Merry Wednesday Eve, everyone! Make sure you leave milk and cookies out for Odin tonight so that Tuesday will end properly!
Leading the charge this week is actually something what snucked out last week, which is appropriate because it's the remasters of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 (either individually, or as part of a three-pack with the original game), and that works as a statement because Crysis is a first person shooter where you get to be the Predator! Or at least a legally distinct invisible super hunter not affiliated with 20th Century Fox. Neither Crysis 2 or 3 had the reputation of being difficult to port, nor requiring an uncommonly powerful PC to run so... either they're better programmed or they kind of suck from an auio/visual standpoint. I don't know; don't think I ever played them
BUT I DID PLAY THE FIRST! And liked it a lot until I reached a point where I got stuck and gave up!
The Dark Side of the Moon is one of those crafty video games that disguises itself as a movie! It's oen of those Mr. Payback style movies where you sometimes get to pick what happens in the movie when you watch it! No longer will you have to sit idly by why the hero of your film proceeds to bumble about like a damn fool; as you can tell him not to do a thing!
Anyway, the movies about a dad who got kids what got spaceshipped.
Dying Light is a game about zombos, and the brave men and women who take it upon themselves to explode them all, while dealing with the REAL zomboys; people who aren't zombies! You know... because of social commentary and the like. I think it's an open worldy game too? This release has all the DLC, so if plain-jane regular Dying Light didn't have quite enough guns or skin types.
S'got co-op I guess, there's that too.
Yup, things are looking pretty good for all those Dying Light fans out there.
The Caligula Effect 2 is definitely a JRPG; the description implies it's one of those "everyone is stuck in a VIDEOWORLD" kind of things, but everything is kind of vague so I'm only making educated guesses here.
It's probably a sequel to The Caligula Effect, if that helps you any?
Oh thank goodness, a game I can immediately understand and not be punished for my lack of research; Spectacular Sparky is a side-scrolling shoot-em-up with some kind of robo-rabbit thing, and it's from those rat finks at Nicalis.
Jars is a reverse tower defense-em-up which I infer kind of has some Wrecking Crew in it, where you get a team of bugs slapped together and assign them the important job of smashing jars and holding off defending monsters. Once again, the description is kind of not adequately explaining things for me, so inferences are all I can offer you!
B.A.T.S is another side-scrolling platformer, but this one has an important distinction in that all the playable characters are DRACULAS, and they're all fighting their natural enemy; a whole bunch of The Mummys!
Look, I know when I'm being pandered to and I am and... sometimes it works, y'know?
Evertried is a puzzle-chopper starring a little bones-boy tasked with clearing a whole whack of floors worth of MONSTER DUNGEON using careful movement and luring critters into death traps. The description is really trying to make it sound like "turn based combat" and "roguelite elements" are completely novel concepts.
And speaking of roguelites starring SPOOKY BONE BOYS, we have Skul: The Hero Slayer! Which is about a little skellyman who can turn into OTHER munsters by swappin' noodles with 'em! Like Kid Chameleon himself, back from the dead. The trailer looked *pretty spiffy*, and I got some Dead Cells vibes form it, so I'mma keepin' a peeper on this.
Yumerie is yet another game I am simply at a complete loss to comprehend, but to be fair, that's by design this time. It's a weird dream logic RPG/visual novel about a guy dreaming about a gal and... sometimes... fighting abstract concepts in RPG battles?
It's one of them games about having emotions like "melancholy" and "sad"
But with more fighting bell peppers.
And I guess that's all? Go Team!
