My thoughts on Worst Reviewed Steam Games

I know a little early, Happy New Years!!!

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I figured to high light a web series I gotten into this year. The one in question started a little over an year ago. Some YouTubers covered similar videos to a degree. What helped this particular one stand out from those. Each entry in his main Worst Reviewed Steam Games videos all had 10 games on the service with terrible to worst reviews.

This video series debut September 3, 2023. The most recent entry came out on December 15, 2024.

Of course, you may wanna expect a few licensed games thrown into the mix. To date he reviewed one hundred twenty games on Steam for this particular video series. Usually a month per an entry with mostly over half an hour in length videos. I actually got a lot of respect for YourFavoriteSon doing this video series.

YourFavoriteSon does have other videos on his channel. I mostly tuned into these videos I'm here to discuss here. Obviously a lot of work went into each entry. It's already difficult to review a handful of games within a video. He's virtually doubling for both handful worth of games. He does explain at the beginning of these videos how I chosen the games he reviews.

With the possible exception of Monopoly, I felt he's a fair reviewer. He often gives some praise to the stuff he likes. Even a few of these games despite their reputation on Steam, he does enjoy to a degree. He does paint a great picture with each game he reviewed for this series. Considering Steam has thousands of games maybe more than most console gaming services for that matter.

It really shouldn't be a surprise Steam had so many bad games. To clarify, Steam does offer some truly fantastic games as well. Sometimes you watch stuff like this because the best gaming stuff. After a long while kinda gets boring. Then you start watching videos like this for a vastly different reason. Purely curious to see how bad some of these games actually are.

It also could be "Wait that's on Steam? Maybe you just wanted something a little different. He doesn't rant these games like The Angry Video Game Nerd or similar internet critics. Well the critics I actually have respect for anyway. He does explain as close to everything he can about each game featured. I been wanting to write this for a while now.

Sure I could've messaged him on X or commented one of his videos how much I appreciate this series. No this is more directly me taking some time to properly show the man respect for his hard work. He does try to cover a variety of game play styles within these videos. Which isn't the point of them in the first place.

Although it does spice them up a bit. He must be a saint with ridiculous amount of patience. Roughly a handful of these games I would've stopped playing or consider refunding altogether. I do think he's taking this video series into the right direction. Indirectly I hope Valve takes notice of this video series.

In order to change guide lines to prevent a notably fracture of not great games getting into their service. There's some unclear stuff about this video series I wish he could answer in the near future. Probably the big one I have is how about not great older games like Earthworm Jim 3D? Sure I do own that on GOG but most agrees the PC version worst than the N64 version.

I'm already commenting Battle of the Eras on DOS to another YouTuber in his The Worst Fighting Game series. Speaking of which come on you gotta do it!!! Back to this, some of these games are surprisingly expensive too. I won't ask how he's able to keep this series going with that issue in mind.

Here's a tip for his personal Steam account. YourFavoriteSon did you know you can make sections within your Steam library? You could make one for every game you covered on your video series in one place. Then again why would you wanna do that? Regardless, it's an interesting video series that kept improving on the way.

I know some people might be wondering. Does he accept requests for games to possibly be in this series? Well yes he does actually, he even states this himself in the video series. Personally I would like to see him review Umbrella Corps. Which is among my most disliked games on Steam I owned. Despite I previously won that with Strider reboot off of Twitch years ago.

It's not often he covers games that requires other services. Going back to Monopoly, he sure wasn't happy about Ubisoft doing that. Is it wrong to say Monopoly on PS1 looked as well as played better than this? The crazy part is there's still plenty of areas he haven't even touched yet. Assuming this video series continues for a long time.

Eventually he'll review a game within every genre of gaming there is. Which by itself could be a fun spin off video he could make. Also he must own a great computer to pull a lot of this off too. I been watching this for months, I apologize I forgot when I started to. I will say YourFavoriteSon please keep up the amazing work you do.

Explaining my most ridiculous video game purchase to date

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today I'll explain my recent Christmas purchase. Which is currently my most ridiculous video game purchase I ever done!!! No you may not know the budget. Although here's a crazy hint about it. I'm actually saving over three times the budget which is crazy to begin with. The actual size of the purchase instantly speaks volumes of insanity!!!

I also wanted to say I took a lot of proud going for this ridiculous concept. Only Christmas you see stuff like this happen. At least once a year maybe even a lifetime. Exactly how I felt going for this particular purchase. A couple of these games I really wanna play soon. I do apologize some reviews gets further held back.

Although, this is giving me more interesting reviews to do in the upcoming year. I will try to finish what I previously set out to do. Two vampire point & click games getting reviews soon. Stuff like a video comparison for Resident Evil: Village and Resident Evil 4 Remake. Well I don't have much more to add then you might eventually get it in another format.

I also wanted to say I been buying across the year from GOG. I personally wanted to directly thank them for their amazing service this year. I even scored a couple games I always wanted to play. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Vampyr to name a few. Clearly I got a lot of reviews coming your way.

Before I reveal what's all in that purchase. Yes I considered both Xbox and Steam for Christmas. I never had anything solid Xbox wise. I kept coming back to wanting much more than a couple games. A small hint what's coming shortly. Just in case stuff comes up in the next few years. I have enough games to hold off buying em in awhile.

We're talking what some might consider possibly two years worth of game play within this purchase. I quickly went for a truly fun theme. Originally it was comical tags on video games. Closer to Christmas, I decided every game within the purchase must have Funny tag. Thus, the name Funny Christmas came to life.

I don't recall any purchase I kept changing as close as much. Not only I wanted the most bang for my bucks. I also wanted the single most ridiculous purchase imaginable. Also a gigantic joke for those that knows at least some of these games. After all, I do enjoy comedy to a degree. I'm more of someone that prefers more mess up humor like The Angry Video Game Nerd.

By the way, AVGN 1 & 2 Deluxe on GOG I didn't go for. There originally were going to be a few games that came out this year included. Ultimately I gave em up for even crazier possibilities. I really wanted the most fun games for this purchase. I never expected how creative I ended up getting with this concept. It's a great variety of game play styles.

You could even view this indirectly as a compilation to a degree. Some of these I was even surprised were on GOG at all. Funny Christmas really worthy of a Christmas purchase. I could see a few families actually enjoying em. I also aimed to get virtually everything I could. Obviously some related games I couldn't get. To me this still as complete of an experience as possible.

Either when you see this purchase. You could be freaking out, laughing hard or virtually at a loss of words. This is really going to blow people's minds!!! Of course, I also could've went for some of my big 2024 games. Personally it won't be enough to satisfy me. A few games for this budget seems kinda lacking. I really don't feel that with this purchase though.

Partly I'm hoping when this purchase becomes known publicly. GOG has to comment about it in a good, surprising way. If I can get them laughing hard. Then my job is done, all of this suddenly meant much more. I'm also happy to continue supporting GOG. Especially what a great year they had. This would be giving thanks for many years of my support to their cause.

I really would love to hear your thoughts on your first impression of this. I am really dying to know myself. You can tell I really went the distance with the concept I sent out to do. Possibly the funniest purchase I ever done!!! More than enough video games to keep me busy for months possibly years. Also now I can truly say I have seen everything lol.

I also plan to explain why I selected each of these games. I will try to keep it shorter than necessary. It's nearly sixty games after all just imagine I fully covered all of them. Christmas should be something huge as well as special. Obviously that's shining through this purchase. I strongly felt this would make me the happiest out of all the purchases I considered for Christmas.

Overcooked! 2 Gourmet Edition was simply too good of an deal. The most expensive game within the purchase. It also packed with the most actual DLCs as well. Overcooked! series is a cooking simulator you work with all kind of situations. They actually gotten creative with that concept. This also more meant to be a coop game eventually I would like to try that with someone.

Neighbours Back From Hell was instantly in when I found out about it. A remastered of two Neighbours games plus you get a compilation game of those same games. You constantly doing pranks to your neighbors. Just going by the trailer, it quickly reminded me of classic cartoons. I was instantly hooked to getting this game.

Spellcasting 1+2+3 aka Spellcasting Collection on Steam. A forgotten DOS game series that's sorta like Leisure Suit Larry series in a sense. Look I tried not going for games like this because of my wife. There was just something about em I had to check out. You knew some retro was going to be in this purchase.

Epic Chef is a weird mixture of a game. You got a cooking/farming simulator with traits of an adventure game. Already that's a lot to take in as a gamer. The goal is eventually become Epic Chef. You know cooking competition shows where you win a title. Such as Master Chef, Iron Chef and more. The game also has a rather interesting indie game design to the characters as well.

Asterix & Obelix XXL Collection is officially three games based on a classic comic strip series. This is as close to Popeye I gotten with this purchase. The duo in these wacky cartoony adventures. Of course, I wanted that nostalgia with somewhat more modern games. A surprisingly great deal to get the trilogy as well.

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse is a game I knew about a long time. This is the remastered version by the same company doing Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain series. The trailer alone further sold me on this game. This is as close to Dead Rising series I gotten with this. It's not that often I play as a zombie in games either.

Attack of the Earthlings takes the classic invader concept. Then flipped it around where you play as the aliens defending their home from humans. Parts of the trailer gotten me a little more interested. I may like aliens to a degree. Thanks to Invader Zim and Men in Black series for that lol. The game just seems interesting to check out.

Toasterball is a weird sports game. I do mean weird instead of people playing sports. In their place are toasters I'm not high for reference lol. The trailers further sold me on getting this game. They actually cover more ground even referencing the classic Arcade game Pong. This also can be played with other people making this more interesting to play soon.

