2019 Games I Am Looking Forward To Most

images

The first game I am looking forward to if from Kalypso and that is Tropico 6. I loved the earlier games and Tropico 5 is a great game, so 6 should be even better.

I have always been a pretty big MK fan, even from the very first I begged my parents for. So being at number eleven seems like such a long way, and it looks better than ever for me.

The first time I played this was actually on the Dreamcast, and admittedly I kind of hated it. I wasn’t a fan of the earlier games with the tank controls. I loved the stories but damn I hated those controls. This game tho looks great and has controls I like.

Last but not least, we have the game we all knew would be here, Kingdom Hearts 3. I enjoyed the others and won’t be missing out on this bad boy. After years of waiting for it tho, a lot of people will be disappointed I am sure. Either way, we will know, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dragon Quest 11 Coming to Switch, at Least in Japan

Porygon has reported that Dragon Quest 11 will be getting some upgrades and be released onto the Nintendo Switch. Fair warning tho, that link does contain a spoiler so please don’t read it without knowing that up front. It does list some of the changes but some of the changes also include a spoiler. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

My Top 5 Games of 2018

So its that time of year for everyone to start saying what they think the game of the year is. As a small blog obviously I have not played them all. So please don’t go nuts because I excluded your favorite game or there aren’t any Nintendo games, I don’t own a Switch. So in no real order, here are 4 games I played and 1 I did not but I will explain.

Spider-Man is the before mentioned game I never played but it made the list anyway. The reason is a number of my friends have played it and all agree it is amazing and @torstenvblog hasn’t shut up about it since he started playing it. I also watched my friend Elliot play it over on Twitch quite a bitch so I am confident to put it on this list.

Next up is A Way Out. The game may be short but the story is great, the gameplay is fun and the concept is amazing. What is even better is while the game requires 2 players you have 2 options. Couch Co-op or online, but only 1 person needs to own the game and that alone for me puts it on the list.

Monster Hunter World has a decent enough story and pretty good gameplay. Realistically it shouldn’t even be fun tho. You simply kill monsters to build better gear to kill bigger monsters and make new gear, to kill bigger monsters. It is a vicious cycle that never really ends. And yet, every time a friend says hey Savior how about you come help me kill stuff I get pulled right back in.

Jurassic Park Evolution Review is far from a great or perfect game, but for me, it was just a fun game. It let me do exactly what I wanted. Build a park, raise some dinos..let them rip some visitors apart. You know the true Jurassic Park experience.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Another Look. was always going to be on this list, you know that and I know that. You all know why it’s on the list. I won’t dwell on it for long. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Surviving Mars (PS4)

So during the sale on PSN I picked up Surviving Mars on PS4. I loved it on Xbox. Surviving Mars (Xbox One) So I really wanted to see how it stacked up, and this time I had all the DLC. If you want to know about the actual game please feel free to see my Xbox review. The game is pretty much identical, even the looks are quite comparable.

The DLC is also quite nice, giving you more options on what to build, songs on the radio. The DLC also adds a lot of great things and the tutorial is pretty nice. There is a small issue, in fact, this will be the first time I ever say to buy a game but to avoid a certain console. Do not buy it on the PS4. The game runs great, in fact, I really enjoy it. I did not, however, enjoy having to restart the game every time I wanted to play. See when I try to load a game, it would simply crash the game and I would have to restart it. This is apparently quite a common issue. While there are some workarounds the game has been out long enough this shouldn’t be necessary and while I love Paradox and their games, this one on the PS4 is best avoided. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

5 Favorite Game Series

I make the occasional list, and today’s list is simply 5 of my favorite game series. I know the picture says top 5, but they really aren’t in order. Let us have some fun.

First up is our friend Mario. I don’t talk about him much because I don’t own a Switch. But from the original Mario to Mario RPG and so much more I have loved so many of these games it is impossible for me to not have this on the list.

