Game review 3

Jurassic World

Jurassic World the game, is a (mostly) FTP mobile app game that encompasses Jurassic World. When the game was first released, it was about 1 or 2 months ahead of the movie, because of this players got a very vague experience of the story through the game's mission's chapters, although the actually missions were more focused on adding or moving things around your park. Also opon starting the game, players are introduced to the battle system (Although since then, ALOT has been added.) 

As you can see here, the battle system in rock, paper scissors style with the creature with the type advantage gets a 50% attack boots and the creature with the disadvantage gets a 50% nerf to their attack. And as the image above shows, they recently made an integrated battle system with both Land an Cenozoic creatures, however upon meeting their stats will be at base. Also, the creatures have a rarity that dictates their stats, blue is common, bronze is rare, silver super rare, gold legendary. And each creature can be bought by using DNA

Also, some creature the player can combine to create hybrids, although you can only fuse them once the 2 needed creatures are at lvl40

Lvl 40 Indominous rex, base creatures needed are a maxed tyrannosaurus and a maxed velociraptor

When the game first launched, in originally only had land creatures, since then we've gotten aquatic and ice age animals, which are kept in separate areas from the main park.

Base park

For the aquatic area, you tap on the lagoon, it becomes unlocked once the player reaches a certain level.

The galcier are is located in a large building to the left of the screen, and also you can see that the player and jump into the creatures enclosure where players can feed them to level them up an "pet" them.

So, over all, the game is very fun and addicting and the devs are activly updating the game with new feature and creature and modes, such as pvp (Against bots), events, tournaments, community boss raids, and daily battles.

Journal Review #2

Minecraft

As has many gamers, I've heard and played Minecraft and actually like it for a short amount of time, well with the vanilla game, i never managed to do mods for mine so i feel i've missed out on the full minecraft experience. However the simplistic design of the game makes it unique in comparison other games (and also makes it run pretty good) Also because of its design it reminds me of playing with LEGO's as a child which brings out my inner child which i really appreciate.

Farmville

As a person who does play mobile app games, Farmville was pretty decent until you get stuck wait for crops and other items timers to run down which severely halt game play which can get irritating (Although i know its there to pace game play but doesn't work as a game you play for more than 10-20 mins a day) In comparison to a similar game, Jurassic World, whoms base is the same, in where the goal is to gain coin, food, special currency and other resources, for FV it being land, animals and decorations, for JW dinosaurs, DNA, and other items, whoever when comparing them, JW had a battle feature where you can fight against a bot which gives the game more that you can do while you wait for timers to run down, FV however doesn't have such a feature. Because of that, FV falls short of enjoyable to me because it lacks depth that alows us to pass time ingame.

Katawa Shoujo

Personally, Kawata is different from most games as it has very limited interaction with the main characters decisions and most things are automated/ randomly chosen. For example, it is suppose to be a dating game in sorts, but I never really saw the option to choose the girl I wanted to go after. Eventually the game itself just became boring to me and quickly lost interest as it became simply press spacebar to go through dialogue.

Warframe

I honestly cant say much about Warframe considering i never got the game to run due to an overly problematic login system. However, I did look up a few videos of gameplay, while watching i never really stopped to ask about the gender of the characters that is because of their armor covers them as armor should, and whats under the armor doesn't really apply to the game as important even thouh the armor themselves have a gendered shape which questions what the developers were trying to get the players to conceive.

Left 4 Dead

Out of most of the games that we played, L4D was by far my favorite as it incorporated survival and working together with a team which are my preferred types of games so it was very enjoyable to play this for the first time. What made the game fun is how the levels are designed, its done in a way that looks open but in reality is actually linear, as often I found myself exploring however always eventually getting to the safe room. I also appreciated that you couldn't lone-wolf the level as the special infected are powerful enough that you cant take them on alone. So all in all, I will definatly will eventually get the game myself.
