The Last of Us is a game that was known not only for its graphics, pushing the PS3 to its absolute limits when it was released, but also for its story, which was critically acclaimed. People fell in love with the characters known as Joel and Ellie during the duration of the game. The father/daughter bond they formed was groundbreaking and the extent to which Joel went to save Ellie was both empathizing but also incredibly controversial in that it asked a question, if it meant saving the world, would you let a loved one die in the hopes that a vaccine could be developed against a deadly disease that wiped out a majority of humanity? It is a question that absolutely makes you think, and one that considering the circumstances, absolutely made you empathize with Joel for what he did at the end of the first game. The game sold extremely well, to the point where fan demand for a sequel was made.
Okay, where to begin? I am legit having trouble knowing where to start when it comes to talking about Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition, it took me a long time to fully appreciate this game for what it is but appreciate it I do. Let me start out the gate by saying that the game is a masterpiece! Not only does it look amazing, but it plays every bit as good as it looks as well. This is one of those special games that hits it out of the park in just about all areas. Literally everything about it is top notch, aside from a few minor faults. More about that later.
What’s up everybody welcome to RealGamerNewZ. Today the new Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War has released on PS4, Xbox, and PC platforms with next-gen upgrades on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 as well. We’re playing on PC using high frame rate settings and noticing the many differences between this game and Modern Warfare 2019. For starters, there is far less recoil on the guns – virtually none in fact. The sound design is less realistic and the gameplay feel is ultra fast with less thought given to realism in the shooting, reloading, tossing of lethals, etc. to an interesting result. This game is very fun once you get used to it, but certainly a bit more cheesey and less skill based compared to Modern Warfare 2019.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare tells the story of today with real life guns, scopes, silencers, grenades, drones, air support, and more.Thereâs a full featured campaign story mode this year with a variety of multiplayer experiences including an all-new Ground War with tank battles, helicopters, and jets, Free-For-All, Team Deathmatch, Hardcore Mode, a brand new Realism Mode, Search and Destroy, a sudden death mode featuring revives called Cyber Attack, other limited time game modes, Hardpoint, and more!
For the first time ever, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gamers can all join the fight together in Modern Warfare.

This past week the first two maps of the Battlefield 1 expansion âTurning Tidesâ has now released. Also a new operation, new weapons, and new assignments have been added as well. But letâs get into the meat of this latest expansion in the latest Battlefield title.
Hello Neighbor is a very different type of game than you may have expected. Then again, being different than what youâre probably used to is also likely what brought you here in the first place. The sense of curiosity thatâs been known to kill the cat, or in this case the neighborhood vibe of a suspenseful Alfred Hitchcock film meets puzzle game and dash of Five Nights At Freddyâs fan conspiracy community sprinkled on top without the annoying parts. Itâs like Five Nights At Freddyâs for adults, but itâs so much more.
Set in the backdrop of a martial law setting, with so many makings of a good game in place â Maximum Games manages to rush out an incomplete product for the holiday season which was perhaps just another half of a year in the oven away from a good game.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild â The Master Trials DLC is the first DLC apart of the Expansion Pass. It is more of a simple DLC, giving you some armor and weapons, but the main draw here is the new Master Mode and The Trial of the Sword challenge mode. The question is, is it worth the asking price?
343 has hit us again with their second outing from their new take on the iconic Halo series. With this game probably seeing the biggest change in franchise history. The new story direction with Agent Locke as the main character, the new spartan abilities, and the new big mode of 24 played battling against AI, Halo certainly has changed.
The Legend of Kay is a game that is remembered by those who played it, especially on the PS2, as a cult classic of sorts; so much so that publisher Nordic Games had the game revamped for current generation consoles and PC in the form of The Legend of Kay Anniversary. Having never played the original, and barely even hearing of it; itâs no wonder I was going into this as a new experience rather than something I was already familiar with. Is it one of those classics that deserve to be remembered as one of the greats? Or is it one of those games that were probably better off being left untouched? These questions will be answered in the following review.
Back in 2011, a game known as Xenoblade Chronicles was confirmed for release in Europe. During that timeframe, there were whispers at the time that there were no plans to bring the game to North America. This in turn angered many of us here in North America, and in response to it, a group known as Operation Rainfall was born. Now Operation Rainfall actually broke the ice with two other games as well, but their primary target was Xenoblade Chronicles and we knew it for a fact.

One of the most distinct features of State of Decay lies in its punishment for mistakes. Sure, it takes a lot to get this to happen, so thereâs plenty of time to avoid it â but let your camp members die out in battle and theyâre gone for good.
The long wait is over, and itâs here, so how is it? Grand Theft Auto V runs on the PC like a dream come true. I played it once on the PlayStation 3, I played it again on the PlayStation 4, and now Iâm playing it on my Windows PC. Some may say âhey, wait a minute, this is just the same old game being re-released?â and thatâs not entirely true â however, I say to that itâs a testament to how good this game really is. When you play it over and over again you notice more and more care and love that was put into every piece of the title by Rockstar Games. It still stands high and tall above the quality of other games on the market even to this day, it has not been out-done in these couple of years in which it has seen release on the PS3 / 360, PS4 / XO, and now Windows PC platforms.