Political Animals is one of those you attempt running for office games. Except everyone is animals that's kinda interesting. It's a strategy game filled with choices. This already sounds ridiculous right I bet it does lol. A rather interesting art style with the animals included. The simple fact this game actually exists yes please lol.

McPixel 3 kept selling me further the more I looked into it. It's a follow up to McPixel doing the famous skipping 2 tread. Goat Simulator series also done that with Goat Simulator 3 themselves. You get into many situations that has many possible outcomes. They really get crazy with the situations too. It's more like The Henry Stickmin Collection in that regard.

Zombie Dinos from Planet Zeltoid just going by the title caught my attention. Originally an CD-i game you know the famous bad Nintendo games on Philips game console lol. The trailer alone further sold me to get this game. Just looking at the pictures they had up for it. We got time traveling dinosaurs oh god lol.

A few interesting stuff about Zombie Dinos from Planet Zeltoid. Yes they got a voice actor from one of the 1987 cartoon show. They also using stop motion to a degree. It's technically a weird educational game. They also used live action actors in the game as well. The 90s allowed some rather interesting video games lol.

S.W.I.N.E. HD Remaster is a newer version of a classic strategy game. The original version previously gotten released free online despite the multiplayer no longer functions. The newer version is very true to it's concept. We have pigs going to war with rabbits. They actually allow you to play both their campaigns is crazy to imagine.

HyperParasite is kinda similar to Attack of the Earthlings. You are playing as a parasite that manipulates DNA to a degree to take out humans. Just going by the art work awesome it seem awesome. The trailer convinced me to give this one a try. Imagine games like Alien series or Alien Synodrome but you're the aliens.

Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine just by the title alone got in. Everything else further sold me on this game. It's a spin off of Super Meat Boy series. Heavily inspired by Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Which was actually the US localize version of Puyo Puyo. They took that concept then made it over the top violent as well as bloody.

Infectonator 3: Apocalypse was another game that instantly sold me. Similar to a degree to HyperParasite. You play as a virus in this horror simulator. It's actually more directly like Zombie Night Terror that also has zombies. They taken the same concept then went even further with it. You got the entire world to infect at your finger tips.

Axe Cop surprisingly has a retro style video game. Axe Cop is a stupidly ridiculous character capable of doing impossible things with ease. Just trying to imagine how or why bother with an video game? Honestly it kinda gets you wondering what possibly in this game. The trailer does give you a good idea how truly mess up it is lol.

Clunky Hero is a weird metroidvania game. Your journey to save your wife as the village. Rufus wears a bucket over his head while armed with a broom. The trailer kinda convinced me to get this game. I been getting a couple metroidvania games this year. I probably should mention his wife got transformed into a blonde duck faced doll.

Armed and Dangerous is considered a classic by a lot of people. Some even considered this among the funniest they ever played!!! It's a third person shooter with humor thrown in. Parodying several movie franchises including Monty Python, Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. Personally I kinda liked the robot character from what I seen.

Armikrog is a spiritual successor to The Neverhood. I grew up with Skullmonkeys which was a sequel to The Neverhood. All of them involves clay stop motion within video games. Some of the team members from those games worked on this. I'm a sucker for stuff like this. Armikrog does seem somewhat interesting from the trailer.

Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure is a point & clink comical game. The trailer does bag some questions to a degree. I knew I had to go for a game of this style within the purchase. Inspired by Broken Sword, Discworld and Phoenix Wright respectively. Parts of the description sounded a little interesting.

New Joe & Mac - Caveman Ninja is a newer version of the classic game. Just imagining cavemen that are ninjas wow oh okay lol. I did grew up watching The Flintstones. You take on other cavemen as well as dinosaurs while saving the cavewomen. I also grew up with Chuck Rock on Sega Genesis. Which might be better than this I won't know until I play it.

Deponia Full Scrap Collection is a collection of four Deponia games. I previously gotten the original Deponia game free. Deponia is a graphical adventure game series with it's unique art style. I always welcome getting a few games for the price of one. Simply going by the pictures I kinda wanna check all of them out.

The Crackpet Show is a mess up roguelike shooter with animals. They even crossed over with Happy Tree Friends. I do enjoy watching that web cartoon show myself. It was like Itchy & Scratchy on The Simpsons but somehow more violent with more characters. This game really isn't hiding how truly mess it is either, I love that!!!

Hogs of War is a parody of World War 1 with pigs. It's also virtually Worms but instead of worms it's pigs. They were inspired by Worms series after all. I previously owned all nine Worms games on GOG. You play as a unit of pigs taking on other units of pigs from around the world. I couldn't imagine war getting uglier than this lol.

MouseCraft is a weird puzzle game. It's virtually combining aspects of Tetris with Lemmings. I grew up with The Simpsons: Krusty's Super Fun House. Which also involved helping the mice get to where you want em. The big difference is you actually aren't out to kill em. I should also mention all of this is made possible by a professor whose a cat yeah enough said lol.

Journey of a Roach is surprisingly a apocalyptic story involving roaches. You probably heard the famous saying. Roaches can survive a nuclear war well that's exactly what happened lol. The story about two roaches that really wanna see the surface of the world. Parts of the concept sorta reminds me funny enough Gurren Lagann.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a sequel to Octodad. A game you actually can get free on Steam. It was originally a college project with a lot of former college students. A lot of them came back to make this game. We have an octopus that takes care of a family of humans. The entire joke is he struggles to do human things while hiding the fact he's an octopus in disguise.

Gomo is another point & clink game that's made by the same company. Responsible for Deponia, The Whispered World and Edna & Harvey - The Breakout respectively. Gomo goes searching for his dog after an alien kidnapped em. Simply going by the trailer you just aren't sure what you're in for. What I do know is I'm hoping for a few laughs while playing it.

Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is a sequel to Tales from Space: About a Blob. Obviously you play as an upset blob in a weird platformer games. It might've inspired Slime-san as well that's kinda similar to this. I also liked how they applied physics to such an unique concept. I previously had The Ooze through Sega Mega Collection Plus closest thing I played to this.

Brutal Legend is this epic comical hack & slash game. Starring musician/comedian Jack Black I'm already sold. The story more similar to Army of Darkness. In both stories an unlikely hero got sent to the Medieval Ages to save the world from the forces of darkness. It's virtually a more rock driven Army of Darkness with higher levels of humor thrown in for good measure.

Theme Hospital is a successor of sorts to Theme Park. Imagine most theme park games you set those up. But you are setting up hospitals instead. They heavily parodied anything medical imaginable. It's even in GOG's new preservation program. Often considered to be one of the greatest hospital games ever made!!!

No Ghost in Stay Home is one of those multiple endings short games. It's actually cheapest without a discount being literately priced less than a dollar. It's also part of a series that usually starts with No Ghost in the titles. Parts of the art style caught my attention. Plus a free Halloween update adding more endings makes it even better.

Update: you need to earn 100 currency coins to unlock that section of the game. It's notably shorter than One Night Stand. At the same time, it's kinda more interesting in some areas. I can't get upset over a game already incredibly cheap without a discount either. I just wish parts of the controls were a little more clear.

Motor Mash is a classic racing game that's a little like Mario Kart series. Just less about the power ups that's still somewhat cartoony. The closest game I played to that is Cel Damage HD. There's a lot of tracks as well as rememberable characters. It's almost Wacky Racers in a video game. Which actually does have a few based on that cartoon show.

Hell Pie instantly sold me from just well go look it up online. The trailer is kinda mess from what shown. You play as the Eighth Sin as in The Seven Deadly Sins. Here he's the eighth sin with a weird angel companion. It's a twisted take on hell itself. Hell Pie is a game some might not even believe exists.

Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition is a weird game you throw projectiles like spears at enemies. The trailer really doesn't hold back how over the top it is is. Not to mention it's a surprisingly gory game with brutal head shots. I also like parts of this is German to a degree. My family heritage is German, I always welcome that when it's not Nazis.

Bonkies is monkeys solving puzzles in space. I used to like monkeys a lot back in the day. This also meant to be more of a coop game. Obviously you get shapes to fit into positions but you're doing it in such a weird way. The concept of monkeys getting sent to space is real. It's one of those concepts people have to do their own take on in some form.

Haimrik is a weird concept of a game. Even trying to explain the trailer is confusing. You play as a guy that becomes trapped inside his book. Which is why you are seeing quotes often as you're playing it. The art style kinda interesting to a degree. It sorta reminds me of Comix Zone with the concept.

Not a Hero is a story about a former assassin turned amateur campaign manager. Yeah a killer for hire that wants to go into office bags a lot of questions. You play as a lot of characters to prevent an mayoral candidate from the future whose a rabbit. I swear isn't Bugs Bunny!!! The trailer alone further sold me to wanting to play this.

Samorost 2 is a sequel to Samorost 2. I couldn't fit Samorost 3 within this ridiculous purchase. It's another point & clink game nothing wrong with that. You play as a little space gnome searching for his dog. I never heard of space gnomes before. I knew about gnomes in people's gardens. This dog got kidnapped by aliens just like Gomo.

Slime Rancher is sorta a farming simulator you take care of slimes. I am deadly serious slimes are literately among the least scary creatures ever. Except that slime from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, he's awesome. This ranch she's managing is a thousand years away from Earth. Everything about this is strangely out there that kinda pulls you in a bit.

