So since Nosgoth passed
away and we all sobbed at its graveside for as long as we possibly could (or
still do in some of our cases) paying our respect to our fallen baby, I’ve
tried to find comfort in other games. Sadly for me nothing on the market has
quite matched up to the greatness of Nosgoth and its left me at a complete
loss. I’ve since been dabbling in some co-op games with fellow ex-Nosgothians –
that’s of course in-between screaming to the heavens “why damn you why”.
The below reviews aren’t
full reviews or anything of the sort, they are just first impressions and in
progress thoughts – don’t take them as gospel but I thought they deserved a mention
at this point. Yeah so here’s what co-op games I’ve been playing and my first
impressions on each piece…
Warframe – futuristic bow and pole fighting
elder race – this is fun, this is really really fun, I have kind of fallen for
this one even though at first I was like it looks too shiny, my eyes, I’m
blind. But it’s probably one of my top games at the moment; yeah it’s pretty
enjoyable with its little missions and stuff, and it’s free to play which is
always a bonus.
Zombie
Army Trilogy – Nazi
zombies that want to kill you – at first I was like holy frack and was climbing
on the couch as the zombies were coming to get me, now I’ve got used to it,
it’s a lot easier to focus. It’s fun and gory, the only thing is if you’re limited
on time you just end up playing the same bit over and over.
Resident
Evil: Revelations –
mutant things that want to eat your face – well I haven’t really played on this
one much, it seemed ok from what I played but nothing too special and it’s a
bit clunky. I’ll have to play a bit more at some point to get a better view on
it.
Dead
Island – zombies
trying to kill you whilst you’re at a nice island resort – this one made me
feel like I was going to vom that wasn’t due to the game but rather the first
person perspective. The game was pretty fun from what I had chance to play though.
Skara:
The Blade Remains –
MOBA mayhem – thought I’d give this type of game a play and see what it’s like,
its ok, haven’t really played much because there aren’t many people about which
is a shame…and half the time I have no idea what’s going on. I’ve killed some
bosses and that was alright but I’m waiting for more to be added before I step
back into it.
Hounds:
The Last Hope – more
freaking mutant things that want to eat your face – this was a random find and
playing co-op is great, even though we’ve spent ages as of late trying to
defeat a freaking giant worm. Yeah lots of things jumping out at you, shooting
and stuff, it’s a little clunky to play and it’s a bit old school but it’s really
enjoyable co-op.
Assassins
Creed: Unity –
Assassssssssssssiiiiinnnnnnnsssssssss yeah – I never do very well at these as I
don’t really do stealth all too well, I’m more of a tank. This appears to be
another fun game in the series though, haven’t played too much but from what
I’ve seen I like it – even if I spend half my time screaming “would you fucking
let go of that wall, get down you prat”.
Warhammer:
End Times – Vermintide
– Lots of Skaven trying to take over! – same as above I haven’t played much of
this mainly because the first person and I just got it but from what I played
it was really fun and amusing. I picked the Mage so throwing balls of fire was
entertaining and the rat-ling guns lolz who doesn’t want to face a giant rat
with a gun strapped to its back!
The
Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited –
a MMO game where three factions battle against each other – so I tried to play
this a few times and every time update – server maintenance – update, there
seem to be more updates than game with this! Finally though I started it and damn
it’s brilliant, the character design was great, and the combat stuff and
missions are all good too, it’s definitely up there as one of my top games atm!
Anyway, yeah like I’ve
said these are just my initial thoughts on some gameage and filling the Nosgoth
void, as you can tell I’ve dabbled in a few games trying to find something to
make me happy. If anyone has anything to recommend please shout!
