Humble Choice October 2024 Review – So Long and Thanks for All the Games.

October 4, 2024October 4, 2024 Kinglink1 Comment

I’m Kinglink and it’s October 2024. And this will be my final Humble Choice Review.

I mentioned at the end of the last video that I have been making Humble Choice Reviews for five years, as of September and so I’m making one last video for all of you. After that, I am not planning to continue the Humble Choice coverage on this channel. If you still want excellent reviews of the Humble Choice, please check out Stealthy Shiroen’s videos. I’ll try to add a card here, and a link in the description.

That being said, I still have to cover the Humble Choice October 2024 review, and you know what, this is ending with a major set of games.

One other piece of bad news, unfortunately there was an audio issue with at least with our first two games, the video won’t sound correct, however the audio did sound correct on my TV, so… There’s something going on but I don’t see any complaints about it so I’m assuming it’s a personal issue. There is enjoyable music still, but it’s lacking the central channel with the voice audio. I spent over two hours working on this. I’d work more on it, but with this being the last video. Ehh. we’ll live. These reviews have never been intended to be a Let’s Play, so check one of those if you want a better auditory experience.

Let’s get started with what’s on the screen.

Humble Choice December 2023 – This is what I’m looking for.

December 7, 2023December 6, 2023 KinglinkLeave a comment

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.

Humble Choice July 2023 Review – Two major Headliners

July 6, 2023July 5, 2023 KinglinkLeave a comment

Hello all, it’s just after July Fourth, which means it’s time for the Humble Choice July 2023 Review

First, thank you very much for all your well wishes last month, I am better and now I’m here to tell you about the new bundle.

I did an eight-hour stream on Independence Day, and now I’m ready to talk about what I think of each game, how they are, and which games are worth your time in checking out.

There are a lot of games so I’m going to just jump to the one already on screen.

Humble Choice February 2023 Review – Two massive Rpgs and a couple rogue-lites

February 10, 2023February 10, 2023 KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink and it’s the beginning of February so it’s time for Humble Choice February 2023 Review.

So we have 8 or 9 games to talk about this month with a minor bonus game. A lot of these games have been seen in bundles before, but before we get into that, let’s take a look at the titles first.

I’ve played each game on stream for an hour, and now can tell you how the game plays, what problems there are, and who probably will enjoy each game. With that said, let’s get on to the lineup with this title.

Game Pass December 2022 Review – Looking at the end of the year’s offerings

December 20, 2022December 20, 2022 KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink and once more into the breach… this is the December 2022 Game Pass Review.

As always, I take a look at everything that came out over the past month. We have sixteen titles this month, and that’s a good amount. There’s been some major releases, exciting additions, and a couple of great games. Since this series is focused on PC, that means we won’t be talking about Norco or Metal: Hellsinger but I have reviewed previously and console fans should check out Metal: Hellsinger, it’s a great musical FPS.

The rules are the same as always, a single night with each game, playing as much as I want and seeing how they are. The truth is this month I think the average time played was between two and three hours. I just wasn’t feeling as many of the games as in the past, but there still are some that I’m itching to get back to.

With that said, let’s start talking about the entries.

Dodgeball Academia Review – Retro AND Modern

September 6, 2021September 5, 2021 KinglinkLeave a comment

There has been a recent resurgence in all forms of media where creators want to repackage 90s nostalgia to sell to customers while doing minimal work. Whether it’s a classic television show. a popular movie, or just the aesthetics, this is a common approach to creating new content while not giving the audience anything new or different than the original content.

Dodgeball Academia could be in that category. It’s clear the game is heavily inspired by a classic NES title, Super Dodgeball and it would be easy for someone to create a clone of that classic game and sell it for twenty or thirty dollars.

That’s not what Dodgeball Academia is about. While Pocket Trap, the developers of Dodgeball Academia are fans of Super Dodgeball, Dodgeball Academia is more of a love letter or an homage to a classic title showing what can happen when nostalgia is only the first step of a project.

Disco Elysium Review – Demystifying the mysterious

October 15, 2020October 13, 2020 KinglinkLeave a comment

Disco Elysium is an RPG unlike any other RPG. This a fresh new take on the genre from Estonia. So can it really be a major change to the RPG genre?

RPGs tend to focus on repetitive combat between snippets of story, and many RPGs tend to overdo the combat as they think that’s what gamers want to see in an RPG. Perhaps they’re right, but Disco Elysium offers something different.

Disco Elysium Quest Teardown- A Different Kind of RPG

October 13, 2020October 13, 2020 KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink and this week… well, let’s do something different. Two weeks ago I broke down a single level of Titanfall 2. I enjoyed the process and I want to start to do more of that. So this week we’re talking about Disco Elysium.

The problem is this isn’t a level based game, it’s an RPG with rather strange and unique quests. There’s everything from a quest to get alcohol, sing karaoke, and find your badge, so obviously we can’t look at a level. But I don’t want to abandon the idea because Disco Elysium is really different, and I think the best way to look at it would be this style of dissection.

Evoland: Legendary Edition – The perfect game for an RPG fan

September 16, 2020September 15, 2020 KinglinkLeave a comment

Evoland: Legendary Edition is a compilation of two games called Evoland and Evoland 2. They are both by Shiro Games and the Legendary edition just combines them into a single executable. As such, I’ll talk about each game individually and review both games and combine them for the full package’s final score.

Evoland is a parody of the RPG genre while remaining true to that formula at the same time. It’s a rather hard game to review because it does so many things but quickly evolves away from most of them before they grow stale.

Humble Choice August 2020 Review – One of the best months yet

August 10, 2020August 10, 2020 KinglinkLeave a comment

I’m Kinglink and it’s time for a look at the August 2020 Humble Choice.

It is my birthday month, so I guess as a gift to me there’s a slight change this month, where subscribers at the classic and premium tiers get all 12 games. I think this is great, especially because I needed 11 games this month. It probably is limited to just this month of Humble Choice, but the good news is you can get them all.

There are a LOT of games, including a bonus game from last month, and three additional DRM free games, so we’ll get started with
