable presences throughout the game was the presence of Conan O Brian which helps break the 4^th wall.

The storyline of the game is extremely complex, as the title of the game suggests, Death Stranding refers to an event which rendered a majority of humanity extinct. The planet is now surrounded by ghosts referred to as BT’s. Having certain babies help detect the presence of these ghosts and it is extremely important to avoid and maintain the distance from the ghosts as they can eat you their mouths. The concept, as weird as it sounds, works perfectly in the context of Kojima’s storytelling. A bulk of the game is shrouded with mystery and kept me wondering about the context and background of the game which is perfect for the general direction of the game.

The dynamics of the game are filled with entertaining aspects that keep you hooked. The general storyline is very lengthy. It took me around 50 hours to complete the main storyline. The bulk of the storyline revolves around the deliveries of certain important packages and managing the weight being carried. The combat dynamics involve a lot of stealth elements which make the general experience entertaining.

The easter eggs in the game are highly entertaining and made the general experience so much more memorable. Without sharing too many details, the background behind certain activities conducted by Norman Reedus is definitely one that has to be experienced. The game is a perfect rollercoaster of visuals, weirdness and a storyline that takes you on a peculiar adventure; Everything you would expect from a Hideo Kojima game.

Quirkiness Meets Fun To Offer A Meaningful Experience In The Outer World

When we started hearing about The Outer World releasing this month, we were intrigued by what the experience would be like. What we could not predict was how fun the experience would be. This game was definitely amongst the most fun games I have played all year. The experience thoroughly was authentic. Obsidian truly managed to come out with a game that leaves u intrigued for hours.

The most striking element of the game was the fact for us, the general roleplay experience felt much deeper than traditional role-playing games. The general interactivity of the game was astounding. As I first stepped into a human colony wearing a ravaged armor, the general reaction of the people around was extremely interesting as they called me out my dressing choices. Unlike most modern games that are extremely focused on delivering massive expansive games. The Outer World was a breath of fresh air with its extremely compact yet deep characters and environment. Every aspect of the interaction was filled with meaningful quirks that didn’t fail to surprise me.

One of the biggest factors that stood out to me was the general Bethesda influence into the general game. From the impact of small actions into the larger story to the general sphere, a certain Fallout environment is definitely there. However the best aspect of the game is its focus on having a smaller in-depth environment unlike Fallout which has a massive map and the focus deviates on a much larger scale.

My favorite aspect of the game was definitely how much power it gave to my choices. It was almost as if you get to have the ability to entirely disrupt the flow of the game from the very start. From turning in a major character to other important choices that get to impact the way the game works, The Outer Worlds is a refreshing change from the norm.

The game is also incredibly intelligent with the way it interacts with you. Having a smart character limits your dialogue options to the ones that are most relevant to your journey. On the other hand, having a low IQ character expands the choices you get while making a conversation. It most definitely feels at times as if the game is predicting and acting upon the choices you are making on an intelligent level. One of the highlights of the game is when the game puts you at a crossroads where you have to make the decision of putting forward a character in front of her parents and the reactions are based entirely on the moves you make. The game and the reactions felt much more realistic than I could have previously anticipated.

To sum it all, The Outer Worlds is a must-try for every gaming fan. With a 20-30 hour playing time, it offers much more meaningful content than most games. The level of depth and intelligence is something that is truly going to make its mark on many other games in the future.

Need for Speed Heat Turns It Up A Notch to Deliver an Exhilarating Experience

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Need for Speed is definitely one of the most beloved gaming franchises in the world. Ever since the first installment of the franchise was released, the game successfully managed to grow and become the biggest racing game in the world. Even after 25 years, the excitement for the latest edition of the game is at an all-time high. Despite the let down from the 2017 NFS Payback, we could not help but be excited for Need for Speed Heat.

As we delved into the game, the thing that first captured our attention was how stunning the visuals looked. Palm City looks simply stunning due its perfectly matched color calibrations and lighting. We were able to experience a number of different weather conditions. From a gorgeous sunny day to a gloomy rainy day, the game perfectly captures the different vibes by adjusting the visual elements to perfectly compliment the feel of the game. The view of water on the road is a sight a behold with reflections adding to the stunning effect.

A surprising interactive detail in the game was the impact sounds had in creating the perfect atmosphere for racing. I would definitely be using headphones during the experience to perfectly capture the feeling of the game. Every car has its own unique engine sound. The Ferrari and Nissan sound distinctly different which I felt was an amazing detail in the game. Further visual effects are absolutely stunning, the way the water splashes off the wheels, the way the tires squeal, it is just an absolutely astounding experience combined with the hyper-realistic sound effects.

No matter how good the perks and effects are, a good is as good as its gameplay and storyline and NFS Heat definitely packs a punch in that aspect. NFS is definitely an arcade racer which a multitude of elements that make it extremely fun. The mixture of an open world along with a highly customizable environment brings the signature NFS flair to the game.