Maize is a weird game involving a person accompanied by a rude robot toy bear. This isn't even the part that caught my attention you might wanna get a strong drink for this. Some scientists misunderstood a concept that led to corn being like people. This government facility so happened to be in wait for it an corn field!!!

Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers is sorta like Comix Zone & Comic Jumper. More like the later since both are mostly wacky shooter games. He is on an epic journey to reclaim his grandpa's underpants. LOL what did you expect something that made sense? Parts of the game play from the trailer caught my attention too.

Stick it to the Man! is a rather strange game indeed. You play as Ray who had a bizarre accident that gave up an additional arm from his brain. He also can read minds to a degree as well. It's an unique platformer with a rather interesting art style. Of course, people are against him it's one of those stories we seen so many times now.

Fenimore Fillmore: 3 Skulls of the Toltecs is an western story taking place in 1866. This was among the last of the golden era point & clink games. The story involves a cowboy in search of three golden skulls. Which leaves to an unexpected journey to undercover the truth. I didn't go for the other Fenimore Fillmore game simply because it didn't get tagged Funny.

Pilot Brothers is the first in a series. The other two entries also weren't tagged Funny. The story involves two brothers that's searching for a rare striped elephant from Russia. They also so happened to be detectives. They get to travel around finding clues. It's also another point & clink game surprise!!! Most comedy games in the 90s were that style.

Pilgrims is a weird adventure game involving cards. The same team behind Machinarium and Samorost. It's also one of those multiple endings games. It's meant to be replayed to fully experience the game. The art style alone is so unique. Pilgrims seems like a weird combination of a surprisingly great time.

Runaway 2: The Dream of the Turtle is a sequel to Runaway: A Road Adventure. The other entries weren't tagged Funny for reference purposes. I actually looked at a few reviews I don't need to play the original first. It's also another point & click game. You play as Brian Basco traveling from Alaska to Hawaii in a search to find Gina following an airplane accident.

Think of The Children is probably among my weirdest choices in this purchase. You play as parents that must complete tasks. You also got to prevent kids from dying. Parts of the story played out as a story in court. This also meant to be a coop game as well. The title alone already what? Then knowing all of this too it's mind blowing a game like this exists!!!

Ankh trilogy follows Assil in a series of adventures. Obviously it's an Egyptian focus franchise. Kinda like The Mummy series with Brendan Fraser. This was roughly around the time Prince of Persia came back with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I figured they was a more light hearted, silly take on that culture.

One Night Stand is a style of games I usually don't go for. Sadly it was the only game cheapest enough I could go for to properly stay within budget. Obviously it's about having an one night stand. This is a short ending with multiple endings. How this even gotten tagged Funny is puzzling? I played many games where your choices decides how stories plays out.

The game is about figuring how this occurred. Which leads to a lot of endings in a notably shorter game. Personally I would've preferred if someone made The Hungover series into a game. Now that actually would've been a lot of fun. The game sounds like those desperate 2010s comedy movies. You know the ones trying so hard to be over the top while being as disgusting at the same time.

Update: last night I played two runs of One Night Stand. Although it does confirm an one night stand happened. You don't see anything that's alerting surprisingly. The interactions you have with a few characters almost comes off as being realistic. I no longer felt so mixed about owning it. I still can't recommend the game despite how cheap I gotten it in a rather crazy purchase.

With the possible exception of One Night Stand, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Sometimes you gotta add to your carts stuff you don't necessary want. But your options how to stay within a budget well you get it. I allowed my creativity out in a huge way. I actually had a lot of fun with this challenge I gave myself.

There's many directions I could've gotten. None of them was either this crazy or would've satisfied me like this. You can really see a good idea how I view things. Hopefully you get a better understand of my sense of humor as well. Funny Christmas turned out to be truly amazing stuff. I felt I really out done myself this time lol.

Update: I tested most of them live. Only Runaway 2 at the time didn't work. Thankfully I was able to fix it through the files. I am still quite happy with my Funny Christmas purchase. I'm more proud I just went with the unexpected yet fun theme. I already can tell which games truly are going to be a lot of fun lol.

The even crazier part is more than seventy teams across all these games. Not to mention, a little over thirty years of gaming represented as well. Which never was planned for this purchase. In all honestly, it's just like rainbows it just happened. I also didn't expect this much variety of game play styles. Yes it's mostly point & click games.

At least a few styles of shooter games as well. I attempted to go more risky humor. Again One Night Stand never was in that plan. I felt sometimes when I play games. I don't really enjoy em like I used to. Then I quickly gravitated to getting a lot of games that's tagged Funny on their store. Laughter can truly do a lot for someone.

This is exactly why I gotten so angry over having to buy One Night Stand. The last thing I need is my wife thinks I'm up to something I'm not. I kinda feel a little like that with Spellcasting 1+2+3 as well. But in it's defense, they are mostly more text based point & click games. Yes you do get to see stuff but it doesn't go too far becoming an porn game or at least closer to an hentai one.

The games I'm really glad I went for. We're talking Brutal Legends, Stubbs the Zombie, Hell Pie and a few others. I gotten them all with great deals including anything additional I had to buy as well. I felt if I didn't go for this purchase a good number of these may never get selected again. Also Sega always has deals on Sonic series, I'm not going to lose sleep over that.

I am also aware some of these games might not be funny to the degree as other games. It could be just one moment or a handful of them compared to Stubbs the Zombie that's filled with em lol. Speaking of Stubbs the Zombie, it does remind me somewhat of Dead Rising series. Eventually I'll play the newer version of the original Dead Rising it's high on my list.

A good amount of this easily could be played at parties. Indirectly, I did partly consider a handful of these online with people. I highly doubt I could sell people I know to play stuff like Toasterball. I felt determination as well as creativity got tested during this process. I know might see this as a rather stupid purchase.

Again that never was the intention I was aiming for. No what I really wanted were games I missed out on that I might've enjoyed over the years. You really don't know if you do or won't until you give em a chance. I played so many games I already loss count lol. Another major goal I aimed for was taking my time playing all of these over months maybe a few years.

Just in case, we had to make major changes to get pass or moving to another location in the near future. There's a chance both could happen. This alone is why I ultimately didn't go with Xbox and Steam respectively. I don't want people to think this was the last resort or a purchase done out of desperation. To be truthfully it never was either of those.

Sure I could've went big for Sonic on Steam. Considering it's a huge year for the franchise. I felt I got plenty humanoid animal theme games. Even excluding this purchase not to mention Tekken 8 still a little too high on the sale to go for. Don't worry I got a few games you beat up enemies in. I'm also covered there as well in this purchase.

What it actually is I know stuff may come off within the next few years. I previously planned on not buying games for a long while. If I get any money I either put it towards something important we need. The future comes a lot faster than a lot of people realizes. I simply wanted games that I couldn't necessary rush.

Obviously, the length of games can notably differ. Some can be surprisingly shorter than expected. Others could take a lot of hours to get through. Even if you stick to the main campaign. Overall, it's more about how actual fun all these games ended up being in the long run. There's no way I could know that right now.

Yes I'm aware as of a few hours Overcooked! 2 also on Game Pass. Again I simply couldn't pass up that deal. They did sent an additional thank you for buying Overcooked! 2 email. Somehow I doubt they would've sent one for another game had I not buy that too. Also buying all of this on GOG, I actually own them all is rather nice too.

I also wanna point out after playing a little with Motor Mash. This is the newer PC port that's actually the PS1 version. I wasn't fully expecting that among starting up the game. I was able to get my controller to work with it. My GOG collection is bigger than my Steam collection. For the most part, I'm very proud of Funny Christmas purchase.

I may not view Christmas like I do Halloween. I'm a little more strict keep things to Christmas in a sense. But you also gotta enjoy yourself during the holiday too. Christmas always been among my favorite holidays. New Years is actually one of my least favorites. But to end things on a good note. I do think I'm having a great Christmas, I hope others having a great one as well.

The Gaming Clowns of 2024

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's an idea I originally had for Halloween. Then I decided to hold off for a great reason. There's a chance I might add more to the concept or not closer to Christmas. Also once in a blue moon I like to do concepts not many people going to do. In this case I will be doing The Gaming Clowns of 2024.

What exactly is this some of you possibly wondering? Within my long list of games I played this year. I kept running into clowns, I swear not planned at all. Look even with my username, XboxClown89 I'm just as surprise as most of you. It's best to consider this a rather unique viewing of 2024 gaming in a nut shell. Which going to be represented to a degree by clowns.

I figured the best way to do the concept is start from the earliest video game on my list to feature clowns. Some might actually be surprise I'm starting with Balatro. I also felt this would be the perfect way to kick things off. Not to mention, it already going to help tie all of this together without anything additional. You can tell I'm very excited to do this.

1. Joker cards from Balatro

February 20, 2024

There's currently one fifty Joker cards in the game. A rather interesting variety that guarantees there's something for everyone. I would even dare to say the most invited clowns to a party out of the bunch. Of course, one of the biggest clown games had to show up. I strongly felt these Joker cards really speak for themselves.

2. Jester and Jack Attack from Puppet Master: The Game

May 3, 2024

I know some people are funny about allowing jesters into clown stuff. Ultimately both are determine to make people laugh. We actually got two clown characters that's vastly different. Jester is the more unique out of the two. I still prefer cosmetics for Jack Attack a little more. You know you're in for a great time when both of them are in matches together.

3. Klowns from Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game

June 4, 2024

I mean come on, you knew The Klowns had to show up to this. You get five classes with a lot of Klown characters. Not to mention, a good variety for customization. They also have Lackeys that helps somewhat in matches. I guess the humans still haven't had enough of them. The Klowns are truly a lot of fun to play as.

