Recommended

Pcgamer: 7.9

Gamespot: 8.0

Metacritic: 8.1

Battlefield 5 game is based on world war II. Battlefield V is a First Person Shooter which is developed by EA DICE and published By Electronic Arts. It is the sixth installment of the Battlefield series. The game launched on 20 November 2018 on all platforms Pc windows, Xbox One, and Playstation IV.

Reborngamers Review :

Battlefield V focuses on World War II the game returns to the major conflict. In Battlefield V there are 4 campaign missions based on true events Under No Flag, Nordlys, Tirailleur, and The Last Tiger. The graphics of the game are so realistic which is awesome. The game’s textures and environments are so Eye Catching. The player can use vehicles, AAguns, Rocket launchers, Mortar field gun, fighter plane. There are so many Varieties in this game.

This game is designed to be the most impressive game in battlefield series. The Prolouge mission introduces the player to a different use of guns like machine guns etc and vehicles like tanks, a figher plane in the game. All the characters in the game speak their own native languages in the game with subtitles.In the campaign, there are many collectibles which are available in war stories. The story line ranges across many major battles during world warII. The Single Player Campaign is too short and the real focus is on the Multiplayer Version.

In Multiplayer, there are modes like Operation Conquest and more. A Maximum of 64 players can join a game in Multiplayer Mode. The Players are divided up into 16 squads with a focus on Teamwork. There are many maps in multiplayer. Battlefield V features dozens of historical weapons and gadgets from second world war II. Attachments will unlock when player get ribbons and rank while progressing multiplayer. New weather effect is included in the game . Multiplayer game can be played in different time zones.

In the Armory, you can buy guns and attachments with company coins (In-game Currency which will be awarded when you completed a Multiplayer Game). In this game, the chaos of the battlefield is so amazing. The destruction of the Structure and environment are quite breathtaking.

Moving on to the classes of the infrantry There is 4 class in the game Assault, Medic, Recon, and Support. All classes can construct thier own fortifications like Barbed wires, Trenches, Fox holes or Structural repairs. In Multiplayer games Players have limited ammunition and health regentration. So other players must resupplyed the player constantly. There are two factions in the game The allies and The Axis .Progress in Multiplayer will unlock Additional weapons, Vehicles and Customization items according to their facions .Customization in the game is vastly improved. Player can also customize Clothes, Weapons, and Vehicles in Multiplayer. Co-Op campaign is similar to Battlefield 3.

In 2019 battle royale mode will be added in the game. Battle with 64 players across giant maps will change when a match ends and will start a New game. Tanks, planes, and soldiers fight for control across classic game modes like Conquest etc. There are so many ways to approach the objectives and attacking the enemy. War stories made a return from Battlefield1.

Battlefield 5 series is back to its roots and you will never see a chaotic War field. The map covers a variety of climate and terrain in the game. The sound of this game is simply phenomenon. The explosion and bullet fire had me whiping my sights around in search of origin points. Sound effects really deserve the credit. Multiplayer mode are tough and grainy. It has enough content to keep you occupied with a decent progession system . The landscape is dense and the climate is releastic. Camera and shooting controls are good.The sound design on almost every level is award worthy.

The brand New Grand Operations game mode allows you to lead your company. In Battlefield V Players can build Fortifications, Repair broken down structures and install stationary weapons to improve your firepower. The Impressive aspects of the game are players will feel the force of an explosion or Gunshots.  Dragging downed allies to find safety shows the horrible aspects of the World War2.

Battlefield V allows you to customize your company which make every soldier unique. You can customize Weapons, Vehicles and Play Styles according to your squad. Battlefield V is a technically solid game, but it is a husk of shooter. The campaign may take 4 hrs to complete. Single player content is not long enough. The landscape design for the maps may be generic but you will quickly appreciate the stragetic elemets it offers.

The world war II era weaponry is exceptionally authentic. The reload animations are good which required some memorization. You can be caught fumbling With ammunition any time. All weapons and vehicles and character classes all have their own Progression system .When you are wounded you are not going to die straight away so its a good idea to have a medic around. All anti air units are extremely weak in comparison to bombers. Battlefield V has the best potential to be the base game in the series of Battlefield Series. It's sound and Visual are impressive. Battlefield V give us a surprise with a new team play system and more destruction, Specialization and Customization system for vehicles and weapons.