One of the most unique aspect that the game induces is the factor of having different impacts whether the time is day or night. In the morning, the game offers a number of different challenges spread out through the map. However, our experience with the game showed us that night is definitely the place to be. While you definitely attract massive heat with the cops due to the illegal racing environment, the stunning visuals of the city and glaring lights make it hyper-interactive. Nighttime racing is integral for earning reputation and unlocking better upgrades and parts.

I was extremely fortunate to be able to experience the game way ahead of its public release. My limited experience with the game was one of the most fun gaming experiences I had this year. It definitely made me left wanting more. The public release is just across the corner and it is highly recommended to give this one a shot.

WWE 2k20 Manages to Offer Exciting New Additions Despite Minor Shortcomings

Rating: 4.0/5 stars

WWE 2k has established itself as the premier franchise when it comes to wrestling games. Building on the foundation and reputation of the biggest sports entertainment companies in the world, WWE 2k20 is the latest entry in one of the most globally revered gaming franchises. Over the last few years, the WWE 2k series seemed to be heading down the path of FIFA. With yearly offerings, it felt like a similar game with more less the same content. However, this year, it seems like fans of the series might have something really fun to look forward to. After the departure of the previous studio Yukes, the game is solely created by Visual concepts. The change in the studio comes as a fortunate one as it offers the franchise a chance to reset its elements to offer something new. Even though Yukes had an incredible run with 2k games, having a fresh studio working on the contents is a definitely welcome change in the game.

WWE 2k20 truly makes one of the most needed changes to adapt to the time. It puts forth some spotlight on the star diva’s that have truly elevated the standard of the WWE. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair have managed to put themselves at the forefront of WWE stardom and they get their much-deserved spotlight in WWE2k20. The game introduces the 2K showcase model that covers the rise of the NXT’s famous horsewomen. The career mode also features a female story mode which is a late but pleasant addition.

WWE 2k20 shows massively signs of improvement in character modeling. Unlike the previous installment which was at the bring of several jokes by even the superstars themselves, this game offers extremely details and fluid character design, providing a fresh change from the previous iteration. The modeling of the in-game elements truly helps in the emersion aspect. The ring is modeled differently to offer a much better level of fighting experience, the reflection of light is also handled much better off of the mats. Even though these are extremely minor factors, they contribute massively to the experience of the game.
The game also changed the way the controls and handled so that the finisher and the moves are configured with a different methodology. The combo’s take a little time to get used to as they are radically different from the initially used combination attacks. There are also major differences in the way attacks are reversed.

The number of news modes offered in the game along with a new take on character design and combat elements by a new published definitely make it a worthwhile experience. The game promises to be a unique experience that defines the standard for wrestling games and it will surely manage to do so. Based on our current experience so far, we would definitely recommend to all the fans of WWE as the game offers them to pair up exciting pairings and create highly entertaining scenarios.

Witcher 3 Is A Must-Try For Every Switch User

Witcher 3, Video Games, Online Games, Gaming

Rating: 5/5 stars

When Cd Projekt Red announced Witcher 3 in May 2015, everyone anticipated it to be good. No one, however, could manage to predict the masterpiece that the game would turn out to be. With flawless progression into the story of Geralt of Rivia, the 3^rd installment in the series turned out to be one of the best games of all time. Based on the classic fantasy novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, Witcher 3 truly managed to push the series to the forefront of pop culture, establishing its place as one of the best games ever. The impeccable design and progression were backed up by the esteemed Game of the Year award received by the series.

From the characters to the storyline, we cannot find a flaw in the game even if we try. The open-world setting of the game is built beautifully. With a plethora of diverse natural landscapes all having their own host of creatures, the game is a true masterpiece that can indulge you for days. The game progression is majorly impacted by the choices made during the course of the game, there are multiple different ending options that are all impacted by the decisions that you take through the course of the game. Aside from the main quests that are quintessential to the progression of the story, the game is also riddled with side quests that are extremely fun.

The characters from the previous iterations of the Witcher series are built upon and taken to the next level. From character design to animation, every aspect of the gameplay is enhanced by entertaining characters. Geralt of Rivea as the protagonist perfectly suits the gritty, action-based theme of the game. The character is truly one of the best protagonists within the genre of fantasy gaming. Aside from the protagonist, main characters like Ciri, Dandelion, Dijkstra, and others offer a range of contrasting appearances that perfectly compliment the progression of the game.

Aside from the main gameplay and objectives, Witcher 3 features one of the most entertaining minigames in the form of Gwent. The highly entertaining card game has gone on to gain so much popularity that the company has released it in the form of separately playable gaming with online servers.

The combat and gameplay are surprisingly fluid with different iterations of weapons and armors suited to perfectly compliment the battles. The difficulty levels highly impact the experience in battle and harder difficulty levels place a high emphasis on strategic attacks instead of the wild slaughter that is extremely enjoyable in easier difficulties.

We rarely give out 5-star ratings to game as we feel there is always room for improvement when it comes to games. However, everyone once in a while, there comes a game that truly deserves a perfect rating. Witcher 3 is that game. Filled with enough entertainment to keep you indulged for weeks, the game is a must-try for all Nintendo Switch users as it releases.
