High Hell - Review


High Hell is a very short arcade shooter that's reminiscent of Hotline Miami in a FPS settings with a rather unique artstyle to it.

Gameplay is super basic with super basic objectives. Not much of a story other than trying to kill off all the enemies and following the objective as fast as possible. This game is pretty good at getting to the point of the gameplay because that's simply what this game is. It's an arcade shooter nothing more, nothing less.

There's only 20 levels and I already beaten this game. Took me 4 hours.

Does the game suck? Far from it. Can it get boring? Yes, it can be at times. The only longevity that you'll get from this game is the speedrunning aspects. There is also a leaderboard feature for this as well. If I had to point out to a group of people to play this game I would tell people who are into high scores and speed running aficionados.

At the same time, the price is right honestly. For 10 buckaroos it's not bad. I'm really on the fence at this point but the game delivered what it offered but there's nothing else to really get into in this game.

But personally? It just didn't really get my attention as much. It's good, but not great either, didn't suck. I have already forgotten this game. But for others they may like this game.

Pros:
+Great unique artstyle
+Leaderboards
+Core gameplay is good
+Cheap, 10 US dollars
+Challenging
+Speedrunner friendly

Cons:
-Short game
-Lacks content

3/5.

League of Legends has a ton of K-Pop references

For those of you who live under a rock League of Legends is one of the worlds largest and most popular multiplayer PC games at the moment. It is backed up by a strong esports community and is especially known to have the best players from Korea. With that being said though, it would be a no-brainer to include K-Pop references in League of Legends. Certain Champions have various skins you can purchase and included with them is their own exclusive dances which ties to a lot of K-Pop music videos. Check out the video below.

Want to revoke EA's Star War's License? Sign this Massive Petition

My face when I realized there's thousands of people who signed it already For those of you who are unaware, In 2013 EA has partnered with Disney to develop Star Wars video games. However, EA's newest Star Wars game Battlefront II has hit a HUEG-MONGOUS controversy where their entire content of progression has heavily relied on pay to win mechanics. It was more popularized on /r/StarWarsBattlefront when they realized you can become better at someone else in the game by buying loot crates in-game with real cash.You can however earn credits by playing but compared to purchasing loot crates in the game it will be a lot quicker for people who purchased it which isn't fair. If Battlefront 2 was free I'd be ok with it but the game has a massive 60 dollar pricetag. Now they're taking it a step further by introducing a change.org petition and as of this writing they're at 65K. If you want revoke EA's license (which I hope you do) please do so over here.

Nidhogg 2 Review

Well this time around they heavily improved upon the formula. And one of the most obvious notes is it improved on the graphics quite significantly. Instead of simple 8-bit graphics it seems like it reached to a more 16-bit approach, showing off even more silliness off of the game. From the first Nidhogg you didn't have much customization of your main character. You can add a bunch of silly clothing to him/her according to your taste. I hope they will add more customizations in the near future I like it quite a lot. And one of the more intriguing additions to the sequel is more weapons. Unlike the first you only had a rapier. This one has added a Broadsword, Dagger, and a new ranged weapon, bows. For singleplayer content everything is the same you have to go through 10 levels and win. But I liked knowing they added more detailed levels to keep things interesting. Now for multiplayer, you got regular matchmaking and a newly implemented ranked mode.
