I liked but also kinda hated bioshock. All of them together. They are good games but all three show their age already.
Horizon was enjoyable enough but it’s the same post apocalyptic plotline I have seen in a few other games and movies, one I could list without having to look up if I knew how to spoiler tag.
GoW is excellent and it’s all about Mimir. I legit want Ragnarok on PC just for more Mimir. Please and thank you. My only gripe with the game is I went to do a bunch of side quests during the chapter where Atreus had his little shit phase and the dialogue became really weird and his attitude kept doing all kinds of flips and shit. My rec is progress main until he gets over himself before any backtracking.
Frontier station gameplay: This game is intentionally complex. Gettimg a space suit on? Don’t forget your oxygen mask. …and helmet. …and to make sure the oxygen’s on. …and that you have grav boots. …and that they’re on.
Grab an ore bag in one hand, pick in the other, and start breaking rocks. If you’re lucky, you can get with a good captain and make some dough.
But honestly, i usually get paid more working as a janitor for the station. Or as a bartender, mixing up various drinks, if it’s a good day and people are tipping well. I’ve been trying to run my own food truck, but it seems mostly what I do is die.
…but, then there’s sitting at the bar after a good run, drinking and playing music. You can join in a midi band, or play your own uploaded song. Dance with people, or drop banana peels and watch ‘em slip. It’s a good tune to be alive.
Regular SS14 play: Or, try to do the above. But the station is faced with some awful inevitable catastrophe. Serve drinks and secretly dose them with hallucinogens, until the zombies come, or terrorists with nukes, or alien artifacts that do… …Things. Or join sec and try to keep the station going by dealing with whatever threats there are (including errant bartenders slipping drugs into peoples’ drinks), or at least evacuate the people. …and anyone could be a bomb-packing terrorist.
Or be a hamster. Or, y’know… Anything you want to.
All amazing. God of War has such a wonderful moving story and great combat. Horizon Zero Dawn is an expansive open world game with also a great story. It also has a lot of additional info in discoverable content, like logs to read and sound clips. So, it depends on how deep you want to dive, but I’d recommend both those games. God of war is more challenging on higher difficulties. I loved them both. Probably Horizon Zero Dawn just a little better than God of War, but then, I loved God of War Ragnarok more than Horizon Forbidden West.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a good game in that it is pretty, has an interesting world, and has good combat mechanics, but it is open-world in the worst way possible. It has hundreds of meaningless side quests, the rewards for which are literally just loot boxes of crafting components (often times just containing more loot boxes). Also the voice acting for most NPCs is inexcusably bad and breaks immersion, but that’s a minor gripe.
If you play Horizon, I honestly recommend sticking close to the main story and making a b-line for the end. It is a hugely bloated game.
Just finished up Sea of Stars. Enjoyed it, but didn’t love it. The visuals and music were spectacular. The story was kind of weak, and didn’t too much time tying into the Messenger without resolving plots in a satisfying way. Some of the characters were good, but the actual plot felt kind of pointless. Gameplay was also fun, but took awhile to get going. I think it was really fun after some more options and characters were available, but the start felt too slow. Would still recommend it though. It is a very solid game. It’s just not perfect.
Going back to finish Pikmin 4 next and start up Cocoon on PC too.
Wouldn’t be quite so gung ho about video games this young if he wasn’t such an avid reader. Next I was thinking about showing him the GameCube Paper Mario title.
