Boardgame unboxing+ First play review: Edge of Darkness-Kickstarter with stretch goals

Image
Disclaimer: Since this game is on my wish-list for more than 2 years now, this review will be filled with my personal views, emotions and thoughts. Part one: the story Edge of Darkness is a new game from AEG that we "just recently"(a year ago) kickstarted. We first heard of it from a "sellsheet" on the end page of Mystic Vale rules and were instantly drawn. We loved Mystic Vale, and I personally adored the Card Crafting System as they call it or "Cardbuilder" mechanics as I call it. Combining this system into a more complex game and embedded in a theme that involves fight, count me in!!! So needless to mention when it came on kickstarter we were all in and already hyped for a fair amount of time. We decided to take the GUILDMASTER pledge that allows us to have all the stretch goals, but not to take any add-on's as we knew it would be a fairly big game and thought we will see the game first before we decide if we want expansions for it.

Videogame review: Resident evil IV

Before first person horror games, with lots of jump scares, darkness, no weapons, madness, and helplessness became popular, on consoles we could play horrors like Project Zero, Silent hill and Resident evil. They were different horror experiences than today’s games where you were feared despite the fact you had pistol, shotgun and were well trained policeman or agent. Horror games from that time were played from third person perspective, similar to adventure games, but with possibility of shooting. What you like more depends of personal taste. I must confess that I tried playing Resident evil 4 in 2005. when it came out on PS2, but I didn't like it very much, so I passed only one level and put it on a shelf. Not long ago, Resident evil 7 came out, so I decided to play one of the older Resident evil games. So, I looked in my steam library, searching for the oldest one I have (I thought that it was Resident evil 5 – the first that came out on PS3), and I installed Resident e

Videogame review: SUPERHOT

Image
Okay, is everybody insane? So Superhot has had many reviewers, magazines, web sites and players call it “the most innovative FPS in the last couple of years”. Innovative… yes, FPS… not in my opinion even though it is first person. I would put the game in puzzle genre or possibly FPWS (first person wannabe shooter). Mainly if you are wandering whether the game justifies all this hype and even more it’s cost. Short answer is NO. Superhot is perhaps the biggest playable fraud in the last couple of years, but it is also an excellent marketing move by its developers. I mean they did manage to sell the game without any textures (white and orange 3d models) and a 2 hours playtime to a bunch of people for 25 € and all under the marketing trick of matrix in the first person, while the only thing they did was make time move only when you press a key. So you are not any kind of Neo who can avoid bullets, you are simply a character who can do little to assess the situation and decide where t
