'Save Your Nuts' Is Hilarious

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

In the current state of the world, multiplayer games and party games are some of the most important games. They don't only give us the chance to game, but it allows us to play with the ones with love, all whole distancing. But what's even better than a normal multiplayer game? A competitive multiplayer game.


Save Your Nuts is a new party game where the goal is simple, get the nuts into the goal and score more than the other team. This game is played with adorable animals, each cuter than the last. There are also multiple power ups that can be used, all of which make you have the upper hand.



Although the single player gameplay of Save Your Nuts is amazing, I think the multiplayer aspect to it right now is just incredible. I find the competitive spirit is exactly what games nights with friends need. The general vibe of this game is insanely relaxing, but does have that little bit of adrenaline you need.

I highly recommend this game for people that are looking for that sense of connection in this difficult time. Save Your Nuts is a really fun game, and you would be able to play a single round, or even spend all night playing it and it would never get boring. And for the mere price of $22 AUD with a playable free demo, you'd be making a huge mistake not picking up this game.

What is your favourite party game? Comment below! And a huge shoutout to Triple Scale Games for giving me codes for this game on both Xbox and Switch, I really appreciate it and it was equally amazing on both consoles!

The 'Ori' Series, A True Journey

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

Some of the most amazing games in existence really tug at the heart strings. In fact, I think emotional aspects can truly make or break any game. I for one am really drawn to games if they make me feel something, even deep down.


Ori and The Blind Forest is an adorable, yet touching game where the main character, Ori, gets lost in a storm in a forest. The main focus of the game is to find your way through The Blind Forest in order to find the elements of the forest itself. This is all done through multiple different power ups and very exact movements in a metroidvania/ platformer style.



I found Ori and The Blind Forest very whimsical and magical because every time you come to a new area, it gets even more visually pleasing. The soundtrack is also a huge highlight as it is pretty light, but highly affective. I also adore how there are so many touching, beautiful moments, which makes all the difficulty of beating the levels all the more worth it.


The sequel to Ori and The Blind Forest, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a new entry to the Ori franchise that has just come out. With a familiar feeling, with refreshing aspects, this game is an even bigger open world where you need to scale more challenges than ever, all while visiting some new, amazing areas. Friendship is intended to be a huge part of this game, and it really shows.


One thing I really appreciate about this new entry to the franchise in the new concept of having customisation in it. Not only is there now a hub world, but it is customisable the more you progress in the game. Like the first game, you learn a variety of new moves that can help you get past areas that you can easily come back to at any time. The soundtrack is also somehow even more beautiful than ever.


I think anybody could enjoy the Ori series. Not only is it brilliant, yet challenging, but I find it is really the kind of game that constantly tugs at our heart strings and makes you want to keep going until it is completed. I really look forward to the possibilities that could come next in this franchise, and I believe everyone should at least give this game a fair try. I'll be playing it from now until we see a new entry to the series eventually.

What is a game that has taken you on an emotional journey? Comment down below! Also a huge thank you to Xbox for sending me a review copy of Ori and the Will of the Wisps! I really appreciate the opportunity and I'm really grateful! 

Have a nice day!

'Rainbows, Toilets and Unicorns', is Adorably Quirky

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

Making retro styled games is such a trend these days, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. There's so many retro styled games that are more than just a clone of another game, but they have refreshing new concepts to it. That brings us to today's game, Rainbows, Toilets and Unicorns.


Rainbows, Toilets and Unicorns is a vertical shooter with a really retro vibe. There are 5 worlds with 5 levels, each of which have boss encounters. There are many thematical aspects such as religion, politics and Disney, all of which are all adorable. The enemies are quite similar in each world, but the bosses are all reasonably challenging and fun to battle.



I find this game really quirky and adorable. It has cute graphics, fun music, and has a lot of replayability, as it is not an insanely long game. The themes make this game more enjoyable the more you progress from world to world, I personally really loved the viral star world.


I recommend this game for anyone that loves a retro feeling game with refreshing new concepts. It is a bargain when you consider how much genuine, light hearted fun you can have whilst playing it. It's simply one of those games that you can play in one sitting and see it as time well spent.

What is your favourite retro styled game? Comment down below! And a huge thank you to Fantastico Studios for giving me a copy of this game on Switch to review! It's really appreciated and I thoroughly enjoyed the game!

Have a nice day!

'Metropolis: Lux Obscura' is Epic

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

Puzzle games are the foundation of which many amazing games are built from. Bejweled, Tetris, you name it, there's so many amazing ones to name. But, what if you could take the beloved genre of puzzle games, and make it a little bit dirty?

