Kernel Hearts PS5 Review

Hello everyone today i would like to talk to you about Kernel Hearts, but first a huge thank you to Whitethorn Games for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

What is Kernel Hearts its an action rougelite with super powered andriod magical girls now if you’ve followed me for a while you know I love rougelites so I went into this game expecting a challenge but holy shit did this game defeat me and just crush me into the ground.

So the world is ending a mysterious tower sits outside the last vestige of humanity and its your job to get in there and find your way to the top to claim victory but sadly this game has proven to much for me I sadly couldn’t even beat the first level, this game adds a danger meter similar to risk of rain but everything is just hard from the start there’s stones that give you health and orbs that act as currency to help you upgrade skills along the way then after you think your ready you find a mysterious figure that telephones you to the boss room where the boss is on a small platform surrounded by smaller versions of himself that do everything they can to kick your ass.

I have done over 10 runs and I cant for the life of me beat level 1 which is supposed to be the easiest of them all I can only imagine how hard the rest of the levels are.

The game offers co op but sadly its not in the traditional sense where you can join a random lobby and progress you have to make your own lobby and hope your friends have the game so you can invite them which sadly I dont have any that play this game.

Whitethorn games definitely have a great game on hand and I wouldnt change anything except maybe make multiplayer searchable instead of needing to give out codes to join that aside Kernel hearts has become the first game to really kick my ass I look forward to see what they add to it thank ypu for stopping by take care and game on

Halloween The Game

Hey everyone hows it going, today i wanna talk to you about Halloween… the game not the holiday lol but first a huge thank you to illfonic for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated.

The game is based hugely around the multiplayer aspect of the game but the game does offer a small story mode made up of 6 chapters that teach you how to play as the iconic legendary killer Michael Myers. The story opens up with the prologue where a massive rainstorm is battering the area near the asylum where Myers is being kept along with himself some inmates are outside as 2 of the workers try to get everyone back in Myers grabs the closest one using him to break down the fence and escape this is where the game gives you the first chance to experience him as pop ups tell you whats going on and how to play you move to escape killing other workers along the way finally reaching the end of the level the doctor responsible for putting you there shows up after some more walking you manage to steal his car and escape for good and that is where the intro chapter stops and the real story starts but if you wanna know more you will have to play the game yourself.

The multiplayer aspect will be very similar to fans of games like dead by day light and Friday the 13th where you have missions to complete in order to open up escape routes but your not alone you have civilians to save each round 3 special ones must escape for bonus points, me ive never played these style games so i was lost as fuck and died plenty which sucks cause the game is fun the map is actual decent in size and you have a lot to do even after you die there’s also different events and quick time events to help you score points for the survivors.

All in all Halloween takes a great established genre and cranks it to 11 the game is cross platform between pc and consoles and it didnt take me long to find a match which is a huge plus for online games the base game is 40 while the deluxe is 60 with some goodies for yourself which if you do story mode you can unlock even more goodies all in all if your a fan of dead by daylight this game is for you thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Port of Jumanah PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about Port of Jumanah but first a huge thank you to Red Dune Games for sending me a copy to check out so lets talk about it.

I was sent Port of Jumanah on the PS5 its a fun game simple and easy to learn very similar to cult of the lamb in certain aspects.

So you play as a young pearl diver by the name of Mansour who’s daily life is diving deep into the oceans finding pearls and moving on until one day a giant black clam rises out of the water and releases some black pearls into the world personally i feel this is a pirates reference you know curse of the black pearl but anyways yes the pearls were cursed and things start changing thus your adventure begins.

The game plays like cult of the lamb in terms that you go from room to room clearing out monsters and making your way through the maze until ypu find the exit room which saves your progression and continues the story for you.
The game offers 3 weapons and 3 gadgets to use during ypur adventures as well as cards with power ups and buffs to help you along the way the game is simple and easy to learn and is definitely a good distraction for players of all types again massive thank ypu to Red Dune Games and thank ypu all take care and game on

Ship Shaper Falconeer Chronicles

Hello everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about Ship Shaper Falconeer Chronicles but first a huge thank you to wired productions, gamersky games and Tomas sala for sending me a key of this game to check out so lets dive in.

