2025年10月22日 评论 Returning to Jedi Academy always feels like coming home - [gets ambushed by four cultists on a narrow cliff] You will die. [one by one, calmly grabs each cultist by their throat and throws them off the cliff] The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Between JA, KotOR and Battlefront, the three games embody the ultimate Star Wars experience. If KotOR is story and exploration, and Battlefront is large-scale war, Jedi Academy is perhaps the most intimate as its focus is on conveying the tactility of being a Jedi. From the get-go I feel the freedom of movement and action that other games in the franchise just don't rival. Where Outcast kind of stumbled at first, Academy throws you into a linear and colorful level and lets you practice some basic attacks, finishing off with the first lightsaber duel. This is how you start a game. Lightsaber combat here reaches its peak with dual and double-bladed lightsaber options, as well as new acrobatics, multiplying the amount of strategies the player can employ. You will find yourself jumping around, doing rolls and somersaults, jumping off of walls and performing graceful finishing moves. There is a community mod/source-port called Jedi Academy Enhanced. I highly recommend playing with it. On top of minor visual improvements, new weapons and customization options, you get new force powers and the ability to increase the level of dismemberment, which in turn makes the lightsabers even deadlier to a touch. With that setting, a single hit will kill anybody (including you), making the lightsaber combat as realistic as it can possibly get. It becomes all about breaking through defenses and landing a hit while preventing the enemy from doing the same. Sometimes you might get lucky and kill them with the first hit, other times they might kill you. But either way your enemies will feel like genuine Jedi rivals that are as capable (if not more so) as you. I could sing praises to the lightsaber combat in this game all day, but it's impossible to actually convey in text how it feels. What I can describe is how Jedi Academy builds on the foundations laid by Jedi Outcast. Right off the bat, the visuals are much nicer. Levels are no longer bland-looking, but rather very vibrant and diverse. I think this game has easily the best depiction of Korriban out of any game. The lighting has been improved as well. The level design is very digestible now and rather simple, while still maintaining some exploration elements. But this time around the game focuses more on building interesting premises to its levels. For example, in one level you have to avoid stepping on sand because there are giant sandworms within it that will eat you alive. Another level spans huge open environments and gives you and your enemies speeders. I think the progression here is perfect for someone who hasn't played Jedi Outcast. You create your own character and embark on an adventure. Although the game immediately gives you a lightsaber (which you get to design), it gradually introduces you to weapons and force powers. You unlock or upgrade one power after every mission, but this time around you get to choose which one. The game consists of three sets of 5 missions each, with some transitional missions in between, where major story developments happen. In each section you have to complete 4 missions of your choice, and the last one is optional (in case you want to grind more force powers or just curious). So, although Jedi Academy is not an RPG, you do get some choices. This extends to the story, which will allow you to pick between the light and dark sides, as per tradition. I don't think the story here is very interesting, but it's still very fun from a kind of role-playing aspect. It's about how somebody starts a cult of the ancient Sith lord Marka Ragnos, with the purposes of resurrecting him. The coolest thing is how choosing the dark side here makes you not join the cult, but rather reject both the Jedi and the cult. You get to be a Darth Bane type figure and destroy everyone. It's an indescribable feeling when you jump into a crowd of Jedi and cultists fighting each other and slay all of them. Of course all this (lightsabers, missions, story decisions) gives you some replayability. You'll probably wanna beat the game at least 3 times. I had beaten it like 50 times by now, so I've seen it all and prefer to mess around with cheats, by spawning rancors, sandworms or various jedi into cutscenes or boss battles, and watching them wreak havoc. Between this and the unpredictability of its combat, there is an infinite entertainment potential. However, at this point in my life, the campaign feels a bit short to me. It took me about 8 hours to complete it, but they flew right by. As a kid it felt like a long journey. Probably because it was more difficult for me then. This time I played through on hard and still felt like I should've probably increased the difficulty further to the max. Now the entire 2/3 of the game I kept wanting to get to the last third where you're completely done with ranged enemies and are fighting exclusively the Jedi. Not because I didn't like the first 2/3, but because I knew how much better the game gets as it goes on. From studying at the Jedi Academy to becoming one of the most powerful combatants and Force wielders and getting to fight entire crowds of Jedi at once, this is a memorable experience and one that doesn't disappoint throughout the entire playthrough. Truly one of the best Star Wars games ever. P.S. in my Dark Forces review I said I hadn't seen Dark Troopers in other games except for Battlefront. But replaying this I realized that of course there are Dark Troopers in Jedi Academy. Idk why I had forgotten. Probably because they're absolute units and seem more like robots than humans. One of the force powers JA Enhanced adds, called Insanity, is a great tool to combat those. It's basically like a Jedi Mind Trick, except the target dies after like 30 seconds or so. Absolutely brutal.

