Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

After playing through the first, second, and third installments, the usual formula starts to feel a bit worn out in the fourth installment, “Black Flag.” Many gameplay elements are already familiar, but they translate very well to the pirate setting. The open world is very well done: there are no loading times, so you can Assassin s Creed IV: Black Flag weiterlesen

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

With the Analogue 3D as an N64 HDMI console, I fulfilled a dream and played The Legend of Zelda: Majora s Mask properly for the first time. With the Everdrive, I was able to play a hacked version: Majora s Mask Redux, which includes many quality of life improvements. Zeldadungeon.net has excellent walkthroughs so that you can The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask weiterlesen

Death Stranding

I went into Death Stranding completely blind: I had no idea what to expect. All I knew was the joke about being a delivery man. The worldbuilding won me over right away: a successful blend of mystical apocalypse, sci-fi and horror. It s a bit naive to choose America as the setting and spin the story Death Stranding weiterlesen

Clover (N64)

Glover is beautifully colourful, divided into manageable worlds and has unique ball gameplay. The movement patterns include pushing, throwing, hitting and dribbling the ball, and Clover himself can jump and punch. The ball can be transformed into a rubber ball, bowling ball, metal ball and crystal. This combination creates interesting gameplay. Even without save states, Clover (N64) weiterlesen

Dino Crisis 2

Unlike its predecessor, Dino Crisis 2 features pre-rendered backgrounds that look great and evoke nostalgia for the PS1 era. This time around, the action is more intense: there are masses of dinosaurs to kill. So it seems a little odd that static backgrounds were used for this particular gameplay. A selection of weapons (primary and Dino Crisis 2 weiterlesen

Cowboy Bebop: Tsuioku no Serenade

As a fan of Cowboy Bebop, this is a cool game. It has an original story, new characters, well-made cutscenes, original voice actors, and the original soundtrack from the anime. The gameplay consists mainly of beat-em-up and shooter elements. Some levels can be frustrating, as time limits or quick-time events can lead to game over.

Bramble: The Mountain King

The gameplay is rather thin, but you don t play it for the mechanics. It has a very good atmosphere that is somewhere between beautiful and creepy (but not scary). The game gets scarier from level to level, which is well done. Books reveal background stories that are read aloud by a narrator. At times, it Bramble: The Mountain King weiterlesen

Mafia: The Old Country

This time it s a very story-driven game, but I think that s a good thing. It feels like the story makes up about 60% of the game, with gameplay accounting for the other 40%. But it s done well, like a good mafia movie. I actually wanted to collect things from time to time, but in a Mafia: The Old Country weiterlesen

The Emperor’s New Groove (Ein Königreich für ein Lama)

A good platformer based on the movie. The individual levels capture the scenes in the movie well. The voice actors are the same as in the movie or very similar. The levels are varied and the controls are fun: as a llama, you can jump, run, punch, and spit. In certain levels, you even transform The Emperor s New Groove (Ein Königreich für ein Lama) weiterlesen

Nobody Wants to Die

The game is a good mix of detective game and adventure. It takes a lot from the Blade Runner movie, which is very good. The lore is very interesting and well thought out. The tools such as the UV lamp and scanner are cool, but straightforward and repetitive in the cases. The Reconstructor is the Nobody Wants to Die weiterlesen
