Some chapters were better than others but overall I liked the game a lot.
I enjoyed the way the game forces you to make tough decisions.
Part of the appeal of the game is comparing other people's outcomes.
The game is pretty long for this type of game, so I can't say that I'll be jumping back into it for a second play through any time soon.
I'll most likely be spending my time now with Ni No Kuni 2 and trying to finish Persona 5.
State of Decay 2 is fun here and there but if I play it for too long the game gets way too repetitive for me.

My PSN: My PlayStation

This game was fun af. I was planning on getting the plat trophy but when I started to do the gummi ship missions earlier today I didn't think it was worth it. I did grind all the synthesis items and get my character to lvl 100 tho. Even completed the journal so I could get the secret cutscene at the end. By the end of the game my save had 220ish hours logged. boutta start chain of memories

If you pre-ordered The Final Walking Dead Season, you get this for free....so your getting 4 games for the price of £17 instead of spending £50 :hhh:

Season 1 is still GOAT :mjcry:
Season 2 is still confusing mess, barring the wellington ending :mjcry:

New Frontier when I play it again...is okay but it's still kinda meh as well and it can be done in one day if you really tried and I like Javi as well but he's no Lee:francis:

Michonne is okay since it's inbetween the battle with Negan and the 2 year timeskip in the comics, so Telltale were safe to use the comic characters for a standalone title. But it didn't matter since you knew Michonne was never in any danger and this was pretty pointless in hindsight..just a cashgrab. :yeshrug:

They removed the copyrighted songs from Season 1 & 2 and cut a few things out...because Telltale wanted more money and wanted to spend as less as possible.:stopitslime:
You see why they're losing money when there companies doing better jobs on the interactive story scene:yeshrug:

You're better off getting the old versions unless you want the updated graphics and the fact they're all in one bundle so you don't need to download them separately

#10 Extreme Exorcism
TM_WiiUDS_ExtremeExorcism.jpg

(Consoles and PC) - Metacritic 74
Approximate Play Time: 4 Hours


This was one of this month's PS Plus games and I love horror in general,especially 2D horror, so this caught my eye immediately. I bought another game called My Night job not long ago but was let down by it on that front.

it's not quite what I wanted but I had fun with it. I just wish more Indies would just give us some straight forward games with levels or worlds instead of having gimmicks or being arcadey. But I digress.

This one kind of straddles the line between arcade and normal game. You play through a house,with each stage being a different part of the house and 5 levels in each stage. But you are always doing the same thing in each level. Killing the same 1 enemy the game has. You get to a level and kill a ghost,then the next round begins and an additional ghost shows up. Each round adds another ghost but the catch is that ghost always copies your exact movement from the previous round. So if you pick up an assault rifle and start shooting everywhere the next round you will have to kill the ghost spraying an assault rifle everywhere. So it adds a lot of strategy to the simple concept as you're basically playing against yourself over and over and when you have 10 ghosts all going,all with weapons it can get pretty intense. There's a good variety of weapons and you can hold up to 3 at once. But again,the more you shoot the harder you're making it on yourself. You have to have a certain score in each level to progress until you play a final boss.


Overall I had fun,it was actually pretty addictive for such a simple gameplay loop. Considering I just wanted to give it a quick try and ended up playing through the whole thing is a testament to it.

7/10

#11 Locoroco Remastered
LocoRoco-Remastered.jpg

(PSP,PSV,PS4) - Metacritic 79
Approximate Play Time: 4 Hours


I never did play this or the 2nd one when it came out on PSP, Patapon either. I saw this and the sequel on a flash sale for a few bucks each and figured why not.

It's laid out like a typical platformer, the game has 5 worlds with 8 levels in each. Though to be honest the world's didn't seem to matter. Every world was made up of the exact same type of levels. A winter type level in each world etc. In fact near the end the game repeated itself so much,using similar music and level design.

I used the game as a pallet cleanser between gaming sessions,playing a couple levels a day. To be honest I don't think I would have played more than that ever. It's not a game meant for long sessions. The game is very much showing its handheld roots and meant for quick play sessions. Which is fine. The main problem is the controls. You use the shoulder buttons to tilt the world to move your character,on the handheld you tilted the screen. And it doesn't work out that well. Every level is really easy to beat but trying g to find all the collectibles required more precision and patience and I found myself being frustrated by how imprecise and clunky the controls were.

The one thing it has in spades is charm. It's oozing with charm,and even when you get frustrated it's hard to be mad at a game that had me smiling a lot at the quirkiness. Overall it was just an easy distraction in between playing Resident Evil games. I just wish it was better designed.

6/10
