Dying Light 2 – Review
2015’s Dying Light filled in as a much needed refresher in a generally stuffed kind. Around 90% of zombie games follow a do this process again recipe, where you drop into an area, rummage for things, and destroy floods of the undead. There was an obtrusive absence of innovativeness, and essentially, everybody began putting out a ‘Left 4 Dead’ clone. Techland, notwithstanding, adopted a more crude strategy by empowering players to run and make due.

The continuation vows to enhance these establishments, and brings a decision framework that effectsly affects the encompassing scene. The story is set 20 years a...

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 – Review
With the astounding success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the emergence of more obscure and lesser known characters, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a game that really capitalizes on this.

Wulverblade – Review
Brutal, bloody and barbaric, Wulverblade is a 2D side-scrolling beat ’em up set in 120 AD during a time when the Roman Empire was trying to conquer Britain from the South. With a very colourful yet dark artstyle, it blends the cartoon-y artstyle with a very authentic representation of the war-torn lands during that time period. Character sprites are made in 1080p to have clarity and sharpness and is good but at times can feel a bit too cartoon-y for a game that is so gritty. The whole art style is beautiful and portrays the time period and setting really well, however some might feel it looks like a well done flash game but dont let that fool you since it is quite brutal with execution moves and lot of blood and dismemberment that doesn’t look gruesome with the artstyle but it ...