Battlefield V changes the way of historical First person shooter game are told but Battlefield V has been facing an uphill battle due to poor marketing campaign.Battlefield V is all about large scale multiplayer. Gunplay is fantastic, utterly beautiful maps , Phenomenal sound design its feels like battlefield is back. Expectations of the Battlefield fans have been fulfilled with this Installment.The Old Problems which was in other games of the series does exist in the game. More Issues regarding Bugs and Glitches can be easily found and Encountered.

Verdict:
Battlefield V is the another amazing addition in this admiraby franchise. But too short Campaign is the only low part. I am blown away that theres still so much to discover in the game. Battlefield V has succesfuly returned to World War II. You have to be a part of it.

Amazing Visuals

Exceptional Sound Effects

Exciting Gunplay

Multiplayer is Very good

The campaign is too short

Constant Bugs and Glitches

State of Decay2 Review:

State of decay 2 is a zombie survival Open world game Which was published by Microsoft Studios and developed by Undead Labs. let's have a look at what this Zombie version has to offer.

Reborngamers Review:

State of decay1  was fun, taking the survival part into consideration and making it as their primary formula was the big take on the first game. For new players who haven't played the first version,  this is a great place to start.

State of Decay2 Offers you to start in 1 of the 3 Rural Maps. The game also allows players to freely select their preferred characters which have been randomly generated.  You start with 3 characters to start a community to survive the post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies. As usual, you start with the home base and to survive you have to scout for various resources like Food, Materials, Ammo, and Fuel. Scavenging for these resources can be fun at the start but as you progress it becomes a tedious and boring stuff to do. The game might drag you into the boring stuff where you just can't stop scavenging for resources if you don't figure it out soon. Scavenging for Resources is a necessity in the start but you can switch your focus if you know how to obtain those resources.

Moving on to the characters, Character selection in the start is a welcome addition to the game. The Traits of the characters is a must look for the players. Don't ignore the traits as it could help you a lot in building your base. The character Progression for each character is Awesome and interesting.  The only negative element in character section is you cant rename your characters which could have been so exciting. Be very careful with your characters early game because if you lose a character its gone forever. There is NO Load option in the game which makes it absolutely thrilling when your character is surrounded by zombies. You will just Shout out aloud many times in the game “ Leave Me alone” when fighting the zombies.

Starting in your home base and scavenging for resources you will encounter many survivor activities. You will have the option to recruit those survivors into your community. It's a good thing to plan ahead in recruiting these survivors as they will have their own traits which will make a huge difference in building your base or even defending it from zombies. If you just don't need a particular character you have the option to exile them.  Undead Labs have tried something good with these traits but it feels they haven't completely achieved the goal.

The characters in the game are very important when they gain experience. There are no Official stats displayed but you will know when it happens. The characters will level up to be Heroes and the player will have the option to select a Leader of the community as the whole game revolves around this stat. The Leader can be classified to be a Trader, Warlord, Builder or a Sheriff. I have tried the various Leader roles by becoming a Warlord and then Exiling him will enable you to choose another Character of becoming a Trader or a Sheriff based upon their traits. So there's a possibility in experiencing various end-game scenarios as these Leaders have different goals to achieve as their end game.

Scavenging for a resource and bringing back to your base or killing a zombie will earn Influence. The cash used in the game. Influence can be gained by helping a survivor or helping a Friendly enclave. They can be used to trade with Enclaves or taking control of a new base. Influence is Precious in early game so use it wisely.

Zombies are everywhere in this game. You cant be left alone for 30 seconds, you must hit the escape button to pause the game so you don't get dragged out from your car by a Plague Zombie. The Plague zombies are the upgraded versions of the normal ones. They will infect you if you get constantly attacked by them. To cure your infected you have a administer a cure in your Infirmary. So watch out for these Red Zombies.  Occasional zombies like the Juggernaut which are harder to kill and the feral zombie which are hard to hit is fun. The normal Zombies will absolutely kill you if you let them surround you. Walking into an Infested House or trying to destroy a Plague Heart is where the real action lies and it is not a good idea. Just hit the Horn button to lure them out, so you can ride them over with your car. Sometimes I felt it too easy to clear out these Infestations, but when you want the real action you can walk in and try killing them which is so exciting. 

