Project Cars (Video Game Review)

If there is one thing most gamers like, that would be cars. Being able to control a wide range of cars in a variety of realistic environments is amazing, and that’s exactly what Project CARS tries to accomplish. However, unlike many other car racing games that focus on bringing in an arcade experience, Project CARS has a single goal, and that is to bring you the ultimate simulation. And that’s exactly what the title does, it brings us the utmost realism that you would like from a racing game, and it provides us with the ability to race in controlled environments such as racing courses, with the main purpose being to win races. What makes Project CARS very interesting for me is the fact that it comes with a sandbox approach when compared to other types of games, and this makes it more appealing. You are not restricted to a certain car type or motorsport, not you have to acquire currency in order to get the car you might want. Instead you have complete control over where and how you w...

Crypt of the Necrodancer (Video Game Review)

Crypt of the Necrodancer is all about its charming music and feeling the melodies as you make your way through every fun environment that the game has to offer. The turn-based title throws you into a progression of arbitrarily produced floors, as a rule with close to a fundamental weapon with which to guard yourself. Moving one space at once around the framework that makes up every grave floor, you'll chance upon adversaries (now and again truly, as you assault essentially by moving in a foe's bearing), discover insider facts under dividers, and gather things from different midsections, preferably getting stronger and stronger along the way. The catch is that you need to do this in time with the floor's music- -and if the melody closes, you move more profound into the floor whether you're prepared or not. You won't level up by murdering adversaries, yet the gear you discover or purchase with gold can make you basically god-like. Say, for occurrence, that you ...

Dungeons 2 (Video Game Review)

Dungeons was plainly propelled by classic game Dungeon Keeper, however like a defiant teen it struck out and made its own specific manner on the planet. There were awesome thoughts in Dungeons, in which players assembled underground refuges to draw in travelers, got them high off their own particular hubris, and after that smooshed them. Prisons 2, then again, goes out on a limb and sticks to a more recognizable Dungeon Keeper equation. Yet despite the fact that it is really near to the Dungeon Keeper 3 we've generally needed, its boldest new thoughts aren't fleshed sufficiently out for it to turn into a genuine profound successor. My body is wrecked, so I'm left with just my hand. The drifting, all-intense free hand is my instrument to the underworld, and with it I give requests, get devils and drop them before new occupations, and oversee the periodic stinging strike. Developer Realmforge has totally refined the stray pieces of its administration game. The notorious...
