A decent game but kinda basic it's missing that something

Pros You won't be able to create a character. The game is choosing for you with name/image/attributes Graphics are kinda old school and neat If you die you can resurrect by either using gems or an AD There are some choices that have some impact like when you meet the elf that helps you (Irelle) kill the giant and later down the road you can choose to side either with elves or pioneers and your 'friend' is in there also plus Majet that helped you kill The spider woman quest You can marry her if you do it right too

One sentence to summarize the quality of the game: This is the only game to actually get me to cry at a story and character deaths. The game is a realistic feeling and look into a torn apart world. Most characters react in a way you expect them to, no matter how gruesome it gets. Even if you have watched someone play this game, it is something you have to experience for yourself. 10/10 would cry again

This mix of Dungeons & Dragons and gacha is like a much better Raid: Shadow Legends

I've probably played and reviewed at least two or three dozen different gacha games at this point, but every once in a while I still manage to be really surprised and impressed by one. Dragonheir: Silent Gods is one of the most immediately intriguing and captivating gacha games I've played in ages, and one that I'm definitely planning to stick with. The first thing to know about Dragonheir is that every part of it is openly inspired by tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons. In fact, the PC version of the game has even done an official collaboration with D&D! In gameplay that terms, that means characters inspired by classic western fantasy, challenging tactical battles, and

A beautifully illustrated RPG about the grim realities of life during war? Sign us up!

One of the great things about video games is that they can cover so much territory. Take RPGs for example. You've got high fantasy escapism in series like Final Fantasy, epic sci-fi dreams of the future in stuff like Mass Effect, and strange musings on philosophy and politics in a game like Disco Elysium. Long Gone Days doesn't quite fit into any of those categories, though it's closest to the last one. This ambitious RPG follows a young man named Rourke who's been trained from birth to be a living weapon of war. Once Rourke is actually sent into battle, though, he finds himself conflicted as he comes face-to-face with disturbing realities of wartime.

This has to be the one! If you've never played a TWD game from telltale, do yourself a favour and play the whole series. One of the most heart wrenching, heart warming and beautiful stories I've ever played in a videogame. In this game, you not only choose the fate of other characters but also choose how you react or reply to someone. A simple reply may not feel like much, but some of those snowball and come back later to bite you.

Ever wish that Disco Elysium had more minotaurs and more steampunk? Check out Sovereign Syndicate

In 2019, Disco Elysium took the gaming world by storm and showed how RPGs could focus much more on storytelling and do a much better job of emulating the feeling of playing at a tabletop. Now we're just starting to see the first wave of games that seem clearly inspired by Disco Elysium, and this one just might be the first must-play RPG of 2024. This is Sovereign Syndicate, a CRPG being made by a small indie team in Canada. Like Disco Elysium, it's an RPG that's more heavily focused on narrative and dialogue, but it also sets itself apart in some key ways. For one, it's got a unique Victorian steampunk setting that looks absolutely fantastic. Fantasy creatures like minotaurs, dwarves, and cyclopes are mixed together with grimy factories, smokestacks, and zeppelins. And it all takes place in London!

NOBODY WANTS TO DIE - A THRILLING DETECTIVE NOIR

While it may be a little too slow and boring for someone hoping for extremely exciting and heart-pounding action and fighting, it's still a terrific experience for those searching for something more paced out with engaging narrative voice acting when it comes to investigating mysterious cases with the futuristic 1940s aesthetic. Consider following me on my other Social Media platforms for, Giveaways and more:

World of Horror is the closest thing to a Junji Ito story in game form, and it's finally almost done

We're always looking for the perfect game for the Halloween season, and it doesn't get much more perfect than World of Horror. In the works for years now, World of Horror is like a love letter to everything about the horror genre—but with a special focus on the unsettling body horror of manga artist Junji Ito and the unspeakable cosmic horror of author H.P. Lovecraft. What's most amazing about World of Horror is what it accomplishes with so little, though. The visuals are extremely lo-fi—in fact, the game's black-and-white art was literally created using MS Paint! Despite those humble tools, though, solo developer Panstasz has created some memorable and truly disturbing imagery.

This game is teaching me about combat skills against corrupt robots against the biomechanical virus known as The Punishing. It has taken me a bit of work to be the leader over the battle members, making decisions has been a bit difficult, because when it comes to the solution to the situation that the boys and I are going through, during the game, each good or bad decision, it has its reward and its consequence.

