My LIMBO Review

Originally written on 9/12/10

Wow. The best word used to describe LIMBO. I honestly think Limbo can safely be called a masterpiece. This won't be a long review because it's impossible to explain the experience you have while playing.

This game has not a single word of dialogue yet it is one of my favorite stories in a game. The story is completely open for interpretation, and it provides the tools for you to actually use that thing you have in your head known as a brain, to form your own ideas on what actually happened. the story, just like the gameplay, is a puzzle itself. All you are told is that you are a boy and you are searching for your sister. The rest is for you to figure out. There is plenty of hidden symbolism to look out for to help you form thoughts. I will post soon with my interpretation on the story and what I think it means.

I love the theme and style as well. Along with the lack of any music with excellent sound effects, it really sets a mood that makes you feel like you are alone in limbo.

The puzzles are unique and challenging, though nothing that will have you stuck for too long. It can take you anywhere from 3 to 5 hours based on your puzzle solving skill. I can recommend this game enough. 10/10

My Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review

I was slightly hyped for the release of Skyrim. Not as much as many others who were drooling with anticipation, but I was looking forward to playing it. Which is exactly what I did on 11/11/11. This review will be based off of the PC version of the game.

I'm somewhat familiar with the Elder Scrolls series. I've played through Daggerfall, I started Morrowind(never finished) and I played a little Oblivion. I enjoyed all of them to an extent and Daggerfall still is my favorite of the bunch (yes even over Skyrim). I did enjoy Skyrim though. I do however think it is very overrated. Here are my thoughts.

Playing this on the PC I had some trouble from the very start. First off the menus were clearly designed with consoles purely in mind. I was forced to downloads mods to fix them. They were poorly designed for PC. They were hard to use, disorganized and pretty useless. Mods fixed all that thankfully.

Right from the start you can tell the world of Skyrim is fairly massive. Not the biggest I've seen, not even for an RPG, but still a very reasonable size. So it's big, so what? It's whether or not the things in the world are actually interesting or not that's important. Well, it's alright. You got your mountains, your lightly treed forests, your snowy areas and....dungeons? I got bored with the world after about 40 hours. There was nothing that really surprised me (and trust me I looked EVERYWHERE). And although the graphics aren't really anything special, especially the ugly textures, horrid character models and horrendous animations. But the world somehow looks pretty nice, especially while looking over it from atop a mountain.

Now onto the story. Let me start by saying that the Elder Scrolls lore is actually pretty decent if you take the time to get into it. There are a lot of things that paint the picture of the setting. That being said, the general plot for Skyrim is meh. It's a story that could have been found in a 1980s D&D children's cartoon. I mean if you say the words 'Dragon Slayer' to someone who never heard of Skyrim, they can know the general plot of Skyrim from those two words. Even worse than the plot is the story delivery. For example: Within the first hour of the game, when you go to fight the first dragon (right outside of Whiterun), this is the first dragon anyone has every saw. Many people didn't even believe they ever existed, and people thought they were impossible to kill! So of course who do they send to kill a dragon? You and a few random city guards of course. Doesn't that sound like a suicide mission? Shouldn't they have assembled an epic team of the greatest heroes in Skyrim? Now that would have been cool. Another example is the Stormcloak war with Whiterun. Now the way they talk about this 'war' makes it sound huge. But when you actually go participate in the final battle, the taking of Whiterun, guess what? It's you and a few Stormcloak soldiers. Wow, what a war. Basically the delivery sucks.

Another thing that ruins the delivery and immersion is the dialogue. I could complain about the dialogue for hours. Show any decent author the dialogue and they will laugh at it. It's pathetic, it does things that amateur writers are taught not to. Not only is the dialogue writing bad, but the dialogue option are a step backwards from the Fallout dialogue options, providing much less choices. I can go on, but there are a few article you can find that go into finer detail. EDIT: Another thing I forgot to mention, the characters are boring, uninteresting and totally forgettable. Oh and boring quests.

On to the gameplay. The most important thing a game has to offer. In summary: it's bad. The melee combat was so bad I started a new character and became a mage. The magic system isn't very good either but it's less annoying than the melee. Both are boring though and have pretty much been the same since Morrowind. There are tons of bugs, some of them game-breaking. I once had a bugged main quest that i could not get around and I had to reload a 2 hour save. Very annoying to say the least. (SAVE OFTEN!)

One of the worst things about the game for me is the lack of enemy variety. Let's see there's Draugrs, Skeletons, Wraiths, Spriggan, Falmer, Wolves, Spiders, Giants, Dragons, Crabs, the Dwarven machines and a few others I'm forgetting. Overall there are less than 25 different enemies! That is terrible for such a big world and gets boring very quick. Not to mention non of them are particularly interesting to begin with. The dragons are fun the first few times but after that they just get boring and tedious.

Of course there are a few other things I didn't like that I didn't feel was worth mentioning. The game is good for awhile. It will suck you in for a decent amount of time and then you'll just stop playing. It was pretty fun while it lasted.

I'd give it a solid 7/10 based on my experience with it but I feel it more deserves a 6.5/10.

Duke Nukem Forever - My Thoughts

Duke Nukem has been in what people call, development hell, for the past 12-15 years. It has been canceled, delayed, and has switched developers many times. So when it was finally announced that Gearbox Software was developing it and that it would in fact actually come out, there was a question many people were asking: Would it live up to people's expectations? A solid question, I mean after 15 years it did tend to build up some hype.

Many major review sites, such as IGN, have been giving DNF below average scores. The main reason of this is because it did NOT live up to the 'hype'. Well I say, NO game can live up to 15 years of hype, its impossible. And why should that even matter? If Bioshock was announced 15 years before its release I'm sure people would have given it bad reviews, and would have dubbed it a 'let down' or 'not living up to the hype'. But Bioshock is in fact a great game. So judge the game on the actual game, not on how long it took to come out or the 'hype'.

In the time I have played DNF, I really have enjoyed myself. The game has great humor, many easter eggs, and pokes fun at a lot of other major games. Also, the game is fun. Isn't that the most important part? No, DNF isn't the most innovative or original game. It doesn't have the best graphics or physics and what not. BUT when you realize that non of that really matters as long as you have fun, DNF is an above average game. In DNF you kill aliens, blow up spaceships, ogle sexy chicks, and drink beer. Theres not much stress or frustration, although the harder difficulties will provide you with a great challenge.  But in my opinion the best way to play Duke Nukem is just for fun. You will never really get bored throughout the story, there is a lot of variety in the levels. One level you can be shooting a Gatling Gun at spaceships and the next driving a remote control car as mini-duke.

As for the multiplayer, well it goes well with the singleplayer. Its fun. Now they do happen to track your stats and what not, and also provide a good amount of unlocks and some character customization, but really if you stress yourself out about that stuff you won't have much fun. There are some pretty cool maps as well as game modes. It will provide a good amount of fun, especially if your playing with friends.

In conclusion, don't blindly listen to other reviews that bash the game, hell, don't even listen to me. Go and try it yourself, my opinion, you will probably have a lot of fun. My overall Fun Rating for DNF is a 9/10

Score a month after completion: 7/10
It's been a month since I completed DNF. While I still think the game doesn't deserve the hate it gets, I slightly lowered my score. Everything I said still holds true, its just the game started getting very repetitious towards the end and was a chore to play. I still enjoyed the game.
