Overcooked Review

I feel like there is an unknown genre of games. There is a lot of variety in the genre but they all have a central theme they share. If you’ve seen the name of this review then you might guess that I’m talking about Cooking games. For me, the big games I’ve played in this genre is Cooking Mama, Cook Serve Delicious, and Overcooked. I’ve reviewed Cook Serve Delicious, and today I’m going to look at Overcooked.

Ruiner Review

Ruiner came to my attention during the Devolver Digital Press Conference in 2017. It’s one of my favorite press conferences of all time and is worth a watch as it’s brilliant comedy. During the conference, two games were shown with Ruiner being one of them. It wasn’t a serious press conference so that game can’t be real, right?

It’s very hard to look at Portal Knights and not see Minecraft. Minecraft has done quite a bit to put its mark on gaming in the past nine years, and almost any game that has blocky graphics draws the comparison. Portal Knights has that same style of blocks, and so I feel it’s only expected to be compared to Minecraft and how it improves or changes on the formula. That’s where we begin looking at the third and final Humble Bundle Monthly title for July 2018.

Hmm, Blackwake. So we’re talking about an Early Access Multiplayer game about being pirates? Interesting. Well, it’s unlike most Early Access games in that there’s no food and water foraging in the game, but we’ll have to see how it is outside of that. While others are talking about Skull And Bones, and Seas of Thieves, I’m looking at the second of the Humble Monthly July 2018 early unlock.

So a new month has started, and as such, I look to the Humble Monthly Bundle for a few games to review. This month there are three early unlocks, Heart of Iron IV, Blackwake, and Portal Knights. That’s a lot of games to look at and they’re quite diverse. We start with Hearts of Iron IV, mainly because it was listed in that order.

“Let’s play something completely different.” Oh, those words. I say them entirely too often, but it’s also one of the reasons I think I have an interesting list of reviews. I don’t know why, but I try to avoid only playing AAA titles, and looking at my list I’ve done a fantastic job. But I like to switch between an “AAA” title and an indie title. Well, I don’t think they get much more indie than I Am Bread.

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is the fourteenth or fifteenth Traveller’s Tale Lego game, depending on how you want to count The Lego Movie Videogame. I’ve actually played every single Lego game up to this point, with the exception of Lego Star Wars 3. Something about these games speaks to me. Whether it be the gamification of Legos, or the Legoification of movies, or just the simplistic gameplay to see what might happen next, I’m there. So let’s see if Lego can keep this train running after all these titles.

E3 2018: Day Two

Aside Kinglink1 Comment

So Day 2 arrived, instead of an 11 o’clock start time, it was now a 9:00 start time. That’s two fewer hours of potential sleep. Yet there I was at 8:40 ready to tackle the second day. I knew I had to do either Nintendo’s booth first or Kingdom Hearts 3. I chose Nintendo’s and […]