Would you kill a princess to save the world? Slay the Princess is game about impossible choices

SHOULD I PLAY SLAY THE PRINCESS? If you have even a passing interest in choice-based games, Slay the Princess is a must-play. When the game begins, you’re on a path towards a cabin hidden deep in the woods. When you reach that cabin, you’ll find a princess, and when you meet her, a mysterious voice tells you that she’s destined to end the world. Will you slay her, or will you save her? It’s a simple enough question, but somehow, the game stretches it to endless possibilities. What happens if you start to save her, but change your mind? What if you don’t go to the cabin at all?

Our heads are already pounding from the insane puzzles in The Talos Principle 2

Your eyes do not deceive you. The Talos Principle 2 might be one of the prettiest games releasing this year, but it's got much more than looks going for it. This brain-busting puzzle game is sure to leave players scratching their heads and fist-pumping in triumph as they work through its many riddles. If you missed 2014's The Talos Principle, it was a shockingly great first-person puzzler—shockingly because it was created by Croteam, a developer most well-known for its very-much-

MINDS BENEATH US REVIEW - A THRILLER OF MORAL CHOICES!

Whether you appreciate games for their storylines, world-building, or exciting action sequences, their capacity to entice you into their intricate worlds is often times a very challenging ordeal, especially when they are presented in a visually simple way, there are a variety of reasons why I could see you really getting into the M.B.U universe. Although there were times when the gameplay was slow, and I mean very slow, I truly appreciated everything that the game had to offer as a morally right/wrong choice.

Starfield is a buggy, frustrating mess, but I love it anyway

Starfield is a pile of mismatched puzzle pieces that don’t quite fit together. That might sound like harsh criticism, but there are plenty of times when its disjointed nature works in the game’s favor. There are a million things to do in Starfield at any given point in time, so when one aspect of the game wasn’t working for me, I could just focus on something else. Directing my attention towards a specific gameplay mechanic or subplot usually made

The Lifeline series is definitely one of the best choice-based games on mobile. I like the first one the most. Players will communicate with Taylor through real-time messages to guide him to survive a spaceship disaster. The dialogues are well-written. A truly immersive interactive experience.

As a big fan of Witcher 3 and the card game within the game I love the GWENT mobile game. Now ALSO as a fan of roguelites, adding that into the GWENT structure is a brilliant idea where each run, EVERY choice matters. Restore mana or get a card? Level up your wizard or snag that legendary beast that fits well into your deck? #Bestchoicebasedgames contender for sure.

Hello everyone.  Today I would like to introduce you to a title in which I think our decisions have a big impact.  This war is mine, forces us to make decisions in very difficult circumstances, being a civilian during the war.  Are you stealing an elderly couple for a few bandages, food or fuel?  Will you hurt others to survive?  How far will you go in the war to survive?  The answer to this question may have a bearing on your survival in the days to come.  The choices we have before us are often highly moral.

Roto Force: A High-Energy Shooter with Fast-Paced Action and Retro Charm

"Roto Force" is like a high-energy rollercoaster wrapped in a top-down shooter package. If you've ever wanted a game to fry your brain in the best possible way while keeping you glued to your screen, the game is your jam. The premise? Simple. You're a tiny hero tasked with blasting through enemies across crazy, rotating levels. Each stage has unique themes, enemies, and hazards, so there's no room for boredom here. The gameplay revolves around you zooming in a circular arena, dodging bullets, and dishing out chaos. It's fast, chaotic, and oh-so-satisfying when you nail a level after a dozen tries.

Until Then - A Bundle Of Spectacular Sparks Filled With Emotions & Adventure.

'Until Then' is truly a one-of-a-kind game. The intro, art style, narration, story, characters, music, dialogues, mini-games, and everything else were really impressive. After finishing the game, I felt like rain had washed over me. At first, I was caught off guard (especially because of the final scene) and soon felt the coldness of the rain. But then I was happy and content with how everything seemed to make sense. When it was finally over, it left me feeling a bit empty as well.

A roguelite deckbuilding dungeon-crawler. Better than other deck-building roguelikes/roguelites (Pirates Outlaws, Dawncaster, Night of the Full Moon, Phantom Rose Scarlet, Meteorfall, Void Tyrant, Spellswords, etc.). Easier to replace cards, choose path within dungeon, visit shrines (to heal HP or remove curses) located at different paths. Have partner system; you don't fight alone any more. Deep customization on deck playstyle, runes on cards (adds extra effect), character talents, buffs/debuffs passives, character class, & 1-use items.