Please keep in mind that your Maxed Out character is not powerful to destroy all the zombies when engaged in Melee. The stamina meter will fall down rapidly after ditching out 6 or 8 Melee attacks and if surrounded by Zombies the Health bar rapidly reduces. You have to run away to use an Item to restore your health or stamina. So keep a Close eye on your stamina Meter because if you don't have the stamina to run you can be in serious trouble.  The ranged attacks tend to lure more enemies in your direction. In this game, if you make a Sound you are at risk of getting attacked by more zombies. The guns in this game are loud, and there is variety in firepower. But it should be used as a Last Resort. Melee and ranged weapons are not immune as they get damaged or broken. But the melee and Ranged fights tend to be Simple and nothing more. Humans of other Enclaves or a Wandering Survivor can turn against you, you will occasionally encounter Humans who will be hostile against you.

Base building was good in State of Decay2. Various options to explore and it's all exciting.  But figuring out the Best base which will suit you can take a lot of time. Investing time and effort to scout out these Potential bases can be exciting but also can be a little irritating as these bases have their own unique construction buildings. The traits of the Leader will also have a great influence in base building. For an Ex: Warlord Leader enables you to build an Armory, where a Trader Leader will allow you to build a Trade Post. So the Dilemma in figuring out which Leader, base and base buildings is huge which is actually pretty exciting. Players can learn about these roles and build their base accordingly or Exile the leader move to a Different Base and select a new Leader.

Base Building enables you to obtain the resources. Build a farm for food or an armory.to craft Weapons and repair them. There are many options on how you want your base to function. It's well worth it to take time to learn all information about Resources or buildings. To build these buildings takes a lot of time so plan it accordingly. While building your base always keep a watch in the noise meter. If it Fills up then you are in danger of a Zombie siege which can be difficult to handle. There is also a meter for the Morale of the base if its too low some characters will threaten to leave the community. So make sure you meet their demands. Outposts can be set up in addition to these bases which will yield you free supplies for each day.

There are 3 Potential maps. Choose a map and set up a Base. If you don't like the map, you have the option to move to another map with all your resources except the cars you have. So try all 3 maps. In order to attempt a Relocation, you must have a Level 3 Command Center in your base. Maps tend to be easier or harder to travel. In meager Valley, you have straight roads and it is much easier to move. So select the map which best suits you. Driving around in a car and exploring is so much fun, but always keep an Eye on the fuel bar. If you don't have fuel in the car you have to abandon the car and walk to your base which can be irritating. Always have an Extra can of fuel stored in the car. You can also store resources which you scavenge in the car.

The attractive feature about this game is the Radio call action. You can call in to find the location of the resources or get a Heavily Upgraded car if you have the Influence to spend on it.

Apart from Surviving, Scavenging and killing zombies there is not much to the game. After you put in all the hours of figuring out the game and exploring there is no real Objective. You can find the Occational Bug here and there. The Bugs issue also Persists in Multiplayer. When it comes to playing with friends in Multiplayer it is so much fun. You can team up with your friends to play in a Co-op to get a new experience with the game. With all said and done, the main Problem with this game is Repetition. Constantly looking for resources and looking after your communities needs can be a little frustrating. NPC following you will suddenly vanish and then will rejoin you when it thinks its time. Waiting for your NPC to get in the car while the zombies around just makes you yell at the NPC. Apart from what we have discussed till now, there is not much.

Verdict:

A Zombie Infested game which is suitable only for Scavenge, Fight and Survive. This game needs a lot of Polishing.

Survival and  Constant Fear of Zombies

Exploring

Satisfactory Combat

Character Progression

Repetitive Gameplay

Bugs

Irritating Npc's

Review By Guru Sane

Ni No Kuni 2Review 

Ni No Kuni 2 Revenant Kingdom is an action role-playing game published by Bandal Namco Entertainment and Developed by Level 5. This is a sequel to the first game. Let's have a look.

Reborngamers Review:

Ni no Kuni 2 is a beautiful RPG game with amazing animated visuals. In this era of gaming where graphics are considered one of the strongest points in reviewing a game, Ni no Kuni 2 pars it all with its gorgeous eye-catching beautiful world. This game re-establishes thinking of those people who think animated games less interesting than games with graphics close to reality.

Being an RPG game, this game has great content to play. It takes around 35 to 40 hours to complete the main storyline of the game, but it may take more than 60 hours for those who are willing to explore more of the world.

When the game was initially released, it has received reviews of being too damn easy. There were NO settings to adjust difficulty. And yes, it is too easy at some places like in the open world map. But it is also super hard at some other places if the player is willing to search for them. Like for example “Tainted monsters” are one of them.