4. Killer Clowns from Castlevania Dominus Collection

August 27, 2024

To clarify, in both Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin. Killer Clowns shows up in a few sections as enemies. Almost reminds me of X-Men's Gambit with throwing cards. I also loved their death animation as well. They also come off a bit freaky from their appearance. It was a huge surprise to see em in that collection. 

5. Zombie Clowns from Killing Time: Resurrected

October 17, 2024

There's two versions of Zombie Clowns in Killing Time: Resurrected. You got the original 3DO version that attempts to grab you with voice overs. Actually more notable voice overs than the PC version. The later PC version simply punches you. The later version reminds me more of Twisted Metal. The original version actually looks like a real clown coming after you, pick your poison!!!

6. T.H.I.S. from Terrordrome: Reign of the Legends

October 17, 2024

T.H.I.S. is heavily inspired by Pennywise, The Thing and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. This alien mimics a clown's appearance while wielding an chainsaw. Without question, one of my favorite characters in the game. Somehow they came up with a rather interesting clown character. I absolutely loved the ending this thing gets lol.

Here's my ranking of the clowns pulled from Games of 2024 list down below...

6. Killer Clowns from Castlevania Dominus Collection

5. Zombie Clowns from Killing Time: Resurrected

4. T.H.I.S. from Terrordrome: Reign of the Legends

3. Jester and Jack Attack from Puppet Master: The Game

2. Klowns from Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game

1. Joker cards from Balatro

The main reason why Joker cards from Balatro gotten the top spot. There's a Joker card for everyone. Of course, there's some similar effect Joker cards. You also got a couple you aren't expecting to see show up. I strongly felt the level of creativity that went into these Joker cards deserved the top spot. To be fair, Klowns weren't far behind either.

Games of 2024 ranking

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I got quite a rather interesting selection of games I played within 2024. Honestly, I wanted to go as big as I possibly could. Considering this possibly could be the last time I ever do this. Obviously we all have a different taste in things. Maybe you get to really know who I am after all of this lol.

I figured with a long list of games I played this year. I will simply do one long ranking this year. I could do a few smaller ones to showcase other stuff. Ultimately most that read this either know which game is my choice for Game of the Year. Now I had a lot of fun playing these games. Even the lowest ranked game is still a lot of fun to play in it's own right.

11. Bleach Brave Souls

I originally played a little of the Steam version. But the version that's actually getting represented here is Xbox version. They packed so much content of the franchise into what originally was an Bleach mobile game. I will give them respect they covered this much of the manga in it's story mode. There's plenty of stuff to do while playing the game.

Some might find it boring or repetitive after awhile. Achievements aren't that bad with plenty of variety to choose from. I haven't played many Bleach games to clarify. This is among the best of the ones I had played. This is a massive fan love letter to the fans. Bleach is still among my favorite Shonen Jump stories ever despite things.

Bleach Brave Souls is free to play games. Which means if you want particular stuff you have to buy em with real money. But considering you get this much without doing that is kinda mind blowing!!! You really get a lot of bang for your non existent money here. I simply can't place this higher well you quickly soon see why yourselves.

10. Terrordrome: Reign of the Legends

I previously bought this while it still was on early access. Around mid October the game finally leave early access. Which means it officially came out on Steam. A small spoiler another game on the same list has that going for it. Personally this isn't nearly as great as that one. I already said almost everything I possibly could say about the game within my review of it.

This is good if you want an horror fighting game to play. It's a good alternative from Mortal Kombat 1. Not only that, I do think they will continue to make parts of the game better. It's difficult to say how long before the last major stuff gets in though. What I can say is you still going to have a lot of fun with this. I personally felt it still needed a little more time before it got released.

9. Nightmare Kart

Nightmare Kart is a free Mario Kart racing game on Steam. As soon as I show it a few months ago. I had to give this a try despite knowing little to nothing at that time. I would say for a free Steam game it's amazingly great. You get just enough content to play for a little while. I never expected an Mario Kart style game like this.

Not only that, in most aspects it absolutely delivers. At this point it simply needed a little more everything. Just a little more you could be playing this a lot of hours. I will say it's way better than Team Sonic Racing. This is as close to an racing Bloodborne or Nightmare Creatures you're going to get.

8. Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game

Easily the most expensive game on this list. All the stuff added since my review of the game. This kept getting even crazier overtime. This really felt like I was in the movie when I'm playing this. Playing both sides was a rather unique experience. Customizing your characters is done just right. I do think more of everything going to be added as time goes on.

This game has an interesting sense of humor. You get some amazing maps with the mall map being my favorite. You also get newer Klowntailities for free when they get added to the game. I just wish they would change parts of their ticket system. Previously I could've made getting DLCs for this most of my Christmas presents.

Sadly that's no longer going to be the case. I will say they absolutely nailed this game well. I also loved it's multiplayer focus that really helps the movie shine through more. This was a rather refreshing take on everything. In all honestly, I am curious to see what other surprises they may have in store for us. Especially they're now adding previously scrapped Klown characters to the game, I love that!!!

7. Balatro

I have some experience with card games. Funny enough majority of that experience is from TellTale games. Balatro is absolutely amazing at everything it does. This isn't boring poker, it's the crazier, wackier cousin. You know that cousin you gotta have at your wedding or it won't go well. The fact they added in additional cards that all plays into everything is rather impressive.

There's such a learning curve with only on complete run at this time. You really gotta commit if you want every achievement/trophy in this. The fact how everything could possibly plays out. You just never know what to expect during an run in this. This has to be the most unique card game I had ever played!!!

I also wanna give the developer respect on how every aspect somewhat transformed int one hell of a party. I simply love the insane amount of creativity that went into this. I put a lot of hours in having so much fun. I don't have a solid issue regarding anything. I do wanna see what 2025 will bring to this game.

6. Goat Simulator: Remastered

I bet some of you are surprise this is here. Thanks to Game Pass, I got to play this game. It's a wacky simulator game you play as a goat. But that's just barely scratching the surface what this truly is. You get as close to everything possible with this. Each section actually felt like their own games. They really didn't hold back on the jokes.

The way this is planned out at least one of these sections you may enjoy. They even parodied the MMO RPG experience in a nut shell. We even get a parody zombie game thrown in for good measure. The insane level of creativity with all of this!!! Goat Simulator: Remastered is among the best remasters I played this year.

No it isn't the best remaster of 2024 in my opinion. I will say for an remastered game not done by Nightdive Studios it's great. You literately have something for someone here. A rather fun achievement/trophy list. Plenty of surprises to keep wanting to see it all. The maps are all very interesting at their core.

5. Puppet Master: The Game

Last year I had this among my Games of 2023. Earlier this year it finally left early access. I would say this is one of the best multiplayer games I ever played!!! You really can see the passion for this franchise. Virtually everything about it is done incredibly well. You get just enough variety in everything to keep playing this for hours.

Not to mention, everyone in this discord community rather nice people too. Some impressive cosmetics both free & paid respectively. You can even play the single player mode as most of the characters. Personally you gotta play Puppet Wars at least once in your life. This mode absolute chaos that's a really fun time.

Puppet Master: The Game is among my favorite multiplayer Steam games. Let's hope they could get the game onto consoles. Otherwise, the game is free by default. The additional stuff you gotta pay is well designed. They even nailed character's size differences within the game play well. They really done a fantastic job with this game.

4. Doom + Doom 2

Here's an remastered game that virtually shadow dropped this year. We previously knew Nightdive Studious was working on a few remasters this time. As of recently they released five of them. Which is quite impressive in every sense of the word. Doom + Doom 2 was their third remastered game this year. This really packed in a lot of content.

You are getting virtually everything plus more. If you previously bought either Doom 1 or Doom 2. You already own this remastered version. You even have mod support to play even more levels. We have nearly two hundred levels by default. I previously stated I never seen Doom play this damn good!!! This is a must have in your gaming collections.

You really get so much Doom you really could be playing this for months possibly years. This is among the most replayable remasters I ever played!!! I really can't criticize about it either. You are going to have one hell of a great time. It's absolutely amazing in every possible way. You really can't get tired of this especially the multiplayer with a few modes as well as a lot of maps.

3. Killing Time: Resurrected

This was the best Nightdive remaster of the year. I previously played the PC version of Killing Time. This remastered version truly felt like the definitive edition. They made a lot of great changes. It went from being an alright FPS game into one of my favorite FPS games ever!!! It's truly impressive everything they pulled off with this.

I was hyped from the original trailer right up to it's release. You can only imagine how happy I was when I won an Steam copy of this game. This is absolutely mind blowing with all the additional stuff you're given. They fully brough this game back from the grave in a way the world never possibly could have imagined.

I simply love you can change the enemies out between two versions of the same game. More recently they added in Duncan Mode for those wanting more of an challenge. Despite a small amount of content that's loss. We still have the most complete Killing Time version there ever going to be. In every possible way they nailed it incredibly well.

2. Resident Evil Bundle

No one expected Resident Evil 1-3 classics to come back this year. GOG did a great job with all three of them. I am still mind blown how great all of them plays after all these years. You are virtually getting everything without anything additional. My personal favorite being Resident Evil 2. I bought the bundle as an anniversary present from my amazing wife.

The changes they done to make it work better on computers. Mostly the same games from PlayStation 1 you grew up playing. Some of the finest survival horror games on GOG. Obviously I was going to put this quite high on my list. Resident Evil Bundle is really worth your money. This brought back so many memories while playing em.

