Horizon Zero Dawn
2017 | Action/Adventure
combines a gripping narrative with intense action that blends both fast-paced combat with slower-paced, tense stealth sections perfectly. Everything about their vision for this game clicks into place and is accentuated by a stellar presentation.

Its slow combat pace and narrative shortcomings might turn off those unwilling to take the time to dive into what it has to offer. But make no mistake-those who do will be rewarded with some of the most satisfying multiplayer melee fighting conceived...

Decent part 2
More of the same in this part 2 to the hit first film. Seems to be more gun play in this one than hand to hand combat. They have some good set pieces. Overall I didn't feel visually it was quite as slick as the first. Still a great action film.

I'm probably very biased towards this, it was the first installment in the series that I played and served as my proper introduction to DC - before that I was all Marvel all the way. I loved the fight mechanic, the character design and the huge sandbox you get to play in.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas
2018 | Action/Adventure
'There's a nice mindless blaster with lots of colour and energy. But it's a bit hidden by busywork in the menus, endless upgrading and meter-watching on the planetary surface, shameless creative borrowings in the art department - and hefty bills at the Amazon checkout.'

The biggest addition is to the price tag, but Cave Story itself is still a masterclass in minimalist video game design.

An overlooked bungie Gem that was too ahead of its time.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Oni is a third person action videogame developed by Bungie (west).
Released in 2001 it was Bungie wests ONLY game!?
The game focuses on shooting and hand to hand combat as you take on a reasonable amount of enemies, the gun controls are rather terrible and the combat controls are great providing you actually manage to land a strike.

ONI was originally planned to be released just for Mac, OS and Windows but was later ported to ps2 through Rockstar Canada.

The game was heavily inspired by Anime classics 'Ghost in a Shell' and 'Akira' which is very noticeable from the cover and beginning of the game (and also being set in a cyberpunk world).

Story:

Taking place in the year 2032, the world has become a dystopia due to pollution leaving very little of the planet habitable.

In order to solve the Global economic crisis, all nations formed under one banner....the world coalition government.

 You play as agent Konoko (voiced by Amanda winn-Lee) a member of the TCTF (Technological Crimes Task Force), working against a crime organisation known as The Syndicate. Whilst blasting through enemies konoko begins to unravel secrets promoting more questions than answers.

Combat dice
Let's start with the artwork. It is beautifully designed with unique characters that are easily remembered. If you enjoy rolling dice and grew up playing yahtzee this is the game for you. Think of it as strictly combat yahtzee you have your variety of different characters that do different skills and spells and your main goal is to defeat the other opponent(s). This can be played 1v1 2v2 3v3 or free for all. The good thing about this game is it recently had a new season with even more characters that can be added. And soon to be on kickstarters a dice throne adventures which is told to be cooperative. Stay tuned for a full review on the game as well as a deeper tutorial on gameplay for people that has never played.

Movie Rating
The four-handed set-up (though other characters, and a number of wobbly flashbacks, intrude) may well recall Yasmina Reza’s acrid couple-combat in her play God of Carnage. If you thought that foursome were rotten eggs, get a load of this lot.

Combat with a customizable gun and use of the abilities to tackle any obstacles in your own way made the gameplay very interesting! The lore of the world was very cool and actually made me explore (0 more)
The story makes little sense, and the best missions are hidden away as side missions that can easily be missed. The game also has loading issues with the environment. (0 more)
Good Game, Weird Story
