CRYPTMASTER - A UNIQUE BLEND OF WORDLE-STORY DUNGEON CRAWLING

Whether you enjoy testing yourself with WPM gameplay or prefer a unique and well-crafted experience that will have you clutching your sides with laughter and fascinating characters and story. CryptMaster is a game you should not miss out on. There is so much here that is both distinct and borrowed from other games. It's not often that you see the genre of typing combined with dungeon crawling, exploration, and combat. It all works so well which is very surprising with the fantastic visual expressions, and you also have a huge list of phrases and dialog that you can use to converse with the narrator at any point, you'd be astonished how many lines of dialogue they managed to pack into this experience which was all hand crafted. Many assume that it was created using AI, but in actuality, the developers sat down and attempted to think up every possible conversation you might type and simply added in a response or secret interaction. I definitely see how the visuals seem robotic, but all in all it's a uniquely human created experience.

TapTap Game of the Year 2023 #6: Final Fantasy XVI - the next step for gaming’s greatest series

I realize that headline might be a little provocative. Gaming’s greatest series? Really? Well, yes. For my money, at least, no single franchise has had a larger impact on my personal life in video games than Final Fantasy. The original game introduced me to Japanese RPGs. Final Fantasy VI taught me how much a video game story could affect me. Final Fantasy XIV is probably the best MMORPG ever made.

Insomniac hacks reveal Marvel's Spider-Man 3, an X-Men game, multiplayer projects, and even more

Sony-owned developer Insomniac Games has had a pretty good year, what with the release of the much-loved Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and increasing hype for the previously announced Marvel's Wolverine (image from the trailer above). 2023 is ending on a bit of a frustrating note for Insomniac, though, albeit one that will just make gamers more hype: A massive leak has revealed no less than six upcoming games from the studio, several of which are unannounced.

A better-than-average gacha that could use more content

Grand Quest just entered open beta, and as someone who's always searching for my next go-to gacha game, I had to give it a shot. So far, I'm definitely pretty impressed, though it has some work to go. Perhaps the biggest surprise in Grand Quest, especially when compared to other gacha games, is that the story is pretty entertaining and well-translated. Much of it is told through stylish comic book-panel cutscenes, and I was shocked to find myself actually enjoying getting to know these characters.

Attention Atelier fans! This cozy crafting RPG is a must-play

SHOULD I PLAY WITCHSPRING R? WitchSpring R instantly reminded me of the Atelier series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you won’t want to miss this one. It’s an incredibly cute and charming RPG, but it’s not shallow either. There’s real depth to its gameplay and characters, and its story is much more interesting than it initially seems to be. It’s a great mix of a fantasy adventure and a slice-of-life story, and that combination is hard to resist.

RHYTHM SPROUT - AN UPBEAT & RHYTHM ADVENTURE!

While the game is awfully short, it provides a lot of replay-ability, allowing you to either sit back and relax to the music or really challenge yourself to go for those difficult end game accomplishments to unlock new clothes and weaponry cosmetics. Not only is it a great rhythm experience, but it also tells you a ridiculous tale while being incredibly energetic and fun, to the point that you can't help but jam along.

This creepy platformer just might give you nightmares

SHOULD I PLAY UGLY? Give Ugly a go if you’re into platformers, puzzlers, or dark fairy-tale worlds. Even though controlling two characters simultaneously in a mirrored world can be incredibly disorienting, Ugly’s puzzle mechanics are truly unique and blend perfectly with the game’s dark atmosphere. And though I wouldn't classify Ugly as horror, there were still plenty of twisted memories to unlock that genuinely gave me the creeps.

A Sneak Peek @ Killer Frequency

Back Again, with your latest bit of Indie Investigating. This time, it's Team 17 Digital's darkly funny narrative title 'Killer Frequency'- which takes the campy idea of a Slash Plot, and has a good bit of fun with it. Tune In, Check Out, Leave a Not-So-Pretty Corpse While there's plenty of stories in Gallows Creek- none invoke quite as much fear as that of 'The Whistling Man', a serial killer who ran rampant in the 50's, before the police were finally able to put him down.