First off i went into this game expecting a naval exploration game but i was way off its something more simpler and enjoyable and its definitely aimed for the boat lover in all of us.

So this game is a builder game you get a drawing platform and you start with the base of the ship from there you are able to design and add to the ship as you wish and I gotta say damn I there a lot to design on ships from the mast and sails to the gun towers and everything in between this game has so much the only limit is your creativity and sadly i dont have much.

I managed to get a small ship going with some guns and sails as well as the old school boat wheels that moved the boats sorry my terminology is horrid. But it was fun i also looked around and there’s an option that lets you see what the community has built and holy fuck do some of there designs deserve to be in a museum they were amazing.

My favorite thing about this game is if you have a 3d printer you can export the ship into a file and print it out in real life that alone makes this game a masterpiece I am honored to have played it and cant wait to see what the devs do next go on steam check it out and enjoy yourself thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

Swarm Me

Hello everyone today i wanna talk to you about a horde survival game called Swarm Me but first a big thank you to KBGS for sending me a copy of the game to check out its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

The game is a bullet hell rougelite thats themed around a horde survival style your a little robot drone trying to survive the endless enemies to see how long you can survive the game offers 4 different game modes the hardest is a hard-core swarm now for a game thats based on survival im surprised there isnt like a leader board to compare against other players.

One mode is waves shots cost health so when you fire your weapons your losing health that already is a big handicap and makes me wonder if the game is supposed to be fun or just a way to stress you out more.

The mode I played the most was ammo drops where certain enemies would drop ammo for you cause lets be real the game doesnt really offer much for survival theres traps scattered around the map that can help you against the enemies only issue is you have to activate them but my question is how if I have 200 enemies chasing me down and the more you survive the faster and stronger they become.

Theres an upgrade computer in your room but the minute you finish it vanishes why I need that how am I supposed to continue if I can evolve anymore.

The game has a decent foundation but it definitely needs some work everytime i close the game unity struggles to close it properly and I get a lag error the way the game is right now I would check it out on a sale as for me i didnt have much fun with it sadly and I hope the devs take some time and work with it more thank you all for stopping by take care and game on

1666 Amsterdam

Hello everyone hows it going today i wanna talk to you about 1666 Amsterdam I know what a name but first a massive thank you to Panache Digital Games for sending me a key to explore and sink some time into 1666 so lets talk about it shall we.

I admit i wasnt sure what to expect from this game going in but I must say the devs have crafted a cinematic masterpiece cause in some ways it feels almost like a movie then an actual game everything from visuals to small details just leaves you stunned.

The game follows Noa a collector of magic and follows her journey through 1666 as she journeys to complete her job in order to save the world joined by her cat companion who has there own mystery for you to find out this game does amazing bringing to life the pass of what coulda been depending on your beliefs of course.

I did have some small issues with the game the combat was a bit of a hassle even when I dodged i got hit and you only spam the right trigger nothing else no combat spells that directly affect the target which was a bit of a let down another issue i had was controlling the cat i would sometimes get stuck on areas im allowed to jump to i feel the cat controls could use more polish it felt a bit all over the place.

This game is in early access and the devs themselves have stated early access will be used with help from the community to give better life to the game and i feel thats smart as a dev I feel you miss stuff but players might actually find things that need work and thats what gamers should remember everything good takes time.

Again thanks to the devs for sending me a key its greatly appreciated check out 1666 Amsterdam if you want an amazing story and beautiful visuals thank you all take care and game on

iRacing Arcade PS5 Review

Hello everyone hows it going today we talk about iRacing Arcade for the PS5 but first a huge thank you to iRacing for sending me a copy to check out its greatly appreciated.

