The post Creatures of Ava Review appeared first on GamersHeroes.

]]> When a game’s story really hits you, it hits those feels that stay with you long after you finish. I hate talking about it, I hate reviewing it. It stirs the emotions back to the surface. Whether it be a happy or sad ending to the story, it’s finished, it’s over. Those characters have lived their lives, the world taken its course, that’s it.

That’s very much how I feel about Creatures of Ava. While the game is not without problems, the story reminded of me of why these games are so important.

Creatures of Ava Review

When developers aren’t pressured to chase AAA juggernaut success, and can instead just tell a passionate and meaningful story, that’s when video games stand apart as the greatest entertainment medium on the planet.

Following Vic’s adventures through the world of Ava as she fights to save its creatures and the natives from a planetwide infection called The Withering is an experience that will remain with you long after you finish the game.

It’s a story of human heart, passion, and our constant drive to fix our mistakes, to right our wrongs, even if we still don’t truly understand the world around us.

The world of Ava is beautiful, captivating in places, and filled with charm and character. Exploring across the different biomes, Jungle, Desert, Swamp, and Grasslands, is an enjoyable and worthwhile endeavor, hampered only by the bizarre decision to cut slices of the world away through story progress.

While each area is unique in the creatures and puzzles Vic faces, exploration incentives remain the same throughout. Permanent Upgrades in the form of increased health, stamina, and backpack capacity, and various collectibles and photography opportunities to learn more about the world of Ava and the creatures that call it home.

During the early hours of the game, I really enjoyed exploring the Grasslands region. Saving the creatures, finding the permanent upgrades and lore collectibles, taking snaps of the creatures to fill out my Avapedia. I felt like I was running around as Spyro in a world of Pokémon Snap.

All of which quickly became a chore when the game’s multiple pivotal story moments forced me to cut off parts of the world, never to return.

This point of no return conundrum is one faced in many games over the years, but typically in the final moments of the game. Having several, in a game that runs about 18 hours, felt very oppressive.

It all makes sense from a narrative perspective, and the story is easily the game’s most defining aspect. However, constantly being faced with the choice of finding items I’ll never have the opportunity to find again, or following the heart of the story, felt contradictory to the game’s empathic nature.

Part of that decision-making process was made easier by the rather disappointing impact of the upgrades. The increased health, stamina, and backpack capacity was nice, sure, but you can get through the entire game without much of it.

Couple that with the fact that you need to invest skill points, alongside finding the collectible items, and it became all too easy just to ignore them entirely.

Thankfully, the rest of the skill tree was more impactful, albeit difficult to complete if you don’t spend the time completing areas fully before progressing.

Various upgrades improve Vic’s ability to craft items, tame creatures, and solve puzzles, but much of it still felt unnecessary.

I couldn’t help but feel much of the time dedicated to these systems could have been better spent on the game’s namesake, the creatures of Ava.

Each region is home to a variety of unique, colorful, and gorgeous creatures that Ava can interact with. During my adventures, I encountered 21 unique species, each as mesmerizing and intriguing as the last.

Each creature makes sense, feels like it belongs, and has a real impact on Vic’s progression. Although, as the hours passed, the initial awe and that fuzzy feeling you get when you pet something cute, was replaced by mechanical understanding and expectation.

Once tamed, Ava is able to connect with these creatures, controlling them for a short time and gaining access to their Co-Op Ability.

These abilities are just additional skills to solve puzzles, making the creatures feel more like tools than living, breathing entities. Using creatures to navigate pathways Ava is unable to use, breaking down walls and pillars, moving heavy boulders, it synergizes perfectly with the environment, and learning how these skills behave early in the game was really rewarding.

The puzzles are all very simple, minimal stress, and almost calming and relaxing in places — and this is from someone that absolutely hates puzzles. That said, I would have enjoyed more complexity to some puzzle elements of the game. However, if you’re easily frustrated by puzzles but still enjoy the positive returns of solving one, this is the perfect adventure for you.

That is, sadly, the only purpose the creatures serve. You save enough to complete a region, use some to solve puzzles, and you move on.

At the beginning of my adventure, I was enamored with the opportunity to snap as many images of these gorgeous creatures as I could, only to ultimately leave somewhat disappointed at the lack of unique character and environmental interaction.

Take a snap of one infected with the Withering, take a snap of one not infected, and you’re done with the camera.

