An environmental friendly platformer? | Impressions - DOMINO The Little One

Saving the world is cool, facing monsters is badass, but doing both at the same time? DOMINO: The Little One is a 2D platformer game aims to do just that. Well, the game promises to be an immersive interactive narrative experience that will test your wit and determination. Is it? Does it?

Sad to say, but it’s not --- and it doesn’t. The game falls flat as a video game experience; the gameplay is very shallow: just move, run, and jump, and even with that simple scheme the character is awful to control. The game is very short under 40 minutes and there’s really no challenge nor compelling reason to play it.

What’s nice though is the hand drawn art style and the pro-environmental message it conveys. However this could have been done easily with a short series of videos instead. Having said all that, the game is completely free-to-play, no in-game ads or purchases, so the intent is really noble, just wasn’t executed very well as a video game.

Way more forgiving and fun than I expected and I love it | Black Myth: Wukong Review

Black Myth: Wukong is an action-RPG rooted deeply in the 16th-century Chinese literary classic, Journey to the West. Players step into the fur of the "Destined One," a monkey warrior who bears a striking resemblance to the legendary Sun Wukong. The story isn't just a simple retelling; it’s a soulful journey where you retrace the footsteps of the original Monkey King, seeking to recover lost relics and perhaps reclaim a legacy that was shattered long ago. It’s a narrative-heavy experience, packed with cinematic flair and a deep reverence for its mythological roots.

The best Avengers game without being one | Marvel's Midnight Suns - First Impressions

Sure, it is titled Marvel’s Midnight Suns, but don’t let the relatively inconspicuous title fool you. It is a full blown high-profile Marvel game packing a roster that features popular Marvel characters including Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Spider-Man and The Hulk. As well as including less-known characters like Nico Minoru and Magik. All of these characters are fighting in a high-stakes interpersonal story involving the demon Lilith, the military organization Hydra, as well as throwing other heroes and villains into the mix.

Masterclass in Anti-Fatigue Open World Design | Ghost of Yotei Review

Ghost of Yotei, the newest installment in the acclaimed feudal Japan action series, shifts the stage to Ezo/Hokkaido Japan, introducing a new protagonist, Atsu, and a razor-sharp revenge narrative. Set during a tumultuous period, the game follows Atsu as she embraces the path of the Ghost to hunt down her targets. While built upon the foundations of its predecessors, Yotei immediately distinguishes itself by prioritizing refined gameplay flow and anti-fatigue design over overwhelming map density, setting it up as a truly modern open-world experience.