2025年4月1日 评论 Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is more than a Castlevania game - If you wanted to view it as one, it does have all the hallmarks of the series, but, if you don't care about Castlevania, you will find that it functions entirely autonomously as a self-contained and unique title. The elephant in the room is the God of War formula, which can be an immediate turn-off. But, if you're willing to stay open-minded and give it a chance, you'll discover that it's not limited by this formula and improves everything about it. In structure the game has more in common with something like Ubisoft's Prince of Persia series with a sprinkle of Metroidvania influence. It is linear, but the levels have a lot of twists and turns, some of which will need certain gear to unlock, which you will find later in the game. This makes the world feel like an actual place and adds replayability without detracting from the sense of adventure that the game ultimately aims to create. In your journey you will explore ruins of dead cities, abandoned castles and temples, reclusive villages, and many natural landscapes. Locations inspire awe and fascination, making you wonder what civilizations must've built them, what life there used to be like, and how it all collapsed. Along the way you find notes of dead warriors, telling you of their grim last moments, which further reinforces the main theme of the game: the ravages of time . What you're essentially doing the entire game is trying to reverse it, to save those who are long gone and restore some kind of mythical order that has obviously not been around for a long time. It's all over, but there is a semblance of hope that is pushing the protagonist forward. I'd be lying if I said the game is well-written, but the environmental storytelling alongside perfect voice-acting helps the game convey its main themes even with mediocre dialogues. But to return to the topic of combat, which occupies about half the game, alternating with serene exploration and puzzle-solving, it exemplifies how simple incremental changes can lead to a disproportionate increase in depth. Aside from being somewhat faster than God of War, it introduces two new systems: Dodge-meter Light and Dark magic The way it works is: if you successfully dodge enemy attacks, next time you hit enemies, they release these magic orbs, which you can then absorb either as light magic or dark magic. Your light magic will then help you restore health, while your dark magic will increase your damage. This is brilliant on so many levels. Firstly, it incentivizes you to actually use the dodge move all the time. This is an organic way of telling the player how the game should be played without forcing them. Dodging in this game is absolutely paramount, everything revolves around it, similar to Killer Is Dead. You have to employ the samurai tactic: attack and retreat. Choose the right moments, it's all about the timing. And then you gotta choose the moment to absorb the magic points because that immobilizes you, leaving you vulnerable. You have to make the decision whether it's worth the risk. Secondly, if you wanna heal yourself, you need to activate the light magic and attack opponents. Which means you're still participating in the healing process while continuing to fight. You are encouraged to be aggressive and "take" health points instead of just receiving them, which reinforces player agency. Alternatively, you can choose to get reckless and activate the dark magic in hopes that it'll help you kill the enemies faster and then hopefully you'll find a health altar afterwards. Sometimes this can save your life, as killing a dangerous enemy fast might be a more effective strategy, like a cornered boxer who chooses to fight his way out of the corner. Just the amount of different possibilities and strategies that arise from just that is incredible. But then on top of that your combos and secondary items will perform other functions with the magic enabled, varying based on whether it's light or dark. And, despite all that complexity, it all feels very intuitive and easy to remember. Another thing that's improved compared to God of War is the QTEs. I'm sure everybody dislikes them. Lords of Shadow standardizes them by making it not matter which button you press. It's all about the timing now. And these moments are usually accompanied by slow motion and a minimalist interface that you don't have to pay too much attention to, making the action on the screen spectacular and more easily observable. And there's a lot to observe, as the art design in this game is simply amazing. This is easily one of the most stunning games I've ever played, and this applies not only to how the environments look, but almost every single object in the game (not counting some breakable crates and stuff like that) is designed with so much creativity and style. Barring the original Silent Hill games, I can hardly remember another game that paid this much attention to little details. And it's all accompanied by a beautiful orchestral soundtrack. I've always liked the first Lord of the Rings movie more than its sequels because it always felt like a journey through a fantastical and mysterious world with a variety of vivid locations, and different trials and tribulations that you go through with the characters. This game is probably the closest experience to that. Probably an even purer one, as you're the one experiencing it. P.S. this Kojima trailer is fantastic and does the game absolute justice.

