Marvel’s Spider-Man

Last year in 2018 Sony Interactive Entertainment released Marvel’s Spider-Man, a single-player action game. Now Spider-Man was already done before as a video game, but since there is so much content and love for anything involving Spider-Man there was no surprise that another game was made.

Once again you are in the wonderful and busy Manhattan in New York City. The main enemy this time is Fisk but don’t forget about other enemies like robbers, gang members, and surprisingly demons. Some other classic enemies will appear in the game. Electro, Vulture, Rhino, Scorpion, and Doctor Octopus might also make an appearance. This time though you are not on your own. You get some backup from Mary Jane and some of the NYPD. You also get to meet Miles Morals, before he also gets spider abilities, and become friends with him.

Fighting enemies is not the only fun thing to do in Manhattan. There are side missions and collectibles that you can find all over, there are tokens, backpacks, JJJ archives, audio recordings, newspapers, and secret photo ops. You also have so many different spidey suits you can unlock and each suit can give Spider-Man different skills and abilities.

The most amazing part of the game, in my opinion, is the new and improved web slinging mechanics. Now the web slinging is so much smoother and easier to control. You also get to see the more acrobatic side of Spider-Man during the web slinging with all the flips and tricks he does.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is only available for Playstation 4.

Greedfall

Greedfall is a brand new game that came out on September 19th developed by Spiders. It is an action role-playing game to its core with a 17th century-styled fantasy setting, emphasizing on freedom in both character development and how you proceed through the word.

After starting the game, making your De Sardet character, choosing your style of fighting, and learning about the world and the countries you and some of your team travels to a newly-settled island of Teer Fradee. Help your cousin work with the other countries that settled on the island and the natives all while trying to find a cure for the deadly plague, the malichor, that is killing your people. The countries there are the Bridge Alliance, known for science, the Theleme, known for religion, and Congregation of Merchants, which you are a part of.

Meet the members of your party. There is Kurt, Aphra, Petrus, Siora, and Vasco. Kurt is yours and your cousins weapons master and taught you how to fight. Aphra is a renowned naturalist scientist you meet on Teer Fradee and also a citizen of the Bridge Alliance. Petrus is a skilled fighter, diplomat, and missionary of Theleme you meet on Teer Fradee. Siora is a Teer Freadee native and a daughter to Queen Bladnid, a leader of a native clan. Lastly Vasco is a seafaring Naut and the captain of the ship that brought you and your cousin to Teer Freadee.

When you play Greedfall you might get a feeling that the developers of Spiders got influenced by the Dragon Age series while making the game. In my opinion that is not a bad thing at all. I loved playing Dragon Age and Greedfall is very different than Dragon Age so there is no problems with any possible copyrighting.

Greedfall is available on the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and the PC.

Borderlands 3

Borderlands 3 is a new game that was just released last month. It is the 3rd game in the Borderlands trilogy that was created by Gearbox Software.

In this game, just like the others, you get to play as one of the 4 new vault hunters. There is Zane, Amara, Moze, and FL4K. You’re not the only one fighting though. This time in Borderlands your friends can join you on multiplayer to create some mayhem against the Children of the Vault (COV). 

Personally I like to play as Amara the Siren because you get to have abilities that can ground slam, do a ranged projection attack, or even phaselock an enemy for a short time.

The main story for this game, with NO ending spoilers, is that the Crimson Raiders need help to fight against a new cult known as the Children of the Vault and also open new vaults before the COV does.

Along the way you also get to meet up with some new friends and even old Crimson Raiders. Some you’ll see are Claptrap, Maya, Tiny Tina (now known as Tina), Hammerlock, Lilith, Brick, Mordecai, and more.

There are also new maps and by new maps I mean whole new worlds you get to travel to in the Sanctuary Spaceship. There is of course Pandora, which is the desert planet, but there is also a backwater swampland planet called Eden-6, a tranquil monk style planet called Athens, and also the home of the Atlas Corporation planet called Promethea.

I love playing Borderlands 3 and if you want to play as well it is available for the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and also PC.
