‘RETURN TO MONKEY ISLAND’ - REVIEW ROUNDUP!

It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck... But on Monday (International Talk Like a Pirate Day) we FINALLY got a new entry in this popular point-and-click series, and we’re ecstatic to say it’s been a big hit with the critics!

We’ve compiled the best of the big names below so you’re in the know before your download is a-go! Whewwww.

Eurogamer - Recommended

“Reader: it works. There are moments of nostalgia here that properly moved me, and one towards the end which made me want to phone a schoolfriend I hadn't spoken to in thirty years just to tell them about it. The office, 9am on a Monday, the switchboard puts through a name you can only dimly remember: You will not believe what happened in Monkey Island last night.”

Read the full review here.

GAMINGbible - 8/10

“Thirty-one years on from LeChuck’s Revenge, and Return to Monkey Island is confident about what it is, why it is, and who it’s for. This is swashbuckling point-and-click shenanigans of a most splendiferously convivial complexion that everyone who ever stuck a cotton bud in a stone monkey’s lughole or took a ride around Big Whoop, delighted in asking about Loom or half-inched a hairpiece to fashion a voodoo doll from, will adore.”

Read the full review here.

GamesRadar - 4.5/5

“Return to Monkey Island is a heartfelt and nostalgic return to a point-and-click adventure series that had long been left behind. It's fun, smart, and intuitive, with a story and presentation that is surprisingly self-aware. Whether this is your first brush with Guybrush Threepwood or your sixth, Return to Monkey Island is a swashbuckling adventure you won't want to miss.”

Read the full review here.

Destructoid - 8/10

“The big question here is if Return to Monkey Island manages to reach the quality of the original classic titles. The answer is yes, but also no. This is absolutely the closest the series has come to returning to its pinnacle. The puzzle design, the charm, and the game’s flow are all pretty much spot on. Above all, the humor is still as sharp as a shattered Jolly Rancher, landing a lot of chuckle-worthy strikes.”

Read the full review here.

NintendoLife - 9/10

“Return to Monkey Island reaches into your heart, rips out your desire to know THE SECRET, and clenches it in front of your face. As hard as it would be to concede that The Secret of Monkey Island™ might always have been a McGuffin, it’s agonising to contemplate that your 30-year longing for the Monkey Island 3 might be just the same. Delighting as you tremor, Return presents to your transfixed gaze a phenomenal point-and-click adventure, bubbling with passion and fun. All the way through, you will hope, achingly, that the big reveal is coming – and then…”

Read the full review here.

Polygon - Recommends

“Return to Monkey Island is yet another game in the Monkey Island franchise that makes only a slight effort to reflect the ever-shifting gaming landscape, while confidently clinging to the DNA that made it so beloved in the first place. And if you’re looking for the secret to creating an enduring franchise, you could do a lot worse than that.”

Read the full review here.

You can play Return to Monkey Island this weekend via Steam and the Nintendo Online Store!

I played the first level of No More Heroes, the Wii controls just make it feel so perfect.

That made me want to check out Killer 7 which is such a weird game but I couldn't put it down.

Everything about “this road” by Poe, the song at the end of each Alan chapter in Alan Wake 2, makes me go absolutely wild. The way it changes every time to fit what Alan is going through and Alice’s own perspective on his destruction over these years. The last time it appears is an entire 9 minute long segment that slowly distorts until it becomes clear “it’s a spiral.” The whispers of “I’ll find you…”

Even the sequence of events that created this song is unbelievable. Like what do you mean this is one of the first new songs by Poe in almost 2 decades? That Poe and Sam Lake worked on and recorded it in the same place that House of Leaves was edited?? House of Leaves, the book that was one of the major inspirations for Control and Alan Wake, and is written by the brother of Poe??? The looping of it all,,,,

#alan wake 2 #poe #the song is so good…#btw 90% of this info comes from the destructoid article which is great!!#the rest comes from the million interviews and tweets of Sam Lake promoting House of Leaves and Poe #I need ‘this road’ to be available on streaming 🫠#this is like the fourth time I’ve posted about this one song 😃

STRAY - REVIEW ROUNDUP!

