David McK (3673 KP) rated First Sword (Roman Arena, #3) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The third book in Simon Scarrow's Arena series of e-book exclusives, this (like the previous two) only consists of 9 chapters and so is a pretty short read.

Unlike the last entry, however, Macro plays more of a role in this story, which is set in and around the running of a lanista (Gladiator 'school') rather than in an Arena. Again, the culmination of the novel is a fight between two Gladiators: this time, though, they are fighting in the grounds of the lanista (one for survival, the other to escape) rather than in the Arena for the amusement of the mob ...

Intense

Nothing quite like mother nature to give you a good scare. This movie had good acting, really good cinematography and a great storyline. This survival horror movie starts off a little slow with a long hurricane and a daughter trying to find gett father in it. Then they threw alligators in the mix(and BIG ones at that) and things got intense real quick. A few deaths and some jump scares later and this farthest/ daughter duo proves that they don't give up. One of the better horror movies I've seen in a while. This one is DEFINITELY with a watch!

One of my favourite games. Complete carnage. Take control of one of the gingerbread men in this survival game made of cheeky punches and bazookas. 2-6 players flee from candy land to escape. You’re not the only one so it’s a fight for the exit.
Grab weapons, run past your opponents and don’t forget to sucker punch them. If all else fails then call a cage match battle!!! Rip your opponents limbs off one by one and keep them as trophies. 6 biscuits enter, one biscuit leaves. Check out my review...

Powerful and emotional!

Determined to build the best football club in the country, Dimitry hires the German coach, Rudolph Spitz, to galvanize his rag tag team but - when the first Nazi tanks roll through the city and Rebecca, the beautiful daughter of a local banker, elopes with his star player, all Dimitry's plans must change.

A fight for freedom and keeping the nationality, a fight for love, a fight for survival - this is a must watch to everyone that has interest in history, or loves romance or football.

Emotional until the very end, powerful in every scene, and surrounded by funny moments throughout.

I loved this game from the second it was announced because the concept really appealed to me. I wasnt disappointed. The honour of the conversation options left me chuckling to myself (especially if you choose a "dumb" charachter) and the storyline kept my interest. The combat was fairly simple and even on 'hard' it was manageable. I would go as far as to say that hard was equivalent to normal mode on most games.
Survival mode is practically insane but really good fun - apart from not being able to fast travel- walking is helped by choosing the speed boost on your perks though.

Great writing, from story, to characters, to lore. (1 more)

It's beautiful, and atmospheric with great music.

At time of playing (launch, before any updates) there's a few clunky things: like constantly drawing your weapon when you don't mean to. (1 more)

I had one instance where entering a room in the final mission kept completely crashing my game, and I had to parkour my way around to overcome this. Hopefully this is patched out soon!

Saved the Single Player

I loved this game. I imagine I'll be playing it for many years to come, and I'm hoping desperately for a sequel! I've been missing single player RPGs desperately lately, with studios like BioWare leaving them behind.

This game really scratched that itch for me. It's got great characters, great gameplay and a great story. It's just great. I can't recommend it enough.

Obviously it has some kinks to be worked out, but I was very easily able to overlook them when playing.
I am a little disappointed that some features were left out, like third person view and romances, but hope that these could be implemented into a sequel. Either way, I still enjoyed playing.