2024年6月15日 评论 A little too flawed to be a masterpiece - I played through the main campaign as the bad guy and the Price of Loyalty expansion. I kinda wanted to try and beat the rest of the campaigns because in some aspects this game is amazing, but at some point this goal became a torture. I have to take a LONG break from this game. I'll explain why, but first I'll try to break down what makes HoMM 2 different from the first entry in the series. So, on the surface this seems like an improvement and expansion of everything, but with the added complexity, certain patterns emerge. There are 2 spectra that interact with each other: Army build up vs. Character progression Magician path vs. Commander path These spectra are felt much stronger here than the first game because every aspect of the game was expanded with more elements. In the first game you were able to kinda do everything, whereas here until the late game you're constantly low on resources. This ends up being a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it forces you to choose a path and makes every playthrough slightly different. On the other hand, the resource scarcity simultaneously kinda chokes this system. Because it gives you many choices, but really the most effective one is still somewhere in the middle. So yeah, you can play many different ways, but you're constantly gonna be losing to your opponent unless you choose the path of balance on both spectra. Another thing that kinda chokes this system is the ridiculous imbalance. Some units (black dragons) are just superior to everything else in the game, so it only makes sense to play as the faction with that unit. Some spells (dimension door) are too. Pretty much, if you build an army of black dragons and learn dimension door, you're unstoppable. Still that doesn't stop the gameplay from being insanely addictive, not due to some cheap tricks, but because of how good it is. There's a lot of strategic depth, yet the game is simple enough not to overwhelm you. The visuals and audio are some of the most beautiful in any game ever. And by drawing from a diverse roster of fantasy creatures and environments, the world of the game ends up feeling huge in scope. In addition, with some maps taking forever to beat, each one feels like an epic adventure. Like a world unto itself, not merely a stage in a larger story. But trying to beat this game is psychological torture. It starts off normal, but becomes sadistically tough in the latter missions of each campaign. And the thing about this game is that it gives you a million chances to recuperate, rebuild an army and attempt to turn the tide. What this means in practice is that some maps will take days, if not weeks to beat. I've genuinely driven myself sick of this game. The main campaign was tolerable, which gave me a false sense of confidence. But Price of Loyalty is just fucking insane. I have no idea how one is supposed to beat it. In the last mission, the red player is running around with hundreds of bone dragons, vampires and liches per each hero and castle. So I cheated. Summoned deathstacks of black dragons, and to my surprise still managed to lose a couple of battles. I could never get like 300 black dragons through fair means, but the enemy had 300 bone dragons per hero somehow. HOW? Finally, the thing that led me to give up was two bugs I encountered in that last mission. One was when I was fighting the last castle of the yellow player and he cast a duplicate spell on his mage. I killed the mage and the duplicate disappeared, but continued attacking me. It became like an invisible and invincible enemy with 0 units, I had to bail. The other bug was that the last castle of the red player was simple not attackable. I pointed the context-sensitive cursor at it and it didn't change. No matter where I clicked, my hero would simply run there and do nothing. So I just placed my hero in front of it, hoping the red player would eventually spawn a hero of his own and I'm gonna attack him (which makes it a castle attack if he's in the castle), but he never did. I will still count that as my victory, even if through cheating, but I would say the AI was cheating too. HoMM 2 is a fantastic game with some major mechanical flaws and unfairly brutal campaigns. I'm not really removing points for the latter because I almost never play campaigns in strategy games, as they're just the same as skirmish/scenarios, with a tacked-on story and arbitrary tasks. But I think the campaigns here really helped bring out all of the game's mechanical flaws to the surface. EDIT, 20th April 2025: Thought I'd take a long break before returning to it, but, despite the game's flaws, it has a very strong residual presence. As tough as its challenges are, its world is an alluring archetypal fantasy, almost dreamlike. For a game I have no nostalgia for, the attachment I've developed is unparalleled. So I bit my lips and grinded through the last three campaigns. I have to say, these tiny campaigns had some very cool map designs, but the balancing is still insane. Couldn't beat it without cheats, probably ever.

