Mortal Kombat 1 – Khaos Reigns Expansion

By GAMES

Mortal Kombat 1 – Khaos Reigns Expansion review

Following on from the main games story, our Mortal Kombat universe has been invaded by titan Havok. Havok goes from universe to universe spreading chaos by taking key people from their universes, but our Mortal Kombat characters won’t let this happen to their universe. The story’s just as much fun as the main game, and really successfully follows on from where we left our favourite characters previously. I personally really enjoyed the introduction around Noob Saibot and all how the relationships between the characters really flourished with this addition.

As for the newest characters, I reall enjoy the flashy mechanics behind the two robot ninja, with both Cyrax and Sektor having unique and powerful moves that hold lots of fight combo potential. Noob Saibot plays really well and clearly translates into the Mortal kombat 1 fighting style. Although his design has a few ugly elements, that any die hard fans of his might need to allow to grow on them over time.

The other three characters that have been announced: Ghostface, T-100 and Conan the Barbarian all seem like interesting picks, which although I can’t comment on yet, I am beyond excited to try them out when they release. And finally, the addition of animalities was a real suprise, all of which look amazing, with my personal favourite being Omni Man’s.

Funko Fusion

Funko Fusion review by Con

Available on PlayStation, XBox and PC (PEGI 16) 3 Stars

Youth #Gottit View:

Con’s expectations for this game were sky high, as he’s such a huge fan of Pop figures and Funko products. He really likes Funko Fusion – but hopes that the future updates add more to the gameplay for his age group of fans. If this game had of been a PEGI 7 or PEGI 12, it would have scored higher on Kidzcoolit. But with games directed at a PEGI 16 or PEGI 18 audience, it needed a bit more ‘grit’ to the levels. This is a must play for Funko and fans of the IP’s within this game though!!!

PlayStation 5 – Stellar Blade

By GAMES

PlayStation 5 – Stellar Blade review

Battling on a post apocalyptic world against huge and terrifying monsters is what Stellar Blade is all about. You play Eve, a warrior who has witnessed her entire squad be murdered at the hands of the enemies (in an incredibly brutal way), as she adventures through the entire game trying to turn the tide on an already lost war!

The story for this game is super interesting. It very quickly puts you into the action and will shock you with the graphic and violent cut scenes . As well as this, the graphics are incredible throughout. Stellar Blade definitely uses the entirety of the PS5’s system and it’s really noticeable on screen. But once you get past the pretty images and the cool story, I think you’ll find the gameplay isn’t that enjoyable at all.

We love third person games like this, especially ones that give unique challenges and cool skill trees, but we found ourselves struggling to truly enjoy any of the fights. This isn’t because it’s far too easy or really hard. It works well in that regard. It’s just that the combat attacks don’t feel in any way powerful, and are rarely rarely fun to battle out. So realistically this game may not just be for us, but if you’re a fan of Bayonetta or Devil May Cry there’s certainly something here for you and possibly enjoy it far more than we did.

Youth #Gottit View:

This game looks great. Has a brilliant story. But it’s not really much fun to play. Stellar Blade isn’t a bad game as such, and some gamers may enjoy it. It just feels like the developers spent far too much time making a movie you can play and forgot they were meant to be making a game that looks like a movie.

PlayStation 5 – Rise of the Ronin

By GAMES

PlayStation 5 – Rise of the Ronin Review

Rise of the Ronin is a Souls-like story game where you travel around 1860s Japan, killing
enemies and completing many fun missions. All whilst searching for your blade twin – your samurai
partner who went missing after being attacked by the blue demon on a ‘foreigner’s’ ship.
This gameplay is honestly the standout of this title. There is an incredibly wide variety of
different weapons for you to choose from, and for each weapon there’s a giant range of
fighting styles you can play with, each having benefits and drawbacks that let you really play
the game the way you want to. The movement mechanics, though simple, are a lots of fun
with a glider and grappling hook as well as the classic horse option for when you’re travelling
long distances.

There’s also an insane amount of customisation and, although gear that has stats can
become annoying at times, the variety for both your character, their clothes, and their
weapons makes up for this. There’s also a unique buddy system that lets you make bonds
with the different people you meet through missions, letting you call on them when you need
a helping hand. As well as this, the co-op works really well, so if you have a friend you want to
play with you definitely need to try that option!

And the final awesome gameplay mechanic is when you parry projectiles, your blade can become infused with the projectile. This means you can light your blades on fire before attacking enemies.

The drawbacks of this game don’t relate to the gameplay specifically, but rather in the story
and the graphics. The story is very one dimensional and drags on a bit, leaving no urge
to do the story mode and rather just run around attacking random bad guys. As well as this, the
graphics are not always the best in some areas. This doesn’t make the game unplayable by any means but in a title like this, when world building is everything you definitely notice it. But this game is fun and well worth playing!

Fan of ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ or the ‘Dark Souls’ games will really love this game. The story though simplistic is definitely impactful in sections and the gameplay is unique and fun. Well worth a play!!!
