The Rockstar's well-awaited game gem of the year on PS4 (Yeah, I feel your pain PC gamers) The game has an enormous open world in which you are very free to roam, hunt, and do other million things Rockstar put in there (you can have a pet horse and you can hunt animals or play poker all day who cares??).

See ya guys stick around ThatGameEffect for more articles...

Celeste : A lot More Than Just A Puzzle Mountain Climber

Firstly, sorry it's been some time since the last article about games... cause I have been playing games..(I love games can't control it and you know it cause you do it too)... so moving one Celeste is a game I recently finished (not entirely 100%) which is developed and published by Matt Make games (The Guys who made TowerFall).. the game released in January this year ( yeah I played it way late okay?)... and it received a lot's of praise for its design and story (I mean game has 10/10 on steam and 9/10 on Metacritic and ratings didn't go below 8/10 on anything... which is Surprising in 2018).
So I decided to give it a go... I am blown away by it, to be honest... and if you haven't played it please play it you won't regret it... it has something for all kind of gamers challenges, deep storytelling, unique gameplay you name it...so if you want to know more about it keep on reading...

The Story {minor spoilers ahead}

The Story of Celeste starts when our protagonist Madeline (You can change the name if you want) arrives at the Celeste mountain with the decision to climb the mountain and meets our first NPC of the game who lives on the mountain granny (she a bit mysterious kind of person) she warns Madeline and questions her decision to climb the mountain tells her that she may see things on the mountain she is not to see.

But Madeline ignores her and keep on going... Madeline keep climbing the mountain and reaches a camp where she meets another fellow climber Theo who is there for selfies? and tourism I guess (you remember that friend who posts a lot of stuff and pics he's that guy) and you take a selfie and talk a little about him and yourself revealing some of your past.

Then Madeline has a dream in which she proceeds into the mountain and finds a mirror from which a spirit like something escapes and we also get another glimpse of what happened in the past to her.

Later... Madeline found out that spirit who claims to be a part of her which escapes and Madeline realizes that Celeste is no ordinary mountain it has strange powers.

Then as the story continues you meet another and I think last NPC Mr.Oshiro who runs Celeste resort on the mount Celeste which hardly has any visitors and he got excited to see you and tries to keep you in the resort... but that's not how it ends.

Then we keep on climbing the mount Celeste and meet the NPC's again on the way reveal some more background about them... when Madeline reaches near the summit things get bad and she hit rock bottom (Sorry can't reveal major stuff don't want to ruin your suspense) then she rises up again and with little help climbs the mountain again and reaches the mountain and then she bakes a pie for everyone with the strawberries she collected along the way.

A year later she gets a call from granny that she found a cave and Madeline arrives again at the mountain to explore the secrets of the cave (can't tell you the secrets cause I don't know them either).

That's the complete story of Celeste minus the major spoilers... the great thing about Celeste is its storyline handles topics which are very hard to tackle and even hard to take on with a game like this...kind of platformer game yet developers beautifully weaved them into the game.. and those topics are Depression, Self-esteem, Inner demons and social media etc... it's amazing how they tackled the topic in between the storyline..you will be amazed too.

10 Indie Games you must play

Gameplay {hard but not unbeatable}

So the gameplay is a big part of Celeste and you will realize as soon as you start playing it... it's tough as nails but not too much you have to navigate Madeline through a series of traps and puzzles to complete the chapter seems easy enough right?... well let's say it is an easier said than done type situation... they get harder as you progress through the level.. you can die when you touch any of the spikes and game will reset to the start of that section which basically starts at the bottom of that room only thankfully (because you are going to die a lot).

Madeline can perform a midair dash like hollow night and grab and climb on to a wall for a certain period of time before stamina runs out... will also gain a second dash later in the game but till then you have only one to use on everything... the dash can be only used once and must be reset by standing on ground or hitting objects like dash crystals etc.

There's a lot more than just traps and puzzles as all chapters also feature a certain amount of strawberries to collect which require you to really push it as a strawberries count collected only if you hit the solid ground after collecting them they change the ending based on the number of strawberries you collected throughout the whole game (I m sure they also have some achievements for those things too).

