Subnautica - Yay free game!

-
So with Epic Games opening their own store on the PC, they are giving away Subnatica for free. Everyone's favorite price tag. 
Now I have been wanting to play this game for a while, it has been in game preview mode on Xbox One for a while. Just with other games and things going on I never got a chance. I did watch a few streamers on Mixer play the game and wanted to eventually play it. A few friends also recommended it as well.
So I downloaded the game manager and then installed the game. Fortnite is like an auto game you get in your library I thought this was pretty funny. So I load up the game...

Crash land on an alien planet. Something went wrong you just into an escape pod and ended up getting knocked out after ejecting from the ship. You wake up to your pod being on fire and need to quickly put it out. There are little amount of control hints but a lot of things you have to figure out yourself. So I took this time to check the controls. I play on Xbox a lot so I plugged in the Elite controller and to be honest I just didn't like how it worked on the controller so I went back to keyboard and mouse. (OH no I'm turning to a PC player... HELP)
Anyway, I learned the controls and jumped out of the pod. There are tons of weird alien fish swimming around having a good time. I'm not really sure what I am doing so I just start picking up everything that will let me. Then I remember that when I watched others play they had some sort of scanner. So I went back to the pod. I saw there was a storage box and a few things on the wall. One makes health kits every so often, and another is where you fabricate everything. So it tells you what you need material-wise to make the item and it well, makes it.
So I check everything out I look at the things I can make and what I need to make other things. Of course, my focus is tools seeing I want to be able to harvest. fix, and build things. So I make sure to collect things for a knife, scanner, and repair tool. All the while my water starts flashing. I have two bottles on the ship in a storage container. So I ended up drinking both of those. But like all survival games, I just let myself die and go back to base once my stuff is low. I make sure I die in the pod because anywhere else you lose some of the stuff in your inventory.
I can tell you I got eaten by many things in the water. And they make super scary sounds too, so that turned to me screaming and "running" swimming away to only get eaten still. I can say I heavily focused on giving myself more oxygen so that I could swim longer.
I still have not built a base, and still have not scanned everything in the water. Despite me playing it for like 20-plus hours already. Finding some stuff is actually really hard...

So far I am loving the game, and really while it is free take this time to grab it! The only thing that bothers me is when the item you just harvested starts to roll away XD

Thanks for listening to my rambling! More game reviews coming soon!

Taora: Beginning Taora was developed by Tulpar Games and was published by Tulpar Games and TheGamesFortress. It's an open-world survival community builder.

The Start You start out at a base where the game tells you to grab some tools from storage, right now the only things that are in your base are a storage area, some toilets, and a command center. The storage center is well a small storage area, you later will also be able to make a chest for more organization. The command center is where you can switch between community members and build other stations in the base.  In the storage, you can get a pick axe and an axe. The first task would be to go chop some wood. In the process of that, you'll eventually have to start building the various stations.  Workshop: The

Evie - Cosplay

Evie Evie is a playable character in the game Paladins: Champions of the Realm. It's a free-to-play game that you can play on well pretty much anything, Steam, PlayStation, Switch, and Xbox. Developed by Hi-Rez Studios, and Evil Mojo Games this was mainly squad-based FPS.  There are a few modes but the one I played the most was team vs team where me and a few buddies would team up and have to defend a cart that would slowly move through the level. Or if you were on the other team destroy the cart. The goal is to either prevent the cart from getting into the goal area or to stop it.  Cosplay Background Evie was one of the characters I enjoyed not only looks but also the dialogue. Of of my favorites is "I just want to live a normal life, without having to blow everybody up... Oh well!" The abilities she has were fun to play with but I always screwed it up. She had a basic attack from her ice staff. She could turn into an ice block to become immune to dam

Enshrouded - Casual Gaming Review

Enshrouded This is an action-adventure survival base-building game. It was developed and published by Keen Games GmbH. This demo key was given to me by the developers of a program called Keymailer. The demo was out for Next Fest. So, thank you for the key! Gameplay You wake up in a capsule inside a temple. You've been asleep for a long time. As you run out you pretty much have nothing, your first task being to make a base.  As you make your way to the waypoint on the map the game goes through basic concepts. Throwables can blow up and change the terrain as well as the other items. I dug myself in a hole at one point.  A lot of things are breakable so once I got something I could swing (a sword) I started to hit everything I could. Which was good because I was getting all sorts of materials.  There is something called well enshrouded, it's an area that is tainted. Having a light with you decreases the rate at which it affects you. But it's pretty much if
