Crashlands: Final Game for a developer

"This is the story of Crashlands, a massive 2D action-RPG crafting game I've been working on with my two brothers since I was diagnosed at the ripe age of 23 with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. 

Cancer is a great clarifier. It stripped out all the petty, superfluous aspects of life and demanded just three things when it struck me in 2013: survive, find meaning, and figure out how to look good bald."

Yes I do read y'all comments.  No I don't only review the main stream games, and I do play tons of Indie games. I found one game that I fell in love with by Butterscotch Shenanigans. Well you don't find a story about someone more dedicated to his craft than this one.  Really sad, but Seth made an amazing game with the last bit of life he had.  

Crashlands plays a lot like Don't Starve. It's an open map with single button combat.  Storyline is decent with a bit of wit and irony.  If you read the post by the developer you will learn all the backstory to why the story is what it is. 

There is a lot to do here in Crashlands from over 500 crafting schematics to collect, farming crops, breeding and growing pet/companions in addition to a long game and amazing storyline. It's an rpg, so be prepared to grind to gain items and level up.  

Crashlands is simple nothing complicated.  You get a funny story and great combat. It's sad this is the last game the developers will make bc the lead is dying, but it's a good way to go out like a champ. I give Crashlands a 10/10.  It's no pity, the game is just plain good!

Here is a link to the developers final story:

Mafia 3 the Meaning of Family

"You people speak of family, like you even know what that means. If you really knew what family means, then you wouldn't have fucked with mine!"

-Vito 

Mafia 3 is one title that I am anticipating playing because developers are boasting  about the dynamica of family and evolution of the game mechanics to incorporate their ideas for the game.

In Mafia 3, family means multiple things. The main character of Mafia 3 progresses through the game, he can take down the the Mafia three lieutenants, one of whom is Lincoln, the hero from Mafia 2. 

In a weird sense, these lieutenants become Lincolns new family.  Although this new family has an uneasy aliance, this gives Lincoln the opportunity to build a new crime empire with people loyal to his quest of revenge.   

"You were born into your family.  You never had to go looking for yours, or looking for a place to belong.  You never had to bleed in a jungle while proving your loyalty to your brothers".