There's also a number of other things hidden throughout the levels like blue hearts which unlock post-game content and a tape with unlocks Side B of the chapters which are kind of tougher version of the the chapters (cause originals weren't challenging enough) and if you really push the limit's when you complete all side B levels Side C of chapters got unlocked which is tougher but shorter version of chapters.

And if you are thinking don't you get bored by all this answer is nope cause they push things after each chapter by adding new and additional mechanics...so no getting bored in this game that's for sure.

That's all about the gameplay of Celeste.

7 Video Games Series You Must Play In Your Life..Once

Games have been around for two or three decades now and in that time there are some franchises which are so awesome they will always have a place in our hearts because of their stories combat or the experience they provided which was amazing that's why they all become so special to all of us
So here are 7 of those Gems who live in our hearts.

Everything We Know About Anthem

1.Batman Arkham Series

So, when we talk about games series of all time which delivered excellence Batman Arkham series is the best example for all of us the franchise was released in 2009 which it's first game, Batman: Arkham Asylum since then the game has taken all the gamers across many platforms by storm as it's combat system and awesome feeling of being Batman and Detective gameplay is amazing and got better with each game and they really knocked it out of the park when they released Batman: Arkham Knight which made everyone say wow that's awesome and these guys also got the sound of the Batman right (it's the best Batman voice ever) and finally given the Batman the awesomeness he 

2.Mass Effect Series

Before BioWare sold it's soul to EA there's something which is known as video game sci-fi masterpiece which is the Mass Effect Trilogy which has Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 and is recognized as one of most awesome games ever made which provided the gamers the experience of their childhood star trek dream i.e being a commander in the outer space which has it's own ship and embarks on a mission to save the galaxy.

so the Mass Effect Trilogy is the story of the Commander Shepard the commander of the ship Normandy ( yeah it sounds like food item ) in which you partner up with aliens of different races and places to play third-person shooter which bad alien guys who you will shoot without thinking twice that's and stop the mighty Reapers (A superior alien race who want to conquer it all) from eating the whole galaxy by forming an alliance of some other superior alien races and discovering the artifacts of Prometheans which is another superior ancient alien race wiped by the reapers.

The story is one of the highlights of the Mass Effect Trilogy so I recommend for a great experience it's a must play and now let's talk about Mass Effect Andromeda (Let's not go there it's not as epic as Trilogy) the latest installment in the Mass Effect series come with a lot's of changes and even more bugs so as it's different from the Masterpiece Trilogy let's leave it here.

Awesome Adventures of captain spirit: Review

3.Devil May Cry Series

This series was first started off as a resident evil sequel but it was so awesome and loved by fan they had to make it into a whole new Franchise DMC always been a very successful franchise and also a very popular among all the gamers.

The DMC is the story of Dante a half human half demon who have real sibling issues as for two games he fought his own brother without considering that there are demons who want to kill them both ( And He's Really Chilled About it  ).

The first game was released in 2001 and from then its become star in the beating demons with swords and guns genre which is really awesome and now as Devil may cry 5 is coming you can beat demons in more realistic graphics the game have some rules use guns, use guns and finish the game in 20 missions that's enough to nail every game they made let's hope DMC5 will be as awesome as previous games as they pick up the story of Nero from DMC 4.

FarCry 5 another awesome open world experience

4.Resident Evil Series

Now we pass from what born of resident evil i.e DMC now let's talk about resident evil series in itself it's one of the most awesome shoot zombies in the face series ( Well most of it haven't you heard of Resi 4 ?? ).

The resident evil itself started out as a sequel to Silent Hill series which was named sweet home it first made its debut in 1996 and from it has become Capcom's best-selling game franchise and they made lot's of money out of it and now that it's Resident Evil 7 Biohazard is out and it's one of the best horror games you should play it think it's a series you should try out for once in your life it won't disappoint you.

5.Grand Theft Auto Series

The series which by far one of most famous and awesome of all time in which you can roam around an open world and murder people until the police come and kill you and you can walk out the hospital like that never happened yes I am talking about grand theft auto series it's everyone's favorite murder people simulator.

