Dying Light 2 Game Review

Techland's Dying Light 2: Stay Human is an adventure role-playing game set in the year 2022. As a follow-up to Dying Light (2015), the game was released on February 4, 2022, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Nintendo is currently working on a cloud-based Nintendo Switch version. The game garnered positive reviews overall, with acclaim for the gameplay, parkour system, and open environment, but criticism for the storey.

Gameplay

Stay Human is a post-apocalyptic action role-playing survival horror video game based in a zombie-infested world. Aiden Caldwell (voiced by Jonah Scott) is a fresh protagonist with various parkour skills, starring 22 years after Dying Light. Climbing ledges, sliding, leaping off ledges, and wall running are all methods for quickly travelling around the city. Over 3000 parkour animations have been validated to provide a more fluid running experience. A grappling hook and a parachute are also useful for moving around the city. Aiden can use the undead to keep himself from collapsing as well. The majority of combat is fought using melee weapons, making the game largely a melee game. Melee weapons have a limited lifespan, and as the player uses them in battle, they will decay. Crossbows, shotguns, and spears are long-range weapons that can be used. Dismantling weapons for craft pieces yields numerous blueprints and components that can be used to upgrade weapons. As a result of the infection, Aiden may be able to deploy superhuman talents. There have been some new zombies added. The zombies are slow when exposed to sunlight, but they become more aggressive and violent at night. Players can stay on rooftops later in the day to avoid zombies roaming the streets who would normally hibernate inside buildings to avoid sunlight, or they can explore the protected insides of buildings to uncover stuff or find treasures.

The game is set in Villedor, a massive open-world city in Europe that players are free to explore. The area is four times larger than in the first game and is separated into seven distinct zones, each with its own sights and destinations. Players can scavenge for scrap and resources to construct new goods and weapons while exploring the city. Windmills can be used to lure survivors and merchants to establish communities. The player will discover inhibitors as they explore the city, which can be used to improve Aiden's health or stamina. In the game, players encounter several factions and must make decisions that will have a significant impact on the condition of the game's universe and how non-playable individuals regard Aiden. The ramifications are enormous, with the player having the ability to deliver prosperity to one party while destroying another. Certain acts will open up or close off sections of the city, enticing players to return multiple times. Like its predecessor, the game includes four cooperative multiplayer options.

Story

Setting

The zombie outbreak in Harran claimed the lives of all of the city's people, with no survivors reported. The Global Relief Effort (GRE) can, however, create a vaccine for "The Harran Virus" (THV), effectively ending zombie pandemic danger. Despite promises to discontinue all THV research, the GRE secretly experimented with the virus. In "The Fall", a modified strain of THV escapes from a GRE lab in 2021 and starts a second pandemic that spreads far faster than the first, engulfing the entire planet. Although UV light can alleviate symptoms, the vaccine and Antizin are ineffective against the new strain of THV.

Much of the world's population has been wiped out by 2036, fifteen years after the Fall. Human civilisation has been reduced to a few scattered human settlements, with Villedor, a fictional European metropolis, being one of the last known towns on the planet. Villedor, which had been isolated by the GRE, was spared the worst of the epidemic because of its quarantine walls, which also kept the hordes of sick out. The military Peacekeepers, the autonomous Survivors, and the antagonistic Renegades are among the factions competing for control of the city.

Aiden Caldwell, the primary character, is a Pilgrim, a person daring enough to wander between human settlements. He chooses to travel to Villedor in quest of his missing sister, Mia.

Plot

Aiden travels to Villedor after learning of an informant who knows where Dr. Waltz, a doctor who operated on Aiden and Mia when they were kids, is hiding. Aiden encounters the informant but is bitten by a dangerous and infected creature. Aiden is given a functional GRE electronic key by the source, who warns him that if Waltz gets his hands on it, Villedor is doomed. Aiden is also asked to provide a woman named Lawan with the key to the "Fish Eye". Waltz subsequently apprehends and executes the informant, while Aiden flees further into Villedor.

Aiden is nearly executed by scared citizens due to a lack of a biomarker, which tracks the progress of a person's infection, but is spared by Hakon, a local. Hakon explains that tensions in Villedor are high as a result of the recent death of a peacekeeper officer. Lucas and the peacekeepers believe the survivors of the bazaar are to blame, risking a war between the two sides. Aiden obtains a bio-marker with Hakon's assistance, and the two attempt to smuggle him into Villedor's central sector, where the Fish Eye is located. Players can choose to support either Carl and Sophie, the bazaar's leaders, or Aitor, a peacekeeper officer. As both sides prepared to fight, they each assured Aiden that they would sneak him into the Central District.

