Ghostrunner - Jump,Slash,Die,Repeat

Image
 Ghostrunner is a first-person platformer set in a cyberpunk world with high difficulty trial and error style of gameplay that may not be for everyone Presentation- Ghostunner is set in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world where you a cyborg ninja aka Ghostrunner finds himself without any memories but slick katana and voice in his head. Most of the story in Ghostrunner is limited to the background with characters talking and providing exposition while you play in fact you rarely see anyone else other than yourself and the enemies. The story of the game is pretty predictable if you have seen, read or played any media with a cyberpunk theme. The voice acting on the other hand is very well done especially your AI which guides you through the game.

As for the visuals, the game looks absolutely gorgeous with effe...

Presentation- Doom Eternal picks up some time after the events of Doom(2016) with the Doomslayer now having his own castle aka The Fortress of Doom.

The visual design on the other hand has seen a major improvement.Instead of the one facility on Mars you travel to many different locations in Doom Eternal like Old Castles,Hell consumed Earth and well Mars again.The game also has re...

Persona 3 FES is a game of many strengths which not only brought the franchise into mainstream but also laid the groundwork for it's successors to work on.   With the release of Persona 5 Royal just around the corner I decided to take a look at Persona 3 the first one in the series to have an enhanced version i.e Persona 3 FES and see what's in it to make it a fan favourite as well as the systems it introduced to the series. Since the game is divided into two parts I am gonna review them individually The Journey The journey is the main story mode of the game featuring the protagonist. Presentation- Persona 3 has you take control of a nameless protagonist as he transfers to the city of Port Island for his high school.But things are not as simple,when a mysterious disease called Apathy Syndrome starts spreading the protagonists discovers about another hour in the day called the Dark Hour which is only experienced by some.A time where a huge tower called Tarta...