The actual game sizes is very nice since they don't take up much space at all. Without question, the best overall PC experience with the franchise I ever had. I am not kidding how great this bundle truly is. A controller works perfectly possibly better than how they previously had on PS1. I highly recommend buying this as soon as possible on GOG.

1. Castlevania Dominus Collection

I know it was a little bold for me to say right in the review blog for this particular game. Game of the Year right off the bat. But in it's defense it really deserved the top spot. Yes more so than Resident Evil Bundle which was a very close second. It really came down to the little things. You simply get more awesomeness with Castlevania Dominus Collection.

It's even better than Castlevania Advance Collection in nearly every possible way. Some truly great Castlevania games you can constantly come back to. All the additional content without anything you need to buy is very nice. Especially considering the main games were pulled from DS. An handheld console by Nintendo done this much justice!!!

In all honestly, it really set the bar for many things high for me. You literately get everything plus more. I really can't even criticize it at all either. They really went the distance to deliver a truly fantastic compilation game. It's so damn good, it made every game on the list work harder in my eyes. This is more of you really gotta play this!!!

My thoughts on AVGN Game Glitches: The Legacy Sequel (2024)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today marks the end of the eighteenth season of The Angry Video Game Nerd. Which constantly for a long time been one of my absolute favorite shows ever!!! I do wanna discuss the new season finale. I also felt since I previously done a rant on his new Castlevania episode. What's my thoughts of the other episodes of the season?

Although some episodes of this show did aired on television. They were notably censored, it just isn't the same. Just stick with the original, uncensored episodes you're set for life!!!

1. The Goonies 1 & 2

The episode works enough to get you laughing as well as keep you interested. The Nerd mostly reviews both NES games based on that film franchise. Some of the jokes still stick with me to a degree. It was also kinda an unexpected episode to begin an season on. This seem more like one of the middle episodes in the other seasons to me.

2. My Horse Prince

James previously played the mobile game on an episode of James and Mike Mondays. Well it's one of those really this is a real game? You bet it is, a girl falls for a somewhat humanoid horse. He attempted to do most of the episode from a cell phone. I say parts of that concept worked while others didn't. What I can say for sure is if I ever have kids they're not playing that!!!

I skipped discussing that Castlevania episode you don't need anymore of me ranting hard on it.

A link if you wanna see my rant maybe because you want to...

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2024/05/what-is-best-castlevania-avgn-rant.html

3. Sim City

This quickly became one of my favorite episodes of the season. Possibly one of the best modern AVGN episodes for that matter. He also previously played this on an episode of James and Mike Mondays. I felt this episode was really well written. Some of the funniest jokes ever are presented here. This essentially was close enough to the classic AVGN episodes in terms of rewatchable.

4. Glover

I actually grew up with this game. Rolfe wasn't aware the game come back on some services with other versions coming soon. I felt this comes so close being a great episode. But it's still a very solid AVGN episode. Maybe a little more editing could've helped. Glover was an interesting one for him to cover on his show considering it's not an bad game.

5. Deja Vu

I confess right off the bat surprisingly the funniest episode. Even more than the season finale in my opinion. This was simply too good of an AVGN episode. It was so vastly different from the usual style. Yet when the jokes started coming, it kept getting funnier. Especially blowing your nose part in particular I laughed very hard among the first watch.

6. Nosferatu

If you exclude Castlevania episodes, we have three vampire Halloween episodes. I will confess it's the weakest among them. It's not the episode's fault, the other two vampire Halloween episodes were way better. I just felt he could've went a little deeper with the game. Not to mention, some jokes didn't exactly hit the mark for me.

7. Blaster Master

Blaster Master was one of those nostalgia episodes he does with a twist ending. Surprise this is part one of the season finale. The episode really hits you in the face when the plot of an AI comes more into play. It was a surprisingly entertaining episode. Despite mostly focus on a good game. People forget he covers good games while still pointing out his issues with em.

Game Glitches: The Legacy Sequel

I confess I wasn't a fan of the original Game Glitches episode. This one really made up for that in a way I never expected. The Nerd joins forces with an old enemy to take on a common one. It kinda reminded me of Atari Jaguar logo came out the television. He sent his cat to deal with it but more entertaining. We get to learn more about the Game Graphic Glitch Gremlin.

The Nerd realize he couldn't stop this AI alone. Of course, they fought each other a few times in the episode. I'm happy his friend Kevin came back to reprise the role. A good amount of the episode is slower pace with everything started to pick up the pace. Right around when the two agreed to take this AI on.

I should point out the AI is played by his former neighbor and childhood friend, John. Whose currently doing Neighbor Nerds with James. Essentially replacing the more famous James and Mike Mondays. I'm glad he gets to include one of his oldest friends into an web show that made so much to people. It always meant so much to me since 2008 I checked.

This gremlin went inside James' classic game consoles glitching up games. Then just when they thought they won. The AI gets out a more recent game console with updates. One of the weirdest paradoxes I ever heard of. The short version is the gremlin glitched his debut episode online. Somehow this caused him capable of glitching more modern video game consoles.

The console in question was PlayStation 5. I will say they picked the right games to do this concept with. You knew that PS2 Rocky game get in there. I laughed a few times with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. I knew a handful of glitches in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Even the newer Spider-Man games couldn't escape this gremlin.

I also liked we get introduced to his wife whose pregnant. You knew they had one holiday trick left to do. A famous PS2 demo disc glitch a classic. This episode I felt had the most inspiring story direction of the story. There's no question, it's a great season finale to end an season on. There's plenty of great moments from start to finish.

Usually for the most part his Christmas episodes or season finales that aren't necessary Christmas. They are among the very best episodes of the season. Obviously this lived up to that expectation. It may not be my favorite season finale episode. You're still in for a lot of laughter. Honestly, it does still have some Christmas vibes to a degree.

I will reveal my absolute favorite season finale episodes.

I guess I'll take you back to the past by covering those in reverse order.

Final Fantasy 6 (Season 17)

Obviously not a Christmas game he's reviewing. But it does have Christmas aspects that made the episode rememberable. Like when Santa tripped to unplug his SNES. He was almost done with Final Fantasy 6. Which caused his save gone upsetting the Nerd. Everything about this episode was incredibly done well.

Home Alone Games with Macaulay Culkin (Season 12)

I confess I wasn't crazy for his Home Alone 2 neither an holiday special on another web show. Where he played Home Alone 1 on NES. This really made up for all that!!! Not only he covers those games again. He covers more Home Alone games. Now throw in the star himself, Macaulay Culkin. This was a great Christmas episode with plenty of great jokes.

Sega Activator Interactor Menacer (Season 10)

The Nerd had an friend playing with many accessories for Sega Genesis. I absolutely loved the concept they went for. Just imagine kids not caring playing with this stuff in an house. You actually would see such chaos within a room. I also grew up watching classic cartoons with slapstick humor. This episode was really up my alley.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (Season 9)

I actually grew up with the PS1 version of this MK game. I was lucky to not have the N64 version lol. Obviously not necessary an Christmas episode. But considering it's an spin off Sub-Zero game. You know the blue ninja that freezes people it kinda works. This was a beautifully done season finale I couldn't stop rewatching.

12 Days of Shitsmas (Season 8)

Before anyone freaks out about this. Originally James filmed a little over an hour worth of an AVGN episode. He decided to carefully split it up into twelve episodes. Which all debut literately days apart. Considering that it's done incredibly well. There's plenty of surprises that made the entire season finale a truly fun time.

Wish List: Part 1 and 2 (Season 7)

At one point in your childhoods you looked stuff up in magazines you wanted for Christmas. Heavily playing off that nostalgia. The Nerd reviews some of his games he always wanted to cover. Then the remainder of these episodes were filled with huge requests from the fans. In all honestly, Rolfe truly nailed this concept very well.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Spawn (Imagine) vs Ghost Rider (Marvel)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I think it's finally time to cover my current biggest Death Battle request to date. I been waiting a long time for the actual episode. It's season finale worthy in every sense of the word. It even had a particular Death Battle Podcast episode they couldn't stop talking about the fight.

I am talking about Spawn from Imagine comics vs Ghost Rider from Marvel comics. This is a truly epic showdown worthy of Hell itself. Two heroes given powers from an hellord. Then they ended up going against em to constantly fight the supernatural on a daily basis. Two god like beings with insane potential. It's no wonder why so many people wanna see these two go at it so bad!!!

Sure both of them previously won on the show. But this would be the best Death Battle episode for both characters. We really get to see them at their absolute finest. I'm really hype for this particular match up. Animation alone is enough reason to sell people on this. Then everything else is simply cherries on top of that sundae.

Verdict

Ghost Rider

Before Spawn fans gets upset yes I'm using the more famous Al Simmons. Just like I'm using Johnny Blaze in a similar fashion. Although they possibly might swap him out for his brother, Daniel Ketch. Therefore I'll present two versions with each brother for this fight prediction blog. Both of them can do a lot of the same stuff with ease.

Not to mention both can regenerate to a degree while having a weakness to holy weapons. Therefore just like Black Adam vs Apocalypse situation. We gotta take a closer look at their powers as well as how they counter each other. In that regard this is where Ghost Rider takes it. Spawn can still die from either using up too much energy or having his head cut off.