Before you ask yes I checked out this game a while ago on pc and there were kind enough to send me the ps5 version to check out so lets dive in.

On PS5 the game ran great it was smooth didnt have any issues and honestly its not really a demanding game the colors looked great and the chibi style of race cars always make me smile when I see them.

Now the game has a couple modes story, free race and multi-player now to get back into the feel of the game i went with story mode enjoying the races and kicking some npc butt at every turn I could as part of the story mode you also get to build your facility which offers some power ups for you to use during the races and thats pretty cool.
My biggest gripe with the game remains to be multiplayer so of course instead of making open lobbies you can join and leave you have to make your own lobbies or hope and pray you have a friend doing a lobby now here’s the thing what if your friends dont have this game and you wanna race against other racers guess what you screwed and this is where i feel they drop the ball with the game and that sucks cause its a fun decent game but basically a dead multiplayer unless you have a group of friends that has the game and lets be honest thats probably rare.

Did i enjoy my time with the game absolutely ita fun and a good time killer that could be amazing with some work nothing has really changed from the pc version and im happy about that thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Orc Incremental

Hello everyone hows it going today we are talking about one of the most fun auto battler ive played in a long time but first a massive shout out and thank you to Playsaurus for sending me out a key to check out the game lets dive in.

Now whats an auto battler in simple terms the computer controls your faction in battle you get to choose the formation and abilities but the computer does the rest ive played a few of these games but always got bored of them but this is the first one that ive had fun with the whole time i was playing it.

Now the games called Orc Incremental you control and orc army as you fight against the humans in hopes of taking over the world now the game only let’s you do a few things you can upgrade your units, unlock new stores, summon more units to add to your army or my absolute favorite throw fireballs at the humans and trust me they deserve it stingy humans trying to control everything love live our orc brethren.

The game works simple the round starts you kill and survive and earn money to use in the stores for upgrades or get more units or if you lose the round starts over again until you win and move on every 10 levels you encounter a boss which is ment to test how well your set up is doing so far and if your doing enough numbers for damage and trust me I hated the boss battles but I was thankful they were there as they showed me hey you need some work so then what do you do easy you can go back to any previous level you completed and earn more money for upgrades and i did this a few times i would go back to lvl 1 and run through everything just to gain more coins.

But what do you do when thats not enough? Well the game has a mechanic called Dark Rebirth which gives you points to use on permanent upgrades and then its off to war again. The rebirth grid is massive honestly if reminds me of the sphere grid on final fantasy X just massive so you know this game has a lot for you to fight with such a grid.
Here’s a little section right from the devs.

Main Features
• Build and scale an orc armyfrom a single grunt into a full warband
• Draft units and totemswith different rarities, roles, and synergies
• Set formations and optimize army compositionto break through progression walls
• Support battles with active spellssuch as Blizzard and Fireball
• Use Dark Rebirth to reset runs forpermanent progression bonuses
• Unlock new units, challenges, and chieftainchoices that change each run
• Benefit from offline progressand return to accumulated resources
• Face milestone bossesthat test build quality and tactical planning

This game has so much depth that honestly i wish I could control one of the fighters just to get more immersion but being the god of these orcs is enough I cant wait to see what the devs have in store for the game and what units you discover as you progress im exited this game is perfect to just sit back with some friends on discord and talk while your army goes on a warpath thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

PixARK

Hello everyone hows it going today we talk about the new dlc for pixark called terracrypt but first I wanna say a huge thank you to SnailGames USA for sending me a copy of the game and dlc to check out so lets talk about it.

Now ive played a variety of survival games but ive never dabbled in anything related to Ark as ive always heard mixed reactions and didnt have anyone to teach me the ropes so when i got pixark I was hoping to finally get some experience in the ark universe even if it was pixal style.

Now the game starts with an option menu letting you pic where you start either the base game or the DLC that the game has available and this even though it lets you skip right to the dlc I didnt really like that option I prefer to go through the base game until I unlock the dlc but I get it they want people to experience everything right away.