2026年1月15日 评论 PS1 perfection - It's crazy how ahead of its time this game is. Despite having no analogue stick, with the movement and the camera control being tied to the same buttons, the game controls perfectly. You never feel like Spidey is doing something you don't want him to do. And somehow the camera also manages to be very cinematic, panning, zooming in and out at crucial moments, and still staying focused on what's important. The amount of freedom the game offers to each challenge is even greater than in some of the later entries in this franchise. There is always a lot of room for you to surround the enemies or stealth, or you can just face them head-on and fight. If you choose the latter, beyond regular attacks there are various special moves you can do with your webbing. You can also grab enemies from behind, climb on top of them and beat them, or you can pick up objects and throw at them. The possibilities are numerous. Same goes for the movement. Beyond just basic jumping, climbing and web-swinging, you can zip or point at a specific spot and let the wall-crawler find his own way there, foreshadowing a system later used in 2012's Amazing Spider-Man. The story is rather simple, but it's the perfectly recreated aesthetic, tone and level of detail that really carries it. This positively feels like the most "Spider-Man" Spider-Man game. Cameos from other Marvel characters are super welcome. It was especially nice in the pre-internet and pre-MCU era, when you didn't necessarily have direct access to other Marvel media. As a kid, I was geeking out at the appearances of Daredevil, Human Torch and The Punisher here. And then there's the enormous amount of Easter Eggs, which encourage exploration and repeated playthroughs. Again, in the pre-internet era just seeing covers of comic books you didn't have was amazing, and you would want to scour every corner of this game, often finding some really cool secrets. Now, as a kid I played the PC version, whereas this time I was doing the PS1 version. The PC version had a few hilarious bugs, where Spidey would get stuck on a wall during a cutscene or forget to web-swing and fall to his death, forcing you to replay the level. To my surprise a couple of bugs still remain in the PS1 version, but nothing nearly as dramatic. Still, I kinda prefer the PC version for its better looks and performance. The PS1 version often has pretty brutal slowdowns. That being said, it might be possible to achieve the best of both worlds using Duckstation. This game is really as perfect as you could get for its era and platform. If it wasn't for the later introduction of the dynamic open-world in Spider-Man 2 on PS2, I'd say this is the quintessential Spider-Man game. I think for its time it achieved what Batman: Arkham Asylum would later achieve for the Batman franchise, that is a complete translation of the spirit of the source material into the video game form.

Fight Night Champion is a boxing video game developed by EA Canada and published by EA Sports. It is the fifth entry in the Fight Night series and was released on March 1, 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game takes a drastic turn from its predecessors, depicting a "grittier", "darker" setting with animations and player damage that "truly conveys the brutality of the sport of boxing."

Andre Bishop is a boxer serving time in a correctional facility. After winning a jailhouse boxing match against another inmate, he is cornered and brutally beaten by several prisoners including his opponent. Bishop wakes up severely injured and damaged. The game then flashes back 4 years to his rise as a professional fighter.

Bishop's pro career begins after defeating 9-time amateur champion Joel Savon, which earns him significant recognition as a contender. After a few successful bouts, he and his trainer Gus Carisi are approached by DL McQueen, famed fight promoter and longtime foe of Carisi who offers to promote Andre under the management of his daughter Meagan. The two refuse, causing a dispute between the crooked promoter and Bishop. McQueen continues to urge Andre to sign a deal with him, only to be denied each time. He soon frames Andre of police assault with the help of two crooked cops. Andre is then sentenced to over 5 years in prison.

After a series of fights inside of jail Andre is framed and ambushed in the showers where he gets a rough beating. Soon after recovering from his injuries, Andre begins to train himself and keep fit while imprisoned. He is angered to discover that his brother Raymond had become a professional heavyweight with McQueen Promotions, the company that framed him. Soon after being released, Raymond organizes him a job as an assistant trainer. Now a heavyweight and a focused fighter, Andre beats two ranked heavyweights during regular sparring sessions. Meagan approaches him soon after and offers to get him a new professional license, having split from her father's business due to disagreements. Gus returns as Andre's trainer and helps him make an unexpected comeback as a heavyweight.

Following several successful heavyweight bouts, Andre's brother Raymond challenges him to a fight to secure a chance against the world heavyweight champion Isaac Frost. During the fight, Andre goes down but does not get up to allow his brother a chance at the title. Raymond then fights Frost, and is defeated in the first round by a devastating KO. Angered, Andre challenges Frost himself and manages to defeat him by KO. He becomes the world heavyweight champion, and McQueen is arrested after his crooked business with the framing of Andre is revealed.

The only other Fight Night game I've played was Round 3 for PSP, so I can only compare this to that.

The new story mode they added here is completely uninteresting to me. Who needs a story mode in a boxing game anyway?

The Legacy mode is still as much fun though. I'm not a big fan of the Skills training, but the fact that it's optional means that you're still getting largely the same experience, except of course the graphics and physics being better here, though I don't know how much better (if at all) they are compared to Round 3 and 4 on PS3. I noticed some details here I didn't notice in the PSP game, for example you can hear your coach shouting tips at you, and they are genuinely good ones. And the commentators are just delightful, and it's crazy how well they're able to read the existing save data and comment on your career, not just on the current fight.
