[Review] Resident Evil 6: One of the best.
Wait! Before you leave an angry comment, hear me out! I know the general consensus on whether Resident Evil 6 is a good resident evil game is rather mixed, but through its flaws, it is a really good game. I understand it’s not for everyone, especially those who want something more like an authentic survival-horror game, but it’s still a greatly satisfying experience for someone who wants to play a fun action-adventure Resident Evil game. What a QTE Mess. When I first started to play Resident Evil 6, I honestly didn’t like it all. The camera felt weird compared to Resident Evil 5 and I nicknamed it the “QTE Simulator”. This was during the Leon and Helena campaign where everything you did in the first chapter was pretty much doing a whole bunch of quick time events, and it made the game feel really awful. Fast forward in the game…
Game Reviews: “ICEY” and “Mitsurugi Hamui Hikae”.
ICEY Imagine Devil May Cry as a side-scroller. This is without a doubt one of the funniest hack-n-slash games I’ve played since Devil May Cry. ICEY doesn’t just give a satisfying gameplay, it puts you on really fun journey as you play through the game with the narrator’s direction. However, quick warning: Use the Japanese audio. It’s a must as the other language voice overs don’t really do the game justice. Likes: The music is quite good, but nothing really special. Very enjoyable hack and slash gameplay, but I can’t believe there was guns in the game and they took it out!! T_T They looked so freaking good. The artwork is very nice. I wish it zoomed in more on the protagonist because she is aesthetically pleasing to look at. Probably one of the only games I’ve played that does quick time events good enough. The game’s narrator is half…
VN Reviews: “CUPID”, “Her Lie I Tried To Believe”, and “Ambre”.
CUPID A romance visual novel you need to experience. CUPID honestly left me speechless. It was just so beautifully romantic and enticing. You can tell that it was aimed at a female demographic just from how elegant the story is. I think this only the second visual novel that has ever made me not want to stop reading it for any reason. I was always so excited to see what happened next. The mystery isn’t as simple as one thinks and it really gets you hooked. Not once while reading CUPID I thought, “ugh, I wish this character wasn’t here”. Not only is every character important, they’re all very likable and interesting. The artwork and illustrations are simply spectacular. They were all drawn with such a graceful art style, enough so that you’ll fall in love with the characters almost purely on art alone. The artist, credited as ‘ameliori’, should be…
Game Reviews: “AER: Memories of Old”, and “Skyborn”.
AER: Memories of Old My Relaxation Game. You play as Auk, a girl who can transform into a bird and fly through the skies. I just adore how relaxing and peaceful this is, and the music compliments the calming nature of flying through the skies. As the art style is very unique and colourful, it only makes the game feel much more like a work of art that you can immerse yourself into. I’m not personally all positive for polygon-style though, as it makes characters feel like they have less of an identify when they barely have faces. It feels like you’re interacting with static, faceless objects. I do enjoy the emphasis of exploration the game has. It’s really nice and rewarding, and the open world is huge enough to make finding new things an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately I don’t think this is a game I’ll ever complete for one…
