My Steam Game Reviews (July 2023)

 Shank 2:

I have started to game in trails of my childhood nostalgia. Let me utter my insight for Shank 2.
Shank 2 has plentiful potential attributes on its inside. Firstly, hits, melee fights, chainsaw, game design, etc. feel satisfactory for an underground beat'em up. Contrary to these positive properties, the game consists of tonnes of movement and map bugs and sometimes that felt irritating due to dying several times caused by bugs. However, the main logic depends on playing the game continuously, again and again, to get higher points in the leaderboard. That's why, you are not hesitating the play the same chapter of the map again. Nevertheless, too much stress can lead to cancer :).

Note: The game is not hard as mentioned in the Steam comments section.




Age of History 2: 


If you demand a low-level strategy game with merely consists of some basic dynamics, that's the game you're searching for. I'll quickly classify the positive and negative aspects below to provide an insight into the Age of History 2. Let me start.


What are the positive sides?


- If you like map-based strategy games, you could like to play.

- It's easy to grip the logic of the game through straightforward game interfaces.

- It has a relatively cheap price

- The game repeats itself so much after a liminal point.

Mount & Blade Warband:


The Masterpiece
I spent several years in this game [approx. 1k. hours]. The genre of the game is RPG and sandbox medieval. It definitely triggers you to continue to play if you are a geek of medieval content. Additionally, the sandbox world is shaped by your decisions. Hereby, I want to indicate that the feedback and behaviors of the game are fair enough. I overwhelmingly recommend playing at least one time.




Cities Skylines:

The Peak Point of City Simulation Games

Yes, Cities Skylines overwhelmingly dominates all city simulation games in the industry with wide DLC and mod supports. Initially, I want to explain some things about the game.

The game consists of tonnes of details such as typical infrastructures, roads, unique crossroad designs, service buildings, leisure zones, etc. In addition to all of these details mentioned previously, you can feed your game experience through DLCs like University, Industry, Mass Transit, etc. As a recommendation, I strongly advise to being patient for new starters. Game dynamics and logic are hard temporarily. Nevertheless, you will be adapted to the game after the collapsing 3 or 4 cities. Whatever, let me give you some extra advice and tips;

- Create highways that roundabout your city without any hesitation
- Do not intersect all crossroads at the same point and same road line
- Use more services buildings with low-budget
- Do not mix commercial, residential, and industrial zones if you are not obliged. Instead, bind the zones to each other through highways.
- If you have University DLC, do not create university competition in your city.
- Initialize the sports and varsity activities by building stadiums as soon as possible. That causes the low traffic flow and high income tentatively.
- Disseminate the commercial zones across the different points of the city. Thus, not every citizen has to a long distance to reach any commodity.

Summary: As long as you have good traffic flow, everything will proceed flawlessly.



Vampire Survivors: 

MASTERPIECE WARNING!
Overwhelmingly addictive game with gambling details and a satisfying prizing system.

Vampire Survivors has multiple different character-build systems and character genres owing to absolutely different arms and map contents. It also includes an addictive game style. But how? Do you wonder about it? Let me evaluate the game, first.
All characters have 6 active and passive items. The combination of passive and active items may unite the totally overpowered evolution. Additionally, you have to kill the special bosses that raid you at specific times with their swarms. Hereby, you can get the chests. That's the point for indicating because the chest unlocking animation absolutely referred to jackpots. All of these details cause a loss of time perception while playing. Thus, you will be addicted to the game at the end of the story.
Other than that, you will be prized with a diamond that gains you experiment when enemy swarms rush onto you continuously. All leveling-up steps provide 3 different chances to build up your decks with the 6 active and passive items slots mentioned above. Finally, you have to find different relics that provide permanent impacts and properties for your gameplay experience. That's the basically summary of the all game.
Summary: Get a girlfriend, go to the gym, and study for your lectures.
Summary: As long as you have good traffic flow, everything will proceed flawlessly.
