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...
Anachrony comes in quite a large box, much larger than I like my boxes to be, I generally like to have most of my games in standard boardgame boxes, although with a hype of kickstarters and new trends in boardgameing it looks like a “standard boardgame box” size is going to increase in the next few years. But no sidetracking… the size of this particular box is a little bigger than a3 paper and 10 cm thick. Let’s see what’s inside this big boy… Opening it up I found myself in a conundrum, I see no link between the size of the box and it’s components, this may be due to the fact that I have not purchased the version with miniatures but rather the one without them. Perhaps they both come in the same box… Still opening it up, you get two rulebooks (english and german) a solid amount of nice thick punch-outs, three stack of cards, a main board, 4 player-boards, a chronobot board, 4 path boards, polybag of nicely etched and well rounded dice, polybag of tokens and ...
Wasteland express delivery service comes in what you would call a big box, not a standard boardgame big box but almost twice as thick. When picking it up you can immediately notice it's weight and that there is not a lot of air in this box… so… let's open it up 😊 When you first open it you see rules, and underneath them is a fat stack of cardboard and a lot of plastic inserts, and since the box is really not oversized the inserts aren’t empty even at this point. Just seeing these inserts makes your inner OCD jump up in joy. Opening the cardboard stack you see 14 good quality punch out boards. As I said not all the inserts are empty inside one of them are two stacks of cards and one polybag of playing dice, inside another is a small bunch of plastic minnies. Cards when opened are a bit thin for my taste, I personally prefer MTG card thickness, and this is more on the lines of Legendary. The dice are beautifully carved and are a bit on the edgy side, but ...