 

Metropolis: Lux Obscura is a a comic styled puzzle matching game where you explore a corupt city filled with crime and many dirty aspects. The matching puzzle aspect of the game is always against other NPCs in a turn-based battle. 



The graphics of this game are really well done, making it seem as though you are just experience an adult comic. This is really well complimented by the intense gameplay, where you can go from winning to almost being destroyed at any moment. I also really love the soundtrack as it makes Metropolis: Lux Obscura have a really epic vibe to it.


I recommend this game for adult gamers that are looking for what could be considered a hidden gem. I found myself playing this full game in one sitting, and I really think it's a nice, yet risque spin on the "match 3" puzzle format. And best of all, it is super cheap on all consoles it is on. So, grab yourself a digital copy, and enjoy. 

What is your favourite puzzle game? Comment down below! And also, a huge thank you to Sometimes You for allowing me to review this game, it's a really solid game and I'll be replaying it again very soon!

Have a nice day!

'Breeder Homegrown', Pixels Done Right

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

Pixel games are one of those things that can really either be amazing, or just okay. With every month, there is more pixel games added to all game libraries. But sometimes, you find a game that really impressed you, and you find yourself eating your own words after saying "pixel games? No thanks."


Breeder Homegrown is a pixel horror game where you investigate a monster in the garden than has been harassing the main character for a long time. You walk around the house, looking for various clues to help you along the way. All of this is while you follow a simple, yet tedious challenge, don't get caught.



The graphics for this game are really well done, and really high quality for a pixel game. I also think the soundtrack is a really huge highlight of the game, and it makes you want to keep going back and playing it again. The game can be really short if you want to rush through it, but if you like to look at each and every aspect of a place like me, you will be enjoying this game for many hours.


I highly recommend this game for horror fans and pixel game fans alike. The story, without giving away anything, is truly gripping, and I already find myself wanting to go back to it and play again. I also really appreciate how charming and just minimalistic, yet visually appealing this game is with it's Earthbound-esque vibe. I highly suggest anyone and everyone gets their hands on this game.

Have a nice day!

'Animal Crossing: New Horizons', A Front Runner For Game of the Year!?!

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

So, simulation games are a huge genre, especially nowadays. Not only are some of the most popular games simulations of some kind, but they also tend to be some of the most beautiful, creative games that are released all year round. The more unique the game is, the better.


Animal Crossing, as a series in general, is one of the most unique life simulation games where you get to meet so many adorable villagers and do all kinds of tasks for them, but the new entry in the series is simply breathtaking. New Horizons is the first Animal Crossing entry in years, and has been welcomed to the Nintendo Switch with open arms. Not only is their new villagers, as always, but with the introduction of not only hemispheres, but the addition of your main world being your own personal deserted island, the Animal Crossing series is better than ever.


Upon playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons the day after release, I immediately lost hours in real life in the best way possible. Suddenly my mind had been whiped of all the terrible things happening in our world, and I was able to just relax and just feel complete and utter bliss. I feel the graphics in this game are more stunning than ever, and some of the new things (which I won't spoil) make this absolute masterpiece well worth getting.


I believe this game could be for nearly anyone. Between all the daily tasks, and addictive decorating and collecting, it is really made for a variety of different types of players. The second you start, you find out who your first two villagers are, and what your native fruit is, which is insanely exciting. I can truly say this game is a front runner for game of the year.

Have a nice day!

'Battlesloths' is What I Didn't Know I Needed

Multiplayer games are a huge part of the foundation gaming. They allow us to really connect and enjoy something we love as a team, or against each other. There are so many different types of multiplayer games, not many of which have quite as unique of a concept as today's game.


Battlesloths is a multiplayer shooter where you are a sloth and you need to fight other sloths, whether they are other players or AI, to get slices of pizza throughout the map. There are 15 different weapons and 900 hats to customize your sloth. The graphics of Battlesloths are retro, but the concept is new and refreshing.



The gameplay of Battlesloths is amazing in itself, but alongside the soundtrack, it is truly enhanced. The soundtrack really makes you feel pumped and motivated to win. The arsenal of different weapons also makes you plan ahead with what kind of strategy you will use. The longer I played Battlesloths for, the longer I couldn't help but be pulled away from the game, it's kind of addictive.


I recommend this game for those who need a fun game that could be played at parties with friends, with pizza of course. It really quickly feels like a party game, and I really think anyone can learn how to play it. The more you play, the better you get.

What is a multiplayer game you love? Comment down below! And a huge shout out to the incredible folks at Invisible Collective for giving me the opportunity to play and review this game. I really appreciate it! 

Have a nice day!