Although much of your time is dedicated to exploring and solving puzzles, Creatures of Ava does feature a combat system.

Well, it’s sort of a combat system? You don’t really fight, but you do kinda fight? I’m not really sure what to call it. A pacifying system?

Many of the creatures that inhabit Ava are infected with The Withering, a deadly infection that causes creatures to become aggressive and attack Vic on sight.

In order to tame these creatures to solve puzzles or just get that warm feeling of helping innocent animals, Vic needs to “attack” them with the Nafitar, a ceremonial stick of sorts.

It’s an intriguing extension of the game’s puzzle system, one that works really well. The Nafitar can pacify multiple creatures at once, if you’re able to catch them in its beam. It definitely feels like Vic may have been a Ghostbuster in a previous life.

It’s a balance of trying to tame the creatures in the quickest way possible, while trying to use specific abilities to counter certain creature traits.

For example, certain creatures are infected with an advanced form of The Withering, requiring the use of the Krist ability to break through an additional shield before the Nafitar can begin the taming process.

Other creatures may be incredibly fast, requiring the use of the Ushun ability to briefly levitate them above ground, giving Vic a chance to tame them before the next attack.

While initially skeptical at how challenging or in-depth this system could be, by the end, it was one of the game’s features I enjoyed the most.

There is so much to love about Creatures of Ava. The 2D cinematic scenes are a work of art, the world of Ava beautiful from start to finish, and the puzzles a perfect balance of accessibility and challenge. I just can’t help but feel so much time was spent in areas of the game that really didn’t need it.

Creatures of Ava is a heartwarming love letter to the action adventure games of old. A captivating tale of empathy and reflection, its story will leave you pondering its teaching moments long after the credits roll. This title is pure charm, hampered only by a number of shallow features that feel like they don’t belong.

If you like steam bots and robot pirates - and who doesn't? - pick this one up.

The post SteamWorld Heist 2 Review appeared first on GamersHeroes.

]]> Less than three months after being first shown off, Thunderful’s SteamWorld Heist 2 launches is a pretty quiet month. Should players head out for the Great Sea?

SteamWorld Heist 2 Review

SteamWorld Heist 2 kicks off with players having a skeleton crew and their ship impounded by the Navy – talk about humble beginnings.

However, your crew is deathly loyal, and they help you get your submarine back. While that puts a huge mark on your back from said Navy, you were also planning to steal from them anyway.

You travel the ocean helping out other Steambots by clearing out levels and getting more fresh water. As you progress, you get additional crew members, better ship parts, and even more fame and glory. The ultimate goal? Rally the troops, push back the darkness, and keep the water free from oppression.

The story of this ragtag crew becoming something greater than themselves is certainly a good one, but the real story comes from Captain Leeway. Leeway lost his gun arm, his sub, and his confidence before the start of the game, and you have to help him earn it back.

Being the son of the great Krackenbane, he has a lot to live up to, and that pressure often overwhelms him. Despite this, his crew is adamant that he is the man to lead them. They believed in him, and as a result, I believed in him.

At that point, the rest of SteamWorld Heist 2’s story didn’t matter much to me; it was now all about getting my man his gun arm back and regaining his confidence.

To do this, you take on missions from various areas of the world. Most are quick affairs, with SteamWorld 2 having that “one more run” feeling in spades. Mission types vary, but since the game has “Heist” in the title, one is often stealing loot from someone or something.

On that note, players will have a set amount of turns to get said loot before it disappears. After securing the loot, players will have to fight back to the ship to escape. How one actually gets to the loot is up to you, because this game really lets you play the way you want to play.

For instance, there are no penalties for playing on easy or even quitting a level. Each character starts with a class, but you are highly encouraged to swap their class. In fact, not only is it encouraged, but on higher difficulties, it is mandatory. By switching to other classes, you can then learn the moves from that class.

Let’s say you are a Sniper, but you want to be able to move really far and shoot each time. By swapping into the Flanker class, you can Wheel and Deal, which lets you move twice and then shoot.

As for the combat itself, it’s pretty simple – at least, at first. Every class has their own weapon type and starts with one or two abilities.

For instance, Reapers can kill an enemy and then shoot again because they killed someone. Engineers can put down cover and eventually heal allies as well. Melee charges in, and bashes enemy bots to bits.

It’s a simple system, but depending on your skills, classes, and weapons, you can make some incredible things happen. There is nothing like missing with your sniper only to have the bullet bounce off an icicle, which falls onto an explosive barrel and kills three enemies. Happy accidents, as Bob Ross would say.

