Busy, Busy

Hello again, everyone. I just wanted to let you know what has been going on as of late regarding my posting-or lack thereof-on this blog page. As the title implies, I have found myself to be quite engaged as of late with work schedules, prior commitments, and other events that drew me away from my writing space; this does not infer stagnation, however. I have a Steam review currently being processed, as well as a Nintendo 3DS title: the first non-Steam game to be critiqued with Spearpoint Reviews. I am very excited to be branching out from a single platform to provide my perspective to a wider medium. Thanks for reading.

Go All Out! (Post-Anniversary Update)

***I would like to give special thanks to my brother yet again for enduring the proofing of these reviews. Much love to you as always. ***Changes made preceding and during the Anniversary Update released early April 2019 are outlined below each individual topic. The title is still in Early Access, but significant updates have drastically altered this title to meld it into a capable release. Go All Out! (GAO!) is an Early Access two-dimensional fighting game developed by Blue Sunset Games. As with the Early Access model, GAO! currently features a limited selection of game modes, characters, and unlockable assets such as skins and costumes. This review will be updated periodically to reflect the ongoing critique of the product. I should also note that I received this title from Steam Curator Connect, but have no personal or business ties to the parent company or product. Here are a few reasons to go all in in GAO!: Characters - There are three in-game personalities which the playe...

Spider-Man

As an avid fanatic of nearly every single Spider-Man title ranging from Maximum Carnage on the Sega Genesis to the more recent Shattered Dimensions that I personally experienced on PlayStation 3, as well as the comic book series and visual works, there are few games featuring the infamous webslinger that truly capture the essence of immersion quite like Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4 (SM4.) This recent installment in Marvel’s wallcralling odyssey by Insomniac Games retains the core concepts of excellent control layout, sublime writing akin to the comic books, excellent functionality of the Dualshock controller, and the webbing-pun intended-of all of these notions into a wholly enveloping experience. Here are just a few reasons to start slinging in SM4: Combat - Appropriating an uncomplicated control scheme of pressing Square to strike, Triangle to web-zip to opponents, and Circle to dodge oncoming attacks, SM4 utilizes a combination-based striking system that evolves as you progr...

Fantasy Life

***Special thanks are extended to Phantom for proofing this review. I owe you far more than one. Initially gimmicked as a kids title with seemingly no content to each specialization other than appearance, Level-5s Fantasy Life (FL) for the Nintendo 3DS boasts a depth unseen by first impressions in its large game world, simple yet intriguing story, uncommon career system, and customization options. Having myself been deterred due to the stigma attached to titles termed Life, I am pleased to say this experience was worth the purchase, though with minor flaws detailed below. Before beginning, I would like to say that I have played both in multiplayer and single player, but cannot attest to the downloadable content since I do not currently own it. Here are a few reasons to give this title a try: Story - There is not much to be said against the plots rather short duration, and it does earn its merits. You explore the land of Castele as bizarre occurrences hazard the land. Similar to B...