Both things Ghost Rider can easily do during this fight. Parts of their powers uses imagination to a degree. But for Spawn that's mostly his unique cape. Ghost Rider can simply alter anything he touches. This means an vehicle or any weapon for that matter can go from not a threat to a serious one without warning. It's safe to say Ghost Rider's powers heavily using imagination.

Let's be honest, Simmons prefers to use guns against some enemies. Even he knows they aren't effective against supernatural ones. He usually sticks with regular ammunition. In comparison, Ghost Rider could simply allow himself to be shot up to simply be fine right afterwards. This would be a different topic if Simmons used ammo meant for the supernatural.

Then again as previously mentioned holy weapons would weaken him as well. Obviously not a good idea for Simmons. Ghost Rider fights with his chain that can bypass durability. Which means even if Spawn were to get scale having higher durability. Ghost Rider can simply go through it to harm possibly kill him.

Considering Simmons both alive & dead killed a lot of people. Ghost Rider's Penance Stare would be very effective against him. Which by itself has some terrible possible outcomes. Including erasing Simmons altogether spiritually. Going back to Ghost Rider's chain, Spawn's chains simply doesn't compare.

Now I know some people may bring up when Penance Stare failed to work on The Punisher. Who has some similarities to Simmons. I don't think this is going to be much of an issue. Assuming they go with that logic, Simmons still loses for plenty of other reasons. Plus Penance Stare has a few possibilities that may still work on him.

There's also how long both has their powers for. In Spawn's case, his energy essentially is his life force. The more he uses his powers, the closer to death he'll become. The big issue with Ghost Rider is some situations could prevent Ghost Rider from fully losing his powers. Which also makes Ghost Rider the more broken character in this situation.

This is important because both held their own against some truly powerful beings. Ghost Rider could handle some of them at their most powerful. Spawn had to follow instructions from the Mother Being to deal with both God and the Devil respectively. I know some heavily play off God Spawn as well as Omega Spawn.

Both of those has different factors that could quickly lead to neither being presented in the episode. God Spawn was Simmons following instructions from the most powerful being there is. He simply wasn't allowed to do anything that isn't a part of her plans. As for Omega Spawn that rivals both God and the Devil in power.

All of which only second to the Mother Being. Spawn's universe just isn't as nearly as big or as insane as Marvel multiverse. What might seem incredibly powerful in Spawn's universe just isn't in any Marvel universes at all. Now Simmons as Omega Spawn would have infinite energy. Then again, Ghost Rider had defeated similar opponents before.

Such as Mephisto and his son Blackheart respectively. Also considering his Omega Spawn form happened after his events within the comics. They would have to argue to include it or not. Then again they did allow Bardock his Super Saiyan 1 form for his episode. In all honestly, even with the insane amount of abilities Spawn has.

Majority of them Ghost Rider can easily counter. Simmons lacks a solid method to even harm Ghost Rider. He also lacks a counter for any of his spiritual methods to directly target the soul. Which also means Ghost Rider can simply devour his soul. We still haven't even gotten to the elephant in the room yet.

In some situations, Zarathos has taken control over some of those he possessed. Zarathos can rival beings as insanely powerful as Galactus!!! Death Battle even stated those battles could possibly destroy the entire multiverse just as a side effect. The insane level of power alone could dwarf Spawn's most powerful forms with ease.

This also means if Spawn were to be the more powerful being. Ghost Rider through Zarathos can instantly give him the stats advantage in this fight. It's even stated Ghost Riders can only be killed by God aka The One Above All!!! Which is a pretty ridiculous concept with everything considered. This by itself is beyond any label Spawn ever gotten.

Ghost Rider has more ridiculous regeneration as well. He could even survive spiritually stuff. There's no question, Spawn is a truly impressive character. He simply can not handle Ghost Rider at all. Some could argue Daniel would be even better than his brother Johnny at being Ghost Rider. Temporary Ghost Rider fought World Breaker Hulk in canon.

You know one of the strongest forms Hulk ever taken!!! The same form that easily owned a lot of big name Marvel characters. Spawn only shot at victory is hope none of the unusual situations occurs. Allowing either Blaze or Ketch to become Ghost Rider again. When you take a closer look at their powers, it quickly becomes very clear cut.

You could argue Spawn defeating a particular hellord as possible game changing. Then Ghost Rider easily top that by doing the same exact thing!!! Ghost Rider's motorcycle is very ridiculous. Durability might come off being questionable as shown in Lobo vs Ghost Rider fight. Which I'm a huge fan of that episode as well.

Ghost Rider can instantly bring his motorcycle back like it's nothing. Not to mention, this bike can easily go many times the Speed of Light!!! Spawn lacks anything that remotely comes close to that. Ghost Rider is more prepared for the even crazier situations that could occur in this fight. Simmons simply can only do so much to delay the inevitable.

Even considering Spawn could come back from Hell. Well that still takes some time to happen. Of course, Ghost Rider will be waiting for him to return. Then again he easily could destroy his soul multiple ways. The simple logic Ghost Rider can instantly change strategies on the fly. Simmons can't handle Ghost Rider even if he's given an army of hell spawns.

Another way to look at this is Blaze and Ketch were alive when they both become Ghost Riders. For Simmons, it was in death he became Spawn. I know kinda a mess up logic to throw out in a fight prediction. Ghost Rider simply can counter everything Spawn throws at him. At the same time, Simmons lacks anything major to even harm Ghost Rider at all.

Directly power scaling wise it's not even close. This is just like Goku vs Superman situation. One character in a notably smaller multiverse to another whose in a massive multiverse. It makes sense the character in the bigger multiverse essentially the superior one. Even Rick Sanchez knows this. In the long run, Ghost Rider could end the fight anytime he wants.

Winner: Ghost Rider (Marvel)

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Kratos (God of War) vs Asura (Asura's Wrath)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Death Battle already announced the next season premiere episode. Following the season finale being Among Us vs Fall Guys. Which I called it, I just didn't expect Wile vs Tom for awhile. In a way I should be upset this happening before that. I rather have to wait for what's ultimately going to be an timeless classic anyway.

I already said so much how I felt about this match back in my very lengthy Tournament of Champions blog. I do think this is going to be a good episode. Just not either of the matches I rather wanna see. Well it makes more sense than Among Us vs Fall Guys. Not to mention, two matches that lost polls in a row kinda weird.

At least Kratos vs Asura won't be in the next Tournament of Champions. This is far from the matches confirmed I wanna see. We are talking Mahito vs Shigaraki, Wile E. Coyote vs Tom Cat, Gru vs Megamind and especially Kyle vs Simon respectively. It's not technically a meh which is a good sign. I do think we're getting a truly epic showdown here.

Verdict

Kratos

For all it's worth Asura brings in endurance as well as raw power to a degree. The big issue with his character is he needs to constantly get push to reach higher levels of power. Which never was an issue with Kratos. Also it's debatable how much Kratos could be given in this fight. He does technically have some more notable god traits that can't be ignored.

Some of which Asura simply has no real counters for. Such as Hope as long there's hope Kratos can negate many things. He once used hope on the Blades of Olympus to "save mankind" that led the world into the apocalypse. You know the same blade that once taken his powers. Kratos also proven to be notably harder to kill.

This weapon is capable of killing gods as well. It's debatable if Kratos be given such a weapon. He also has many other options to constantly stay ahead of Asura within a fight. Such as suddenly bringing out the head of Medusa. Who has a curse among looking into her eyes, you turn to stone. Kratos even can fight Asura in the air to a degree despite his appearance.

It also doesn't help Asura that Kratos has more of a notable arsenal. Asura is purely close range combat with his six fists. I'm sure they plan to stick to the canon for this one. So they won't be considering Asura fought Akuma to a standstill. Especially they could argue Kratos beats Akuma in comparison. It's debatable which character has more actual years under their belt.

Kratos is more prepare for majority of everything that possibly could happen in this fight. In vice versa, Asura simply isn't prepare for most of those. Also considering he has to get in close. Kratos can easily change his tactics to fight him from a distance at any given time. Kratos even has a more notable defense than Asura whose a strong offense with a serious lack of defense.

Therefore, we got to go by whose more notable. This might be seen as being unfair since Asura in one game while Kratos in a couple games. Both fought against their own pantheons including the top gods. But Kratos actually done this to two pantheons. Sure some could argue Kratos had help against Odin. You also gotta realize Odin is a very well prepared god.

Odin by himself had what he needed to make major changes. There was no way anyone could fight Odin solo in that universe. Especially when Odin's knowledge limited most of their options by default. Scaling will be a truly frustrating one for this fight. They gotta scale both of them differently first. Then the hard part is creating a brand new scaling to work with both characters.

This by itself could possibly alter the outcome of this fight. I still don't think Asura quite on Kratos' level. I know some likely going to say. We see Asura fighting in space against armies. Yeah he did do that in Asura's Wraith I won't argue that point. I could argue though Kratos fighting two pantheons is ultimately more ridiculous.

Another major difference is Asura has to struggle coming back to life. Previously Kratos had this problem until Hope factor came into play. This ultimately means as long Kratos believes in hope. He simply can not die in this fight. Death Battle previously used similar characters. Most of which actually loss on the show.

Makima and Chosen Undead with a notable different factor that made em quite tricky to kill. Makima was spiritually connected to the people of Japan. Chosen Undead can keep coming back as long he had the will to do so. Which is similar to how Hope works for Kratos. Let's be honest, there's no way Asura going to cause Kratos to lose that will.

Kratos is so used taking blows from powerful beings. Even if he lacked a lot of his arsenal. Kratos has proven to fight directly against some of those beings with his hands. This is also why Asura's fighting style going to cause him the victory. Not to mention, he can easily lose his arms as well. Even if Asura could go full power right off the bat.