Journey Through Time: Father and Son Review

Embarking on the digital odyssey of "Father and Son" was more than just playing a game; it was an emotional pilgrimage. Having lost my father in October 2023, the parallels with the protagonist's quest for his own paternal history struck deep chords of emotion. The game became a poignant exploration of both the tangible artifacts in Naples' Archaeological Museum and the intangible relics of my own memories.

Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story is truly amazing, and impactful! 2. The voice acting is amazing! 3. The music is riveting in battle! 4. The combat is simple but very engaging nonetheless! 5. The various functions in the outpost make this game so much easier to enjoy! 6. The characters look amazing! 7. The game itself is very beautiful! 8. Most of the characters have their own back story, which really makes you remember a character when they are not in your midst, or at least "bond" with them. 9. There are animated cutscenes from time to time. 10. The occasional texts from Nikkes is pretty refreshing sometimes. 11. The chibi models are cute. 12 The synchro device is amazing! The five highest level Nikkes are automatically allocated to the device, to which you can then add any Nikke in an empty slot, and they will be "synced" to that level. That only applies so long as they are in a slot, removing them will return them to their original level. This means you don't have to always upgrade/level up a Nikke to increase their level. Dislikes: A lot of reliance on stats to progress. 2. The SSR molds don't guarantee an SSR Nikke. Now a few important notes/tips: This is an idle game at heart, despite the gameplay being shooter action rpg, so if idle games are not your thing, this may not be for you. 2. Resources are valuable/scare, so spend sparingly. 3. As an idle game, you are not meant to plow through the campaign. 4. The story itself can be very heartbreaking, so if you are faint of heart, either look away, or tread carefully. Finally, this game isn't challenging for the most part, but requires patience above all else. Also, I am in chapter 5, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far and thus, I may update this as time goes on.

Pine: A Story of Loss A Heartfelt Journey Through Grief

Hey Tap Tap family I love story and you guys know that but right now Most games focus on action, adventure, or high energy excitement like battle Royal, FPS or Tps games. But still here some games that have great story to live that tech you something that you can use in your life, a game that tells a deeply personal story one that stays with you long after you finished playing the game. If you like emotional, story driven experiences that explore themes of love, grief, and healing, then this game is for you.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis isn’t terrible, but did anyone really want a gacha version of FF7?

SHOULD I PLAY FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS? If you’re a truly obsessive fan of the Final Fantasy franchise in general or Final Fantasy VII in particular, then you already know you’re going to be playing this. For more casual fans or total newcomers, though, Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis will be a pretty poor introduction. This new mobile version advertises itself as offering the totality of the Final Fantasy VII

Punishing: Gray Raven The story is about a post-apocalyptic world where technology is advance enough to transfer human consciousness to an advance robot, and they use this advancements to fight a virus who's goal is to wipe humanity. The story telling is very detailed, in a way that makes you imagine a scene based on the words displayed. The characters are well developed as all of them have backgrounds, and all of it correlates to each other and to the whole lore. This game also makes stories for minor characters which the significance is lower than an npc to set the foundation and atmosphere of the lore, this way of storytelling really makes the story profound. Each of this minor stories aren't irrelevant as they further describe the universe this game takes place.

This anime fighting game-inspired roguelite deserves your attention

SHOULD I PLAY BLAZBLUE ENTROPY EFFECT? Definitely give this one a shot if you’re a fan of great roguelites or the action-packed anime aesthetic of the BlazBlue series. This spin-off, BlazBlue Entropy Effect, sees familiar characters, move sets, and thumb-crushing combos of the BlazBlue fighting games translated into a roguelite action game formula. That makes for a challenging experience, but thanks to a tightly designed progression system and an intriguing story, I found it hard to put this game down.

I waited years for this campaign and it’s so disappointing - Overwatch 2 PvE Mode Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY OVERWATCH 2 PVE MODE? Play it if you really like Overwatch 2. After a few years of waiting, Overwatch 2’s PvE mode is finally here and it’s probably one of the most disappointing events since the launch of the game itself. It’s not completely terrible or unplayable, it’s just okay. The campaign introduces three short story missions, as well as some challenges that provide loot and experience, but that’s about it. This lack of content, especially after waiting for what feels like a century, was very dissatisfying—and it all ended on a cliffhanger too. How infuriating!
