If you thought 2017 was a stale year so far, in many ways, you’re probably right. We’ve seen mostly reboots, remakes, and HD remasters, which eventually became larger disappointments than the original titles they were supposed to help upgrade. Yakuza Kiwami is one of those few that managed to slip through the cracks and somehow show an astounding remake of a PlayStation 2 game that launched back in 2005. It’s a remake that sees only a few subtle changes in regards to the games base visuals, narrative tweaking, and even having been edited enough to make its 80s’ set prequel Yakuza 0 fit in a bit better.
Fans of Left 4 Dead and Warhammer have no doubt spent quite a bit of time bashing the skulls of the Skaven in during endless sessions of Vermintide.

Life is harsh on Mars as the planet is forbidding of modern day life. We know it is a barren planet, one that is unforgiving to those whom seek to explore it, and even more-so unforgiving to those whom wish to live upon it.

To gamers, video games are sacred things, and those that we love are even more scared. It’s not uncommon to find that those gamers also have titles that they have clocked in some insane amounts of game time in. Among my own personal collection, whether received as a game review or not for the team here at Blast Away the Game Review, I have my own personal title to love. I’ve clocked ludicrous amounts into the few games I love and will keep doing so as long as those games work on PC and consoles.
