Plaid. Hunt: Showdown. The Humming of the Lambs

When I first picked up Hunt: Showdown, I didn’t really understand it. Looking back, it was a very bizarre match when some random dude and I got stuck fighting an armoured mob. Our guns went loud and that, in turn, has attracted unwanted attention which resulted in the form of an enemy bullet going through my character’s head. Not impressed, I decided to stick around, since I actually had a friend to play with, and thanks to that decision you’re about to read the following review which consists mostly of praise for the game.

Plaid. We Happy Few. All we have are drugs.

Like We Happy Few this review took a while. And, as We Happy Few, this review will probable give out high hopes, but will leave you somewhat disappointed in the end. It`s not going to be outright terrible, yet you could feel that finer things that cannot be added in later are lost. So, strap in, take your Joy, and prepare for a quick rundown of my We Happy Few experience.

Plaid. Frostpunk. Night time stories by the fireplace.

Frostpunk has a very noble concept in its roots, humanity and everything. We`ve been told the game would want to talk difficult decisions of a society pushed to the extreme in its hope to survive. Instead this game is about the importance of mining coal before scripted events kick in.

Chuchel. The Looney Tunes game

 

Simple, short, pretty, cheery, CHERRIES!

Plaid. Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Make Reikland Great Again!

You might have heard about the reasonably successful Warhammer: Vermintide. If not, the premise stays the same: a proper fantasy Left 4 Dead, with ratmen and, now, chaos warriors of the North as your foes. It`s a solid piece that improves on the genre formula.

Plaid. Pit People. All about that Bling!

I`ve never had an acid trip, but had I had one this is how I would imagine it to go down: bright, colourful, full of bizarre encounters and even more bizarre messages to take home, that would all make perfect sense in the end. We`re talking a good trip, of course, the kind of one where a flying giraffe would tell you that you`re a good person no matter what. This, in short, is what Pit People is all about.

Plaid. Nantucket. Of dice and whales.

It`s a minimalistic strategy/role-playing game that has spontaneously emerged from the depths below, rich in valuable blubber that is the story, and can easily harpoon you into liking it. While not being exactly picturesque with most of encounters illustrated in text the game does manage to capture an atmosphere of a dreadful, yet adventurous business that whaling was in early 19^th century.

Plaid. PlayerUnknown`s Batllegrounds. The best chicken dinner in town according to some guy on Twitch.

Surely you`ve already heard of this game. With a large group of streamers on Twitch, with at least 30 million copies sold, with a recent record of 3 million concurrent players on Steam PUBG is one of the highlights of the previous year. Yet as buggy and un-optimised as it is the game surely earned its` record figures.

Plaid. Destiny 2. The Rainbow Cake Simulator

//Introducing Plaid - my attempt to review games! Feel free to comment and challenge my opinion. I`d like to start off with one of the most recent entries to the FPS world, Destiny 2.

Imagine a cake. Beautiful on the outside yet bland and tasteless on the inside. In short, that sums up my thoughts of Destiny 2. It doesn`t really try to push the limits both story and game mechanic-wise. It feels as if Bungie set out to make a game that wouldn`t fail at any cost and in doing so sacrificed any attempts to make it a classic. Anyway, let`s take a closer look.