Death Battle actually has some mind blowing feats to give to Kratos. Some of which is simply beyond concepts to a degree. Lifting wise it's virtually Hercules level of ridiculousness. Asura never shown many physically feats in comparison. This also means Kratos can very easily overpower Asura in a fist fight.

This also means even if Asura were the better fighter. Kratos can easily go right for the kill off the bat at any given time. Just three methods Kratos has to directly bypass durability. Neither Asura has any real counters for. This could be seen as a god variation of Goku vs Superman with everything considered. Asura obviously being Goku in this situation.

Kratos being Superman having so many advantages it's not even funny. Kratos also used to think quite similar to Asura as well. Which he can directly use against him in this fight too. Speed is going to be among the trickiest to determine. I could argue Asura is ridiculously fast closer to his full power. Then I could counter argue that with some of the stuff Kratos done himself.

Both held their own without their powers. Kratos would have the advantage previously being a warrior in the Spartans. You know stuff like an movie called 300 series based on. These warriors had the right level of offense with one of the best designed shields in history. I mean come on that's kinda obvious. Asura also doesn't offer much outside being an berserker.

His main strategy is heavily overwhelm his opponents until he wins. But there's virtually no way that's going to happen against Kratos. Try to think of this as Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul rigged moving on. Kratos obviously being Mike Tyson in this example. Asura being Jake Paul in vice versa. Kratos has more notable combat experience.

Kratos also fought a bigger variety of enemies across two pantheons. Cerberus vs Fenrir needs to happen some day. Same with Anubis vs Hades, I would love to see that. Of course, I know I sound like a broken record on this. I'm really waiting for the day they do Zeus vs Odin!!! Just going by that logic, Kratos is better suited for all the possibilities in this fight.

I'm also aware Asura does offer his long range attacks to a degree. Again this heavily depends on how much of his full power he's using. Kratos has plenty of options to counter this too. Kratos could even stop Asura from doing em too. This is exactly why I'm not that interested in this fight. It quickly falls apart after you compare the two, Kratos going to win this fight.

Winner: Kratos (God of War)

Goat Simulator: Remastered (2024)

Special thanks goes to Microsoft for putting Goat Simulator: Remastered on Game Pass last month.

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I decided to go for a newer version of a weird joke game. I previously had it as a free game on PS4. This is the remastered version that really came packing with content. I would even dare to say one of my favorite funny remastered games ever!!! Sometimes you gotta play something so crazy to help get your mind off things.

Goat Simulator: Remastered (2024)

Like a lot of people I originally found out about this game through a showcase PlayStation done. Such a weird trailer that nearly perfectly described the entire experience. I am not kidding you go watch that announcement trailer. Then you play this within minutes it all makes sense. I usually don't play many simulator games.

To be honest, it's one of those genres my wife more into it. The closest thing I played to this funny enough is Garry's Mod. You actually could fully recreate this remastered game in that. There's a lot of stuff I gotta talk about. You get the main game called Goat Simulator: GoatVille. This is the game most people think of when they talk about Goat Simulator.

There's six additional sections you also can play. All of them notably differs from GoatVille. Game play wise it's rather interesting for many reasons. You get challenges you can complete with some unlocking stuff. You quickly notice some similarities to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Well the better Tony Hawk games anyway.

They hid so many jokes across of these. I can tell you a lot of them are notably hilarious. This game kinda that JackAss game we never gotten. Even Steve-O would agree with that. Goat Simulator: Remastered is an sandbox game that allows you to explore the maps. Which do differ in size with some having hidden sections to a degree.

GoatZ is a DLC parody of zombie games mostly DayZ. You could play as originally intended as a zombie goat. You get a meter that keeps track of days. Although you can swap out to being a regular goat skin that makes you immune. You also gotta deal with zombies with the most interesting ones being zombies with paper bags on their heads.

This is obviously the darkest among all the maps. There is a little bit of a learning curve. Goat Simulator: PAYDAY is a crossover DLC that parodies many things including that franchise. Which I actually never played prior no really I haven't. Not only you play as the goat. You also get three additional animal characters to play as.

My favorite being Dolph Spaghetti whose an dolphin in a wheel chair. I do also like Valentino Salami whose a flamingo that flies. You have to go to a machine to get some challenges. Oh I'm sorry they're called pranks in this map. You also get some pranks from people around the map. I do like what they attempted to do with this crossover.

Goat Simulator: Waste of Space is ridiculous!!! It heavily parodies sci-fi with a lot of huge name franchises included. You actually get to explore the moon with some vehicles. This was even crazier than Fallout: New Vegas' Old World Blues. Which also mostly occurred on the moon. This was the only one to change how to get some of the collectibles.

Goat Simulator: Goat City Bay was a fun map. Some of absolute favorite jokes were presented here. I really wasn't expecting a parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!! I also loved there's an amusement park. I usually love seeing em within video games for a long time. It's one of the more interesting maps I felt.

Goat Simulator: Buck to School is an interesting one because it came from the mobile version. Which also means it has the smallest map. Despite that, you can bet this still a truly fun one. If you went in knowing it came from a mobile version. Quickly throw that out the window here. You get to explore an school map that isn't boring at all.

It kinda reminded me of another game, Bully. The fact the smallest map had such an impact on me. You know this is way better than you possibly ever imagine. I save my personal favorite for last. The most unique of an experience this has to offer. Even more than GoatZ for that matter. Goat MMO Simulator is a true master piece.

You could even say because how different it is from the other maps. It could be seen as it's own game. It's a parody of Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games aka MMORPG for short. Every single time you start it up. The game randomly generates an username. Don't worry your process is saved.

This is by far the biggest map the game has to offer. You can get a lot of quests as you explore. You also can quickly fully level up your goat. Also when you start up, you can choose which class you wanna play as. Every zone really felt like their own maps rather than being sections within one insane map.

I also felt the funniest jokes I notice were here as well. Like find Bilbo the Dwarf to throw him into lava. This is parodying The Lord of the Rings as well as it's prequel story The Hobbit. This quickly felt the most creative among all of them. Not to say the others were uninspired. In fact the exact opposite with some great ideas.

Let's put it this way, Goat Simulator: Remastered is way better than Saints Row reboot game. No really somehow this greatly made up for how that reboot game made me felt. Achievement/trophy hunting wise, it's an 9.5 experience. In all honestly, one of the most fun I ever had achievement hunting a game in a long time.

If it isn't obvious by now, this really never was meant to be taken seriously. Goat Simulator: Remastered goes way beyond what you might expect. It isn't about doing the usual goat stuff. Although that said stuff get parodied a lot in this. You will notice some mess up animations the longer you play this.

You can drive a lot of vehicles that do differ between the maps. You also can unlock additional skins that gets weirder. I really do mean quite weird to the point for a handful of them. I almost can't seem to find the right letters to say. You get a very great variety of skins that all do different abilities.

Some of those skins are actually different animals lol. You even can play as a whale they had to been on drugs. You still haven't heard the best feature for this remastered game. You can now swap every skin you have available across every map. This means you can play any skins meant for a particular map in any of them now.

This really opens up the possibilities within the game play. Other aspects of the game play that's meant to help you find your way around does differ a bit. Some are notably a little easier than others to follow. This really felt like it had something for everyone. This is among my favorite remastered sandbox games hands down!!!

It's notably better than Batman: Return to Arkham. Which I previously played both remastered Batman games through Game Pass. Personally this isn't quite the best remaster I played this year. It's among the finest I did play though. Goat Simulator: Remastered is a game filled with the right stuff to keep fun for a lot of hours.

The other best part is there's nothing additional to buy either. You literately get everything including DLCS from the PC version. This is as close to the definitive version of the game you're going to get. I may not requested this remastered game. I'm sure glad I finally gave it a chance. Parts of this reminded me of Postal series just not as offensive as well as disgusting.

Goat Simulator: Remastered fully made use of every map including the hidden sections. Saints Row reboot failed to do that including the newer map sections added in. I simply love you can be truly creative when achievement hunting or completing challenges. Even having chaos is truly a lot of fun as well.

This has to be among the most ridiculous goat characters I ever heard of. You get all of this for a great price or play it through Game Pass like me for cheaper. Regardless which route you go, Goat Simulator: Remastered is one hell of a party pun very intended lol. This is among the most surprising 2024 games I played this year.

Pray for Death (1996)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, last year my brother bought me stuff on Steam for my birthday. Within the same purchase is Pray for Death. Not to be confused with a movie of the same name. I previously done a few playthroughs prior to this review. A few months ago, The Worst Fighting it's an web show. Where this YouTuber covers the worst fighting games with many other things to keep it interesting.

Pray for Death (1996)

This game often gets compared to Mortal Kombat series. But it's actually more similar to Killer Instinct series. You can tell by some of the animations as well as some of the art work is clearly inspired by that series. Even a particular character, Maelstrom fights very similar to Killer Instinct's Fulgore. The actual story is directly similar to a few not great fighting games.

Almost the entire roster wants to challenge Death to become immortal. This is directly the plot of Time Killers aka first labeled MK rip off. Personally screw both games go play Eternal Champions. If you can get your hands on the sequel/updated version on Sega CD that's even better. Not to mention, Death is the final boss in both games.

Not a lot of people knows in Time Killer's famous bad Genesis port. There does exist a way to play as Death. You have a similar method to play as Death in Pray of Death. Ultimately in either Eternal Champions game, you are fighting for the opportunity to live again. Sadly the conclusion to that concept got scrapped.

