Dinosaur Hunt

Overall:

This game is, to put it delicately, interesting. That’s the best way to describe it. The achievements are a cluster-fuck and the mechanics are sub-par. The levels aren’t that hard to beat with none of the enemies being that difficult. Only reason I would suggest playing this game is for the achievements.
Gameplay:
Honestly, the gameplay is pathetic. The dinosaurs have terrible hitboxes and certain ones move so fast they're difficult to kill. You die so easily that even the smallest of dinosaurs can kill you if you let them get close enough to you. Also, guns continuously spawn, and the dinosaurs explode when you kill them causing you to drop frames constantly. The frame drop is also made worse by the fact that you constantly get notifications for achievements, but more on that later. The settings reset themselves every time you start a new game, which is super irritating because you have to change them if you want to have any resemblance of your normal frame-rate.


Story:
Don’t even bother trying to figure this one out because it makes absolutely no sense. I’ve played this game, I’ve completed this game, and I couldn’t even begin to explain the story to you. It stretches reality and just follows a squad of soldiers as they try to navigate a mysterious island to get information on a rescue squad that has lost communication with base. That doesn’t sound too bad until you start finding out why you’re there and why the rescue squad lost communication. Also, the fact that you are in a squadron of soldiers is mind-boggling considering that you are the only one on the island during game-play, there are only other characters in the story during the cutscenes. Also, the gameplay has nothing to do with the actual story, each level is just killing different dinosaurs on a different landscape, even when the story has you inside, game-play still puts you outside with no building in sight.


Enemies:
Spoiler alert: they’re dinosaurs. It’s just a bunch of different dinosaurs all running at you at different speeds. They all have different levels of health and the difficulty does increase throughout the game. However, as the dinosaurs that spawn do have more health, they constantly give you better guns so that aspect is completely mute. The story also has a T-rex with machine guns for arms, sadly the gameplay doesn’t. That would have been cool, but considering the dev didn’t even take the time to put in AI, or write a story without other characters, means that expecting the enemies from the story and gameplay to match is too much to ask.



Levels:
As previously stated, each level is just different dinosaurs and a different landscape. Every level is pretty much identical to the last and it gets completely monotonous. Luckily there aren’t that many levels considering you have to beat them to get the achievements. Each level is also just a preset amount of dinosaurs with a preset boss. It takes no real effort to beat them as the difficulty factor is lacking from this game.





Achievements:
This is the only reason any sane person would play this game. There's over 1000 and they aren’t difficult to get, in fact, they’re way too easy. Pretty much any action warrants 16 notifications for achievements with 8 saying the exact same thing. The funny part about them is they are user submitted achievements. If you message the developer with an achievement idea and artwork for it, he might put it in the game. This creates some funny achievements considering most of them are making fun of the game. This also just shows that the developer didn’t care to make a good game, he knows that he can develop a terrible game with way too many achievements and people will buy it, play just long enough to complete it, and then uninstall it.

Conclusion:
Unless you are an achievement hunter who only cares about the sheer amount of achievements this game offers, steer clear. This is a fair warning to anyone who thinks this game looks cool. If you received a free copy as a gift, you paid too much. For achievement hunters, this game is great, 1000+ achievements and a completed game with no effort. Take the achievements out of this game and it's outright terrible and the developer knows that and does not care. The achievements are the only reason this game didn't earn a 0.1/10

Poly Bridge

Overall: Poly Bridge is a bridge construction game that honestly surpasses the rest. No other bridge construction game offers the kind of levels that this one does. Of course, there are the basic "get this car across this gap" levels that any and all bridge construction games offer but there are also the "bounce the car off of this platform hanging off a hot air balloon" levels. Some of the levels that are in this game are so outrageous that they're funny and that comedic effect of the game is not one that is found in most bridge building games. Worlds: There are seven worlds in this game. Each world has fifteen levels that all have a common theme (artwork not solution). Each world gets progressively harder than the previous world and each level in a world gets progressively harder. The first couple of worlds are pretty easy but the further along you get the more and more difficult they are. Difficulty: This game has a very nice bala...

Devil Daggers

Image
Overall: This game could be considered as a survival horde FPS that is very difficult to say the least. You get placed on a platform where all sorts of enemies come and try to kill you. You’re only defense are the daggers that you shoot out of your hand. Yes, you read that right, you shoot daggers out of you hand to kill what can only be described as demons. The only goal of this game is to survive as long as you can. Demons: Demons is the best word to describe the enemies in this game since you are in what is assumed to be hell. To begin with the base demons spawn out of spires that spawn randomly around the map but in a pattern. There are two main spires that spawn three different types of types of demons. Each spire spawns the base demon which flies toward you but is relatively slow and easy to avoid, however if not killed they can really add up and begin to be hard to avoid because of numbers. The first spire also spawns a horned demon which flies towards the mid...

Killing Floor 2

Image
Overall: This is a very enjoyable multiplayer survival FPS. It's an amazing sequel to what was already a really fun game. The Developers stay on the game constantly updating it and listening to the community which is nice in a day where most companies get their money and abandon the game. The achievements are fun to try and get. The only issues would be the occasional bugs, servers, and the community . Game Modes: The core game type is a wave by wave survival FPS with three different lengths; short, medium and long. Short has 4 rounds, medium has 7 rounds, and long has 10 rounds. There are also 4 different difficulties; normal, hard, suicidal and hell on earth. Normal is for your beginners, nothing too difficult while hard is also not that difficult but can be tricky if you're running solo or don’t have much experience. Suicidal is probably the balanced difficulty; it offers a challenge to experienced teams while still being achievable fo...
