Heavy Rain

 

Difficulty: 2/10

Duration: 16 hours

 

So first time playing these QTE interactive games and for the most part it was a fine experience. I had fun and it felt like I was watching some B rated murder mystery TV show. Though without spoiling anything.....there are some glaring plotholes in the story. Plotholes so large dump trucks could drive through. The characters were okay but some felt way undercooked and certain motivations didn't make sense once you thought about it. Honestly felt a lot of content was cut which would explain certain lack of character development and plot points. 

Difficulty wise this game is easy only 2 trophies may give you some trouble. Kamikaze and I'm not scared. Kamikaze because you have to follow a specific route and I'm not scared as you can't make any mistakes. I got the first one in 2 tries and there are plenty of guides. Second one was annoying only cause you are using the  sixaxes controls and it can be janky.

Overall, easy plat and short. Satisfied I got it done, maybe I might try Until Dawn next.

The Sinking City 

Platinum 62 

 

Apparently it was completely normal back in 1920's to make a cake of someone who recently passed away...so you all want a slice? I needed this kind of platinum, one that was really straightforward and simple as most of the trophies were story related. I like to thank the developers for not putting in any trophies like complete all "side cases" or "collect every collectible" or "explore the city to 100%" since this game is open world it probably would of taken too long and just dragged on. I believe the developers made the Sherlock Holmes games so if you're a fan of those games or even a fan of H.P Lovecraft stories then you would probably enjoy this game, the game isn't perfect and has flaws but it wasn't the worst thing I ever played.

Very nice visual design but sadly the control is awful. Highlight the boss fight with the Snake, very beatiful scene.

 

 

 

Nothing special but the bonus content was interesting

 

 

 

 

Short but a good platformer, it has a old school vibe

7th Fastest Achiever (2 days, 23 hours)

 

The first project developed by French indie studio, Hibernian Workshop, Dark Devotion is a middling and rather obtuse fusion of roguelite and soulslike. In this lethargic side-scroller, you're a young Templar knight, compelled to enter a tower full of inbred horrors, and must battle your way to the bottom of this hellhole for... reasons? I've long ago ceased to care much for the vague lore in these titles, but "god said so" is motivation enough, I suppose.

 

It made an exceedingly poor first impression on me, thanks in part to early game combat feeling godawful. Besides the weird control scheme (why waste two shoulder buttons for left/right rolling, when circle already rolls in the direction you're currently holding?), what few weapons you do have access to are painfully slow, expend massive chunks of your stamina bar, and do pitiful damage to your foes. I largely had to handle every enemy encounter in the same manner, by rolling through one of their attacks and hitting them in the back, before retreating to regain meter. Things improved after I unlocked faster armaments and a useful protection spell much later on, but not to the degree I had hoped for. Combat remains sluggish and simplistic throughout, with most weapons only featuring 2-3 different moves. At least you can cancel out of seemingly any attack by rolling, an ability which I found invaluable for survival.

 

Similar to Darkest Dungeon, the game also decides to inflict random curses and diseases on you at the worst possible moments, which doomed my run completely several times when I had no means to cure them. There's a "miss" statistic as well, meaning your attacks can fail to damage enemies if your stat is bad. I don't think these mechanics are very appropriate for an action game; it's super discouraging to get screwed over out of nowhere, at no fault of your own. Then, there's the horrendous mess of a map system. No details are provided about the current room, or your position in it, and it gives only a vague idea of where the exit doors lead. Lines extend from the doors to other parts of the dungeon, but I often had no idea which door I was actually passing through.

 

See, backtracking is almost always impossible in Dark Devotion. Once you go through a door, or drop down from a high ledge, it's likely you're committed to that path for the remainder of the run. These navigation issues are quite problematic in a game that requires exploration of every nook and cranny to locate important upgrade tablets and quest NPCs. It made me want to throw my hands up in frustration at times, until I finally wrapped my head around the complex layout. On the bright side, the game will always funnel you towards the end boss, regardless of the route you happen to take.

