MARVEL SNAP

- Reviewed on Mobile -

MARVEL SNAP released on October 18th, 2022. 

With a lot of buzz and promotion for this free mobile game, MARVEL SNAP is a multiplayer, card-based, strategy game that depicts two players against each other for power superiority. 

Containing dozens upon dozens of unlockable cards, variants, and customization, MARVEL SNAP has quickly become one of my all-time favorite mobile games (as of writing this blog post)!

This review WILL have Major Spoilers so keep that in mind before continuing...

The overall objective in MARVEL SNAP is to overcome your opponent by gaining the most power out of the three randomized locations. 

Every time you play a match in MARVEL SNAP, the locations reveal themselves after the first three turns occur. 

Just like the actual playing cards in MARVEL SNAP, the locations are all MARVEL related, having locations be familiar to various heroes and villains' stories. 

For example, you may come across the Daily Bugle or even Fisk Tower. All locations in MARVEL SNAP have a specific effect to them.

These effects can either help or harm your chances of winning, so pay attention and don't overlook them!

The cards you collect and play with, in MARVEL SNAP, are (as stated earlier) all heroes and villains from the MARVEL universe. 

There are simply way too many cards to list here, but you will come across very famous heroes / villains like Iron Man and Venom, and even low-level tier heroes / villains too that you may never have heard of (I definitely experienced this). 

All cards also have one of three ability types. These are On Reveal, Ongoing, and / or No Ability. 

Combining different ability types and certain cards (decks) and seeing what wins is half the fun!

As you play matches and win (or lose) you will gain a variety of currencies. 

The main currency in MARVEL SNAP is called Credits. 

Credits have two main uses (as of writing this blog post), one being upgrading your cards appearance when you gain enough boosters (upgrade points), and also purchasing immediate upgrades for three randomized cards in a specified time limit. 

Another currency is Gold where you can buy rotating variants (daily offers), exchange for credits, or even buy limited time bundles (containing avatars, boosters, etc.). 

When you get stronger and get higher in the Collection Levels, you will soon unlock the final currency, this being Tokens.

Once you gain tokens, the Token Shop opens, and you can purchase cards from past and present series.

You can also lock a card from this shop so you can save and purchase it later, if you really want it. 

The case for this feature is that tokens aren't as common as Credits or Gold and are pretty rare when reaching certain accomplishments. 

Avatars are also rare if you aren't willing to pay real money for this feature. You can unlock avatars free of charge, but it is a random draw. 

Titles are also unlockables that give you a phrase underneath your avatar and player name. 

The options on the main menu are (as of writing this blog post)...

    - Shop
    - Collection
    - Main
    - Game Modes
    - News

You can additionally view your rank on the main menu and even see current season pass achievements / prizes for you to earn and win cubes to collect. 

When you SNAP during a match, you will either win additional cubes or lose them if it backfires. 

Making a deck is absolutely mandatory, and with the plethora of cards you collect and their specific powers per card, the combinations are truly endless!

Pros: 

    - Endless Combinations
    - Free Game with Plenty of Features
    - Great Music, Voices, and Other Sound Effects
    - Nice Graphics
    - Not Pay to Win
    - Good Longevity

Cons:

    - Expensive Bundles / In-Game Purchases (at Times)

My Rating for MARVEL SNAP (on Mobile):

5 / 5

PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC

- Reviewed on  Switch  - PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC released on August 25th, 2022.  One of the most famous video game characters, Pac-Man, originally had his very first Pac-Man World adventure, way back in 1999. I actually own the original version, and tried it here and there, but never had the ambition to actually, fully dive, into this adventure, platformer title. And now, on my favorite console, (as of writing this blog post), I did have the ambition to play it, and boy was I an idiot for not ever playing the original beforehand! With hardly any frame rate drops, hardly any visual or audio glitches, and easy to understand (master) controls, this platformer was so, incredibly fun, and actually a platformer I may return to in the future, for another go! This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... The game starts with a cutscene of Pac-Man's friends and family, preparing for Pac-Man's 20th Anniversary. However, as with many Pa...

Super Mario Party Jamboree

- Reviewed on  Switch  - Super Mario Party Jamboree released on October 17th, 2024.  With dozens, upon dozens of Mario Party games, across all generations of Nintendo systems, this latest installment in the illustrious Mario Party series, is an award nominated party game, well worth the time of any and all Mario fans. It's no secret that Mario titles, especially on Nintendo Switch, have mouthwatering graphics. Super Mario Party Jamboree is no different! This game is incredibly polished, the music is incredible as usual, however, I do have a problem with the Mario Party mode, minigames. Nonetheless, Super Mario Party Jamboree combines all the great aspects of Mario Party, into this one title. Making this installment in the series, the biggest and most enjoyable one yet (in my opinion)! This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... Mario Party is one of my highlights of the Nintendo gaming calendar.  Whenever a new Mari...

60 Seconds! Reatomized

- Reviewed on  Switch  - 60 Seconds! Reatomized released on July 25th, 2019. Made by Polish based studio, Robot Gentleman, 60 Seconds! Reatomized is a heavily strategized, independent game, that caught my eye from the plethora of videos made on it. The replayability of this game is near infinite, with anyone and everyone having different playthroughs and scenarios. Your actions, choices, and stories constantly affect one another, resulting in flexible gameplay and playthroughs that could last over an hour, or even less than five minutes. This review WILL have  Major Spoilers  so keep that in mind before continuing... Developed in the Unity game engine, 60 Seconds! Reatomized is actually a remaster of the original title.  This is great for newcomers such as myself, as we can experience the updated graphics, additional game modes, and various endings the game has to offer, right from the beginning! The main plot of 60 Seconds! Reatomized is about a family, co...