After the release of patch 1.03, the game now provides difficulty settings – Normal, Hard & Expert. I have to say after the patch, the game now becomes more balanced compared to initial release. My suggestion to any player would be to play the game in “Hard mode”.

There are still difficulty abnormalities are there with the game. In some places, it is too easy and it is too hard in other. Some enemies take more damage easily and other take less damage even if you are close to the enemy level. This is the only technical flaw with the game. Otherwise, the game is fantastic.

There are many RPG elements to the game. You may obtain good damage causing weapons, wear improved armor and accessories to defend and do magic-based attacks. Also one may build kingdom and level the kingdom to further investigate on the innumerable number of RPG elements the game provides. It is really fun to explore all these RPG elements in the game, but the imbalance in the difficulty causes players to not explore much of these attributes and simply hack/slash to move ahead with the story. This causes less farming & grinding which again leads to player completing the game easily without exploring much of the game.

But the game is super vast in content and one should definitely explore as much as possible.

To properly utilize the RPG elements of the game, my suggestion is to play the entire game in “Hard mode”, but also keep switching your difficulty level when and where required. If you feel it too easy, switch it to expert and if you feel too hard, then switch it to normal mode.

This way, you get to make the game balanced in difficulty and you will get interested to explore the world and learn & utilize the RPG elements of the game properly.

Story:

Well, I should be honest in saying that this game is no masterpiece in the story department. It is a very simple story. Evan is the little guy whose father is a king and just died. Evan gets betrayed. He escapes his kingdom and builds a new kingdom.

From this part of the game, logic is less applied. Sometimes it feels more childish than ever. But this is a game and sometimes games are supposed to have silly childish logic. It’s just that this game is more of silly & childish. It is not bad but is just silly.

Graphics and Sound/Music:

As I have already told in the first couple of lines of this review, the animations of the game look very eye candy. It is really colorful to look at. But when the characters move to the world map, the animations are totally minimized to kind of small blocks. This, however, is not that bad, but not that great compared to normal animations. This might have been done to avoid big loading times and players will be able to easily walk through the world map.

The music of the game is also amazing. There are different kingdoms in the game. While the player goes through each kingdom, different music is being played and it is very refreshing. You never get bored with the music. Like many players, I myself liked the music played during my stay in Goldpaw kingdom.

 Acting:

This is the place where most gamers get mad. Because the game has very less acting, I mean very less voice acting. Almost 80% of the game with cutscenes is nothing but subtitles. Players have to carefully read the subtitles to understand the story. Only at very important cutscenes, voice acting is implemented.

In this era of gaming, where cutscenes are the most efficient way of immersion in the game, players being forced to read subtitles is disappointing.

And the most I hated about the acting part is, the characters only say very few words like “Oh”, “Thank you”, “Excuse me” etc. And the poses each character puts to say a dialogue is very awkward.

One time I gave a rose to a woman (coral huelboom). She thanked me with her standing in a posture of going to war (One leg front, one leg back and an arm raised till elbow in air).

The game lacks in both visual acting and voice acting areas.

Gameplay:

This is the part where the game really shines. Its gameplay is amazing with all of its RPG elements. Player has to continuously check the inventory for improved weapons and armor and equip them occasionally.

All the party members need to be managed by the player. Players are allowed to swap the active party members to take part in a fight. All the party members get leveled up with each combat we go through.

We have higgleheides in the game, which really play a very important role. Players tend to forget using them and simply hack/slash the game. But if we properly use the higgleheides, it really helps a lot in taking down high-level enemies.

We also have “Tactic tweaker” in game, which enables the player to invest their battle points properly in increasing attack power or defense power. One can also adjust tweaker to have more rewards or more XP gained and so on.

The game offers players to build their own kingdom. This is a mandatory thing & not optional. One needs to invest their time in building their kingdom, building facilities in them and doing research in each facility to have more advantages. For instance, a player can build Weapons facility to make advanced weapons. We can also improve the weapons we currently have in the weapons facility.  We can build Magic facility and do research in it, so as to make our current magical abilities stronger.

Kingdom building seems a bit tedious but if we get into it, it feels like a mini-game in itself. I have rather enjoyed myself building my own kingdom.