When we last left off, the Call of Duty Zombies experience was being re-invented through High Moon Studios and Sledgehammer Games very different approach to things. Now that Black Ops 3 has been announced and Treyarch is known to be making another installment to their world of Zombies, the pressure once again shifts back upon Advanced Warfareâs DLC packs as a new piece of Exo Zombies gaming is added with Ascendance. In addition to the second edition of Exo Zombies (entitled Infection), thereâs also four new multiplayer maps being added to the competitive online experience. We will go over each of these one by one as well before delving into what the newest chapter of Exo Zombies has to offer.
Xbox One Exclusive: At this time no other platforms DLC release date are confirmed. If you havenât already, go check out our CoD:AW Review to get a feel for where we rank the game overall in the franchise and genre at large. Outbreak is perhaps the most unexpected and now talked about piece of the Havoc DLC, so thatâs what this Review will mainly focus around. It is unclear at this time how many new Zombies maps will be released by Sledgehammer Games in total â so keep that in mind. That being said, so far their work is impressive.
Heroes Rise: HeroFall is an interactive fiction like no other. Continuing the saga of previous titles in the franchise, players are able to start fresh or load a save file from Heroes Rise: The Hero Project in this third entry into the series. In previous entries, a supernatural reality television series became the center focus as contestants with Infini Powers had to battle and vote their way through to the win. Things turned out a bit different than planned though, and some mysteries became uncovered as others sprung up.
Essentially this game is inspired by the IF (Interactive Fiction) genre of yesteryear which saw players typing their actions after reading about their circumstances and surroundings. However, a new twist is taken as a more intuitive interface has been introduced in the form of a multiple choice style graphic user interface. No more guesswork or reading lists of commands to take the magic away. Full immersion can be experienced now as players read, enter text at key moments, view their stats / achievements at any time, and select their decisions easily and simply with their mouse. For those who say they donât like reading, well thatâs fine â I used a program to read the text aloud to me!
Assuming you havenât read the previous interactive novels in the series, players start off by creating their character. Using a list of preset names, or typing in your own custom name, and selecting Male, Female, or âMy gender is more complicated than thatâ begins the journey through this title. After selecting this and a few other details about yourself, players are given the option to read a recap of what has occurred through the previous installments.
Once youâre all caught up, the real action begins. Or, at least a prologue to the action! Deciding what kind of hero you want to be ushers in the beginning of your journey. If you havenât figured it out by now, Heroes Rise is all about an ordinary person with extraordinary abilities rising from normalcy in order to make a change in the world. Beyond that, this hero (you as a player) is also on a personal quest to relieve the stigma placed on those who parented you and have been handed life sentences, in desperate need of redemption. Thatâs where you come in.
Making decisions as you go which can alter the fate of your character, engaging in dialogue trees which also give you freedom of choice, and deciding what to do with your rivals will define the integrity of the hero you play as. Through this definition of character the chance to redeem your parents and become a legend among the people is presented. Players must choose your actions, and who you place trust in very carefully in this road of twists and turns!
Heroes Rise: HeroFall fictional version of america in which some have natural born powers while others have artificially infused Infini Powers, and some citizens are just normal human beings. Those without supernatural powers often fear those who have these abilities, and that fear ends up being a catalyst with which a corrupt and evil regime seizes power and control of the country. The gameâs plot makes references to fictional events as well as touches upon real life events to speak about freedom versus control and the use of a fear culture. A major theme in this game is the battle between freedom vs security, a struggle for balance between the two always seems to be at the center of focus.
President Victon is imposing removal of powers from those who have them and is corruptly calling for the death penalty to many who may not truly as guilty as he makes it seem. Parts of the novel read like a standard book while others use the newly crafted multiple choice-based interaction evolved from the classic way IFâs work. Even furthermore, some parts of HeroFall challenge players in a more traditional IF style by forcing them to enter text which can reward or punish the character they are in control of based on how much attention theyâve been paying all along. Unique in-game talk adds a lot of charm to this fictionally world. For example the word âSluggerâ is often used as a cute sort of curse word.
IAP (In-App Purchases) are available in certain situations for those players who donât have in-game money left over from the last two novels, but they are not forced on the player who can instead choose other options. These IAP options being integrated donât take away from gameplay though, and allow an equally compelling experience whether you use them or not.
Final Verdict:
How do you define justice? will you take the easy way out ? or will you push it to the limit, this game will test your moral fiber. Overall, HeroFall presents an emotionally gripping tale that puts you on the edge and starts off packed with action keeping a steady pace throughout while tackling deep issues of bigotry, discrimination, hate, power, corruption, self discovery, and even love. I urge everyone who felt compelled enough to read this review to pick up the game now and play it. Even if you have to use a program to read the text out loud to you, this is an experience you donât want to pass up on. The way it activates your mind, entertains, and challenges players all at the same time is a one of a kind experience that shouldnât be missed.
Divinity: Original Sin is truly DIVINE! No, but seriously, it is a refreshing sign in a slow genre like old school RPGs. If you are looking for an Elder Scrolls type of RPG, then you will be disappointed. But, if you were lucky enough to enjoy Baldurâs Gate 2 way back when (in 2000) then you should be pleasantly surprised, as this is a modern version of Baldurâs Gate. Baldurâs Gate and Divinity go hand in and hand with a lot of their mechanics and that isnât a flaw or a disadvantage for Divinity. While the character creation isnât too extensive it does its job well. The gameplay and overall mechanics of the game are what makes it truly great though.
