Mount & Blade: Warband – I Just Can’t Wait to be King

Stache 0 Comments , , , ,

During last year’s Steam Winter Sale, there was a intriguing game with a mind-boggling proportion of positive reviews, many clocking over a thousand hours of play and telling epic and absurd stories of gameplay. I went and bought the series without a second thought. It was pretty cheap, after all. And then I…didn’t touch it. Left it to gather dust in my Library. This little contest allowed me to redeem myself. The Mount & Blade franchise is made of the titular Mount & Blade, Mount & Blade: Warband, which is pretty much the finished, updated version of the original, its… [Continue Reading]

Secrets of Rætikon Review (RRR)

SilverWolf 1 Comment , ,

In “Secrets of Rætikon”, (Ra-tih-kon, apparently, before you ask.) you play as this little feathered guy. (He’s hiding in the screenshot.) You traverse the world through flight and subtle tutorial messages as you search for small triangular pieces. These are used in conjunction with towers. providing you, for a nominal fee, of course, with Shards. They are the crucial pieces of the game, serving as keys to unlocking what I presume to be a vault. The game is, for the most part, calm and charming. But the fight for survival is still very much a part of the game with… [Continue Reading]

Spractured Face

DapperApples 0 Comments , , , ,

Fractured Space is a 5v5 team based space capital ship battle game with vague MOBA influences.  Its also an “early access” game (ew).  Normally the game runs for 10 US Bucks, plus micro transactions, but there was a sale a few months ago where the game could be gotten for free, permanently.  So naturally I got it and proceeded to never actually install it, much less play it.  Until Today… The game’s progression follows a World of Tanks sort of model.  You get tech points when you use a ship, and you spend those points on a tech tree to… [Continue Reading]

Overlord – It’s Good to be Bad

Stache 0 Comments , , ,

Once upon a time, there was a fantastic land plagued with a great evil. People lived in fear of the Overlord. But seven valiant heroes set out to defeat him, ultimately succeeding in slaying the malevolent being and destroying his tower. And everyone lived happily ever after…for a couple years; evil always finds a way, and that’s where you come into play. In the dark depths of the tower’s dungeon, you are revived, pulled out of your coffin in the dark depths of the tower’s dungeon, shoved into a suit of armor, and summarily crowned as the new Overlord by the Minions, little… [Continue Reading]

Riveting Reviews of Randomness – WINNERS!

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I wouldn’t call Riveting Reviews of Randomness a huge success, but it’s definitely been fun, and the handful of reviews we’ve received have been pretty good. Well written. With pictures, just like I asked. We’ve got a week’s worth of articles thanks to you lot! It has been a pleasant change, playing games that we’ve been meaning to try for ages and perhaps clearing off our backlog. I still have a ton of unplayed games, but Dino D-Day was a pleasant change of pace and aabicus now feels far less guilty about not playing Lakeview Cabin Collection. Enough talking, you… [Continue Reading]

Review Lakeview Cabin Collection

aabicus 0 Comments ,

(Heads up, Minecraft-graphics nudity and sexual content in the screenshots) I can’t believe it took me an entire half-year to finally play this game Dapper Apples got me for Christmas. It’d been on my radar since playing the original flash game, as the author showed he was more than capable of migrating the unique ontological sandbox horror gameplay into newer, larger settings. Lakeview Cabin Collection lives up to the model of its predecessor while expanding greatly on the player’s options; framing itself as a series of horror films, each episode traps 4 characters in a classic horror setting and the… [Continue Reading]

Riveting Reviews of Randomness – Dino D-Day

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Today is the final date for entries for our review contest! Get your entries in before midnight of today for a final chance to win some awesome games. And to celebrate the contest and spur you on, here’s my review for Dino D-Day. I’ve got so many unplayed games, but I don’t know why Dino D-Day is among them. Maybe it’s because most of the dinosaurs are Nazis, but it’s not really their fault. When I mentioned it to aabicus, among the many other unplayed games I have, he said that it was a ghost town. But is it? I… [Continue Reading]

Little-Known TF2 Mechanics

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , , ,

In order to make this list, said TF2 mechanic needs to (1) heavily affect some aspect of playing the game normally, (2) be completely unexplained or hidden, and (3) be something I somehow only learned in 2016 despite my pathological addiction to analyzing every facet of this game. I’ve divided the list into three “major” and three “minor” mechanics. Major 1: Projectile Models on some weapons affect aerodynamics. Several of the projectiles in TF2 actually care about the drag on the fired projectile, which means that, for example, most of the grenade launchers fire even more differently than their stats… [Continue Reading]

Five Free Weapons in Payday 2 Every Player Should Try

aabicus 0 Comments , , ,

In honor of my favorite pistol (number 3 on this list) getting its first ever skin in the most recent Sydney safe, I thought I’d write a Payday 2 article designed for new players, showcasing a number of free weapons that you should definitely give a shot. This guide assumes you own none of the paid DLC, and are subscribed to the Payday Steam Group for the free community weapons. 1. Platypus Sniper rifle – Sniper rifles in Payday 2 come with infinite penetration, meaning that you can kill as many cops as you line up. Even more importantly, it can penetrate Shields,… [Continue Reading]

Wrap Assassin updates

aabicus 0 Comments , ,

The updates hardly did anything, but I’m still immensely satisfied with the changes Valve made to the Wrap Assassin. Since my last article on this weapon, there have been two buffs. The first turned the ornament into a pseudo-explosive that deals area-of-effect but only bleed on a direct hit, which was driving me nuts because I didn’t actually know that when I recently picked the weapon back up, so I couldn’t figure out why I frequently got a hitsound but no resulting bleed hitsounds. But now that I understand it, I’m 100% okay with the entire concept. After all, previously nothing happened… [Continue Reading]
