You play as one of the three bounty hunters often hired to hunt down the felons and keep the peace in a post apocalyptic future where street gangs and selfish MNCs run the world. The game has a neat feature like taking cover which was new for me in a run and gun game. There are melee weapons and throwables like grenades. I encountered various guns like shotgun, SMG and assault rife available at various points during my playthough. In coop your partner can be revived and vice versa.

The game is fun to play with a friend. You can invite a friend to remoteplay with you. Sadly not possible to invite 2 friends for remoteplay, but possible to locally have 1-2 people to play with you.

Official description :
You are an elite battle cyborg who is sent in to investigate a series of anomalies on a mysterious island. The merciless alien known as the 'Xirxul life form' has been awakened by unwitting scientists and now: all humanity is in danger!.

my word:
This is a run and gun game similar to contra. The games is a lot of fun when I use 40 lives and Weapon select cheat, the level design is good and the bosses are fun to fight. the enemies are well made too. the game cost me 64/- on sale and can be played in online COOP. i cancelled my refund and decided to give this game another go because of the good level design. music is okay too. It is fun even in solo mode.

official mission briefing
--------------------------------
Year: 26XX AD. The Galuga Archipelago off the coast of New Zealand is ground zero for a mysterious meteor shower. Six months later, the Red Falcon terrorist group invades the island, and unusual gravity waves can be detected emanating from the area. The Earth Federation sends in the GX Army for reconnaissance, but contact has been lost. With no other viable options, the Earth Marine Corps dispatches its most elite soldiers - Bill Rizer and Lance Bean of the Contra unit - to investigate and neutralise any potential threats. The conflict that follows turns the once-peaceful island into an all-out warzone where the fate of mankind hangs in the balance.

my review
--------------
the game is fun to play while being more forgiving than the older games. you get a lot of continues. the game unlike previous iterations has difficulty levels, you can play on easy, normal or hard. you can also chose one-hit deaths. the game offers variety of perks like special weapon retention on death and options to start with a special weapon type to name a few. perks have to be purchased from the perk shop with credits earned from playing the game. additionally the game has a story mode,arcade mode for up to 4 players co-op and a challenge mode. Story mode gives an idea about what is happening while you run and gun where as the arcade mode has pure action without the story. Challenge mode has different challenges set out for you to test your mettle.

cons
---------
Remoteplay doesn't work properly, the second controller isn't detected properly in story mode. It shows keyboard and mouse as second controller in story and arcade mode remoteplay i'd recommend waiting until that is fixed before buying this game.

possible solution for remoteplay p2 not working in story mode
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by CoPilotLindy:

My friend and I had the same issue but we figured out how to work around the bug:

Instead of Story mode, go into Arcade Mode. For whatever reason it'll force the remote player into P3 slot, but that's fine. Both of you select your characters and start Arcade Mode into the first level. Once the level starts, pause and quit out back to the main menu. Go back into Story Mode now and it should just suddenly work with the remote player as P2 (at least it did for us). But heads up that you have to do this every time you restart the game from Steam if you want to continue in story mode. Disappointing this wasn't caught before release, clearly people were going to use remote play to do coop.

This would have been fun even without the sexual content. the game is humorous. you have to shoot a bunch of zombies to progress amongst other things. Just like the game's name the sex part is mostly comic and wee bit lewd too imo.

Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars is like a rollercoaster ride through a post-apocalyptic amusement park. Except instead of cotton candy, you're munching on your enemies' bases. Picture this: you're the fearless commander leading your troops into battle, and suddenly you realize your only strategy is to build as many tanks as humanly possible and just roll over everything in your path. It's like playing chess, but with explosions instead of checkmates. And let's not forget the joy of watching your enemy's faces as you drop a surprise ion cannon on their carefully constructed base – it's the ultimate 'gotcha' moment. Just make sure to keep your engineers away from those pesky Tiberium fields unless you want them mutating into something out of a sci-fi horror flick. Overall, Tiberium Wars delivers a wild ride filled with enough action, strategy, and unexpected moments to keep you glued to your screen. Just be prepared to lose track of time – and maybe a few friendships – along the way.

So, picture this: you've got a jacked dude with more muscles than a butcher's dog, wielding a couple of swords, and stomping around in ancient Greece... no wait, Scandinavia... no, sorry, it's both. Welcome to "God of War" - a game where mythologies collide and daddy issues are as common as treasure chests.

First off, we have our protagonist, Kratos, who's traded in his Blades of Chaos for a big ol' axe and a gruff demeanor. Gone are the days of indiscriminate rage against Greek gods; now he's a single dad trying to raise his son, Atreus. It's like someone decided, "Hey, let's take the angriest character in gaming and give him parental responsibilities. What could possibly go wrong?"

But fear not, dear players, because Kratos isn't just slaying monsters; he's also slaying those dad jokes with the finesse of a master punsmith. You'll find yourself chuckling (or groaning) at his quips as you journey through the Nordic wilderness. "Atreus, why did the cyclops bring a flashlight? Because he wanted to see things from a different perspective!"

Speaking of Atreus, he's like a combo of Robin to Kratos' Batman and that know-it-all kid from your high school physics class. He's there to shoot arrows, translate runes, and remind Kratos to moisturize because, let's face it, the dude's skin is drier than the Sahara.

The gameplay? Oh, it's solid. You'll be hacking, slashing, and dodging your way through waves of enemies like a hot knife through Skadi's butter. And let's not forget the boss fights - they're bigger, badder, and more epic than trying to explain Norse mythology to your grandma.

But what really sets "God of War" apart is its attention to detail. From the breathtaking landscapes to the intricate lore, every corner of this game feels meticulously crafted. And let's not forget about the hidden collectibles; finding them all is like trying to find the meaning of life in a bag of potato chips - frustrating yet oddly satisfying.

In conclusion, "God of War" is a masterpiece of gaming. It's got action, humor, heart, and enough dad jokes to last you a lifetime. So grab your axe, polish your quiver, and get ready for an adventure that's truly godly... or should I say, dadly?

Not much idea about what is going on over here, we manage to locate and gain access to a secret scientific research and order enforcement facility we been looking for years to get answers to some personal tragedy in our life. Something strange is happening in this facility. Its directors apparently offs himself and you mysteriously get appointed its director. A paranormal force is invading the facility apparently(mind controlling the facility members and making them float and more) and you apparently have paranormal abilities to cleanse the same. Also we too carry some sort of personal secret that we haven't shared with the staff because they might not be trustworthy.

The action seems difficult and story not a page turner exactly to keep me playing at it, but i might come back and play this game at a later date.

the game is bare bones right now, the cutscenes were not repeated when i restarted the game anew after a break. the controls are non standard. the gun aim doesn't have a crosshair. the major saving grace is the comic book style artwork and a decent story/action. i have only played the tutorial so far. I would wait for the devs to improve the game's polish a bit before buying. one of my friend however managed to play it in continuity.

This cute visual novel game tries to answer the question "What is love?". The game encourages people to have a warm, soft, and understanding heart.

You need to think outside the box to do good. Success in this game doesn't depend upon chance, you have to make efforts for it.
