![]() ![]() Set around the events of the fourth movie, but never getting specific, Mad Max finds our hero getting kicked to the curb by the son of Immortan Joe and having to rebuild his car and his body, I guess the second one is more than just an upgrade system, but the car is really the selling point. So, in 2015, when a PS4 game set in the Mad Max universe was released, I was all about it. The film series is of the rare breed that it has far more good entries than bad (looking at you, Thunderdome). Once, I was a cop, a road warrior…okay, I don’t remember the rest and don’t really want to check it, but I freaking LOVE Mad Max. Will you be brave enough to solve the mystery of D2? The game is available at Start Over Games right now for $189.99. Upon release, the game was panned by critics, earning a 69 out of 100 on metacritic, with critics praising the horror aspects of the game, but really not liking the actual mechanics that you use to play. As our main character explores the woods surrounding the cabin she takes up residence in after she falls from the sky, she begins to run around monsters and other crazy things as she uncovers what REALLY happened in the crash and if she’s really crazy. Turns out, a lot of people can survive plane crashes. The sequel to D in name only, the original D was a puzzle game while D2 is more of a survival horror game, D2 is about a plane crash, a plane crash that occurs due to circumstances that would not have been allowed to be part of this game had it been released a year earlier. And, while some of them haven’t aged well, it’s worth it to see the video game time capsule open up and have something different from Mario. There’s some really good games for the Dreamcast. The last gasp of a company to stay relevant while, at the same time, actually being a pretty good console, certainly ahead of its time in a bunch of ways. Shadows of Adam is available right now at Start Over Games for $36.99.Īh, the Dreamcast, everyone’s favorite…well, okay, to be honest, the Dreamcast is a bit of a strange egg in the video gaming world. There weren’t a ton of reviews on metacritic, but those that were praised the game for it’s presentation and gameplay and didn’t like that it wasn’t as long as your typical JRPG, only about 10-12 hours, but honestly, as an adult with stuff to do, I kinda like shorter games, but that’s a rant about game length for another day. Plus, because it’s a limited run release, you get a physical copy, instead of just getting a digital copy. It’s clear the developers took their time and passion and put it in every aspect of this game. You get to explore dungeons, build up a party of unique characters, and fight cool-looking bosses. ![]() We are treated to a story about a young hero venturing into the world to save her father and the entire world, as per usual in these types of games. Shadows of Adam, available for the Nintendo Switch, aims to reignite your love for those kind of games. The limited graphical power forced the story and characters to take on the weight of the game and yet we can still look back on those games as having amazing art design, capturing unique worlds with as few resources as possible. I think we can safely say that the 16-bit era of JRPGs was the greatest era in all video games. ![]()