The Grand Theft Auto series is old as it was first released in 1997 at that till GTA 2 the game was a top-down 2D murder action game then they made it into 3D and created Grand theft auto 3 which most people don't remember then come out every child's childhood legend GTA Vice City which easily becomes very popular among kids and the market after some time they launched GTA San-Andreas which added ton of new features like flying planes and stuff.

Then came GTA IV which again no one remembered until GTA V came along a masterpiece so awesome it broken all the previous records and made the unbeatable new ones so this is a game series you must play cause fun of murdering people is increasing as GTA VI not available yet and is set for 2022 you can definitely try out one of these games you won't regret it.

5 Reasons Why you should Play Alien Isolation

6.Assassin's Creed Series

No, I haven't forgotten one of the most stealthy and kill that historical guy simulator yeah I am talking about Assassin's Creed Series The game was first released in 2007 and it was really a different approach than other stealth or open world games which caught everyone's eye they fell in love with the game then they launched Assassin's Creed II which was set in Italy and starred Leonardo Da Vinci it's a beautiful story made Ezio Auditore Da Firenze one most loved game character.

the story of Assassin's Creed os Simple but not easy so there was a master race before humans which got wiped by a solar storm and then humans came.

They were so intelligent to calculate everything that will happen in the future and left clues in forms of temples and artifacts.

Then after humans are born there were assassin's and there's templars assassin's are the people who support the idea of free will fight the Templars so they don't get their hands on artifacts and messages were left for them by ancient civilizations and Templars are guys who believe if they can control everyone there will be peace in the world.

In the modern day, they created a machine ( Animus ) which allows people to live their ancestors DNA and that's how we play the game going back to history both Assassin's and Templars use the machine so they can discover artifacts and secrets of previous civilization.

Series have a great story open worlds which make it a definite play for anyone ( I mean you can walk in Ancient Egypt on a Camel in Assassin's Creed Origins What more historical you want ?? ) and all the people you assassinate in the game are dead at  the same place and in the same time in history cool isn't it ??... go and try out one of the game at least in your life ( If You Haven't Already ).

Assassin's Creed Origins Best Game Yet ??

7.The Witcher Series

This is one of most appreciated and awarded game series in the video game history as The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is awarded as the game of the year from many platforms and also named as one of the greatest game of all time ( Why wouldn't they... it is one of the greatest game of all time ).

The first installment of the game series was released in 2007 it didn't look so great then but it was good and a little more complex ( we are talking 2007 here and CD Project Red was also new ).

The game becomes radically better when it's sequel The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings was Released and it's storytelling and gameplay amused everyone and got praised.

Then CD Project Red Completed their most awesome and ambitious project yet the open world of the Witcher world and they completed it as we can see and thanks to them we got a masterpiece like Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The Story Of Witcher Series Follows the main protagonist Geralt of Rivia who is a witcher by profession ( he kills monsters for money ) at the start of the first game his memory is wiped and he remembers nothing from his past.

 the world of witcher series is set in a place known as the continent a which is on war the world is as realistic as it is fictional there's plenty of racists and executions and hatred can be seen only because of the different races and the effects of war can be seen easily on the citizens.

as a witcher, you also get lot's of it so the storytelling of the Witcher series is amazing as you choose the dialogues and choose how the story will move forward.

At the end of the Witcher 2, Geralt of Rivia get's memory back and he embarks on his journey to find his long-lost lover Yenifer of Vengerberg who then he takes on the greatest contract of his life i.e to find Ciri his adopted daughter and heir to the throne of the Nilfguard.

The Witcher series awesome narration of storytelling and gameplay makes it one of the must play series of all time.

10 Sequels Which took Franchise to A Whole New Level

That's All For Today guys tell me should I make part two of this ?? and vote your favorite game series in the comments winners will be on part two.