Here at TGC we can often gauge how successful a game will be by the volume of customers that ask when it’s going up for pre-order! Well, with this third-person (feline) adventure developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive being one of the most requested games this year, we feel like the cat’s already out of the bag...

Now that the game has launched digitally, we’re here to drop reviews from the most reputable in the business and confirm to you that pre-ordering with us physically means you’re the cat that gets the cream!

* Spoiler * There’s plenty of reasons to Stray...

GamesRadar - 4.5/5

“Regardless of whether you're a cat lover, or just fancy a brilliant little platformer to sink into, then Stray is an excellent romp. Yes, it does help if you're a cat lover because it is so beautifully animated and captures the cat's personality so perfectly, but there's so much to love here. Between the alluring semi-post-apocalyptic story, the dense, atmospheric world, and the cast of quirky characters that inhabit it, BlueTwelve Studio has created a fantastic experience here. Stray is the perfect game to make everybody want to be a cat this summer.”

Read the full review here.

Eurogamer - Recommended

“Stray creates a journey filled with such a sense of exploration, on top of the chance to indulge in as much cat-truction as you like. While doing so, though, it also crafts a touching story about the human desires of those who, at a glance, lack humanity - be it to reunite with a loved one, protect a community or reach the outside world. The result is a wonderful mix: a game about the longing for freedom, clever climbing mechanics, and every cat’s eternal desire to knock items off shelves.”

Read the full review here.

Destructoid - 9/10

“Stray isn’t just a good time for cat lovers, it’s a good video game, period. A great one, even.The unassuming protagonist — a normal cat in a not-so-normal sci-fi world in which humans are long gone — is the star of the show. But the game’s surprisingly endearing robot companions, and strange, decaying yet vibrant city they inhabit, are also high points. I didn’t expect the setting to draw me in and capture my imagination this much.If you like the sound of a puzzle-adventure game that rewards curiosity and stays fresh the whole way through with a wonderfully fleshed-out world, you’ve gotta play Stray.”

Read the full review here.

GAMINGbible - 9/10

“We can all rest easy, then: Stray is stunning, creative, funny, and filled with moments that genuinely made my jaw drop. Whether you adore cats, or have some fundamental piece of your soul missing and don’t really care about them either way, this game is the real deal. It might be a little on the short side, but I was never anything less than utterly captivated and thoroughly entertained during the entire adventure. And really, what more could you want from a video game in these trying times?”

Read the full review here.

IGN - 8/10

“Stray is a delightful adventure in a dark but endearingly hopeful cyberpunk world, and that’s thanks in no small part to the fact that you are playing as an adorable cat the whole time. Its mix of simple platforming and puzzles with item-hunting quests is balanced very well across the roughly five-hour story – and though I wished my movement was a little more nimble during that time, I still loved hopping across rooftops and scampering through back alleys to find its well-hidden secrets.”

Read the full review here.

Polygon - Recommends

“Every small detail in Stray was a reminder of my finite time with both my on-and off-screen companions; once the game was over, I reached out to Oni (reviewer’s cat), full of gooey feelings, and as expected, he yelled at me and ran off. BlueTwelve knew exactly what it was doing, spending so much time and care modeling real cat movements and behavior, but having a real cat at hand was a fitting jolt back to reality. Stray is truly (and perhaps fittingly) the work of sly cat people. And for this reason alone, it’s a triumph.”

Read the full review here.

When all is said and done, we think this paw-some adventure lands gracefully on its feet and stakes a sneaky claim for GOTY! After all, the Aristocats said it best...

“EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CAT!”

Pre-order Stray’s physical release on PS5 with us right here at The Game Collection!

