Enderal is one of my favorite games of all time. It essentially works and twists Skyrims base code into a game that's is much more satisfying for someone more interested in earlier titles like Morrowind. It's impressive how much some of those small changes can make what is functionally just Skyrim feel so different and so much more interesting, such as removing enemy scaling. I won't spoil anything, but the main quest is easily in my top 3 RPG quest lines ever and honestly probably top 2 with New Vegas.
To open, the 1.1.1 update is now out. A good few earlier reviews you may have seen had very legitimate complaints about some balancing issues and bugs in the launch version. Nothing gamebreaking, but in the way enough to note. Now that the update is here the game flows much smoother. Bear and Breakfast is a quest-driven hotel management game with a cozy cartoon aesthetic. The game is actually fairly linear in it's execution as the questlines push you forward to each new area of the map and unlock new features. Each new area offers different aesthetics, designs, and difficulties. That isn't to say there's a lack of open expression though. You can decorate however you want. If you want to be utilitarian about it and just use the highest value items in unrealistic locations to min-max then go ahead. If you'd rather decorate around aesthetics and keep things sensible then you absolutely can. The game prioritizes decoration and room upgrades, so make sure you're someone who takes pleasure in decoration as its own objective (though you get plenty of direct benefits). The character writing is very endearing and makes you look forward to each time you return to someone later in the story. The art is very pretty and the music is also pretty solid.
Has delivered on every promise and then some
Project Zomboid is a hyper realistic zombie survival game. THE hyper realistic zombie survival game. It is very detailed, from picking shrapnel out of your own arm, to replacing your bandages, to being cold or hot depending on your clothing, to realistic sightlines. Zomboid has been in development for a LONG time and unlike many other long standing early access games has grown massively over time. Growing from a small simple tutorial story into a very detailed expansive game. While at one point it was essentially killed by piracy it has managed to bounce back in a major way. I can't wait to see how much further it grows
Not much can be said about the original Grim Fandango that hasn't already been said, That being said i'll mostly be talking about noticeable changes in the remaster. For starters, the Remastered Version got a rather large lighting overhaul which definitely helps create atmosphere in some parts, though at points can be slightly excessive. They also improved the character models a far bit, nothing much, simply smoothed them out a bit and increased some resolutions but its noticeable enough to warrant a mention. The most major improvement to the game is the new control system that replaces the awkward tank controls, though if you really want to there is an achievement for playing the whole game with tank controls. The new point and click control system makes the game much easier to understand and fun to play than before as this was one of the main gripes with the original. Throughout my whole playthough of the game i only encountered one glitch was only graphical (Basically the bread from the parade appeared in the form it appears when its done and thus gone as appose to its normal model) and it was easy to figure out what was happening and deal with it. Overall this is a very good remake of Grim Fandango.
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is an excellent game in almost every way, the gameplay holds up well, the humor holds up well, even the graphics hold up well. But you see my review isn't necessarily about the game, its about the fact that GOG only has it for Windows. Typically i'm just fine with them forgetting about other OS's , but this game is a classic that needs to be available on all platforms, not just Windows.