When you aren’t scraping bots, you are exploring the overworld in your sub. When you first get it, the sub is bare bones; in fact, it can’t even go underwater. As you progress, though, you get new weapons, engines, and boosts and can go underwater.

You can think of this sub as a separate character from the rest of your crew; it needs to be managed, upgraded and kept safe for you to succeed. The best part is that all you have to do is steer and aim; the guns fire on their own. That might sound annoying, but the contrast between combat and open-world exploration is a welcome one.

Besides, it’s nice just to spin the stick until enemy boats sink.

Between missions, you can also hang out at bars to buy items, recruit new allies, and sometimes even receive missions. The bar is also where you will call it a night to rest up your crew.

After you rest, any missions you complete will reward you with bounty coins that you can spend on items, more water, and other upgrades. Any coins not spent are converted to water, and you are reset to zero each day. It’s just another incentive to grind missions for more loot and EXP.

I didn’t run into any bugs or crashes, but there were a couple of annoyances. When aiming down and to the right, your skill bar will sometimes get in the way. The worst part is that a big box with the skill description pops up and takes up a large chunk of that bottom-right sector.

I don’t know if I missed the prompt to remove the box, but man, it was annoying. You can work around it, but you shouldn’t have to. I also had a pretty jarring difficulty spike at one point. I went back and grinded for a bit, and it was good again, but it hit me like a truck.

Fans of the SteamWorld series will be happy with Heist 2. If you like steam bots and robot pirates – and who doesn’t? – pick this one up.

The post The Star Named EOS Review appeared first on GamersHeroes.

]]> For those with an affinity for rich storytelling, in-depth puzzles, or are just an old-fashioned shutterbug, Silver Lining Studio and PLAYISM’s The Star Named EOS looks to deliver on all these elements in spades. Should players follow the stars, or should the past stay buried?

The Star Named EOS Review

Following the story of Dei, things kick off with a letter and a photo from his adventurous mother. Getting a camera as a birthday present, this photography protégé sets out to take a number of pictures of his own.

Players immerse themselves in its story across different vantage points. The Star Named EOS brings players through a number of different chapters, transporting them to train carriages, lakeside campsites, café’s and other areas.

It’s a slow burn, but The Star Named EOS prides itself on its world building as players get a chance to know Dei and his mother through its approximately two hour tale.

Players are not given the whole story in The Star Named EOS, gradually piecing the overarching story and its intricacies as things progress – sometimes literally. However, The Star Named EOS is a journey well worth taking.

To aid in its immersion, The Star Named EOS gives players free rein over their camera. Players can take pictures of whatever they’d like, but there are a number of points of interest that can be added to Dei’s scrapbook. 

This is a huge plus, as it gives players the chance to appreciate the beauty that can be found in the smaller details of each area. Some pictures are done to move the plot forward and need to be staged just right, but some of The Star Named EOS’ best segments are when players truly live in the here and now.

Puzzle boxes, Morse code segments, and suitcase shenanigans alike also make sure players never get bored. Those that successfully complete each one are then able to unlock an inventory item or other point of interest for players to wrap their head around next. 

There’s a great flow when it comes to The Star Named EOS’ puzzles, and these brain-teasers entertain without overstaying their welcome – even if some require multiple steps and a dash of math.

Rounding things out is a fantastic presentation that blends animation with detailed environments. Paired with its excellent voice work, and you’ve got a polished presentation that leaves a lasting impression.

The Star Named EOS’ world building is at the top of its class, turning the genre on its head with camera in hand. For those willing to piece things together and live in the moment, this title’s mystery – and its many puzzles – are just waiting to be explored.

]]> Announced at the THQ Nordic 2024 Showcase earlier today, smashing and crashing are back on the menu with the release of Bugbear Entertainment’s Wreckfest 2.

Paying host to a completely overhauled physics simulation, Wreckfest 2 will feature a rebuilt engine that fully takes advantage of modern hardware. 

What does this extra horsepower mean? Wreckfest 2 will now feature even higher crash fidelity, a deeper damage and armor system, and more intricate component damage – just the thing to cause massive damage.

No matter what players choose, players will be able to race in intense head-to-head fights on high-speed circuits, face obstacles on crazy courses with jumps, intersections and oncoming traffic, and hit a number of different derby arenas.