Destructoid the last of us dlc

Destructoid the last of us dlc full#

Destructoid the last of us dlc free#

We also learn details about Killer Is Dead's SEXY Gigolo missions, and get details on the first DLC character for Injustice: Gods Among Us. It doesn't matter your gender, if you like fighting dragons you're gunna want to play our game. On today's Destructoid Show, we mourn the death of Skyrim, celebrate the impending arrival of Bethesda's next project, and wonder what the hell happened to that XCOM first person shooter. "We didn't market the game to men or to women, we just marketed it to gamers. I forget who exactly on the panel said this, but I do remember these words clearly: The questions eventually acknowledged the fact Skyrim has a surprisingly large female player-base. At almost every gaming journalism website, there is a large number of female writers.Īt PAX East the Marketing Directors for The Elder Scrolls held a panel and answered a few questions about how they marketed Skyrim. Just look at GameSkinny, for example, and how many of our top writers are female. I am shocked that so many people fail to realize how large of a presence women have in the gaming world. With the current climate of opinions regarding women and gaming, this is a silly thing to do and will provoke an offended response. The original The Last of Us is getting a remake as The Last of Us Part I, and it’s Naughty Dog’s chance to fix the only real flaw from the original.No, I don’t mean the way it turned every. Whether or not this is simply a contest from Gamereactor, the act still stands as it is. Scrubbing away the female audience with photoshop This is the equivalent of removing Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite or Cortana from Halo. Every character is sacredĮven if you aren't pissed off about the gender issue, you can at least realize how insulting this is to the artists on the creative team.Įllie is not just a female any female video game character, she happens to be about 50% of the game.

Destructoid the last of us dlc full#

The original art is what we call a full composition: the characters, scene, props, situation, everything, is combined by the artists in a very particular way to create one single powerful image.Ī picture is worth a thousand words and the original artwork speaks volumes. This still does not explain why she was removed in the first place. The photoshopped cover features only the male protagonist and the lack of Ellie removes a sense of tension and urgency from the art. Gamereactor has yet to issue a formal response about the photoshopped cover, but some readers claim the magazine offered several variations of The Last of Us artwork to vote on. The new Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles DLC is headed by Nezuko Kamado (Advanced Demon Form). It was later re-released as a standalone title on May 12, 2015, priced at 9.99, for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. It was released Februfor 14.99 on the PlayStation Network and acts as a prequel to The Last of Us. My number one DLC is easily The Last of Us: Left Behind BioShock Infinites Those are just the few that.

Destructoid the last of us dlc free#

I have a suspicion that it was the game FUSE, which had received flak for this Charlie's Angels-esq poster back when it was still called OverStrike. Sega’s also got a free add-on for all players, adding Group Match mode to online play. The Last of Us: Left Behind is a single-player DLC of The Last of Us. For me, most of the time that means the story content. I looked into this matter, but I couldn't dig up which game Stevenson was referring too. Hell, once Official PS Mag in the US removed two of our characters from a cover we sent them Pretty remarkable, isn't it? According to James Stevenson, the Community Director and Marketing Lead for Insomniac Games, magazines altering covers is nothing cause they are Europe. Bruce Straley responded saying: we’re working on the 3rd DLC. Here's the original art:Ĭompare this to the picture of the front page of the issue (at the top of this page). One fan asked the pair what they were currently working on and inquired as to whether or not there would ever be The Last of Us 2. Lead Designer of The Last of Us (and Uncharted 2), Neil Druckmann, tweeted this pointed remark last night in response to some very suspicious photoshopping. Hello lovelies Today we have box art for. The full list of winners and nominations is presented below.Hey Gamereactor, appreciate the coverage, but is there a reason why you removed Ellie from the cover we provided? Destructoid 429: OUYA Launch Lineup ANNOUNCED Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon DLC, The Last of Us NEW GAMEPLAY &amp More. Lucas Pope's Papers, Please also won a couple more for his collection, taking home the Innovation and Best Downloadable awards. Naughty Dog's critically-acclaimed action-survival game also nabbed the awards for Best Design and Best Narrative, which it can proudly display alongside all the Game Of The Year awards it was given by so much of the games media last year. The Last of Us has claimed the title of Game Of The Year at the Game Developers Choice Awards.
