[VN Review] Highway Blossoms – A Visual Novel Saved By Its Voice Acting.
It has its highs and lows. I was honestly not sure how to rate this. On one hand, the player is treated to a quite a boring story, however, the characters and voice acting redeemed it so much that it’s hard to give the visual novel a bad score, or just flat out not like it for that matter. This review is mostly spoiler-free. There is one spoiler, but I’ve highlighted it so you can avoid it. Loves/Hates: Lovable Characters Emotional Gorgeous artwork/illustrations Amazing voice acting Uninteresting story Feels padded with filler Cliche Story Highway Blossoms is a kinetic romance visual novel featuring two characters, Amber and Marina, who meet each other in the desert after Marina gets stuck there. But Marina isn’t there for any reason, she’s there because she’s on this hunt to find treasure buried by someone, and she’s not the only one…
Humble Choice: Why I Can’t Support Humble Bundle Anymore.
The result of IGN’s 2017 acquisition starts to show. Yesterday, Humble Bundle announced that they’re converting their Humble Monthly subscription programme to Humble Choice. Humble Monthly traditionally worked like a loot crate. It gave you a bunch of mystery games for a reoccurring subscription fee but showcasing and giving you at least one major game to play right away for that month. The rest of the games would be locked until they are revealed after the last day of being able to sign up for a month’s respective bundle. Now, Humble Bundle is doing away with the original, straight-forward subscription plan and has now given us four tiers of Humble Monthly…oh, wait, I mean Humble “Choice”. (눈_눈) Thus adding confusion to what was initially a simple subscription process. Benefits? Well, honestly…there’s next to none. One of the new “benefits” of Humble Choice is…
New Intense ‘Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’ Trailer Sets The Story’s Tone.
I know I shouldn’t get super excited, but it’s getting really hard to. EA released a new trailer video for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order featuring protagonist ‘Cal Kesitis’. The trailer shows us what to expect from the game’s campaign, and wow, it looks like it’s going to be a phenomenal, high-stakes adventure. I know I didn’t really have to make a whole article for just one trailer, but if you didn’t already know: I’m pretty hyped for this game. And this masterful trailer that set the tone of the game’s story made me not able to resist. Plus, I’m going through some strong hypergraphia so it also works out for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We get another look at Jedi Fallen Order’s Dark Souls-esque combat, different from the game’s spiritual predecessor; Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Previously I didn’t know really know who this…
Hori’s Official Mario Kart Racing Wheel Is The Stuff Of Dreams.
Imagine using it to play Mario Kart Tour. Hori, known for their game accessories and peripherals, is making officially licensed Mario Kart racing wheels for the Nintendo Switch. There will be two different versions, one looking a bit more on the ‘casual and kiddy’ side, while the other one looks more geared towards hardcore racing sim fans. Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but this comes after the hot launch of Mario Kart Tour, which I’ve tried, but not extensively enough to give my thoughts on it yet. And don’t worry if you don’t have a Nintendo Switch because it’s apparently going to work on PC as well (not so sure about other consoles). Features also include: Joy-Con and Pro Controller functionality to play with other games. Remappable buttons. Adjusters for Deadzone (and “Reality”?), that serve to fine-tune steering. Only works in dock mode. Clamp and…
