Thoughts on Ubisoft Forward 2022

Kojo's avatarBefore The Clock Strikes 12

Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I am back again with another gaming post. This time, I want to talk about my thoughts on Ubisoft Forward 2022, the presentation held by the video game company Ubisoft, which took place on 10 September 2022. I am going to try to make this as short as possible. So, without further ado, let us get into it.

Ubisoft Forward 2022 First Half

Ubisoft Forward 2022 was sort of split into two halves. The first half focused on some of Ubisoft’s properties, both already released and upcoming titles. The event kicked off with an extended look at Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, set for release on 20 October 2022. Next up was a new trailer and some more information for their upcoming pirate game Skull & Bones, set for release on 8 November 2022. Following this was the…

God of War (PS4)

God of War on PS4 is considered a masterpiece and almost a revamping for the entire series. Truthfully, this is the best God of War of them all, and it isn’t even close. Graphically, the sound, the gameplay. All of it is top notch.

I also don’t like it. The game is so repetitive. Fight monsters, pretty much by either throwing your axe or swinging your weapon of choice. Find an item, move on to the next area. I also realize I am the only person I personally know that feels this way.

The upgrade system is pretty awesome by the way with plenty of variety in upgrades and armors to choose from. Many of you will be looking forward to Ragnarok,so enjoy the trailer below.

Instagram Removes Pornhub’s Account

Instagram has suspended Pornhub’s widely followed account on the social platform. Before the sex site’s account was removed from Instagram, Pornhub had 13.1 million followers and more than 6,200 posts. Reps for Meta, Instagram’s parent company, did not respond to a request for comment. The move comes one month after Visa and Mastercard cut off…

Live Action Little Mermaid Trailer

The first image and trailer for the live action Little Mermaid (2023) is here. Like many people my age,I really wish they would just stop. They aren’t made for me though. It looks beautiful and while Halle Bailey has a singing voice that just pierces my head like a nail gun for some reason, she makes an absolutely beautiful Ariel. Definitely something the kids will enjoy. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Catmaze Xbox series S/X Review

Catmaze is another bank breaking ($9.99) game from Ratalaika Games. As always I am grateful to be tossed a copy to review.

The game starts off with a young witch named Alesta running an errand for her sick mother. This errand should be quite simple, go and get a special grass that grows near a town to the west. This is when the game starts to really teach you about this metroidvania game.

The general gameplay is quite simplistic. One button jumps, another has your little familiar attack,of which you can collect twelve. Each with its own ability such as burning or freezing an enemy.

Traversing this world is easy, and it has a very good map. It updates fast,it doesn’t take up much space and doesn’t make you guess where on the map you are. You will be backtracking a bit trying to figure things out,but the maps are nice enough that I never really minded anyway. you can also refill your health and save your game at special cat fountains which you will need frequently.

The combat itself is surprisingly tactical. At first I tried to beat everything by simply standing in front of it and blasting it or later jumping on its head. This actually works out quite well until you defeat the first boss. After that you need to be a bit more careful.

The game is a blast to play if you enjoy metroidvania games. If you don’t it is still rather enjoyable. At the price this point this game comes in which is beyond reasonable despite my earlier joke. It is worth picking up. It is a good 8/10 game worth adding to your collection. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Circus Electrique Review PS5

Circus Electrique is a new RPG from Saber Interactive and they were gracious enough to toss me a review code for this one.

The game takes place, you won’t believe this,at a place called Circus Electrique. You play as the niece (Amelia) of the owner and noted journalist. As always I won’t waste too much time on the story because I don’t want to risk spoiling anything. It is safe to say it is full of twists and turns and well worth a play though.

The combat is a lot like Darkest Dungeon but replaces the dark stuff with strongmen and fire breathers. In total there are 15 different archetypes of characters. One of my favorites are the clowns. They have a mood that increases the morale of everyone and snacks people with hammers.

The game takes place over the course of days. First pick a circus act to earn money and items. They all have different sets of attributes you need to reach to be allowed to use them. They all have different requirements and each character has things they are better at and people they get along with.

Really the only thing left to cover is the graphics and sound, both of which are solid. Neither one is anything to write home about but they don’t disappoint. I also never ran across any glitches or crashing and in the era of gaming it is hard to come by. The difficulty is fantastic. It starts off simple enough but it does spike later on. It is a great 8/10 and I definitely recommend RPG fans, especially if the Darkest Dungeon sort checks this one out. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Be Kind — Master Mix Movies

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a top contender for weirdest movie ever made. The directing duo Daniels was previously responsible for the equally bizarre Swiss Army Man. Everything Everywhere All at Once is just as independent, but it became a surprise hit for A24. The movie seemed to come out of nowhere, even with […]

Neil Patrick Harris Apologizes for Mocking Amy Winehouse After Her Death

Neil Patrick Harris responded to criticism of a resurfaced image from a Halloween party he hosted 11 years ago, which included a buffet platter made to look like the corpse Amy Winehouse. Winehouse, a genre-defining jazz vocalist and songwriter, died on July 23, 2011 at the age of 27. A few months later, Harris and […]