So the dlc starts with a flying ship that suddenly gets blasted out of the sky but your escape pod magically lands you in a safe space and this is where the dlc starts you off you grab your stuff and start talking soon enough your off to the races to get underground as the cobaltstar are waiting to attack and destroy you after you make it underground well let’s just say wow this place is huge.

The underground area is massive exploration for me was tough as im not used to pixel games so I was getting stuck on every block trying to jump up and get to where I needed to go.

The introduction missions felt lacking honestly they didnt do enough explaining for my liking and dont take into account that some people have absolutely no history with the game me being a perfect example.

My biggest annoyance with the game was for some reason hitting the tab button would freeze the game then hitting it again opened up what seemed to be a master control input box so u had to hit it a 3rd time to get the game to work again i cant count how many times i would hit it by accident it really was a mood killer.

The dlc is supposed to add 13 new distinct biomes that require lots of thoughts to progress as well as 11 new bosses for you to fight against as well as new creatures underground to tame and use in your adventure.

The game has a lot to offer and the dlc feels like an absolutely new game with how big it is and everything it offers sadly the game just wasnt for me i couldn’t get into a groove with it and I just wasnt having fun even while learning the ropes.

All that aside the game ran great on my pc I didnt have issues no fps drops or crashes which im sure most people probably expect a disaster at launch and judging from the steam reviews thats what happened just give the devs some time to fix this i wanna thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Mortal Shell 2

Mortal Shell 2 is my first traditional souls game in a sense of swords and axes are used as well as some magic but before we talk more of my time with the game I wanna thank both Playstack and Charlotte for sending me a key to check out the game its hugely appreciated.

Now i dont have a lot of time in the game like other creators but what i do has is an approach from a souls noob and thats the perspective ill give you.

Now when I say souls noob I mean noob even though ive played elden ring, dark souls, hollow knight and remnant from the ashes i have yet to claim victory over any of those games now your probably wondering ok why did you jump into mortal shell well i am a sucker for a beautiful game and the concept of shells being your i guess you can say armor really caught my attention.

So the game starts with a back story of what happened so great diety fell to the planet and things were good until they weren’t Now your tasked with retrieving what appear to be some massive alien eggs thats the jist of what I got from the cut scene at the start then the game wakes you and its off to the races.

The whole starting area I wanna say it can be between 30 minutes to an hour depending on your skills and how much exploring you do is the tutorial area I admit i died a lot and i raged quit twice but again I suck at these games so once you pass the tutorial the game sets you on a path through some mountains with the camera doing different view points and i gotta say i love this part in the introduction this area leads you to the keep where you will spend most of the game leveling up and finding shit for and its also the starting point to the maps exploration, here you find a good amount of NPCs to talk to and trust me talk to them they have goodies and info you will need.

Once on the ground you begin and like every souls game stamina plays a massive factor in it and well there’s bosses everywhere there’s one literally right around the corner from the first beacon which if anyone played elden ring right when you come out the elevator you have that massive horse jerk its ptsd all over again man.

I played on PC and even though ive heard of other players having problems in my time spent with the game the only issues I had was the game freezing up on me during combat or entering combat and in a souls game thats a huge issue and not something you wanna have when there’s so much on the line.

The game offers a good variety between the 8 shells you get to play with and a vast amount of weapons you discover in the world there’s something for each play style out there.

Combat was one factor i kept messing up on always attacking and not dodging properly heck I even forgot what the block button was which all this combined with dying a lot lead me to grab the slayer seal and activate easy mode which sadly its not that easy you still need skills and I sadly am lacking.

The game is beautiful the world is worth exploring and its something I did everytime i killed enemies in areas I would look around and check things out.

My experience with mortal shell 2 was honestly interesting and a bit rage inducing I had fun and look forward to updates and future content if the team decides to add more to the game again thank you to Charlotte and Playstack you guys were awesome take care and have a great day and game on.
