Red Dead Redemption 2 Game Review

Image
  *******Overview****** To say that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a big game would be a vast understatement. The game is absolutely huge in both scale and content. In many ways, it’s revolutionary and will be a high talking point among gamers for years to come. It is also by no means perfect and has its own share of glaring issues and faults. The game is set in 1899 toward the end of the  wild  part of the west. You play as Arthur Morgan, one of the leading members of the Van Der Linde gang. The story is long, the voice acting is spot on, and the script is stellar. By the end of it, you will have run through every emotion possible. It’s not a story full of giant twists or head-scratching mysteries. Instead, it feels very human, and it’s a unique take on an epic western. The Wide Wild West ******************************* The graphics are incredibly gorgeous and detailed everywhere except the faces of NPCs. The main cast looks great, but the NPCs loo...

Red Dead Redemption Game 1 (PC) Review

  *******Red Dead Redemption  and it’s excellent  Undead Nightmare******* Red Dead Redemption  and it’s excellent  Undead Nightmare  DLC have finally…finally…been ported to PC after years of fan requests.

We play as the enigmatic John Marston, who players of the sequel-cum-prequel will already know as a ga...

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild : Game Review

  ********** Zelda game********* Hyrule has never looked or sounded this pretty. Instead of bombarding you with sweeping orchestral themes (though, yes, of course   those   songs are included), you’re allowed to hear the ambiance. Link’s footsteps are audible (and things like rain storms will mask your footsteps), and grass will whoosh in the breeze. Occasionally a deep, foreboding piano will chime in, letting you know there may be danger ahead. But the world is allowed to breathe, just as you the player can too. Visually it’s as though a watercolour is being painted before your eyes. There is so much to take in, from the icy cold mountain tops, to the deep rivers that can sweep you away. There are villages to explore that are full of NPCs who will offer up wisdom and quests, and there are optional boss encounters that will test you to breaking point. All of these things take place in a verdant, intoxicating world. Shooting a fire arrow into a red barrel to im...
