CyberHeroes Arena DX | PS4 Review

What makes "Vampire Saviors" so addictive, and attractive to gamers? That's what I've wondered since that game's inception on Microsoft's consoles/platforms. Unfortunately, until now, neither Sony nor Nintendo has released their own trending take on this new genre. Thankfully though with "CyberHeroes Arena DX" Ratalaika Games remedies this. We finally get to experience what all the hype was about with these roguelike auto-battlers, and while it may not be as good as "Vampire Saviors", graphically, it still manages to hit that dopamine craving just the same through it's given features. 

Pinball FX | PS4 Review

I'm going to preface this review with a quote I posted yesterday. It explains exactly what I think of live service games, and in turn how I feel about Zen Studio's latest Pinball game release ...

"Live service games in an overly saturated market of live service games fighting for a finite collective of people with a finite amount of money to spend are not the solution for financial business gain within the industry. It reeks of greed, and that greed in turn will eventually be met with the exhausted resources that are gamers and their money. Rendering any efforts for a sustainable business to be forfeit."

The Legend Of Gwen | Switch

Speedrunning, precision platforming, and collect-a-thon goals are what you'll find in WIWI Games', "The Legend Of Gwen". This 3D witch versus evil adventure comes with minimal plot, and to the point gameplay with gated features locked behind an in-game paywall. Not a paywall in the real money sense, but a paywall wherein stars and crystals collected will open up new areas in the game's base hub. 

In total you'll find 7 uniquely themed moons with point marked stages, and boss battles. Each stage is a themed and timed event where speed running your way through to beat that timer will bank you some bragging rights if not rewards. While in each stage lives are limited, and items that must be collected specific in number. You'll find crystals, stars, and chests that when collected in full will grant you a 100% completion. Allowing you to not only move on to the next stage, but also to spend the items on base unlocks. Things like spells, and bonus mini-games that have their own rewards for effort rendered.

Spy Bros. | Nintendo Switch

Toaplan's erotic pixelated action platformer, "Pipi & Bibi's / Whoopee" gets a family friendly remake in the guise of RAWRLAB Games', "Spy Bros." for the Nintendo Switch. This lightly faithful recreation keeps the gameplay gimmicks intact while doing away with the erotic rewards for mastery. Gone are the skin revealing female photos, and the striptease for efforts rendered. Like 'Elevator Action', and it's obvious inspiration this building focused bomb runner that is 'Spy Bros.' has you stunning and evading enemies as either Pipi or Bibi while planting bombs at computer terminals before making a mad dash for the exit before time runs out.
