Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

-

 So, a few days was my husband's birthday. A little backstory about this game is that we used to play the first couple on the PlayStation 2 when we first started dating. When we stopped at game stop to check our preorder for the Marvel zombie Dr. Doom Pop figures (which I was a month early on) we wandered around and looked at games. It was then we both realized that we never picked it up and the hype kind of died on it pretty fast. Me being in the streaming world you can see who really latches onto what games. Unfortunately, the always most popular games are FPS for the most part. I'm just not into that scene anymore. 

Okay actually talking about the game now. *bonks head*

My first reaction was, yes! Couch multi-player, my lady is a playable character (Scarlet Witch which I fell in love with the character in the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance and have been a fan since), and well I guess you could say I am a Marvel fangirl. With that out of the way, the handlings felt really similar, can switch between the four characters you have that make a team, and you have different abilities to use, but there were a lot of new aspects unless my memory is just that bad. But I liked the hex level-up system that seems a bit grindy but you can't just have everything easy. I also chuckled at the ISO add-ons. I play Marvel Contest of Champions on my phone, and ISOs are used to level up characters, pretty much giving them experience, and different colors for the different types of heroes (science, mystic, cosmic, etc). Of course, blowing up all the items in a room is always my favorite to gain items, heal, and well just for the pure entertainment factor. 

Now there is one thing that did drive me and really more than anything my husband is insane. The camera angles. They should have done a more top-down angle with some of the abilities of some of the characters you just can't see. If I am in the foreground with Scarlet Witch and Hubs is in the back with Wolverine he just can't see anything that is going on with Wanda's Chaos/Hex magic doing its thing.  The camera isn't moveable in some areas, and even when you can move it it's just weird.

Other than that I like almost everything else I feel the story is moving pretty fast like the levels are a bit short. But I'm not really too far into the game either at least I don't think so. We just got to where you can modify and upgrade the ISOs. I do like how there are other things to do for more rewards, like the infinity levels, I have not tried the gauntlet either. But I really liked this game and will continue to couch play with my husband.

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 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
