After the lackluster story of Borderlands 3 , am I excited for 4? The game looks fun. But I gotta admit Randy Pitchford’s comments about the real Borderlands fans being willing to pay $80, like many gamers in our very harsh American economy, rightfully pissed me off. It’s going to be a long time if I even decide to pick up BL4 but from everything I’ve seen, the game basically looks like business as usual for the series. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Silent Hill F trailer
So I gushed over Resident Evil 9 reveal trailer but there was another trailer at 2025’s State of Play that really hit me. I’d never gotten into Silent Hill but I loved the lore, imagery, and music. F looks a fresh take on the classic franchise. The graphics and atmosphere look great and my curiosity is piqued at the story. I’m incredibly excited to experience a new entry in this beloved series. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Drug Dealer Simulator 2: Casino DLC
Many of you saw my review earlier for Drug Dealer Simulator PS5 review and I know many of you play Drug Dealer Simulator 2 over on PC, so exciting news today sees the release of the Casino DLC so check out the trailer below and hop on over and check it out if you haven’t already and remember in co-op, only the host needs to own the DLC.
Drug Dealer Simulator PS5 review
For those who have been waiting, it is finally over. Drug Dealer Simulator has finally hit PlayStation. Now, many of you have already read my review of Drug Dealer Simulator (Xbox Review), and if you have, you honestly do not need to read this one. The people who sent me the game over at Ultimate Games have done a great job making the experience pretty great across every console.
From the start, a typical day starts like this. Use your laptop to contact Eddie and tell him how much of each drug you want. Then go pick them up from the drop-off point and bring them home. Hopefully, you don’t get nailed by the cops and really screw yourself over. Don’t worry, early in the game, this is pretty easy to do. From here, you set up your deals again with the laptop. Use your table to split your drugs up into smaller quantities and make your deals.
With more experience between versions, I can say right from the start, I found it worth it, just not selling weed and only selling amphetamines. This was where you could spend some of your money to mix baking soda with your drugs. This could take your 100 grams and turn it into 130 grams.
This was just my preference, and you can obviously do whatever you choose. This is honestly one of my favorite aspects of the game. For the most part, if you don’t like dealing with something, you just don’t.
The price point for this game is also fantastic, $25 for a game with hours of time to play, a story to follow if you want, dealers to hire, and more property to rent than you can shake a baggy of dope at, and the ability to customize them into little hide outs and drug houses is amazing. I also find it relaxing to just rummage through garbage to find jewelry and stuff to sell to help launder money to pay for it all.
The game is an 8/10 experience. If you like simulators like this, this is probably the best one out there. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Fishing sim by day. Horror by night | Out Fishing Announced
Out Fishing blends the chill routine of a job sim with the creeping dread of psychological horror, all wrapped in a foggy wilderness you probably shouldn’t be in. In short: fish by day, flee by night.
Build your camp. Upgrade your tools. Catch that fish. Make profit. And try not to lose your mind as you’re freaking out wondering “Why is this fish that I’m holding is talking to me?!?”
FEATURES:
A horror story you experience at your own pace, told through exploration, fishing, strange visions, and unsettling finds.
Upgrades and tools to access deeper waters, stranger areas, and the woods, even though the woods do not want you. And profit. Can’t forget profit.
Light survival mechanics that focus on tension, not inventory spreadsheets.
A shifting day-night cycle that affects the fish, the forest, and the things you were told aren’t real.
A hauntingly quiet world full of memory echoes, half-truths, and one unspeakable goal: Reel in the thing that should’ve stayed buried.
Out Fishing is coming to PC. Wishlist it on Steam now. Or don’t. That’s your choice. But the lake remembers.
A World of Keflings Steam Demo
A World of Keflings is an old city builder from the Xbox 360, developed by Ninjabee, and they were kind enough to send me a demo of the Steam version, which is coming soon. I appreciate this because I have a lot of fond memories with this game, I played it a ton with my daughter when she was a kid, She’s now 19 and she also played the demo to see how it held up. It is live on Steam, and you should do the same.
The concept is easy: you play as a giant that helps little people known as Keflings build their city. You can pick them up to move them, and they will gather resources, move them from place to place to create new objects for you, and you use these objects to put together blueprints that turn into builds.
This can range from small things like houses or lumber mills to massive things like castles. This obviously isn’t a full review, as the game isn’t out yet. What I can say is that the demo functions great. The controls are fluid, and the sound and graphics are better than they have ever been.
