One Day I'll Figure This Out

I like to talk about video games and other things

Home Alone

    The first thing I found out about this game was that it was created by the same company that created Skyrim and other popular games. I thought that was funny, but anyways, this is a side scroller game and is single player. So you run through your house trying to escape robbers and that's all there is to the game.

    Now, you get to pick up these weapons. There is a spider, a light bulb (I think), a circle thing, and more. You can set these traps to stop the robbers in the house. You can also hide in different hiding spots so that the robbers won't spot you. I'm not sure how you would know where the spots are, but they are there. After you trap the robbers you beat the game.

    There is only one level to this game, but I didn't finish it. The hiding spots are too hard to find, sometimes the traps didn't work, and the music was horrible. I know the game is very outdated, but there are plenty other NES games I would have rather played.

Super Mario 3D World

    This game is so much fun. It reminds me of Super Mario Bros. 2 because you can choose between Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad. The story is simple, but to me that's not important. The game shines in its gameplay.

    The game is fun, huge, and overall an enjoyable experience. It's fun to play alone, but even better to play multiplayer. In fact, I have only played the game alone a couple of times. 

    The controls are very simple to understand, especially when it comes to the new cat suit. The cat suit is one of the best things about this game. It's cute and fun to use. 

    There is not much else to say about this game. If you are hesitant about the WiiU I would suggest you to get this game first. You won't be disappointed.

The Wolf Among Us

    This game is GOOD. It's ruins every bit of your childhood, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. All of your fairy tale characters like Beauty and The Beast are modernized. Your character is The Big Bad Wolf trying to be good. Again, I won't ruin the story because it is a murder mystery and it is worth playing. 

    The way you play this game is kind of similar to Beyond Two Souls, except your decisions will drastically alter the game. The mood of the game is dark. The game contains mature content, so it's not for younger audiences.

    The one thing about the game that bothers me is that it is released by episodes, and these episodes don't come out regularly. We will have to wait for a while. There are two episodes out right now and I would highly recommend playing them. The story will draw yo in, but leave you hanging and wanting more.

Mario and Luigi Dream Team

    When I first bought my 3ds, it came with this game. The only Mario RPG I ever played was Super Mario RPG and that was years ago. I never got into the Paper Mario series, so I didn't really know if I would enjoy this game, but the game is actually pretty good.

    I feel like this game is looked over and deserves a little more attention. It's funny and fun to play. It is a turn based RPG, which I love, with a twist. You have the chance to dodge your enemies, which makes the game fun. 

    The game looks nice too. It takes place on an island that is supposed to be a vacation place for Mario, Luigi, and Peach, but of course Peach gets kidnapped. I haven't finished the game yet, but I have been enjoying it.

    Now, what I don't like is the dialogue. There is so much of it. I play the game and I'm mostly reading. Sometimes, I don't play that long, because there is so much to read and I get annoyed. This may not be a problem for most people, but to me it feels like every five minutes there is a tutorial. 

    Overall, the game is fun. It's fun to play, Mario and Luigi are funny, and it looks great in 3D. The only issue is that there is too much to read.

The Impossible Game

         This is a game that I heard about from one of my classmates. I watched a YouTube video of this guy raging through the game, so of course I had to try it. The game is for this purpose only. 

    You are a block, and your only objective is to jump over the obstacles. The game sounds simple enough, but it's not. The obstacles come so fast sometimes that is is almost impossible to dodge, but then you get angry and try over and over until you finally break your computer. No, that's a joke, but it will get you very angry.

    The best thing about this game is the soundtrack. It's awesome. When everything is calm, the music is calm, but when everything gets hectic, the music gets exciting. This can be a little distracting. The music always gets me excited and I jump a little too early.

    This is a good game to play when there is nothing to do. Keep it on your phone and play it on the bus or while waiting for an appointment. Or, you could just play it for the music.

Banjo Tooie

        Does anyone remember Rare? Before They were what they are now? Well My cousin found a copy of Banjo Tooie for the N64 and I jumped at the chance to play it. And this game reminded me why the N64 was so amazing.

    First off, the overworld for this game was HUGE. It's almost overwhelming. Getting the chance to explore, find different ways to get to different worlds, and finding secrets was amazing. This is something that I feel a lot of games nowadays are missing.

    The game was funny, the characters had tons of personality, and I had a great time playing it. This game has aged well over the years. I feel that the atmosphere is beautiful. 

    This is a game that gives so much to explore that you almost forget that it's just a collect-a-thon. I loved it and I can't wait to finish playing it.

5 Days a Stranger

         This game is amazing. It has the most interesting mystery that I have played in a video game in a long time. Honestly, this game kept me entertained from beginning to end. 

    The game looks like an NES game, but it's a free downloadable game for the PC. The developer, Ben "Yahtzee" Crowshaw created the Chzo Mythos, which includes this game, 7 Days a Skeptic, 6 Days a Sacrifice, and Trilby's notes. 5 Days a Stranger is first in the series, but all of the games are most definitely worth playing. 

    This game is a point and click game. When I first started, this put me off slightly, but was quickly forgotten about. You play as Trilby, an infamous cat burglar. During the whole game, you are trapped inside of a house with 4 other characters. One by one, someone is killing off the crew, but there is more to it than that. 

    The atmosphere of the game is incredibly creepy. While you are playing, there is no music, but there is a creepy whispering that sends chills up your spine. When the music kicks in, you know something is about to go down. 

   I would definitely recommend this game to everyone. It's not long, takes about an hour or two to finish, and it's amazing. When I think about the game, it makes me want to play it all over again. This game shows how important a story is over fancy graphics.

My Beyond Two Souls Review

     I started this game this week and finished it today. This game has an interesting story, but I want to try to keep this spoiler free so I won't get too in depth with the story. I will say it is about a girl named Jodi and this entity that she is attached to her named Aiden. The games follows her life and hardships with Aiden from when she was younger to when she becomes an adult. The game does not follow a particular order. It leaps back and forth in her life, which starts off a little confusing in the beginning, but you get used to it.

    The gameplay focuses mainly on the choices you make. You can select different decisions for Jodi and they lead to different consequences. The consequences do not have as much as an impact as other games similar to it, but they slightly alter the story. 

    Another aspect of the gameplay is controlling Aiden. With Aiden you can possess people, heal people, and assist Jodi in different activities. This, I believe was one of the best parts of the game. In certain parts of the game, Jodi has to complete stealth missions that Aiden must assist her with. These parts of the game aren't too hard, but they are fun.

    The story itself is pretty good. There were parts of the game that made me feel sorry or happy for Jodi, but not as much as I thought it would. The game is emotional, but it didn't get me as much as people told me it would. While the story had great twists, and the characters were pretty good, I just feel like they were just good and not great.

    In the end, Beyond Two Souls is a good game, but that's all it is. It wasn't amazing, but it was good enough for me to see it to the end.The game has a good story, good characters and is memorable.  Will I ever replay it, probably. I would recommend people to play it, because a lot of people enjoy it.
