'Spirit Roots', Spookily Adorable

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

For as long as I can remember, platformers have been one of the biggest genres in gaming. There are new and amazing platformers more often than I can tell, and it's by far one of the most exciting things. More importantly, not only do platforms get released all the time, but they just get increasingly more amazing every time. 

Spirits Roots is a platformer with an artistic style that is inspired by the amazing film Coraline. The story follows a whole star system that has for the most part, been deatroyed. This leaves them with multiple pieces of various planets, so they stitch all of the planets together into one planet, which then gets split by the antagonsists. The adorable protagonist needs to save the planet by getting through the 50 areas which are on 5 different parts of the broken planet.

The music in Spirit Roots is stunning and so fitting. I both enjoyed listening to it during my plathrough and I also really want to somehow grab the soundtrack for my general playlist. I also really appreciate the level of difficulty during the level progression, which is really well complimented by the sheet beauty of the world's themselves. It took me roughly 5 hours to beat the game on Switch, which was equally as amazing graphic-wise as the PC version.

This game is the kind of gaming that I think anyone can enjoy and lose themself in. Whether it's on Steam or Nintendo Switch, for the cheap price or $10.50AUD (Switch) or $6.96AUD (Steam), it would be a huge mistake not to buy it! How could you not buy it with the beautiful art style?

What is your favourite part of platformers? Comment down below! And also, a huge thank you to the publishers of Spirit Roots and Breathing Fear, Drageus Games S.A for sending me the codes for both Switch and Steam for this game! And also a huge thank you to Forward games for developing such an incredible game! I really appreciate it and I really loved the game!

Have a nice day!

'The Adventures of Elena Temple: Definitive Edition', The Addition We Needed

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

DLC and expansions are such an important part of modern gaming. Not only can they make an already amazing game reach the next level, but it can also end up being the best part of the game. I'm always extremely excited when games I love bring out more content to lose yourself in.

The Adventures of Elena Temple is an incredible game with a nostalgic vibe that I was lucky enough to receive a code for from the developer GrimTalin to play and review, and now they're back with with a bigger and better experience they were nice enough to provide me with. The Adventures of Elena Temple: Definitive Edition is that little push that the original game needed to go from awesome, to simply amazing. The additional dungeons really add to the game to the game in the best way, but my personal favourite new parts of the game is the game modifiers. These add a really great thing to an already spectacular game, but it still keeps the nostalgic feeling that comes with playing it. And just like the basic version of the game, I really love the way it is showcased on retro console screens, it's such a nice touch that I appreciate so much.

When I played the original game, I played for a solid 5 hours in my first two days, this time I played that much in one as I was so excited to revisit the game and see what was new. I simply couldn't put it down. Everything about the game is just such an amazing sense of nostalgia, as if you're having gamer deja Vu, but in reality you're experiencing something that's just as amazing as all our favourite retro games.

At the price point of $4.99 if you are buying the game as a whole, or 99 cents if you just need to upgrade, you really can't go wrong with this game. It's addictive, but not so addictive that you get annoyed when you can't finish a level instantly. I think all ages and demographics could enjoy this game as much as I can. It is already a really underrated game, just by how amazing it is. So do yourself a huge favour, go buy your copy of The Adventures of Elena Temple on December 24th on Nintendo Switch, and on later dates on both Xbox One and PC.

What is your favourite nostalgic game? Comment down below! And another huge thank you to GrimTalin for reaching out offering a code and letting me play and review the game, it is always appreciated! 

Have a nice day!

'The Outer Worlds' Is Perfection

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer! 

2019 has definitely been a year for amazing new games. Not only have we been lucky enough to have some amazing story driven games, but we've also had some games that are insanely beautiful. On the contrary of this, we have had some games that are both stunning and have deep, insane stories.

The Outer Worlds is a fantastic action RPG brought you you by Obsidian Entertainment, created with Unreal Engine and published by Private Division. You get to explore a visually stunning planet where you will come across all kinds of enemies, allies and challenges. The whole game is player-driven which is a really nice touch for sure. Plus there is all kinds of adorable and marvelous creatures that can be found. 

The combat in this game is extremely challenging if you don't play a lot of action games, but I found myself really quickly catching onto it. This is all complimented really well but some of the amazing sceneries and even more so by the spectacular voice acting. The cherry on top, of course, goes to the story which is explored in such depth that you can feel everything as it happens. There is also a really decent amount of customization features for the protagonist which is again, a really nice touch that I appreciate. This game is truly mind blowing and honestly, I dare say it is the perfect game.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a new, intense, and wonderful adventure in a whole new world. I think it is the kind of game that will gain a huge following very quickly. I also want to say the biggest, warmest, sincerest thank you to Private Division who was lovely enough to provide me with a code for this game which allowed me to do this review. It is highly appreciated.

'Breathing Fear', The Nightmare Needed

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

The Nintendo Switch has continuously had games added to its catalog that are have been both hidden gems, or larger than life installments to our favourite series. Not only have I loved the huge games, but I always love the smaller games, and I will always support them when they come along. Today's game is no exception.

Breathing Fear is about an runaway convict via a house in a forest where you need to try to escape. Multiple things in the house spook the convict out, causing his heart rate to go up, and if his heart rate goes all the way up to 70, he will die. The only way to avoid dying is by collect batteries to regenerate and lower your heart rate, and also use a number of different items.

Backtracking is a crucial part of Breathing Fear, but this isn't really a negative thing, as you can out your memory to the test, the really challenge is trying not to physically write down what to do and where to go. This game is quite difficult, but not exactly a long game, but it has 5 endings which is my favourite part of any game.

I highly recommend this game for those that like simplistic, yet challenging games, but can also live through a jump scare or two on the process. I found this game really beautiful in a simple way, and I could see myself playing it again very soon, and I think it would be a mistake not to play it for the small $7.50 at full price that it is. I was lucky enough to get this game for free on Switch, but I had been considering it anyway, so I really appreciate getting it from the publishers, Drageus Games, thanks guys!

'Ghost Grab 3000'. Adorable, Yet Awesome.

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Steam is such a gigantic part of the modern gaming industry. Not only does it have one of the widest varities of games, but it also has the largest number of hidden gems you could possibly find. Whether you're into cute games, simulators, or even epic adventure games, there is something for everyone on steam.

Ghost Grab 3000 is an adorable new game on Steam that is all about humanity basically bring erased, leaving only souls present which you have to destroy them through the method of chaining. The controllers can be quite basic, but at the same time it integrates the possibility of using your keyboard and mouse, your Xbox controller, or even your PlayStation controller.

Not only is this game a pretty epic experience, but the style is adorable, making it very appealing to a really wide audience. The music in this game is also super simplistic, but also really infectious in the best way, it truly suits this game perfectly.

I think this game is perfect for the people that love retro styled game, in terms of both graphics and music. This game is great for both hardcore and new gamers alike and I believe anyone could enjoy it. I also want to thank the amazing developer for the code for this game, I really appreciate it!