One more thing that requires player’s time is doing skirmish battles. Since we have our own kingdom, we also have our own army. We need to invade other areas and defeat other armies. While this is fun to have our army do battles/wars with other armies, it is a bit tedious and gets boring very fast. The more we do skirmish battles, the more the level of the army unit increases. Since the game requires our kingdom army to be at a certain level to finish the game, the skirmish battles cannot be entirely skipped.

Combat:

This game takes a different path from its first installment. While the first Ni no Kuni had a turn-based combat system, this game, however, features an active combat system, which is great in my opinion.All boss battles are very gorgeously flashy & never get boring. It feels great to see the visuals of our special attacks and magical attacks.

We get play hack/slash while using strategy. We need to prepare for a battle, have our potions ready in hand and equip the most recent weapons and armors for each boss battle.

The game also provides “Tainted monsters”, a very rare kind with a purple ring around them. They won’t attack the player until we reach this ring and accept the quest. But the levels shown for these tainted monsters are to be taken seriously. These monsters are incredibly strong and cause great damage to the player while they themselves take very less damage. But these are best for grinding and leveling up. Once defeated, these monsters provide good rewards, which are very useful.

Side quests:

This game has many side quests which are NOT entirely optional. There are a total of three kinds of side quests.

One is where you do something for a character in another kingdom and he agrees to become a citizen of your kingdom. Recruiting citizens is key to building and leveling up our own kingdom. And to finish the game, we need to level up the kingdom. So these side quests are not entirely optional and you will have to recruit a couple citizens for your own kingdom.

The rest of the two kinds of side quests are either fetch something for a particular NPC or help an NPC by defeating a monster. So it can be said that the side quests are some of the basic fetch quests with a very minimum story. If there is any story to them, players will tend to skip it due to laziness in reading subtitles.

Replay Value:

While this game is vast in content & there is so much to cover in the game, the game definitely has replay value from the gameplay point of view. So if you are a player, who likes the combat & mechanics, grinding & farming, kingdom building & skirmish battles etc., but gives very less importance to the story, then this game is definitely recommended for replay as there is so much to explore and discover.

But the story & acting are so much less inspiring causing any of the casual players to play it as much as possible for the first, but not again.

Verdict:

This game has its own flaws with story & acting but is brilliant in its RPG section and fantastic in its gameplay. Though the side quests are basic fetch quests, recruiting citizens can be quite fascinating. Boss battles are very satisfying to fight, with each boss attacking in a different attack pattern. There is so much to explore in the kingdom while building & leveling it up.

This is a onetime must play for any RPG seeker, who wishes to play with all the deep mechanics of the game with amazing animated visuals and great music.

Beautiful animated graphics

Soothing music

Amazing gameplay

So much to explore in the world

Story is average

Very less acting& less inspiring

Ninja Midori Review 

Ninja Midori is an 8-bit platformer game developed and Published by Bajo Games.

Ninja Midori is an 8-bit platformer game. These kind of games are very rare in this era of games but are a hope for those gamers who like to play challenging games. There is nothing great to expect graphics wise with an 8-bit platformer, but we can expect a good amount of fun in its gameplay. The gameplay mostly involves jumping and escaping the enemies in your path whilst using ninja star blades to clear out enemies wherever needed.

The game starts with introducing you to the context of the game that Akuma the Evil Devil has stolen Princess Sera & the princess has one hope & it’s you Ninja Midori. This simple motivation to save the princess is fair enough for any gamer to keep playing this game until the end. Many great games have been made with just this small & simple concept like ICO, Shadow of Colossus etc. For these kinds of games, it’s gameplay where it shines rather than the story.

I am a gamer who likes to play sitting on my couch with a controller rather than a mouse & keyboard. When I started the game, I did not expect this game to have a controller support but I was amazed by the developers when I found out it had controller support for an 8-bit platformer. The game has mapping information to both PS4 & XBOX controllers.

I have to say that this game is not as easy as it looks. It’s a bit challenging. You only have 3 lives and 10 ninja ammo with each level. Gamers who seek a challenge can definitely find this game amusing and joyful.

I find it very interesting that this game is not just run & escape kind. It can be played with timed strategy. You can time your jumps and attack patterns. There are different kind of enemies and each type move at different speeds. So you have to time your jumps and sprint as per the speeds of different type of enemies. You can also shoot the enemies while jumping. All the levels can be replayed even after finishing them.

Personally, it would have been more fun to me, if it had bonuses in the middle of the level. Bonuses like more ammo in the middle of the level or getting an extra life like in the Mario game.