Regardless of which side Aiden chooses, he learns that Hakon murdered Lucas on Waltz's orders. Waltz confronts Aiden and grabs the GRE key from him, exhibiting superhuman skills in the process. Aiden follows Waltz to an abandoned auto factory, where he uses the key to activate a console before Lawan intervenes, rendering Waltz unconscious long enough for Aiden to grab the key and flee.

Far Cry 6

Far Cry 6 Game Review

Ubisoft Toronto's Far Cry 6 is a first-person shooter action game that will be released in 2021. It is the sixth main instalment in the Far Cry series, and it follows Far Cry 5 from 2018. On October 7, 2021, Far Cry 6 was released globally on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, and Amazon Luna. Set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, which is ruled as a dictatorship by "El Presidente" Antón Castillo (portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito), who is raising his son Diego (Anthony Gonzalez) to follow in his footsteps, players assume the role of guerilla fighter Dani Rojas (voiced by either Nisa Gunduz or Sean Rey), who is attempting to overthrow Castillo and his regime.

Critics praised the game's slight changes to the series' gameplay concept but criticised its story, lack of creativity, and ageing design.

Gameplay

Far Cry 6 is an action-adventure first-person shooter game set in an open-world area that the player can explore on foot or by using numerous land, water, and air vehicles, similar to the previous games in the series. The planet is separated into seven primary sections, each with a different type of geography, ranging from dense rainforests and metropolitan areas to mountain ranges and wide oceans. The emphasis in the game is on armed and close-quarters fighting. Players can choose from a variety of traditional weaponry (such as sidearms, assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, light machine guns, sniper rifles, and grenade launchers). Customizing weapons can be done with materials from all over the world.

The game introduces a "Rank Level" system that shows the player's rank as well as the level of a certain region. As the player goes through the game and explores more of the environment, opposing forces will gain more powerful weapons, and target locations will become more heavily guarded. Outposts are spread around the world, similar to previous games in the series, allowing the player to kill or neutralise opposing forces to lessen their dominance in a certain area. New notoriety and reputation-style gameplay features are also included in the game. If the player earns a high notoriety level, for example, through activities against enemy NPCs, the player will be pursued by special forces. By fleeing combat and remaining hidden for a set amount of time, the notoriety meter can be decreased.

The player can build and upgrade guerrilla bases known as "Camp Facilities," which provide useful resources and in-game bonuses for improving the character's skillset, unlocking fast travel locations throughout Yara, enlisting recruits, managing their equipment, or launching friendly NPC operations. The game's "amigos" companion system, which offers recruitable animals with a variety of talents and bonuses tasked with assisting the player in combat and exploration, replaces Far Cry 5's "Fangs for Hire" companion system.

Synopsis

Characters and Settings

Far Cry 6 is set in 2021 on the fictitious Caribbean island of Yara, which is reminiscent of Cuba (though it does appear in the game) and is advertised as "the largest Far Cry playground to date." The despotic military dictatorship of Yara is commanded by "El Presidente" Antón Castillo (voiced by Giancarlo Esposito and modeled after him), who is grooming his son Diego (Anthony Gonzalez) to succeed him.

Dani Rojas, a native Yaran rebel who served in the Yaran military before becoming a guerilla fighting for independence and striving to restore his country to its former glory, is the player's character. The player can choose Dani's gender at the start of the game.

Plot

Antón Castillo, the son of deposed previous president Gabriel Castillo, was elected president of Yara in 2014, promising stability through the development of "Viviro," a novel cancer treatment medicine derived from Yara's tobacco. He announces a conscription "lottery" to enslave workers for the tobacco fields seven years later. Poor Dani Rojas joins friends Lita Torres and Alejo Ruiz in arranging an escape to the United States via Miami as the country's military forces begin collecting poor individuals in the capital city of Esperanza. Alejo is shot and dies, but Dani and Lita manage to flee with other refugees aboard a fishing boat. However, Anton stops the boat, revealing that his son, Diego Castillo, was also attempting to escape on the boat, after collecting him. Anton orders the boat to be sunk by gunfire. Dani and Lita both survive, but Lita succumbs to her injuries after advising Dani to seek out Clara Garcia's "Libertad" guerilla campaign.

Dani discovers that Castillo has taken Clara under the guise of a parlay and is detaining her at his own home after unifying the anti-Castillo troops under Libertad. Dani confronts him, and Castillo discloses that he has had acute leukaemia for 13 years and that Viviro has ceased treating it for 6 months. Castillo insists that Dani become his general in exchange for Clara's life, since he is impressed by Dani's achievements and wishes to have a guide for Diego when he dies. Juan opts to shoot Diego instead of Castillo because he is unable to obtain a clear sniper shot on him. However, Dani knocks Diego out of the way, and Castillo murders Clara, leaving Dani as the reluctant new leader of Libertad. The Castillos return to Esperanza, which is encircled by anti-Castillo forces who have banded together.

