Gonna be talking about the story mode here, its fine. It does a lot of shit I would think its raw as hell and the dopest shit ever, but it probably didn't land because I don't have any connection to Tekken. They introduce quick time events at the very start, but then they hold their cards until the end for some reason. In the first chapter you get a decision to either dodge/punish as a QTE, but that's the only choice like that in the story? its weird to me.

I know people decry QTE's, so like, why am I going to bat saying this game should have them? I think Tekken story mode (and other story modes like it) are perfect to just rip of Asura's Wrath. Just fucking do that same exact system. With fighting games though, you can have like a good indepth combat system (unlike Asura's Wrath) inbetween the dope ass QTE cutscenes. Spoilers: they do do really cool shit on the last chapter with QTE's like "Press A to ackknowledge your past/press A to no longer deny yoru comrades and their bonds". That shit is fucking awesome.

Also Reina is a dopeass character, and shouts out Azucena

Arthurian Legends is a cool uh, boomer slasher I guess (sorry for my lack of knowledge). It feels really good and the levels are intricately designed. The weapon/tool diversity is really good too.

There are 9 main weapon slots, but there are multiple tools per slot sometimes. You also get 3 off hand slots that are separate things (excluding bare handed fist). There are ALSO multiple potions to drink for buffs, bear traps/caltrops to drop, and probably like 7ish spells that are considered consumables to use. There is almost an overbearing amount of things to use, and I felt like I barely used a lot of the consumeable stuff, but every thing is has its place. That's what makes a good Boomer whatever, every tool/weapon having a purpose and being good in the situations you need them. The spike club stuns enemies after you hit them if you need to stun lock particular enemies, the bastard sword has long reach and can hit multiple times per swing, but its two handed, grenades for immediate AOE, flame grenades for AOE and DOT, holy hand grenades for Fuck You moments, among some other stuff. Off hand stuff includes a shield for blocking, bare fist for 1 + 2 combos to get more damage in (feels very satisfying once you get that rhythym), a dagger for higher 1 + 2 damage, and a mini crossbow if you dont want to take out your 2 handed crossbow. Also, everything but fists/axe (base weapon) has durability or ammo. Your shield or bastard sword will deteriorate eventually, but you can just make up more to refill that. There are different tiers of shields and armour too. The spells are the big Fuck You shit that feel good and are each pretty different enough to judge what you want to use.

The levels are fills with secrets and are fun to explore. Some of the levels have real bad framerate dips though, but only a couple (to me anyways). There are 8 relics to find across the 3 chapter campaign, and they are all permanent upgrades, and I find that pretty cool. Stuff like hold more ammo, hold more tools, better armor rating, +2 to all melee damage, 50% less elemental damage.

There are also a couple of bonus modes. Arena mode has 4 different arenas you can fight through and you get a preset loadout before hand and have to fight a pre-set order of enemies. Horde mode has 2 maps (I didnt get to the second one) where you progressively unlock more load out the higher kill score you get. The enemies are randomly generate sets of 3 though. The last mode is 3 challenges you can play. The first one is a Axe and a Shield 1v1 vs every enemy in the game endurance, the second is you berserk mode fist punching like 20 enemies at once, and I didnt unlock the third.

Overall I think this is just a good Boomer whatever. Combat feels thrilling, levels are dope, and every tool/weapon fucks.

Godfist is a roguelike in which you must climb a tower to get revenge upon the Gods for killing your family. Entities in this tower are in the Gods' Domain, so they are immortal (including you), so the only real way to defeat enemies (and to lose) is to get knocked off the tower. This leads to health being calculated like Smash Bros. with a percentage meter showing how much knockback you will take.

You can either inflict damange with basic punches or with special abilities assigned to Q, E, and R. These abilities randomly roll into another one once you use it. You start with 3, and get more through chests that will add more to your pool. I think this is a fun enough premise, but the problem I'm having is that the combat isn't very interesting enough. Spam your basic bunches to (slowly) add percentage on, or spam your abilities (and the starting abilities do not feel particularly good).

Overall I think this game just needs more oomph to be good.
