Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War | Campaign Review In Progress ...

So, currently I'm a few missions into Black Ops Cold War's campaign. It's actually good so far. Your standard espionage story with a Call of Duty twist. The old US vs Russia theme this time around with familiar and fresh faces joining in. Missions do vary significantly, and offer multiple choice paths as well as in-mission side missions. Visually it's structure is a mixture of CG cut scenes, montages of stock video clips, and playable objective based missions carried by voice-over narrations. The characters involved are okay for the most part. Likable, but not fully fleshed out. They're not the big focus. The main point of it all is centered around chasing down leads on Perseus, the game's Russian spy, and finding out why he's resurfaced. There are plot twists, betrayals, and the usual espionage thoroughfare. 

Faeria | PS4 Review

There are a couple of things that Faeria had going for it that drew my immediate attention. It was a CCG (collectible card game), and it had impressive fantasy artwork. Two things I find crucial to attracting a new crowd of genre dedicated gamers. After having sat down, and played through the initial tutorial missions, and the missions beyond it became clear that not only was this a CCG in the vein of Magic the Gathering, or HEX, but that it harbored it's own unique battlefield mechanics similar to that of Hearthstone. Something that requires the strategic placing of cards that have base attributes tied to life, and attack points. Factor in the MTG card functions and features, and you've got Faeria.

Faeria, the game, is named after it's own unique energy or mana source. Something you will be farming in order to play lands, and cards. It features four different land types as per elements/terrain, and gives the player multiple choices as how they wish to spend their turn. That turn being dependent on the capturing, and farming of the wells of Faeria.
