The Long Wait To Review: ‘Mutant Year Zero: Seed Of Evil’

Funcom gave me the opportunity to play the DLC for Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden titled “Seed of Evil” which follows the events of the main story where the world is now slowly being choked by vines and friends and enemies disappear and come back different, it’s up to our mutant heroes to save the day once again. The DLC picks up right where the first game ends, so it’s advisable to complete the main play through before playing the DLC as the enemies you will be facing have higher difficulty levels unless you’ve leveled up. The DLC is very much like the main story in terms of art, sound, playability, and overall fun. If you’re curious about what I thought about the main story, you can check out my review of it. I’m thankful for the opportunity Funcom gave me to play this game but I got to be a little mean right now. The biggest problem with

Game Review: ‘The Church In The Darkness’

Fellow Traveler and Paranoid Productions indoctrinated me into the Collective Justice Mission and have sent me down to South America to join my fellow members of the congregation in Freedom Town… Well, they were just cool enough to let me try out their game The Church in the Darkness. The game takes place in the 1970s where you take on the role of an ex-cop named Vic who infiltrates the Collective Justice Mission cult’s paradise Freedom Town in what seems to be an eerie parody of Jonestown. Vic’s mission is to find his nephew Alex to see if he’s alright but soon after you arrive, you realize not everything is well. The game is a top view game where you can zoom in a little bit to see more details but other than that, this is the only angle you will see.

‘We Happy Few’ DLC ‘Lightbearer’ Is A Trippy Must!

Gearbox Software and Compulsion Games in recent months released a Season Pass for their dystopian psychedelic mod game, We Happy Few. Gearbox was kind enough to share with me the season pass so I can experience one of three DLCs, this one in particular titled Lightbearer that follows a rock icon of the fictional English Island-state of Wellington, Nick Lightbearer. Lightbearer appears in the main game for a short time but images of him are everywhere. In the Lightbearer DLC, it becomes obvious that there are two kinds of people in Wellington, those who still like Nick Lightbearer, and those who despise him. Nick’s star is quickly fading as all the sex, and drugs are killing his rock and roll life. Nick is troubled not only by the fact that he’s burning out but that there’s a series of murders taking place around the hotel he’s staying at, and he’s linked to them! Not onto the game. Nick, being a

Game Review: ‘Tetsumo Party’ Is A Party You Want To Pass On

Monster Couch was kind enough to give me a chance to try out their party game based on a Japanese game show, Tetsumo Party, which is coming out on July the 26th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Woovit. The main premise of the game is that players take on the role of a sumo wrestler and control his limbs so he’s able to fit through a human-shaped hole in a bamboo wall. This idea is also the basis for a real-life Japanese game show that was adapted a few years ago for American television and renamed Hole in the Wall. Tetsumo Party features a variety of characters that can be unlocked by completing challenges that each character has. Being a party game, up to eight players can play at one time on two controllers.
