Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Review: Indie Price, AAA Experience

By

Back in 2015, Moon Studios, a small indie studio under Microsoft Studios, made a Metroidvania style videogame “Ori and the Blind Forest”. The game was critically acclaimed on all platforms and equally loved by fans all over. So, when Microsoft announced Ori and the Will of the Wisps, during E3 2019 conference, the expectations went even beyond the original game. As in most cases, it is quite hard to surpass an original which is still considered one of the best action platformers ever made, a modern classic. Still, just like the theme behind Ori’s story, I was quite hopeful. Ori and the Will of the Wisps finally released in March 2020, with lots of hope covered in a murky layer of darkness. Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Review Without going into spoiler territory, let’s just say the almost heart-warming opening once again leaves us with nothing but a…

Division 2 Warlords Of New York Review: Perfect Time To Jump In

By

Division 2 Warlords Of New York adds new content to the game. Basically you are taking down the new final boss Arron Keener. In order to encounter him, you must take out the 4 warlords that have taken control of New York. This is our review of Division 2 Warlords Of New York. Division 2 Warlords Of New York Review If you have played the previous game then you know who Keener is and it is nice to have him back in The Division 2 so that you can finish things off once and for all. In order to reach him, you must first take out his “four horsemen” the warlords of New York. If you have played games like Far Cry 5 or Ghost Recon then you will be familiar with these mechanics. Division 2 Warlords Of New York is part of the end-game content and the level cap…

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint Review – Is It Really That Bad? Definitely Not

By

So what’s wrong with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint? Well, by this time you already know what it is.  Aggressive monetization via microtransactions, optimization issues on PC, and somewhat of a step back from Wildlands. Pretty much every review that covers that talks about this so there is no point in us pointing out the same issues so let’s focus on the things that work in favor of Breakpoint. Is this a game worth your money? What’s good about the new Ghost Recon? One of the things I liked In Ghost Recon is the main storyline. It is exciting to be the one hunting The Punisher. Nomad, our lead character crash lands on the Aurora Island among trained rogue Ghosts who now prefer to be called Wolves. Your missions were to investigate the Island but thanks to an ambush, you’re new objective is to survive. Fans of Ghost Recon would agree that…

Blair Witch Game Review: Mind Tricks Like Nothing Else

By

Blair Witch was a great movie and introduced a new way of storytelling in the horror genre. You never really saw the protagonist and the vlog-style footage felt very realistic indeed. Not to mention the supernatural forces that were at work. Blair Witch is now back in the form a game. So how does it fair? Blair Witch has been brought to you by the team that worked on Layers of Fear and is set a few years after the movie. You play as a police officer called Elis, who is trying to find a missing child. He decides to go into the woods alone in order to try and find something that the other police officers might have missed. By his side is Bullet, his trusty K9 friend. Bullet can be very useful in the game when it comes to locating evidence and tracking scents. There are a couple…

Remnant: From the Ashes Review – Souls-Inspired Game Done Right

By

Imagine the worlds of Lordran and Yharnam being dynamically-generated that changed with each playthrough, shuffling the locations of items, enemies, and even pitting you against unexpected bosses. At its core, Remnant: From the Ashes draws inspiration from FromSoftware’s lovechild with its unique flair added to the mix. You’ll still fight your way through mobs in different areas, rest at checkpoints (respawning all the enemies in the area), find better loot, and fight bosses locked behind fog-walls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqeDvBJraMk Remnant: From the Ashes is set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by an alien species known as the Roots. The opening sees your custom character washed ashore as a result of a massive tsunami and you’re introduced to some basic gameplay mechanics (akin to the opening of the original Dark Souls). As you try to familiarize yourself with the combat and fight your way through, you’ll eventually reach a human settlement known as…

Anthem Review – The World’s First 0/10

By

At RespawnFirst we aim to publish quality content and do our best to make sure you are well informed. The purpose of any review is to make sure you know if a product is worth your money. And Anthem is clearly not. After playing the game since release I only need a few paragraphs to review this game. And even that paragraph I will summarize in one sentence for your right now: Anthem is a horrible. Anthem took 6 years to develop but the final product, even after months of its release is no way near what BioWare promised. Anthem has fundamental issues with its loot system, customization, and progression. The lack of a meaningful story mixed with horrible animations, cut content, and server issues make the game unplayable and highly uninteresting. There are numerous glitches including a persistent teleportation glitch. You are constantly teleported back to where you started.…

Dauntless Review: Monster Hunting Made Simple

By

Dauntless is a monster hunting game similar to the Monster Hunter series. It free-to-play and you can team up with three other players in order to take down giant monsters. The game is similar to Monster Hunter and if you have already played those games then Dauntless is going to be very familiar. You will notice that the graphics are a bit different and that is because Dauntless has an art style of its own. Here is our review of Dauntless. Dauntless Review Dauntless is a fun game to play with your friends and while the graphics are not super realistic, it has a style of its own. This might seem new at first but you will grow used to it with the passage of time. This also means that Dauntless is not as graphically demanding as similar titles such as Monter Hunter World. I would say that if you…

Rage 2 Review: The Insanity Is Real

By

Rage 2 is an exciting new shooter and let me tell you that you never really rage even though it is the name of the game. You do feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins when you have to kill hordes of enemies and I for one did get excited when I unlocked a new ability or got a new weapon that I really liked. This might be a single-player game but the gameplay is so good that I would say that if you like how Doom plays then you will find Rage 2 satisfying too. Rage 2 picks up where the last one ended but you really do not need to play the 2012 title in order to enjoy the new one. While the characters are not memorable and you do not make any decisions in the game, the gunplay and action are what Rage 2 is really all…
