August Wrap Up

There are very few DLC's that match or even surpass their original game. One that comes to mind is the Witcher 3 DLCs. Another one is Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.

Tiny Tina puts you into a tabletop (basically D&D) fantasy game where Tina is the host and tells the story. The story had humor, interesting quests, and even some surprising emotional moments. There were a variety of new enemies, weapons, locations. The assets were changed, such as the vending machines, to fit the fantasy setting.

My boyfriend and I also unlocked the fantasy skins so we matched the environment. I was playing Zero with a ghoul skin and he was an elf Maya.

Basically, it's Borderlands 2 as a fantasy game. Really what's not to love about that?

⭐⭐⭐⭐✰

This was chosen for me for the "Challenge Me" event. It's also the first of my long Resident Evil marathon I'm embarking on.

Resident Evil 0 takes place before the first game. You play a S.T.A.R.S agent named Rebecca who is sent to investigate a string of strange murders. Along the way, you team up with an escaped convict named Billy. You can control both characters throughout the game.

There isn't much I liked about this game. I love the Resident Evil franchise overall, but this game can be easily skipped. The fixed camera angles make the gameplay confusing. The inventory space is extremely limited (more than usual) and half of the game is spent trying to switch items between the two players.

There is a loading animation for every…little…thing. Opening doors, climbing, going upstairs, etc. They all have a 5-second animation. It becomes highly annoying when you realize you have to open doors constantly in the game.

The AI for whichever character you aren't playing is incredibly bad. Most of the time I had Billy or Rebecca set on idle so that they wouldn't try to fight and get themselves killed.

The characters aren't memorable and I already forgot the story since it barely connects to the rest of the series. The graphics have been updated from the original, so this may be enjoyable to those who have a nostalgic attachment to it. For someone like me who has never played it though, it's honestly just draining.

I'm still glad it was chosen because I want to play all the Resident Evil games that I got in a bundle long ago.