Dani storms into Castillo's presidential palace and confronts him in his office, but Diego won't allow Dani to murder his father. Dani vows to protect Diego, but Castillo kills him before committing himself, alleging that Diego would be tortured in retaliation for his father's coup and execution by guerillas in 1967. Diego dies comforting Dani. Dani is overwhelmingly declared the new leader of Yara by the resistance forces, but Dani declines the position and hands it over to the revolutionary forces.

In a post-credits scene, Juan gives Viviro to an unnamed smuggler, who thinks Castillo's murder of his kid was an insane deed.

Call of Duty: Vanguard Game Review

Call of Duty: Vanguard Game Review

Sledgehammer Games and Activision launched Call of Duty: Vanguard, a first-person shooter set in 2021. Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S received the game on November 5. It is the 18th instalment in the Call of Duty series and a follow-up to Call of Duty: WW2. It builds on a scenario centred on the formation of special forces to combat a growing threat near the end of World War II in multiple theaters.

Critics gave the game mostly positive reviews, praising the storey and multiplayer but criticising the zombie mode and lack of creativity.

Gameplay

Campaign

The campaign in Vanguard features gameplay elements similar to those in Modern Warfare 2, such as the ability to mount weapons on flat surfaces, interact with doors, and perform takedowns. New gameplay features allow the player to take a more advanced tactical approach to combat, such as blind firing from cover, breaking through destructible environmental objects, and climbing walls to create new paths to fulfil objectives.

Multiplayer

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops II have 20 maps each, 16 of which are for conventional game types and four for a new game style called "Champion Hill", which is supposed to be the next iteration of Gunfight, a 2v2 arena format found in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The fundamental purpose of Champion Hill is to live as long as it takes to be the last man standing in a squad-based deathmatch, a round-robin competition where players, whether you're playing solos (1v1), duos (2v2), or trias, mix strategy and tactics in close-quarters, fast-paced gunplay (3v3). Each of the eight teams has a pool of 12 lives (or 18 in Trios) that they distribute one by one to squadmates while fighting each other across four levels designed specifically for this game style. When all of the lives are used up, the game is over, and the team with the most lives wins the tournament. Even though every player starts with the same loadout and equipment, Buy Rounds "increase the excitement of combat preparation" by allowing players to purchase more effective weapons, lethal tactical gear, and perks with the available in-game currency earned throughout the matches to accommodate different playstyles.

For the first time in the Call of Duty franchise, the feature "Combat Pacing" is introduced to Vanguard's multiplayer matchmaking, giving the user additional control over the intensity and density of basic multiplayer game modes. Players can choose from three pre-defined pace filters (Tactical, Assault, and Blitz) that favour different playstyles to customise their multiplayer gameplay experience. To combine these choices, select the "All" pacing option in the Quick Play menu. A "tactical" pace in a 6v6 lobby gives a standard Call of Duty experience with a traditional fighting tempo. The "Assault" tempo, on the other hand, increases the number of players in the lobby to 10v10 or 12v12, with more balanced, action-packed combat on all levels. Finally, the "Blitz" tempo provides high-action lobbies with a 24 x 24 player count, akin to Modern Warfare's Ground War mode. All combat pace variations are supported by each of Vanguard's multiplayer maps.

In addition to the Gunsmith system returning in a more refined version, Vanguard Multiplayer incorporates a so-called "Caliber system", which adds immersive elements of the destructible and reactive environment to its maps. However, in multiplayer mode, the newly incorporated blind fire gameplay features, which allow the player to shoot around corners blindly, are also available. Vanguard is also the first Call of Duty game to have Ricochet Anti-Cheat, a patented anti-cheat mechanism that works at both the server and kernel levels. In addition to the existing goods in Warzone for Modern Warfare and Cold War, Vanguard will interact with Call of Duty: Warzone, allowing players to progress and use weapons, operators, and other cosmetic things in both games. From 2019, Vanguard's multiplayer, like the previous main iterations of the Call of Duty franchise, is completely cross-platform playable, including support for cross-generation gaming on eighth and ninth-generation home video game systems.

Zombies

The Vanguard, developed by Treyarch in partnership with Sledgehammer Games, brings back the cooperative Zombies mode. The mode is a prequel to the Black Ops Cold War tale and is considered an expansion of the Dark Aether story. At launch, the game adds a new game mode called "Der Anfang", which combines the round-based survival gameplay of Cold War's Outbreak and Onslaught game modes with the objective-based gameplay of Outbreak and Onslaught. In addition to typical zombie gameplay components like perks and the Pack-a-Punch machine, Vanguard features gameplay elements from the Cold War, such as essence and salvage as currency, and Dark Aether-powered field enhancements. A new gameplay component called the Altar of Covenants gives players random bonuses in each round, allowing for a variety of battle methods. Additional objectives for Der Anfang, a major quest for storey progression, new covenants, and field upgrades are all planned for Zombies' post-launch additions.

