Tune in for the next review: Hearthstone



 

[ VERDICT ]

Even the tutorial is entertaining. It's less buildy and coloury than other game(s), but more of a steampunk adult game. Beginners could have it easier in my opinion as I couldn't get any weapons for more games that I find comfortable, for example. And I don't say I am a straight up pro, but how are you supposed to learn the game when you hold knife and face someone with AR... I love the skins though - you can mix trinkets, weapons, poses, emotes, and others. You earn them fairly easily and whenever you loot eg. the gun, you automatically get the customised look.





Eye-candy map with mixed biomes is refreshing to old style maps 🧊. Characters vary big time and skins are gorgeous. Even the common ones are joy to wear 🤡. Although sometimes it gets clunky. Visuals 4/5


Getting in is easy. Playing the game.. ..not so much. You got to be fast to loot a weapon, lucky to find the right ammo and cautious to blink at the enemy before he kills you. For that I recommend someone bulky (the bigger the body, the bigger the resilience seems to be 😁 ) so you have some time to look around. As time passes you don't need to be fast, lucky or cautious as you will get the swing of it. Gameplay 4/5


At the launch you are presented with some (a bit lengthy) cutscene, but I am not sure if it is game or season related. Well it was a nice intro and gets you that RPG feel. 🤠 Story 2/5


I find the game well optimised, And what at first looked liked a junk of a GUI looks easy and smooth to navigate. Everything clicks just like good watches. Even QOL (quality of life) features are abundant. From giving you enough time to select your legend, to illustrative tutorial, they took the time to make the game fun from top to the bottom. Quality 5/5



Offers everything you need for marvellous game session, minus bugs plus cool atmosphere. I just miss the spark ⚡️ VERDICT 15/20


Play on: [WINDOWS / XBOX / PLAYSTATION]

JOURNEY TO THE SALVAGE PLANET - 2hour review

Outstandingly ridiculous out-of-this-world journey. In the short span I was trying the game I laughed, solved puzzles, crafted and laughed again. The game is not on Geforce Now, so I had to try and pl
