Almost everyone I’ve encountered so far has just wanted to fight whether they’re well-armed or not… Unfortunately, that seems to be all but gone. The fact that you could go on adventures with strangers and didn’t know what awaited you. What I used to love about survival games was that randomness. You see survival games have kind of devolved over the years to simply be online shooters to people. It was a slight baptism of fire, but I made it out alive and most importantly, with their loot.Ĭut to a few minutes later and I was dead. Luckily I had just picked up a pistol and was able to take them on. My first life saw me encounter a group within about 3 minutes of playing. Are armed with fairly decent weapons and will shoot you on sight. They roam around the more built-up areas in small groups. There are however enemy AI similar to Scavs in Escape from Tarkov. The main difference to many other games within the genre is that there are no zombies. When a new survival game comes along people usually want to know what’s different and why they should try it out. Just like many other survival games out there Deadside is open world and simply asks you to survive. Over the weekend I took the plunge and jumped into the first couple of hours of surviving in a new world. But the recent release of Deadside and it’s decent praise caught my eye. It’s been some time since I last played a survival game. But in my mind, this sequel is just as good as the first. Sometimes it can be difficult to follow up an exceptional game with another. However, it’s been so fun playing through Ori that without even realising it I’ve actually collected and completed side tasks with ease. Getting 100% in games is never an objective of mine as most of the time I’d just rather get the story done with the odd side bits here and there. To me, that is a testament to how good the game is. Having said that, I’ve been getting close to completely clearing a few areas without even trying. I’m not going to be going for 100% completion in the game, as that’ just not my thing. If your game can get the attention of my wife – however fleeting it might be, then you’re doing something right! I’ve even had my wife walking past me playing every now and then saying that it looks like a nice game. The environment and the different biomes are beautiful and fun to explore. The gameplay is fantastic, fast, smooth, and enjoyable. I’m 99% sure that I only have one boss left to fight which means I’ve nearly finished another game! This lock down thing is really doing wonders for my backlog.Īs of right now, I’ve played around 14 hours of Ori and it’s been a joyful experience throughout. Seeing as I’ve been on a roll with completing games recently I thought I’d make some more progress in Ori.