 

Upon your inevitable death, you lose every item you were carrying, and get whisked away by god to the somewhat uneventful hub area, where you'll be able to put the permanent meta progress you've made into use. Here, you can purchase new blessing skills, and forge any unlocked equipment, making the next attempt easier. Shortcuts will also reveal themselves over time, allowing you to drop right back into a later section of the dungeon. It's a pretty standard roguelite formula that works fine, but there's nothing exciting or fresh to speak of. It seems as if the variety of underdeveloped characters who occupy this space were originally intended to do and say far more, but time/money constraints prevented them from being fleshed out or something.

 

One element Dark Devotion does have in spades is atmosphere⁠—it's absolutely dripping with oppressive dreariness, to the point where I even felt fatigued playing it sometimes. This alone wasn't enough to save it from being a lackluster experience on the whole, however. Plenty of other games in this genre are more worthy of your time. If you want something with dark religious themes and far superior gameplay, go buy Blasphemous instead (no, I will never stop shilling for that game).

Platinum 279

Fun: 8/10

Difficulty: 3/10

Typically in games where there's a monster going through killing people you're the one trying to survive it, here in Carrion, you play as the monstrous mass of gore and teeth killing everyone. After breaking out of your containment unit, your skills are very minimum. At most you're just able to grab people and eat them. Later on, you'll be able to shoot web, grow armor, shoot out tendrils in several directions, and go invisible. Even after obtaining all of your skills, you can't use them all at once due to them being locked to how massive your creature is. The larger creature has more offensive skills, while when you're small, you have more stealthy skills to stay alive. This game is a metroidvania style game where you do have to revisit earlier areas to obtain collectables after gaining newer skills. The game is not too difficult and checkpoints do appear often. You pretty much just have to get all 9 collectables then beat the game and the platinum is yours.

This two games were as fun as I remembered them. I just miss an option to play the original of Klonoa 1, because I find the sprite/polygon mix of that version more charming than the fully polygon version of this collection.

"Assassin`s Creed: This time I`m a templar"-edition. I liked that this game connected so many of the other games (3,4, Freedom Cry, Liberation, Unity) but I hated the ship gameplay in the beginning and (only) tollerated it by the time I finished the game.

Nioh 

Difficult : 6.5/10 Solo , 3/10 co-op

Fun: 10/10 bring back memories

strategy to plat

first play the game with all sub and main mission with co-op but you need kill first boss by yourself in castle and second on ship you have to chose when you lvl 1 farming dead red sword for ( ochoko cup ) for summon random player cause you cant do any settings until you see the map

after you complete this part go companion with your friend and beat the whole game and make sure ( doing 6 twinlight mission + all dojo + all sub and main mission for trophy ( The legend of samurai) every day 2 mission will appear and 2 will chamge if you not complete the game depends on your skill my build is ( sword + Kusarigama ) its mean you need heart + skill + dexterity with body the magic it’s enough with 20 point & spirit 30

focus on other ( i am complete the game with my friend on way of the wise for build 32+ farming hayabusa in last dlc cause his build is amazing if you get res or green and make reforge to make it very strong about other thinks all is on your way kodama & hot spring to many youtube video explain what you need but the game depends 100% on your skills with souls game and very good reaction for dodge i am still try complete it 100% but i have wait another days for twinlight mission changed , that’s all happy hunting

I'm not a big fan of subscription services, and I'm not a big fan of the companies that offer them deciding to double-dip on games. Pllaystation Now and the old Playstation Plus had a long-running issue of games being offered on both at various periods in time, meaning that subscribers to both would receive games they likely already had played previously. One would have thought that this issue would have since been mitigated thanks to the revamped Playstation Plus being introduced - with Now being taken behind the shed to have its corpse repurposed for Plus' Premium tier - but that's hardly the case.

