Vroom Kaboom is a tower rush game with cars that go fast and cause a lot of destruction in their wake.

That’s the basic rundown, time to drive into the review.

We Happy Few Real Gamer Review

We Happy Few is a game that I have personally been very interested since it was shown off years ago at E3. It had that very weird feeling that a game like Bioshock can give you but was also seemingly new and unique, at least from a visual and story standpoint. It started as a Kickstarter project that gained traction fast, then was picked up by Gearbox for publishing rights. Now the game has been in early access on the Xbox preview program since mid-2016, but I have not played that build of the game, so I can’t speak on it.

Wreckfest Review

Wreckfest comes from Bugbear Entertainment, a developer that has been around for 16 years and is no stranger to making car games. They are the developer of FlatOut, FlatOut 2, and FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage. They also created Ridge Racer Unbounded as well. Wreckfest has come a long way since originally starting development in 2012 and marketing shortly thereafter as “The Next Car Game”.  The project gained much attention and Bugbear started off its release path on Steam Early Access with November 20, 2018 recently set as a release date for Xbox One and PS4.

Dead Cells Review

Dead Cells is a rogue-like Metroid-vania style game developed by the studio Motion-Twin. So this game features procedurally generated areas which is something new to the genre of Metroid-vania since it’s usually all about remembering the layout of the map, finding secrets in it, and back tracking to older areas to unlock newer areas. Dead Cells throws all of that on its head with making everything well randomized. Survive long enough and you can play it like Metroid, but die and it’s time to start over. Sure, some of the areas are pre-designed, but they are constantly randomized, so you will never know where to go next whenever a new life begins.

Guts and Glory (Nintendo Switch) Real Gamer Review

Guts and Glory is a port of the popular PC title by HakJak and tinybuild Games. While the PC version is well-known for its vast amount of community-driven levels and being a generally good game to laugh at, this version is funny in all the wrong ways. This review serves to review the game’s base concept and the quality of the port itself, which is sadly quite poor unlike other recent tinyBuild games which have been excellent such as GARAGE: Bad TripGraveyard Keeper, and Outpost Zero.

Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition Review

H2x1_NSwitch_MinecraftNintendoSwitchEdition

Minecraft is basically on any device you can ever think of, but I have always found the handheld versions lacking in comparison to it’s PC and Console counterparts. Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition promises a modern Minecraft experience at home, and on the go, so does it deliver, and is it worth the $29.99 price tag?

Blue Estate PS4 Review

Blue Estate PS4 Review RealGamerNewz

Blue Estate is an on-rail shooter that just released for the Sony PlayStation 4 and uses the DualShock 4 controller’s built-in gyroscope (motion sensor technology) to allow players to aim their shots. This does not require the PS4 Camera. With a story that goes out of its way not to take itself too seriously, and unexpected arcade fun thrown into the midst of intense gun fights, this game is one of the better on-rail shooters seen in a very long time. There are still ways this game could have improved though, of course. One nagging feature in particular was the inability to re-calibrate the gyroscope from the Pause Menu.

Angry Birds: Star Wars PS4 Review

Angry Birds: Star Wars doesn’t exactly contain a story or plot-line, but it does fine enough without one. Of course, any sort of Star Wars story would have had to be perfectly in line with lore behind the series as to appease fans almost OCD-like obsession with the source material while at the same time fitting the simplicity of being applicable to the genre of game this is, so that would have been extremely challenging for Rovio Entertainment to incorporate anyways. That being said, it sure wouldn’t have hurt to have some reason why you were doing these things other than the sheer fun of it.
