Game Review: ‘White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies’

Two years ago I reviewed White Day: A Labyrinth Named School which I gave a 7/10 as I thought the game was OK. Now PQube is back with White Day 2: The Flower that Tells Lies and Woo Boy, this was a rough one. White Day 2: The Flower that Tells Lies takes place the next day following the events of the first game in an episodic format where three stories intertangle as three high school students and a former Teacher sneak into the school to find answers about the events that occurred on campus and the secrets the school holds. Unfortunately, during my playthrough there was nothing positive I can say about this game. To be blunt, right from the first cinematic, I knew this was an unfinished (potentially asset-flipped) mess, and the more I played, the more that feeling was validated. To start, the cinematics of the game are out of sync, BAD. I attribute that to how

Game Review: ‘KIBORG: Arena’

Sobaka Studio is known for its hack-and-slash beat-em-up style games and coming soon will be their latest entry, KIBORG which will take players to a prison planet where they’ll have to fight their way through waves of enemies as they lead a resistance. Till players get to enjoy that, Sobaka has released (for free) the prequel to the game, KIBORG: Arena! KIBORG: Arena puts players in the prison planet’s arena where they’ll fight for money and glory against waves of enemies where dying is part of the gameplay which allows them to then upgrade their character. Now, onto the game itself! when it comes to the controls, they respond well and are easy to master. The only issues I’m having with the controls are with the aiming and enemy lock-on. To be honest, yes there are ranged weapons (guns) but I prefer fighting hand-to-hand and melee weapons over long-range weapons. I enjoy the game’s art and the design of both

Game Review: ‘Plastomorphosis’

It’s been a while since I’ve done a game review no fault of my own, just not many horror games being released at the moment, but I don’t think I needed to be punished for it! Plastomorphosis by Vidygames and Samustai Limited was supposed to be a callback to retro survival horror games, but all it did was give me a headache, literally. Plastomorphosis follows an unnamed character who is trying to return to their home city after they were evacuated from it due to dark energy radiation, at least that’s what I think is happening, the game is not quite clear on this. that’s one of the issues I’m having with the game but before I continue with the negatives let’s get some of the positives out of the way. The game has options when it comes to controls, you can have either modern controls OR classic tank controls. The soundtrack is pretty good as it reminds me of

Checking out the new Limited Edition ‘Overwatch’ Gaming Glasses by GUNNAR

It’s no secret that I like the gaming glasses by GUNNAR, the leading seller of glasses for the digital age where we spend more time looking at screens than at anything else, and as a result, some folks are affected negatively by the lights coming from those screens. GUNNAR is leading the way with eye protection from harmful lights coming from screens. GUNNAR now has teamed up with Blizzard to bring gamers and fans of the game series Overwatch two new limited edition gaming glasses! GUNNAR was awesome enough to send over the two new pairs that await fans. First is the Overwatch Ultimate, sporting the colors of the game (Black and Orange) with a comfortable wide range of view that will allow players to not miss a thing (or shot) while taking on the other team during a match. With a drawstring bag featuring Tracer and Echo, and a cleaning cloth with Reinhardt, Mei, Mercy, and Winston. The second