Indirectly the concept similar to Shadow: War of Succession. Most of the roster going after the position for the next Shadow King. The previous Shadow King got transformed into a cyborg. What's kinda amusing is Anubi basically Anubis in this game. Surprisingly War Gods by a few months predates Anubis in a fighting game here.

There's a few hidden characters mostly the bosses. They aren't anything special with Death having voice overs. I'll give them credit he actually looks like the Grim Reaper. Unlike Death in Time Killers seriously what is that? It's kinda like Dracula in Castlevania 2 where he looked more like the Grim Reaper than Death does.

Pray for Death can differ on the controls, I played two different methods. Originally the famous keyboard method that took some time getting use to. It's easy to get confuse what the buttons do. The later method with a controller is the one I recommend most. There's a decent amount of characters to play as. I do like before every match begins.

The characters says stuff towards each other. A little better than Shaq Fu still not great. Once in a blue moon you might be surprise what's written. It's a classic fighting game set up with a ladder. You fight through the entire roster to face Death. There are finishers that are mostly alright. It's technically better than a lot of MK rip offs.

The audio for the most part isn't great. A few sound effects ends up being the best of them. The difficulty will spike to a degree. If you play the game on too easy of a difficulty. The game refuses to give you an ending. I'm just glad they didn't do what TMNT: Tournament Fighters on Sega Genesis done.

I really don't like playing an fighting game with little to no endings on hardest difficulty. I can say most of the roster does have endings. I think the biggest surprise to me maybe to a lot of people. It's obvious the elephant in the room. You actually can play as Cthulhu!!! Yeah a fighting game from the 90s you play as Cthulhu.

The stages are mostly meh easily could've been a little better. It hurts worst when you start comparing it to Killer Instinct. Even Killer Instinct Gold on Nintendo 64 had a lot more going for it. I personally enjoy playing that game through Rare Replay. Pray for Death isn't an rememberable experience. Especially considering it to The Black Heart let's not even compare the two.

Also regarding the Grim Reaper in video games. He isn't rememberable like Gregg the Grim Reaper in Conker's Bad Fur Day. Even reapers in Vampire Survivors worked better. They lack voice overs as well as dialogues. I will say his lines are better than Death in Time Killers the Arcade version at least. Even considering their endings, it's not even close!!!

Pray for Death may be better than some similar 90s fighting games. But in all honestly that's not saying much. You got to realize some fighting franchises back in the 90s were quickly becoming big. Some of which are high selling fighting game franchises today. This game got buried just like three cartoon shows tried competing with The Simpsons to end up getting buried themselves.

There really isn't much to like about the actual game. If they didn't focus on mimicking Killer Instinct's style. Instead went with their own fighting system. Then I felt this game would've been a little better. It's far from the bottom of the barrel fighting games wise. It's beneath the middle of them with plenty of better fighting games you could be playing right now.

The closest positive thing I could say it's on GOG as well. GOG does notably better with older PC games especially DOS ones. On both services outlasted Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport. Technically that's a good thing considering that was notably worst than this. Despite an unplayable guest character being Barney the Dinosaur still within the files.

Pray for Death is an repetitive fighting game of the 90s era. You should expect to lose a lot before you finally finish an run. I can't recommend playing it longer than a few minutes. A modded version with the right stuff could bring this game back to life. In terms of recommendations stick with Eternal Champions series minus the spin offs you'll be fine.

BATS: Bloodsucker Anti-Terror Squad (2021)

Unrelated I do also plan to review Varney Lake and Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York soon. I may have to revisit them to help me prepare those reviews. I rather give them more respect doing that. I will also attempt going for a different ending in Varney Lake as well. I honestly can't wait to talk about either vampire game soon.

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently bought six vampire games from my amazing wife. This might be difficult to believe, I already play through one of them. Which so happens to be the vampire game I'm going to review today. I learned of it's existence within a few months. I still felt I need more vampire games that may never change.

My recent GOG vampire games purchase

1. BATS: Bloodsucker Anti-Terror Squad

2. BloodNet (2 versions)

3. Veil of Darkness

4. Rogue Lords

5. Vampires Dawn 3 - The Crimson Realm

6. Vampyr

I also wanted to say Vampyr in particular I kept a close eye on for years. I just finally gotten the golden opportunity to get it. Sometimes you gotta be willing to wait a few years maybe longer to get games with everything at a much cheaper price. Obviously most of this vampire purchase is notably longer games than BATS: Bloodsucker Anti-Terror Squad.

BATS: Bloodsucker Anti-Terror Squad (2021)

The story involves Count Bloodvayne going to rescue members of his vampire unit from Scorpion. No not Mortal Kombat character or Spider-Man villain. Although either of them in this could've work honestly. There's five stages that does offer some variety. I probably should tell you expect to die a lot. Thankfully you get as many chances you want to get through the game.

Each stage has multiple sections filled with enemies as well as hazards. You gotta adapt quickly or you won't get far. The game's difficulty spikes very often to the point it's not fair at times. For example you have two enemies running towards you. You can only take one of them out if you remain on the ground. Ideally you should try to jump over both of them.

From there you should quickly take em out before you take a hit. I should also mention this is playing a joke of the game being based on an animated TV show that never was. Which I kinda like concepts similar to that to a degree. I actually felt in the audio department it's good enough to get the job done. Easily the art work itself is my favorite aspect of the game.

They sure don't hold back being violent in this. You even see enemies get killed by hazards with some brutal death animations. Which is among my favorite stuff about the game. The bosses are notably repetitive as well as a bit unfair at times. It's one of those games, the main antagonist the solo boss character.

In this case, Scorpion takes a play book from Sonic's Dr. Robotnik. He actually has a particular boss fight somewhat similar to his original boss fight all the way back to Sonic 1. I will say the boss fights are better than the boss fights in Duke Nukem 1. To me, it felt like only Dr. Robotnik made the concept work.

Some of the dialogue you can tell they had some fun making this. Parts of it has self awareness with some jokes thrown in. We aren't going to compare this to UnMetal, it's not even close. I will say the bat character is a little more cute than expected. This bat also acts as a power up until you take a hit. Some of the routes you are force to take within these stages can be frustrating to get through.

I will be honest parts of those actually tougher as well as more intense than most boss fights in this game. I'm not even why so many deaths I died from a single hit. Last I checked I wasn't playing Contra. Also let's not even begin to compare this to either Contra or Metal Slug. The later I'm a much bigger fan of myself.

It's kinda amusing to get shutters to open. You simply find the computer then destroy em. Geez vampires may differ in how long they been around for. You would expect they have the knowledge to hack an computer or simply pull the cord from the wall. Instead they are so impatient to get through. They have to directly destroy computers.

I'm glad this isn't a heavy key item game. Although some of those FPS wise are truly amazing games. Which in all honestly I rather be playing those instead. This is by no means a bad game. It's kinda more of a gem than anything else. There's just enough good you may find some enjoyment in it. The flaws actually makes it difficult to keep on playing.

There's other modes like Speed Run Mode and Boss Rush Mode. I have a few major problems since I didn't try those out. Speed Run Mode is rushing through the game. Now if the game wasn't so strict about everything. I would've considered giving this variation of the game a try. Boss Rush Mode can differ depending on games.

Either they can surprisingly fun or a frustrating challenge. In this case, it's obvious a rather unforgiving challenge. I rather do an boss rush in UnMetal than this!!! The only major thing left to discuss are the five playable characters. You start with Count Bloodvayne basically Dracula in this. His name likely a reference to Dr. Van Helsing just not in the way you expect.

It's also a possible reference to another vampire series, BloodRayne. I actually felt he's among the best characters in the game. I do respect all of them plays notably differ from each other. I do have a clear favorite among them. Sergeant Sabre kinda reminds me of Marvel's Blade mixed with Star Wars' Lando.

He is armed with a sword that quickly cuts through enemies. I actually felt he's the best set up among the playable characters. To me, Rick Ghastley actually the worst among them. Ideally you should love the guy with an shotgun. But the way his shotgun works is too flawed. You have to manually reload your gun.

Also it's even easier to not fire a shot in time. Not to mention, the brief period of reloading could be a death sentence in several spots too. I could argue how the other four playable characters are better. I also do like at the end of most stages, you can choose which character to unlock. Personally I absolutely loved that with a huge passion.

I really didn't want to play through the entire game multiple times to unlock everyone. Even if I had to Renfield: Bring Your Own Blood is way more worth it. I know it's strange the good guys actually the vampires. Which that twist by itself caught my attention. I also should point out, all of them has a different Vamp Power aka their specials.

Some of them activates automatically or others like Mitzie's you have to do manually. Although using her Vamp Power in the wrong areas can harm and kill her. Which is kinda amusing since she has wings!!! I rather had the ability to fly for a short period of time. I also liked whoever you play as has different lines within cutscenes.

This is a touch I am glad they went for. It does help differ the experience enough to maybe play through the game more than once. For an indie vampire game it's a little interesting than expected. I don't think it's a good place to start. Especially if you want to get more into vampire games. I will say for what it is you should consider giving it a try.

What it does well is truly amazing stuff. The challenge is a bit unforgiving at times. At the same time, parts of finishing the stages felt like a real achievement. There's some secrets if you know how to go about em. I do like they allow exploring for the most part. A few sections you are rushed to through. Otherwise if you can overlook the difficulty curve it's a fun vampire game.
