(AfroGamers.com) Ubisoft’s 2012 release Assassin’s Creed III is a title with a mixed reaction and while I typically don’t check impressions on a game until I’ve finished it, ACIII was an interesting case because early on many were annoyed by the game. Now, I tend to enjoy any Assassin’s Creed ...
(AfroGamers.com) A game I often think about are 1990s Cruis’n games from Williams. I knew Williams more from its titles being more arcade-y and typically published by Midway Games. Cruis’n USA and World. At that time Midway was doing very well with some cutting-edge arcade series like Area 51, Mortal ...
(AfroGamers.com) The year was 2020 and one of the games I wasn’t paying attention to was Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater.

Now, this should’ve been an indication of how sales would likely go because of the kinds of games Firaxis puts out. Their titles have a very ...
(AfroGamers.com) ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley is an open-ended RPG and farming sim. However, it could be considered a life sim. I tend to call it a “chill game” and I’ve heard “cozy game” used. I’d say those are fitting because even the combat for the most part isn’t intense but it ...
(AfroGamers.com) My brother and I began playing Diablo IV with season two which was the “Season of Blood” based around Sanctuary being terrorized by vampires. It was pretty much the game’s first proper season following completion of the main game and there being nothing of note to do afterwards. Well, ...
(AfroGamers.com) We’ve taken a dive into murim and cultivation manhwa, so let’s get into a newcomer to the genre in Logging in 10,000 Years in the Future or Level Up in the Future or Apex Future Martial Arts. It’s a series that has different names depending on the scanlation group. ...
(AfroGamers.com) I’ve played the Pokemon games since Pokemon Red. At that time, the monster-catching element was a new experience for someone who had only played two JRPGs at that point.