Next up is Mega Man, and I am counting both Mega Man and Mega Man X as one. Sure I loved them both and they are technically 2 different series with different characters but I would feel really dishonest to separate them that way. The blue bomber just had number 11 release as well as a few collections. Admittedly I only used this pic because I liked the gold number.

We all know how much I love BloodBorne review and that I have a love it hate it relationship with Dark Souls 2 Scholars of the First Sin But all in all this series, in general, has always brought me a certain kind of joy. I have logged hundreds of hours across them all and will probably sink more into it.

Dragon Quest is another series I have played since the very first all those years ago and even now with the release of 11 I am still playing it, without no doubt, I will be playing number 20 at some point. This turn-based RPG is a rock in the ever-changing sea of games that aren’t what they used to be.

Last but not least we have Final Fantasy. This is the opposite of Dragon Quest. See I have also played this since the very first one, but where Dragon Quest doesn’t change Final Fantasy is forever doing something new and innovating itself.  Between the 2 of them, the RPG’s of the past are in good hands.

So what do you guys think and what do you guys enjoy? Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Cooking Game-Master Chef Kitchen For Girls

The cooking game is a mobile game by Play Spirit Games with quite the simple concept. Cook food, sling soda and wait on customers. It looks pretty great and the sounds are quite nice as well. The game admittedly starts off pretty was. You can make a burger and one soda while customers come in one at a time, occasionally a 2nd will overlap a bit.

As you raise funds however you can upgrade to pour more soda, cook more burgers, toss toppings on them and need to handle multiple customers at a time. The game is challenging at times but fair, and while not really my kind of game fans of this style of game will surely enjoy this one. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Settlers Online

The Settlers Online is one of those rare in 2018 browser-based games, tho it did come out in 2011. The Settlers is honestly an odd game for me, I didn’t much like it but I wanted to. It is a typical builder game with wait periods and all. You will tame a wild island, battle enemies to ensure the safety of the people in your care.

It is essentially a pay to win game for mobile on your laptop tho less pay to win. The sad part is there truly isn’t a lot to even say about the game. The sound and graphics are nice, but nothing impressive and everything else about it is a standard city builder game set in a medieval time period. There are certainly better games out there and most are on your cell phone. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory/

Aftercharge Beta — Gaming with Noobs

So I was recently sent a key to participate in the beta for aftercharge from checking it out on steam the game puts you into 3 v 3 matches of search and destroy with being ramdomally thrown to the side of enforcer or workonics, those are what each side is called. Now I didn’t get […]

Super Smash Sells Fast, Surprising Nobody

As the titles states and as reported by Polygon and many others the new Super Smash game is the fastest selling in the series on the fastest selling console of this generation, and it should surprise absolutely nobody. Smash is the most popular fighting game in a system that has had very few and is full of the most popular characters gaming has ever seen. With the following, the series has and with the fact that the Switch is quickly catching up to the Xbox One which has been out far longer the only surprise would be if this didn’t sell more. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Idle Champions Of The Forgotten Realms (PS4)

Idle Champions is just what the name implies, an idle game. You pick a level and your characters will simply walk and fight monsters and collect gold. You can use that gold to recruit and upgrade your heroes so they do more damage. This will let you kill stronger monsters to collect more gold. This sounds like an odd choice for a console game sine with multiple screens on a PC you can let it play while you work or so other stuff and simply do stuff when needed, and I don’t doubt that is what people do.

The game does allow the player to attack with the Circle button. The faster you hit it the more damage you can do. This isn’t why the game is interesting tho. What makes the game somewhat interesting is the fact that where you position your heroes matters. Some give bonuses to everyone in a row, another has a higher attack if nobody is standing in front of him. These are just two of many examples.

At the end of the day, however, this is still a free idle game. Progress at times will screech to almost a halt if you aren’t willing to drop a few bucks. You can eventually get passed it since the game will continue to collect money while you are gone but it can take awhile. The game is fun in an odd way, but only for some people. It is, however, free, so it truly is no risk. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
