We’ve had a few new Potatoes join us lately, so it’s intro time!
Hey, I’m Ruby! Been a gamer since way back—started with a Commodore 64, and that “gamer phase” never ended.
I’m an achievement huntress, mostly on PC and PlayStation. Used to write and record achievement guides, do OG RE speedruns, and challenge runs (like SL1 in Dark Souls). A couple of years ago, I had an accident that led to a brain injury, so my hand-eye coordination is kinda shot now. But hey, I still love gaming, so who cares?
Now, instead of a pro gamer, I’m the Mommy to my Potato Squad (that’s you guys!).
I’m Ace (specifically Aegosexual) and panromantic. You probably followed me after seeing a pic and already have me labeled—fair enough, considering the “link in bio.”
But hey, a good gamer never judges a book by its cover. That’s how you find the hidden loot! 😉
Steam Mastery: Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival
This one is amazing. Stunning to look at, the story pulls you in from the start, and the enemy designs are something else. Combat feels very fluid, with many different approaches. There’s a reason you don’t see many videos of it tho: it’s extremely gory, purposely sexual and often very disturbing.
Steam Mastery #761: Graveyard Keeper 2
At first it felt like a straight upgrade. After 105 hours the little stuff shows up, some QOL here, a bit of speed there. Nothing that would flip you if you liked the first. Devs are already sanding it down as per feedback^^
IMHO, play it!
After looking around online, what I’ve gathered is that a lot of people don’t like how Logan was written in the game.
Fair enough. I thought it was weird and a bit clashing too. He comes off so... emotive? (Sorry, English isn’t my first language. I can’t find a better word.)
In other media he’s usually dark, rough, and gruff. Here he’s more “wholesome,” which is a pretty big departure from how he’s usually portrayed.
I found it odd too, but I just treated it as they wanted to show his soft side under his hairy armor and a way for them to fit him into their story. I get why someone more attached to the classic version would find it annoying.
After all said and done (you'll end up a skeleton!), you have to go into this game accepting that the story is more “modernized.”
If you’re a diehard who wants dark Wolverine, the writing probably won’t be your thing. The gameplay, though, is pretty gruesome. You might find your fun there ^^
Platinum no. 541: Wolverine
Here's my honest review:
I enjoyed it.
It's a story-driven action/adventure game. It's linear, and the gameplay almost feels like a vehicle that gets you from one piece of the story to the next. It's a casual game and it's meant to be played as that. It's not meant to be stressful, quite the opposite. If you come into this game expecting Souls-like boss battles, this isn't for you, and that's fine?
It has a pretty good story in the Earth-1048 universe. Graphically it's very nice to look at, and as I said above, the gameplay isn't too stressful, which might end up feeling boring for anyone looking for a challenge. It's a pretty good game if story-driven games are your thing. It will SUCK BIG TIME if you go in expecting a different game from what it is.
What I am trying to say is that I understand where some of the hate comes from. Sony chose a path not many agree with, and others are so exasperated by the trend of uglifying and forcefully siding with whatever ideology that they will jump at the slightest hint.
That being said, the gaming world is VAST. You aren't meant to enjoy every game. I know Wolverine was a pretty big title, but however big a title is, it will never make everyone happy. This time around, maybe you won't like it. Maybe next time you'll be the one enjoying a game everyone else hates.
Gaming is meant to entertain, but everyone has a different meaning for that word. For example, say one likes big boobs and one likes CBT. They DEFINITELY won't enjoy the same game, and that's absolutely fine XD
Remember: live and let live <3