The game itself does show its age in some areas, for example, it is very basic compared to many other city builders. You won’t be micromanaging any sort of trade between cities or anything like that. This isn’t a bad thing to me, though. I am excited for the full release, and you should be as well. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Ship of Fools PS5 Review
Ship of Fools is a rogue-lite from Team 17 Software, and they were kind enough to send me this after they sent me Nice Day For Fishing Steam Review, which I appreciate both. They make some great games, so please go check them out.
The game starts out simple enough: you are stranded on an island thanks to some calamity, given a boat and some cannons, and you must go fight evil creatures in an attempt to collect power-ups, save new crew members, and stop the forces of evil.
I think that’s the story anyway, I wasn’t paying attention, I was killing flies, trying to sink my ship, and smacking stuff with a boat oar. It takes effort to run around loading cannons, collecting wood to fix my ship by firing harpoons, and all that jazz that keeps the game exciting. Make no mistake, playing solo, the game is fast-paced and exciting. Do not be fooled, though, while there is a trophy for playing solo, most people don’t have it for good reason. This game is made for two players, either online or couch.
With fluid controls and cute graphics, and multiple crew members known as Fools to choose from, each with different abilities that make them better at certain things, the replay value is pretty high. Even the process of unlocking them will take more than a few runs.
Which Fool to use isn’t the only choice to make; which cannon to use is also a decision. Do you want two cannons that fire slower but will auto-target enemies when you aren’t using them? Do you want one that can be charged up to unload all of its ammo? Speaking of ammo, different ships have different ammo, and different ammo can be found during a run. Some freeze enemies occasionally, for example.
Ship of Fools is an amazing game if you like multiplayer games, but it does lose something when playing alone. It is still an 8/10 game, but it is absolutely made for 2. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Stalker Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition PS5 Review
This version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on PS5 was sent to me by the guys and gals over at GSC Game World, and I always appreciate that and like to get it out of the way first.
This review won’t focus on the story of the games too much, as there are 3 games in the trilogy with wildly different stories, for example, the first game in the series, Shadow of Chornobyl deals with the exclusion zone after the fall while the 2nd game in the series, Clear Sky has you playing as Scar and is a prequal to the first game and takes place before it all.
Instead, I want to focus on how the gameplay and functions compare to previous releases of the game. Well, outdated, honestly, in many regards. The movement feels kind of janky and jumpy compared to modern games and less fluid, something that easily could have been taken care of. Do not get me wrong, it works just fine, but if you are used to modern games, the sudden return can feel jarring. Following the map, most notably in the first game, can also feel awkward.
That being said, this is truly the best way to experience the game. It has never looked better in a release, and the controls have never been more fluid than they are now. The sound has also been greatly improved, as you imagine.
I know many of these seem to go against what I just said; that is because the game is quite old, almost 20 years at this point. The original was released in 2007, and a lot has changed since then. Games have come a long way, and they haven’t all aged the same. Playing the 2007 version of this game is a painful experience at this point, and this release gives everyone a chance to experience this in a way they can enjoy it again. It isn’t great, but it isn’t bad either. 7/10 experience. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Windward Horizon Steam Review
Windward Horizon, over on Steam, was sent to me by the people over at Tasharen Entertainment, which I am always grateful for.
The game itself is technically just a sailing game. Your captain dies, and you are somehow voted the new captain by the crew. You return him home, the crew gives you some recommendations on what to do as sort of a tutorial, and away you go. You start off by getting some new sails and are told that a new ship would be smart. How you get there is pretty much up to you.
If you want to spend some time fishing and sell it for profit, feel free to do so. You want to hunt down pirates or work on a quest, that’s up to you. With a small sloop at your disposal, trading isn’t easy at this stage, but it can be done.
This is kind of what I enjoyed about the game the most, sure it looks nice and it plays well, the controls function great. But it is rare that a game says play it how you want and then doesn’t force you into doing what it wants you to anyway. I was never forced into fighting pirates, really, outside of certain world events, and even those, if I didn’t want to do them, I just stayed away or left that part of the map, no harm, no foul.
My only real issue with the game I came across is that once, during a sea battle, my ship and an allied ship got stuck together. It worked out well because our cannons still worked, and he kept healing me as I kept killing people. We did eventually separate, and it was a one-time occurrence. It is something to be aware of during battles that it can happen.
The game cost $20, however, and it is well worth every penny of it. It is an 8/10 experience, and it will be something I play for a long time to come. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
