If you are a fan of the Resident Evil games set in a unnerving and creepy mansion, this game will be worth your time. "Despair: Blood Curse" is a short action-horror survival game that can be completed in under two hours. I found the game's story, setting, characters, and game play to be engaging and immersive. The battles against the human and monster enemies are intense and fun. The final big Boss fight is truly epic and legendary. The firearms in this game are effective during combat. The melee weapons were not really effective as it did not do much damage to the enemies' health. Stick with the firearms, and shoot for the reliable instant kill headshots. The puzzles in this game are easy to solve, and does not require much brain power usage or having a handy walkthrough guide nearby. The game's graphics, environments, and character designs (especially the protagonist Anna), are very detailed and top-notch for a AA game. I highly recommend this short length action-horror survival game. The captivating story, setting, environments, characters, and graphics make "Despair: Blood Curse" a very enjoyable and entertaining game.
Steelrising is a fun, challenging, and entertaining "Souls-like" RPG game. I really like the engaging story as it takes place in a alternative universe during the French Revolution. The King has an army of unstoppable automatons that has caused a path of destruction. The only one who can stop this madness is the Queen's bodyguard, Aegis. Aegis is an automaton too. She is the only hope there is to stopping the King's unstoppable army. There are a great variety of offensive and defensive weapons that Aegis can use to slay any automatons that get in her way. You can upgrade and change up the weapons anytime during the game. In additon, there are RPG upgrades too that will make Aeigs even more powerful throughout her journey of achieving her goals. I love the "Assist Mode" option in this game. I have played one "Dark Souls" games and this feature is a big welcome. I can adjust the difficulty level anytime in the game to suit my playing skills. This will eliminate the frustrations of fighting minions in the same area and Big Bosses too over and over again. The only negative to this game is the performance optimization issues. Other than that, the characters and world designs are detailed and top-notch. I highly recommend this game. It is a challenging "Souls-like" game where you can adjust the difficulty levels anytime and this will eliminate frustration and possible PTSD. The story, setting, characters, and the detailed world make this game very engaging. I really hope a sequel will be made.