Average gamers similar to me like to fight with the standard difficulty setting. If they are not able to proceed further due to difficulty, then they tend to decrease the difficulty level to continue further, rather than quitting the game. It is rather not a trend in such type of games to put a difficulty setting, but it would be interesting to put one. I would have found it more amusing if the number of enemies can be decreased or increased based on difficulty setting.

If this game is ported to Android or iPhone, gamers would have a blast playing this one. It would be more interesting to introduce a reward system in place, like collecting gems with each level, as the reward system improves the replay value by motivating gamers to collect something. It would be a nice to have a feature to buy ammo with the collected reward points.

Verdict:

An Interesting 8-bit Platformer game which is fun and challenging.

Fun to play

Simple & Challenging game

Play with strategy

Controller support

Levels can be replayed at any time

No reward system

No spare life or extra ammo

God Of War Review :

God Of War 2018 is an action-adventure game published by Sony Interactive Entertainment and developed by Santa Monica Studios.

Reborngamers Review :

God of war is a game that leaves you with an awesome and mind-blowing experience by the time you finish it. This is a game emotionally driven that gradually builds a strong relationship between father & son. Many seem to compare this with "The Last of Us" & I should say they are not wrong in a positive way, as this game will deliver that same strong emotional journey in an absolutely amazing God of war way.

I have played all the GOW games and I had my doubts when I started this game because the fighting system with an axe seemed new and the skill progression system like RPG games was a new thing to GOW series. I imagined to be difficult to play all the game with an axe, but boy I liked the axe so much, that I ended up using it most of the time ignoring other weapons.

As I am a fan of the series, I was determined to play it, no matter the consequences of me liking it or not. The previous GOW titles were fairly 10 to 12 hours long and felt awesome even with such short length. But this game was made, keeping in mind the new trend in the gaming industry for lengthy games and designed with various RPG elements to improve skills, weapons, armor, bestiary etc. After almost more than 30 hours into the game, I still have the feeling to play more & want more.

GOW was the first game on my PS2. GOW3 was the first game on my PS3. This is a game known to many non-gamers as well. Whenever I share my experience of my gaming with noobs& non-gamers, the first question I get from them is "Did you play God of war?"

Let's analyze the game with more depth. Starting with the Story of the game.

Santa Monica Studio always had a great immersive way of storytelling. This title does not disappoint you in any way in terms of storytelling. With no spoilers, it's a story about taking the ashes of a wife/mother to a place she wished before her death. The journey that this father & son take from here brings you an incredible experience. Throughout your path, you meet different people, learn different things and learn more about Norse mythology.

By the time you are done with the game, you will understand how a Spartan/Kratos from Greek mythology fits into this Norse mythology. There are some parts & pieces left out without proper explanation, like how is Kratos alive after GOW 3. But these kinds of things are left to our imagination, and boy, people may come up with their own theories and you can google about the same. Be careful not to get into spoilers of the story while googling J

Next, we will speak about the combat system. The combat is a bit different in this one compared to previous GOW titles. The previous GOW titles featured a pure hack & slash combat mechanics and the upgrade was only possible with the collection of red orbs. But this new game features many new aspects to craft, upgrade, replace etc. When we visit a workshop, we can craft the weapons or armor we wish, provided we have enough money or resources required to craft that item. We can upgrade the strength, damage & stun capabilities of the weapons we have. Like magical capabilities in previous GOW titles, this one has "Heavy runic attack", "Light runic attack" & "Talisman".

Throughout the game, we are provided with different kind of these magical attacks, which can always be replaced with newer and powerful versions as we go more deeply into the game. Again each magical attack can be enhanced with enhancements that are spanned out all over the game. Enhancements can also be crafted at the workshop.To summarize, the combat mechanics & design have been vastly improved. My Kratos will be different from the Kratos you play, due to the difference in configuration of runic attacks, talisman etc

Santa Monica studio has a devoted commitment to always deliver the best visual themes in GOW series. Graphics in this game are awesome. The textures are very clear the detail put in each area is subpar. For any fast combat paced game, fps is very important. If there is any lag in fps, the combat feels sluggish and we lose the immersion. Even though this game runs at 30 fps, it is strictly locked to that fps, without us feeling the fps lag during combat.

The music & voice acting are amazing. I constantly find myself repeating the phrase in Kratos voice - "Boy, what are you doing". The music during combat is very good and you feel it very right as per the situation.

