howd you feel about this one? Didnt think anyone on this forum played it but me
I thought it was a decent little game.


Here's the review I dropped in the other thread


This was a PS Plus game I think in November and originally released on ps4 in Jan.

It is kind of a isometric hack and slack skash/twin stick shooter hybrid as you can and need to do both.

The hook of this game is actually quite cool. You are playing through a 1950s B film Sci if flick,while the director of the film does a DVD Commentary narrating.

This is bar none,one of the funniest games I've played. The director is a total sleeve bag and his stories about not paying staff,or just generally being a cheap piece of shyt always gives me a chuckle.

To best describe it,it's like playing through an ed wood film as he narrates.

It's quite a clever premise and serves the game very well. There's even a hook/twist in the final act that's pretty Damm good.


Visually they even have that rough 50's film grain filter to really drive it home. The characters and enemies are all straight out of a b film. It really nails this.


However,the game play itself is just merely serviceable. I think they knew that which is why they had to really dress it up.

You can upgrade your guns and melee weapons but it's not particularly deep or interesting.

You literally are scaling a huge tower throughout the whole game. At any point you can jump off and use your jet pack to land safely. The game has teleport docks scattered everywhere that you can travel to at any time. It also conrains pods as you can switch characters at any point between a robot a man and a woman.


Overall, I played through this in 2 sittings. It was around 5 hours and for the most part I enjoyed my time. Imaging housemarquee game play would have made this a must play.


As is its an enjoyable experience if flawed.

You just want me to beat Persona 4 :lolbron:


Ffxv is on ice until that game changing patch drops. I ain't wasting my time with an unfinished game and feeling short changed that I didn't experience the final and true vision.


I'm really addicted to taco master right now :russ:
It's the longest game on your list with the Witcher

:picard: how do u enjoy gaming like that? rushing thru everything to beat a record
Going for 50 last year made me love gaming more than I have in almost 10 years :ohhh:.

Tried things I normally wouldn't,seeked out different experiences for me got out if the play only the big AAA Games loop.

Ive never been a guy that can just sit with 1 game for months on end.

I need variety in my spice rack. There is way too many great games out there for me to dedicate my time to a handful.

I'm going to be taking my time with witcher 3. Gonna use it as my palette cleanser and hop on for an hour or so every night.


I'm a couple hours in now and I can tell if I try to push all my time into it I'm going to burn myself out.


I need that constant variety to keep things fresh for me.

Divinity original sin is taking up most my time.


Same idea on vita. I'm gonna touch basis with Persona 4 golden as I play smaller games.

So I'm tackling the big games but still going to keep a rotation so I can keep the thread updated more often :ehh:
