Is Dishonoured 2 any Good?

Corvo and Emily

Dishonoured 2 is the sequel to dishonoured. Dishonoured 1 was a critically acclaimed action/ adventure, stealth game in which you play Corvo Attano, the royal protector. The reason that the general consensus was that Dishonoured was a good game was the amount of choice it gave the player. Odds are that if you have a tough time sneaking through a part of the game there is a better way to do it if you explore the world. Exploring the well fleshed out world that Dishonoured provided was a joy as well as the powers you received for doing so. Dishonoured 2 is not revolutionary in the way that the first one was, in fact it is more of the same. However this might not be all bad considering how good the first game was, if it isn't broken don't fix it. Dishonoured 2's biggest change was in your ability to chose which character you play. This choice is presented to the player incredibly early and is final, however this is a game that warrants more than one play through so pick whatever your gut tells you. If you played the first game you are going to be instantly familiar as not much has changed in the world of Dishonoured. Corvo has the exact same powers as the first game, however with upgrades, all his powers pale in comparison to his blink, blink is his mobility power. Emily is the opposite her far reach mobility power is incredibly weak however her other powers make up for it's lack of power.  Just like the first game there is the lethal and non lethal play style giving you different endings.

Dishonoured 2 has a terrible PC port. This is evident in the low frames the sluggish mouse. The port is so bad in fact that I can't recommend this game as of right now for PC. There are no such issues on console and I wholeheartedly recommend the game for console. There are several patches being rolled out on PC which may fix the issues although it may not considering it is running on the void engine which is a modified id tech 5 engine with several problems. Overall keep your eye on the game if you are interested but only have a PC.

Conclusion

Dishonoured 2 is more of a good thing. It has improved various systems though in small ways. Dishonoured 2 is not innovative at all, however it is at it's core a good video game. It is compelling to play both play styles and has a compelling story with different interesting tidbits depending on which character you play. 

Is Diablo lll ROS any good?

Is Diablo ROS 3 any Good

Choosing a class

Recently I've come back to what was at launch Blizzard entertainment's biggest disappointment in my eyes, however it has changed a lot since it's initial release. Diablo 3 is a dungeon crawler hack and slash. At launch the hacking and slashing wasn't much fun, however since release they have released new more interesting enemies that enhance the experience from what it once was. Not only this but the loot system has been made better with more interesting drops making the game overall more satisfying. The classes are Barbarian, Crusader, Monk, Wizard, Witch Doctor and Demon Hunter. While people will have their opinions as to which is best I believe they are well balance. Lately the content updates have been getting less common however the developers have recently renewed their support for the game and large updates are on their way in the coming months.

Later on the game fight

Platform

Diablo 3 was harshly criticized for being less like the dungeon crawlers of old of which it inspired. It should also be mentioned that the most recent content, the Diablo 1 dungeon is not very good, I don't believe that it is a sign of what is to come but it should be mentioned. While this remains true it is less so and the hack and slash that it has adopted in its most recent iteration has gotten more fun. As a staple series of the dungeon crawler genre it does not have as much innovation as it should although I admit I am holding it to a higher stranded considering the previous games.

Conclusion

Overall Diablo is a much better game than it was on launch is slowly clawing it's way back to life through the determination of Blizzard. It has made vast improvements since its launch and I believe is worth a try if you enjoyed Diablo 2 or other dungeon crawlers but are OK with a somewhat more casual experience.

Is Warhammer: End-times Vermintide any good

Warhammer: End-times Vermintide

The playable characters

Is Warhammer: End-times Vermintide any good? As an overall game yes as of late, no. Vermintide is a game that takes the Left 4 Dead formula and uses a Chivalry style combat system. This means that there are four players mowing down in this case Scaven with special enemies on the prowl. Chivalry style combat gives it the first person melee combat that is how you will be using to mow down the vast majority of the enemy. You can play as one of six characters, The Waywatcher, Dwarf Ranger, Empire soldier, Bright Wizard and Witch Hunter. They all have different skills and abilities. Whether it be the many guns of the Witch Hunter, the flames of the bright wizard or the shield of the Dwarf Ranger they all play relatively balanced and different. The melee combat is meaty in that when you hit a vermin it feels as though you truly crushed them. This all sounds well and good, however the developer ,Fatshark has put little content into the game since launch. 

Some game play

Platform

The loot system is core to the game. Most of the loot is interesting in how it changes the players play style depending on the type, more rare items have more interesting effects. Overall Vermintide is a good game however it does falter in the area of new contents and the loot system.

Conclusion

 Overall Vermintide is a good game however it does falter in the area of new contents and the loot system. If you are the type of person okay with grinding and like the left for dead formula this game is for you.
