I’m Kinglink and it’s past the first week of May, so it’s time for a Humble Choice May 2024 Review.
This month we have two headliners, and the first game is from my favorite series, so I’m ready to go. I’ve played all the games for an hour on stream, and one of them with the viewers as well. Now I can tell you what the games are like, how they play, and if you might enjoy them.
There’s a lot to get through but I can’t wait to talk about the game already on the screen. Let’s get started!
I’m Kinglink and it’s after April 1st, and that means it’s time for the Humble Choice April 2024 Review.
While a lot of people fell for the fake Humble Choice list, this list is not a fool whatever that means. This is the actual list of games in the Humble Choice, and while it won’t match the fake list. This one has a lot of hidden power behind it, for the right player.
But before we get into looking at the entire bundle, Let’s talk about what each game is about, who will like them, what’s good, and what’s bad about each offering. I’m also going to start adding a link to the stream, for people who think the clips here are not long enough, I agree, but if you want 8 hours of me looking like a goober while playing games, there you go.
Let’s start with what’s on the screen.
I’m Kinglink, it’s March, so it’s time for the Humble Choice March 2024 Review.
Once again I’ve streamed each game for an hour on Twitch and if you watch you probably know what I’m thinking but if not, I’m ready to let you know what’s hot and what’s not about each title, as well as if you should check them out, and who should play them.
We have 8 games, as well as a mega-hit that hasn’t gone for that cheap before. I also have a bit of history with two games, but it’s a pretty high-power month. Let’s get started with what’s already on screen…
I’m Kinglink in the shortest month, which means it’s time for the Humble Choice February 2024 Review.
Now this is a great month with several huge titles and a lot of value, but I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ve done an 8-hour stream on Twitch, played through these games, and I’m also familiar with four of them due to previous experiences, so I’m ready to talk about who will like these games, why you should or shouldn’t check them out, and who they are going to appeal to.
With that being said, let’s start with the title already on screen, a game I fully played through on Xbox Game Pass, and that means I’m a fan.
I’m Kinglink and last month I joined Retroachievements as an official developer, which means I can make achievement sets for pretty much whatever I want and there’s minimal oversight. It’s a great freedom for the developer and makes me feel like I’m part of a larger team or group, and that means I can try to develop interesting achievement sets.
But that’s not the end, it opens up a lot of doors, and one of those doors is the ability to participate in what’s known as DevJams. DevJams are a way to focus on a single system, especially systems that never had an official launch on the site, and try to work together to develop as many achievement sets for those games.
As this video comes out it’s the Sega Saturn’s turn, and honestly… I don’t have much to say about the Saturn, well I can say one thing, I think I’ve only ever seen one or two Sega Saturns if that and I’m definitely sure I’ve never seen one actually set up or running. That’s not super surprising, the console never sold well, like two million units in America. And the fifth generation was dominated by the PlayStation and even after that the N64 was everywhere, so I’m not surprised.
But I don’t want this to be a discussion of the Sega Saturn, a console I’ve really never seen, this is more a discussion of the games, and I have two amazing titles to talk about, there are technically three games in this video though.
I’m Kinglink and… ugh… Dynasty Warriors 9 is so … meh.
There’s something I’ve been struggling with for the last half of 2023, and while it’s older than that time period, I think Dynasty Warriors 9 is an example of it. It feels like games have been made to be more disposable. More designed to give you dopamine hits for enjoying it but also able to shake you off and make you go play the next thing the company produces before long or designed more with microtransaction than quality in mind. Nothing radically improves, and especially with sequels, there’s this feeling of average games being treated as great milestones because the fans want them.
But also not in Dynasty Warriors 9’s case. Oh boy no, Dynasty Warriors 9 is a perfect example of something much more problematic. It’s a sequel that simply isn’t as good. A sequel that tried something different, and has not found more than a couple of fans. And because of that… it just made me want to go back to where I first fell in love with the series.
I’m Kinglink and I want to wish you all a Happy New Year, which means it’s time for the Humble Choice January 2024 Review.
With it being a new year, it means Humble has a chance to start this year off with a bang, and I think this is an interesting bundle. There’s going to be a lot of strong opinions on this one and that’s going to revolve around the titles.
As usual I’ve played all of these titles for an hour, and once again I was able to do an eight-hour stream. No, I didn’t spend an hour staring at the Dr. Strange Model… I probably should have compared it to a couple of these titles.
But let’s get started with the game already on screen.
I’m Kinglink and I just finished off the turkey from Thanksgiving, so that means it’s time for the Humble Choice December 2023 Review.
This month we have 8 games and more. So last month I forgot to mention there was a 1 month DC Comics subscription, apparently I wasn’t alone because it’s back this month and now it’s in the list of games. Just want to mention it because I probably will forget it later.
I’ve done an eight-hour straight stream, checking out these games, though honestly, I didn’t need all that time. I’ve played over half of these previously, many on Xbox Game Pass, and now have a chance to take a second look and cover them in this series. So let’s get on with that right away.
Hey all, Kinglink here, I know it’s not the beginning of the month but I’m actually here to talk about one of my favorite games. And right here is where I first remember playing it.
And… ummm… I can just.. Pop it in… Nope… Ummm How about.. Ok. So maybe if I …
Ok maybe it’s the box, just put it on top.. So… This might be a problem …. And not just because I don’t remember where I put the actual Activision Anthology disc. Not like this would work on a PC but… the good news is we can go back to a video I did a couple of years ago, about our old friend Emulation. And before anyone asks, no this week’s game isn’t on Steam in any form I know of. Sadly… However thanks to PCSX2 we can look at this game and … oh boy.
I’m Kinglink it’s November 2023 so it’s time for the Humble Choice November 2023 Review
I’ve had a chance to do an eight-hour straight stream of the titles this month as well as having a lot of previous experience with three of them, so I’m here ready to tell you what I think of each title, what they’re like and who should check them out.
There’s a ton to talk about so let’s start with a title I already owned.
