Marooners

I am a big fan of couch games, I have two kids and a husband so having anything 4-player we can all play together in the same room is great.

First, you pick your character, a little girl, pirate, scuba diver? Then what color do you want to be? Don't forget to pick the best weapon. Like the T-rex bone, caveman's club, shaman staff, and much more.

There are a few modes to play from, but it took a while to understand some of them. There is a party, arena, or any in offline mode. (I honestly didn't play the online mode since we played 4 players)

Now what it does is hop between each mini-game, it will start off by telling you what to do for that level, but then it will quickly start. If you are in chaos mode it will randomly change in the middle of the game without finishing to another game. You can also choose to finish each game before switching to a new one.

You could end up running from a giant bolder trying to smash you one moment to, trying not to get squished by an overhead block, to digging down through blocks to the end of the level.

You get coins, and jewels as points. Hit another player to knock their points out and quickly collect them before others do.

Once all the levels are over it will count up all the points over the levels, and then you'll get points for playing to level up. Leveling up will unlock more characters and weapons.

We really enjoyed it and of course were very competitive. It was easy control for the kids to use, and we ended up playing it for a few hours.

You can find this game on Xbox One, but I also believe it is on PS4 and Steam.

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