 

Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell was part of the old Now offering, leaving the service when it was terminated and not making the jump to PS Plus. Then, when it came time for Plus Extra + Premium's first monthly update, it was trotted out as a 'new' game for subscribers. Never mind that people previously subbed to Now had access to it for ages. So much for a 'new' addition, then.

 

 

But never mind, let's talk about the game. I'm not the biggest fan of Saints Row, but did play The Third upon release way back when as I was looking to scratch a GTA-itch inbetween the releases of GTA IV and GTA V. The first two Saints Row games supposedly had a more serious tone, but The Third was a load of slapstick stuck in a pretty soulless sandbox (and that's judging by standards as they were upon release). I had no interest in engaging with the later titles in the series, although I did go back to The Third's DLC in 2020.

 

After The Third came out, the series really divested itself from its semi-serious roots of a crime-centred sandbox as all of a sudden you played as the President of the US fighting off aliens in Saints Row IV. And then in 2015, Gat Out of Hell followed - a standalone expansion that sees you play as fan-favourite character Johnny Gat (or less-fan-favourite character Kinzie Kensington) as you descend to the depths of Hell to rescue the player character from the previous games.

 

'Standalone expansion' usually means 'this could and perhaps should just have been DLC', and I feel that describes Gat Out of Hell quite well. There's a thin veneer on it, a very minimal coat of paint of 'oh, a modern city but it's in Hell' with plenty of lava all around, but it plays exactly the same way as I remember Saints Row IV playing from the hour or so I invested in it on PC years ago. Reuse of powers, reuse of gameplay, reuse of other assets. I'm not too bothered as this simply isn't a triple A game series anyway (to me, it's one of the better examples of a double AA series, if you can call it that), but the original asking price for this particular title was probably a bit too high given how reiterative it is.

 

 

Not only does it heavily borrow from the previous game in the series, but it also has a bit of an issue regarding a lack of content. Reptitive missions dot the landscape, the story is minimal and mostly based on static drawings rather than cutscenes (a telltale sign of budget constraints), and the whole experience is over in a flash even with story missions being locked until a player has completed enough of the repetitive sidecontent. And what is there, is so little, that te Trophy list has not one but two Trophies to the same vehicle type ( Gnarly Wave and Are You Crazy?) 20ish hours I clocked, about on par with the estimate in the Trophy guide, of which three were just idling for a forced co-op Trophy.

 

Ultimately, not a very inspiring game which seems to be reflected in how low the average rarity across the Trophy list is; seems like player retention past the opening hours was a real issue, but of course, by then developers Volition and publishers Deep Silver already had your money. I suppose it's games like this that help make the concept of a subscription service make sense; not good enough to buy on their own, but when tossed into a game catalogue good enough to at least try out.

Platinum #99 Life is Strange: True colors

[Rick_Sanchez]

Platinum 280/281

Fun: Reading/10

Difficulty: Dark Souls of VNs/10

(unless you use a guide then it's 1/10)

Long Live the Queen has you playing as Elodie, the new queen of the kingdom due to her mother passing away. Now, I've completed this game on steam and got all the achievements there and I have to say, consoles got cheated out on a lot of trophies but that just reduces the amount of playthroughs needed. Each week you choose what subject Elodie studies which ranges from how a noble is suppose to act, how to dance, military strategy, economics, faith, etc. There's a lot of subjects you can put her skills into which plays into what she is capable of during the story. If you have certain skills to a certain range, you can pass checks when the story happens and gain insight to more on what's going on, how to save someone, avoid something, etc. Now my rating of Dark Souls of VNs comes from the fact if you make certain choices with skills not where they should be, you can and will die. Which will lead you to reloading a save (Save often) and studying other skills you lacked at that time. It is completely possible to get to a point where you have made every skill check so far, then something comes up out of left field that wrecks you and you can't skill check it with the time you have left from your recent save which leads you to having to make other choices or start from an earlier save. Yes I did text skip but again I stress I've completed this game before on PC with more playthroughs needed.