After playing Witcher 2 & 3, Final Fantasy 15 etc, I have got more accustomed to playing and liking RPG games. I like the progression system in RPG games and the more time we spend on learning & developing the character, the more better the game plays. This game adopts the RPG elements allowing us to level up Kratos and enhance our weapons & armor. So the Kratos from different gamers feels different and plays differently.

There are many side quests offered in this game. The more you explore these quests, the more items you find to enhance Kratos. A couple of the areas are visible but locked. Such areas are accessible after you complete some amount of the main story. Also, new areas seem to open up as the main story passes. We can take our time to explore as much as we can and upgrade Kratos with the rewards found from these optional quests.

The game also offers endgame content. You are free to roam after the main story is complete to explore further, which I have yet to do. Valkyries – a unique kind of enemies are end game content. When I first had a chance to fight Valkyrie, I did not realize how powerful these are. I tried to fight for more than 30 minutes and then realized that these are not meant to beat mid game.

The game absolutely has very good replay value. The narrative is amazingly told and story alone makes it worth playing again. Since this game has RPG elements, it is nice to see how we can upgrade our Kratos in our next play through and beat the game with different options. It is also nice to explore everything before completing the game, instead of exploring as end game content, since gamers tend to lose interest in end game content, no matter how amazing the game is.

I have heard that there is going to be a patch released sooner with "New game +" option. If this is a confirmed news, then "New game +" will be a blast to play.

Verdict :

What are you waiting for? This is one of those absolutely must play games which is worth every penny you spend on the game. This is one of those games, which you keep in your games collection as a classic one. Hell, this game should be the reason for any gamer to buy a PS4.

Quest of Vidhuraa Review

Reborngamers Ratings: 6.5

Recommended

Quest of Vidhuraa is a run and escape Indie game Published and Developed by First Seed. It is said to be a very hard platformer game by the devs.

Reborngamers Review :

Quest of Vidhuraa starts when Vidhuraa’s grandfather tells him that he was separated from his parents in his early age. King Kaala has taken them prisoner in his castle, and Vidhuraa sets on the quest to rescue his parents. As said by the Devs themselves the game is punishing and Brutal. There are three handcrafted arenas called Forest, City and Castle. The castle level will be updated shortly.

Run and Jump are the two main actions featured in the whole game. The arrow Keys which is used for moving Vidhuraa and the up or Spacebar key to jump the obstacles. We recommend using the Up arrow for jumping rather than the spacebar for timing the jumps. Now don’t think that its easy to do these two actions. Starting levels of the game are normal. But when you advance more into the game it becomes much harder. Perfection and timing is the key for you to overcome these insane obstacles. I mean the Devs have made an open challenge to the player “ Try and Beat our game”.

Tapping the jump key twice enables the player to perform a chain jump. This feature was really hard to master but has a good impact on the game. Each and every obstacle which is placed must be timed to perfection if you have any chance of advancing the game. This is where the game truly shines. Many games try pleasing their gamers in different ways. But quest of Vidhuraa challenges its players to be the perfectionist.” Time it perfectly or Keep on dying. Well, Dying is the most common part you will do in this game. We felt it a little too hard on the players. Repetitive gameplay may lead to frustrations after many failures.

While the Idea of the challenge is great, pushing the players beyond their limits maybe unfair. The Devs have put in good work in constructing these obstacles. The variety of these obstacles is awesome. The spinning blades and shooting mechanisms are the real threat in the game. The disappearing blocks when you land are a real pain in the game. The level Design of the game was very good. Some levels are designed too hard, they had a checkpoint implemented within the game. Beleive us the checkpoint was a great relief to us. The art style of the game is pleasant, where the audio of the game is satisfactory. The character movement has a good flow to the game. We felt that the Devs would have done a much better job in character creation. All together the game has 60 cruel levels to finish the game. 40 levels are available now, and the remaining 20 Levels will be updated shortly.

Verdict:

Overall the game is good. Pushing their players to the limits is an amazing aspect First Seed has mastered. The Quest of Vithuraa is not against the Villian King kaala but against the game itself. This game is brutally Tough to beat. Good and creative aspects can be expected from this Indie Developer.