PUBG New State Game Review

PUBG: New State Game Review

PUBG New State was destined to be a major event for the mobile gaming community, as it was set to be the next stage in the evolution of PUBG Mobile - a real sequel. As much as we love BGMI, New  State felt like a return to PUBG Mobile in a brand-new form that felt familiar yet fresh in all the right ways for the Indian gaming community.

One of the biggest concerns leading up to the release of New State was whether the game would be able to live up to expectations and whether it would introduce enough new features to justify its existence as a sequel. The simple answer is yes - PUBG New State is the next logical step in the evolution of PUBG Mobile since it introduces a slew of new mechanics, as well as a whole new set of complications and issues.

PUBG New State – New tricks, New dog

Gameplay and Combat Mechanics

Except for the combat roll, which was touted in the game's promotion but ultimately doesn't feel all that significant in the larger scheme of things, nothing about the traversal or shooting will catch players off guard. New State also features Peek, which allows players to peek over a corner and perhaps get a jump on enemies. Peek, on the other hand, provides little in the way of a tactical edge and hence ends up being a feature that players rarely use.

Breaking the player's aim may offer you the opening you need to gain a jump on your opponent; hence, the combat roll is best used in close, one-on-one encounters. The new radio messages aid communication in-game if players don't have access to a microphone, and when combined with waypoints, the squad's communication becomes much more efficient. The inventory has received a few enhancements, such as the ability to drop a large amount of loot at once by just dragging it to that location in the inventory.

The Drone Store, we learned, was the biggest attraction of PUBG New State. It is the single most important addition to the formula, and it significantly alters the results. In essence, players will be able to gather drone credits strewn across the globe and use them to purchase products from the Drone Store, which will then be delivered to a location of their choosing. The Drone Store has very powerful products like the Green Flare, which can resurrect downed friends, and the Scout Drone, which can be used to check out places and plan your next move without putting you in danger. There are lots of interiors with bulletproof glass throughout TROI, which allows for some creativity in terms of baiting opposing players and, in the best situation, leaving them defenceless if they stop to reload.

In the end, bulletproof glass doesn't make much of a difference because its use-case is pretty unusual, and gamers won't be constantly surrounded by bulletproof glass. These small, confined mobile rooms that contain a lot of riches and may be used to camp in or set traps for enemy players are a wonderful little touch throughout TROI. A molotov cocktail inside one of these chambers is a recipe for easy deaths, and if they're fleeing the room, it simply exposes them to your squad's gunfire. The new fighting mechanisms do a fantastic job of giving players a unique experience that isn't just PUBG Mobile with a different skin, which was a significant concern among the community.

The Battle Royale mode is quite good and fulfils all of the expectations of fans, but the same cannot be said for the TDM mode. There is currently only one map available for TDM: Station, which is a somewhat bland level with little of note, and because TDM is so fast-paced, the new concepts aren't put to use, so the mode ends up being a minor diversion but an afterthought. The objective was that the new maps would add more variety and, as a result, make the experience more enjoyable.

Graphics and TROI

TROI has an original vibe to it, but only in places. That is to say, while some elements of it are truly great, particularly the futuristic urban areas of the metropolis, the rest is pretty much ordinary PUBG Mobile, and it feels like a squandered opportunity. TROI has a lot of similarities to Auroa from Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, and it's evident that the buildings and "futuristic road in the midst of nowhere" feel very Breakpoint-ish. While TROI has a lot of interesting places to visit, PUBG New State doesn't seem to take full advantage of its future environment.

As previously stated, certain areas of TROI, such as Vermont, appear to be exactly what gamers could have expected from PUBG New State. However, they are merely small pockets of urban settings on an otherwise barren map. Cars certainly make the extraordinarily long expanses of a desolate desert feel a little less arduous, and this time, there is an even greater reason to travel in a vehicle because the trunk provides additional storage space for your inventory. The trunk, on the other hand, will take some getting used to, as stashing weapons and loot isn't yet second nature to players.

When it came to PUBG New State's technical proficiency, Krafton was talking big, and features like "global lighting" were prominent in the game's marketing. If your device can handle it, the game looks pretty decent. The futuristic construction of TROI allows the interiors to be lit interestingly on occasion, giving the game a distinct aesthetic, and the outside is generally attractive. While the game looked good on "Ultra" on iPhone XR, the "Extreme" graphics preset is still in the works, so it'll be fascinating to see if New State looks that much better later. Finally, PUBG New State feels like a step forward over PUBG Mobile, but not so much that it's practically impossible to go back to BGMI or PUBG Mobile without fear of a significant graphics drop.
