You know how it is: Some games are good, some are bad, and some are too weird or embarrassing to ever admit to playing. This year saw its fair share of freaks and oddballs. You’ve probably played at least one — they’re kind of hard to forget.
Zeno Clash II launched back in 2013, and wasn't nearly as respected as the original title. Ahead of the reboot, is it worth revisiting?
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
LocoCycle is really messed up in the head.
The NES Remix announcement was definitely weird to me. It felt like Nintendo wanted to make an "official" version of I Wanna Be the Guy and other freeware games that reused sprites.
Thanks for submitting this Tolkoto! Getting tired of the endless hordes of shooter games and wasn't sure what to look into. Hitting steam up right now, Zeno Clash 2 looks like a gem.