Farcry 5 Review

Reborngamers Ratings: 8.8

Highly Recommended

Metacritic: 8.1

Gamespot: 9.0

IGN: 8.9

Farcry 5 is an Open world action-adventure first-person shooter game published by Ubisoft and developed by Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Toronto. We have been fans of the beloved game series from Ubisoft from the start. So let’s have a look at what farcry5 has to offer.

Reborngamers Review :

The story of this game takes place in fictional Hope County, Montana, USA. The game starts as the player a Deputy Sheriff of the government on your way with other authorities to Issue a warrant of arrest of the cult Leader Joseph Seed AKA “The Father”. Joseph Reed is the villain who runs a religious doomsday Cult called Eden’s gate, and their followers are named “ Peggies”. You fail miserably and your friends are caught by the enemy and their whereabouts unknown. Now the player has to join the resistance and try to liberate Hope county from the fanatics.

Hope County, Montana is big, it's beautiful and most importantly its fun. The formula used by Ubisoft in FarCry games are in this game too but with satisfying modifications. They are trying to move the franchise from the old formula. The capturing of territories or liberating bases are there in this game, but the climbing of towers have been removed which is good for the game. The player will discover missions and activities when you happen to cross over them, or when meeting a character which will send you in the right direction. The game is much more engaging in this way rather the tiresome tower climbing. It feels much more organic.

The Basics: Rescue and Recruit people for your cause, Liberate outposts, Do main missions and side missions.It's all present in this game, but the interesting thing about the game is how they have cleverly implemented the formula into the game. It is much more engaging when you're constantly thrown back into the action without you having time to take a deep breath. The mission design is excellent in this game. You liberate an outpost, and now you see a Cult convoy passing through, you chase them and kill them, you can see a  cult silo nearby. There is so much to do in this game.

Let's get into the World Map. As previously said its big, but denser than previous games. The regions of the map are controlled by the Joseph seed’s 3 siblings Faith, John, and Jacob Seed. It’s a good addition to the game where the players have to face these three Herald Bosses. The interesting and engaging thing for the player is total freedom to do whatever they want. There is no forced path for the player that the game dictates, you can hit an outpost on John’s region and immediately go to faith’s region to rescue a hostage.This system makes the players independent and enjoys the game to its maximum.

The map has a lot to offer to the player, its nearly 40 missions, 7 outposts and cult properties to destroy.By doing main missions and side activities the player gains resistance points for the regions, Once you have reached the threshold you get access to kill the herald bosses which takes you one step closer to Joseph seed“The Father”.You can also recruit specialists from the regions once you have completed specific tasks.

Speaking of recruitment, Farcry 5 has the most interesting aspects about companions. You can recruit civilians into your resistance these recruits can level up and learn new abilities. The more powerful recruits are the specialists from the regions. Animal Companions like Boomer and Peaches are exciting, Boomer can sniff out enemies and attack them whereas peaches a Cougar is more stealth attacker. Most importantly they can revive you when you are down, So if you see a downed ally go revive them immediately to give yourself more assistance.We absolutely loved the way Ubisoft has implemented this ally system into the game.

Combat is more satisfying in this installment, A good amount of variety in weapons, with Limited Ammo and Med Kits and unpredictable enemies, makes Farcry 5 much more intense and thrilling. Vehicle collection is also an interesting fact in farcry5. It's really impressive with all the vehicles the game has to offer for the player to traverse the beautiful open world. The side activities like fishing, hunting, crafting are immense fun and have been perfected. Stealth is a good way to approach outposts and bases, taking down 3 to 4 enemies and beginning the assault is more fun than running in guns blazing.

As usual, Good things are done and let's move to the bad ones. The depth of the story lacks highly in farcry5. When a game revolves around religious beliefs there is a delicate balance to withhold. The game does a decent job in it but sometimes felt a little disturbing with the crucifixions you can see in your travels. Considering the fact the Cult is dedicated fanatics whose beliefs oppose drugs, you can see the majority of the enemies charging towards you in the influence of a drug called “Bliss”. There is absolutely no need for the drug to be implemented into the game. The game’s AI enemies lack in variety. There is no real history of the character the players play. All throughout the game you are called Rookie or Deputy, Is it hard to name a playable character Ubisoft? Character Creation for a character who doesn’t have a name “Funny”. The weak story and bland characters are the real enemies of Farcry5.

Verdict:

 A Refreshing game from the farcry franchise. The amazing individual features clustered into one Awesome game. With all its amazing aspects it still needs a little push to make it the best in the series. A game which is really fun and an excellent Farcry.
