Rain World game review

By Roman Lanting

Rain World is a game you play as a young slug-cat, a nomadic, omnivorous creature who relies on a group of 4-5 slug-cats, intelligence, and the use of weapons such as rubbish, spear, cherrybomb, explosive spear, grenade, flashbang, beehive, and spore puffs to thrive in a world filled with predators that has periodic torrential rains. You are a nomadic slug-cat, both predator and prey in the Industrial Wastes. Hunt enough food to survive, but be wary, other, bigger creatures have the same plan. The game is run on PlayStation 4, Windows, and Nintendo Switch. Rain world costs $ 32.50 it came out in 2017 and Rain world is rated is 4.5 stars. 

The game genres are platform, survival, and simulator. The objective of rain world is to survival in a hostile world. The main goal is to find the slug-cats family. The difficulty of Rain world is hard enough to make some people want to throw their screens out their window I would compare the game to Dark souls or Hollow knight, the types of games where when you die you want to quit. The game controls are usable on a keyboard or a controller and work the same mostly though some people prefer to use the controller or keyboard, but you can use either. 

If someone is looking for a fun and difficult game, I would recommend it to them to play as the survivor character or if they want to play an easier game play, they could play as the Monk characters, either way this game is fun and an enjoyable experience all around. 

Review on Fortnite

By Max Gross

Fortnite is a third person, battle royal game, where you try to be the last man standing in an epic match. You run around the map grabbing new guns from a pistol to a sniper rifle killing all your enemies. In Fortnite you can also build when you get into a sticky situation. You fight your opponents, and the map slowly closes in, so you keep fighting with no breaks resulting in action-packed rounds. There is also a battle pass that gives you multiple skins, pickaxes, emotes and back items to drip out your character. This game is available on the switch, PC, PlayStation, Xbox and mobile. Fortnite has been out since July 21st 2017 and it was one of the top games and still is. 

I highly recommend getting Fortnite because it is a free game and cross platform meaning you can play with your PlayStation friends when you are on Xbox. I recommend this game to anybody who likes action games and gun game.  

Game review: God of war Ragnarök

By Cole Aleck

The game takes place in a place called Midgard it is a cold forest and there is a curse called Fimble winter and it is a harsh environment. 

There are 4 main characters, their names are Kratos, Atreus, Brok and Sindri. Brok and Sindri are blacksmiths that can make anything, and Kratos is a Spartan, that killed gods and destroyed towns, but was forced to do so. Atreus is an archer that has a big heart and cares for everyone, even his enemies. 

God of War starts with Kratos (the god of war) and Atreus (Loki). Loki goes hunting and gets a big deer. After he went hunting, they both went home to check on their sick dog named Fenrir, but they were too late. They mourn and bury him. Odin and Thor show up for context Kratos killed his sons and Thor wanted to pay a blood debt, that is what Thor called it. They battle but no one prevails, and Odin starts a war called Ragnarök. Near the end of the game, the main character needs to get an army to help beat them, but I will not tell you who wins the war you will have to find out for yourself. 

Thats the story, but this is what the gameplay is like. First, you usually encounter weak enemy's but they gradually get harder. Sometimes you encounter boss fights or mini bosses, they are hard to beat if you're just starting off. But the more you play, the better you get, it's not too hard. It’s a PS4 only game sadly, but hopefully it'll be on all platforms someday. You collect experience points to level up Kratos and Atreus; the more levels you get the more skills you can learn and armour you can find. You can also find runes or runic abelites that are stronger than most moves and attacks. The game is solid, there's little to no bugs, the mechanics make sense, there's a delightful story, and there's funny jokes and wholesome story telling. There is some gore, so if you don’t like that, then don’t play. Overall, I think the it is a solid game. 

Dying in Horror Games – How to do it right

Why the Video Game Industry is Dying 

By Jaymes Gill 

In the first few months of 2022 there were many major releases such as Pokémon, Elden Ring, Dying Light, just to name a few this gave us a false sensation of hope because the two biggest titles of this year Starfield and The Legend of Zelda have been repeatedly delayed to a point where people wondering if they're even coming! However, all the new game titles that have been revealed are set to release in late 2023. 

 So why are games coming late? Well as far as we can see these are the repercussions of Covid-19, because the world is still recovering from the virus and its disruptions. Game release isn’t the only factor of gaming that have been delayed or affected, updates to major game titles like Minecraft have not reached its audience as quickly as we hoped.  

However, the main reason for the video game industry ‘dying’ is ‘game quality’. Like movies, many companies are adding onto their game trilogy rather than making a completely new game, this wouldn’t be a problem, but the games or sequels are so bad because of repetitive gameplay and in-game glitches make the game indifferent from the previous game. The most notorious series that does this in Call of Duty also known as COD, another many people don’t talk about is ‘souls’ games made by ‘Fromsoftware’ the examples are Dark Souls and Demon Souls. 

Money is still rolling in for these companies because we still hope that the games will be at least mediocre but to no avail the games are still terrible every time. The video game companies that make consoles to play the games know this, so they up the prices on older, better games so you must pay more or use a subscription service to obtain these games, for “free”. They aren’t free, because you must pay every so often. They also string you along with benefits and extra features like deals, online capabilities and these let them take features that are normal and turn them into premium services. 

However, don’t give up hope, because many more games like God of War Ragnarök, and Horizon Forbidden West are coming, and they look spectacular.
