Ring Fit Adventure Review

Sam Greenwood

Ring Fit Adventure is a really great game. It uses the Switch hardware really well and provides a fun way to workout. Graphics and Sound The graphics are lacklustre but that’s the style which I really like. The art style is sort of odd but nice. Nintendo does a great job of getting the most of the low power/low-resolution hardware. Sound design wise its decent, the music is great but the character voiceover is bad but the ring character’s VO is especially annoying, Gameplay Ring Fit is innovative in adding RPG elements to a fitness game. It actually does a really … Continue reading Ring Fit Adventure Review

Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair Review

Sam Greenwood

Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a super fun platforming game. It’s the sequel to the acclaimed Yooka Laylee. I had a great time playing the game. The graphics are great and the gameplay is pretty good. Gameplay In general, the game is great really fun to play. It makes me wish that I was able to play the original. This game is super difficult but that is balanced with level design to keep the difficulty from giving you that ‘I’ll never finish the level’ feeling. The controls are pretty simple but a couple of the more advanced moves … Continue reading Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair Review

Review Of Pokèmon Let’s Go

Sam Greenwood

I thought that I released this about a month ago. The Pokémon Let’s Go games are a great spiritual successor to Pokémon Yellow. It has also been updated with some great (and some not so great) new features and new gameplay mechanics, also some features taken from Pokémon Go. But the game has stayed true to Pokémon Yellow while improving on it Gameplay In general the Gameplay is really good. It’s a basic Pokemon game so there is not much to say. The game is a little harder than most recent Pokemon games (but I think that the earlier ones … Continue reading Review Of Pokèmon Let’s Go

Sam Greenwood

A few days ago Ubisoft held their E3 press confrence, They announced lots of big games like: Beyond Good And Evil 2 and DLC for For Honor and  more about Starlink: Battle For Atlas. The first game that they talked about was Beyond Good And Evil 2. It is a space opera game, you play as the captain of a starship. The graphics look decent (don’t think they are all final content). The coolest thing that they abbounced is that fans can contribute to the game (art, music, and story content) with a program that I think is called Hit Record. The next game … Continue reading Ubisoft@E3 2018

Sam Greenwood

Yesterday Square Enix held their E3 press confrence. It was alot shorter than expected. But they still announced and gave more info about lots of great looking games. First they showed off mre of Shadow Of The Tumb Raider. This game looks really good. It a Tumb Raider game so the story should be roughly the same of as all the old ones (trying to sucsessfully raid tumbs and not be stoppped on the way). After that they talked about Final Fantasey XIV. It looks fun like any Final Fantasey does to me (I’ve nover played one), The traler was well produced … Continue reading Square Enix@E3 2018
