Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition Review

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.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Review

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.

Tower of Guns Review - RealGamerNewz

Procedurally generated arenas are faced by gamers in this roguelike first person shooter describing itself as having “bullet hell” attributes, which means so many bullets on-screen you barely know which to dodge and which you’ve fired yourself. The game features a loadout system allowing you to choose a gun and a perk before running into battle rather than starting off with nothing. Coins are collected as well as experience the latter of which is used to upgrade weapons during a given instance. Weapons are increased in a variety of ways including spread and damage value. Coins though must be spent in a more discerning way as there are various power-up purchases available throughout each level. These can effect a character’s speed and other attributes.

White Knight Xbox ONE Review RealGamerNewz

A newly released indie style game developed OSome Studio for publishing firm Activision, White Knight takes place in the 1930’s, the same decade as the great depression. Being that it is in that era players get a Noir feel for the game with the old school hats and suits – more or less everything in the game right down to the decoration in the house the game takes place in. During your time in this house you must survive. Yes, another curve ball is thrown. Not only do you get the Noir feel for the game but it is also a survival horror puzzler game as well. While in the house you uncover clues of what seems to be a spirit or ghost named Selina. Do something wrong or open the wrong door and Selina will end you.

Ori and the Blind Forest Xbox One Review RealGamerNewz

An impactful journey begins with a heart-wrenching narrative in which the cycle of life and death are prevailing themes. Players discover more about how to play as this cycle becomes better understood. Each part of the environment, which may at first seem unapproachable, ends up serving its own purpose in this nearly perfect ecosystem of gameplay design. From a team of developers called Moon Studios collaborating across the world (with members in Israel, United States, Australia, and more) and thanks to the blessing of high speed internet telecommuting, Ori and the Blind Forest lands on the Xbox ONE and Windows PC (via Steam) gracefully showing off Microsoft’s ability to spot a diamond in the rough and propel beautiful visions to the spotlight. Much as the team coming together to make this game, the harmony of each element it consists of reveals itself and the full experience is formed with clarity.

If you haven’t 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.

Game of Thrones Episode 1 – Iron From Ice Review

th

When reviewing a game by TellTale, it is very easy to review Game of Thrones by the sum of its parts but, not by what it was “designed” to do. In order to not fall into that trap, one must look at TellTale’s past to judge the game based around the literary/HBO juggernaut Game of Thrones. Now full disclosure, I have not read any of the books but I am caught up on the television series so if there are any inaccuracies or assumptions it will stem from the deviations the show took from the book.

Over the weekend I was fortunate enough to get my hands on Tales From The Borderlands for Xbox One thanks to our PR contact at Telltale Games. I was quite excited to get my hands on this game, as I have played all of the previous Borderlands games and I enjoyed playing through The Walking Dead from Telltale Games as well. While you don’t need any prior knowledge of the previous Borderlands games, it doesn’t hurt to have played them before. All the hilarious dialogue and quirky Borderlands moments still come out, even though you aren’t going around guns blazing this time.

Sunset Overdrive Review - Xbox ONE

It’s hard to describe this game as a whole, it’s as if Insomniac Games decided to mix several awesome games together and make an even ‘awesomer’ game. Welcome to the Awesomepocalypse, where we make up words and life isn’t nearly as boring. Sunset City has been taken over by some of the weirdest mutants of all time and the culprit behind it all? An energy drink. Sunset Overdrive combines some awesome gameplay mechanics, with an entertaining story, interesting art, and some awesome customization. It’s a game that takes away from other games, but still manages to hold it’s own and it stands tall.
