The Secret of Monkey Island was one my first PC games. Played it on DOS back in the early 1990's.
I was about 12-13 years old and I played it with a dictionary by my side as I had to learn English to play.

Even though some of the good jokes is removed with this Special Edition remaster, I do recommend YOU to play the game. The franchise is a masterpiece.
There is two different endings to the game. I dare you to experience both!

I like the Idea with the game.
I don't enjoy all the bugs and glitches.

Playing PvP is hard and toxic.
You definitely need to group up with a lot of other players if you like to progress.

Overall, it's worth a try to see if this game is for you.

For now we set up a private server and adjusted settings to suit smaller groups. We like it and are enjoying the salty sea adventures.

The Witcher!!!! What a retro Roller Coaster of emotions.
The game play is super #clonkey. Loads of clipping and buggy camera.
Storywise the game is really good. I enjoy the characters and the fact that choices you make affect the story.

From time to time I find Geralt and other NPC characters get stuck in fights.
Save and load functions are good and makes the progression through hard mode enjoyable.

Controllers and how you fight are a bit different from what I'm used to but they work and I got used to them.

I do recommend this game for others that like the Witcher universe and want this retro experience to their record.

Spoiler:
I don't get the point of the sex cards. To me the game would be better without the sex part.
Romance and love for all means, but this was made without elegance nor creativity.

Fun with friends - CROSSOUT Game Review

Craft, Ride and Destroy they said, and so we did!

Cross out is a vehicle building and shoot em up, action packed Massive Multiplayer Online game, developed by Targem Games and published by Gaijin Entertainment.

I found Crossout to be an overall fun and interesting game, especially when you play online, teamed up with friends.

In lack of creativity and effort, I didn't like the tutorial. I also got some opinions on the AI and the somewhat dry storytelling. I need more of voice acting and cinematic to bond with the game on a deeper level.

I do love the building mechanism. It's really well made and opens up for me being creative with building vehicles.

There is a lot to unlock in Crossout. As a completionist this opens up my heart and love for the game.

The game is really grindy, but it will bring lots of great moments for you and your friends as you do missions, raids and adventures.

I wouldn't say this "free to play" game is pay to win with the purchase system. You pay to support the development and you are rewarded with some free stuff and faster progression.

For those that love the game and play a lot, I think the price for a year of premium subscription is fair.

Its worth a try. Stay safe. Much love.

I'm Probably NOT the best gamer in the world. But man I love gaming.
We had a first look at Final Fantasy XIV (14).

I was just thrown in to an awesome adventure.
Cool characters and awesome creatures are waiting for you in this MMORPG.

◄ POSITIVES ►
♥ Deep and detailed storytelling.
♥ Appealing graphics.
♥ Lots of customization abilities.
♥ Cross platforms (Players on Playstation can play online with PC players).
♥ Play with a game pad or use mouse & keyboard.

◄ NEGATIVES ►
● Confusing map system. As a first timer you don't know where to go.
● Sometimes there is no music.
● Some times there are voice over to the cut scenes, some times there isn't.

Sergeon Simulator
Crazy fun game / simulator from Bossa Studios.
We tried to be a surgeon for a while. We can now confirm this is not a career of mine..
Completely crazy and awesome fun! Bet it will be even more fun as you learn to actually complete the objectives.

Today I found my viking roots in the game, Valhalla Hills.
It's a sweet strategy builder game from Funatics Software.

Odin, the ruler of Asgard, is in a bad temper and trough his son and vikings out of Asgard since they lack of honor.
Your mission is to protect and help the vikings to regain their honor so they can return to Asgard.

POSITIVES:
I found the graphics very appealing (except the water line) and the viking animations are quite smooth and nice.
I like the cartoonish style and the environment looks good to my eye.
I like the music but hope it will vary a bit more since I progress trough the game.


NEGATIVES:
The game play and tutorial is confusing to me, and I don't understand exactly what I'm doing. WHat's on auto, and what's not... I think it's not to bad as soon you get the point, sort of say. I need a few hours before I get it.

So, at a first look I like the game very much and I definitely recommend others to try it.

POSITIVES:
I like the graphics and the feel to the game. Animations and sound works for me. I'm looking forward to actually learn the game.

NEGATIVES:
I experience the camera to be a bit stiff and limited. The built in tutorial left me with the feeling I got so much more to learn to actually be able to succeed. The speed phase of the tutorial is also very slow. It could be a lot faster. I also appreciate some good music to the games. The music here was very soft and relaxing. sometimes there was no music at all.

So, at a first look I like the game and I recommend others to try it.