Everything We Know About Anthem

So, for those who don't know about Anthem, Anthem is upcoming Online multiplayer action role-playing video game which is being developed by Bioware ( the guys behind dragon age and mass effect franchise ) and published by EA ( everyone knows these guys ) the game will be released on 22 February 2019 ( well, That's a long time away ) on platforms Xbox One, Windows, and PlayStation 4. Players will take on the role of a freelancer who's a part of the group of people who left them civilization to explore places around them ( Tourists with guns guys ).

so there's not much of a story which is revealed yet so we have to wait to learn what's story is going to be till then let's move on to the best highlight of the game That's Gameplay.

Gameplay

So the gameplay is the main highlight of the game the developers really created something good as it mixes up third-person shooter with action RPG elements in an open yet incomplete contiguous open world which you can share with up to three other players in which they take up the role of freelancers with fully customisable alien iron man suits which are called javelins which have 4 classes Ranger,, Colossus, Interceptor, and Storm.
The Ranger is an all balanced Javelin whereas Colossus a heavy duty juggernaut javelin as shown at E3 2018 and we don't know much about other two types of javelins players can build relationships with NPCs but they can't have any romantic relationships with them as it was in previous BioWare games.
The game features both Single play and co-operative multiplayer elements in a shared world that can have up to 4 players in the same team you can explore together with your friends and explore ruins and fight ruthless creatures and also experiencing world changing incidents like shaper storms.

Now some bonus information about Anthem

So, here's bonus information from the developers about the basic questions asked about the game and let's start... yes, all the players in the same team can have the same type of javelins (it's not like overwatch no one type per team thing ) but the team with similar types of javelins may face disadvantages at sometimes in game.

You can have more than one type of javelins in your pocket which means you are not forced to have one type of javelin for the whole game you can change them whenever you want as you will unlock more type of javelins as you will progress further in the story you can also build your own iron man suit collection yay!!.

The main difference in shape and sizes in the classes of javelins is that some weapons are can't be used by some types of javelins so you obviously can't use a mortar as a ranger otherwise it becomes too heavy and you unable fly or something like that so it's for good.

You can customize the javelins as much as you did cars in need for speed you can now do with javelins in Anthem which is really cool.

Another relief is there will be no loot boxes and no pay for the power you can earn your vanity items they also have purchase-able but you can also earn them isn't that awesome no cash grabs.

you will be able to upgrade you, human pilot, too and upgrade their abilities except you can't put a rocket launcher on them that's just for the suits.

The jets will generate heat and you need to find a way to cool it down by walking and turn them off or going underwater or through waterfalls.

Speaking of underwater there's a breath meter little water is good for jets too much will cause problems plus there's no combat underwater for now so there's not much to do underwater.

The game world is designed to have a Co-op experience in combat and a more personal story in your hub so you will complete story in your hub and explore with friends out in the world.

There's going to be a cipher an artificial human intelligence Jarvis in your Javelin ( So Ironman and awesome ).

There's no PvP at the launch they may add it later on which is good as it helps to focus on main exploring quests and stuff with friends.

One of many highlights of the main game world is it's left incomplete by its gods so it opens the door for developers to change the world as we progress in the game world so they may open new areas and stories whiles some surprises appear in the previously explored locations.

Strongholds in which you find enemies are going to be hard and not easy to complete so that breaks the thinking of Anthem is easy and is all about flying here and there and have fun which is too easy.

another great news is there will be no SEASONS PASS which is a amazing news as many good games hide stuff behind these season passes which make forbid a friend to play with others so now all of you friends will experience all the new stuff together no content wall is going to be there.

The lastly the dedicated servers will be used for everything outside the single player hub so you'll get to see same day/night cycle, weather, and events which keeps the whole group on the same track of progress.

So that's all we know about the upcoming game Anthem ( Yet )so like, follow, share or pin ThatGameEffect so all games will get themselves ready for the Anthems release then you guys play together that's and if we get to know more about Anthem you will find it in our news section. See you Around Gamers Adios...

The gameplay is going to feel very different from the previous game because there are many changes to the gameplay, gameworld, and game engine.

let's talk about gameplay first the game is still about racing so there's a lot that's for sure and you play as an unnamed protagonist who is coming for zero to become superstar ( You know basic to start from zero racing stuff ) but now they kind of stepped it up what it means to be a racing video game as you will not race with cars and bikes only but also with pro racing cars, planes, and boats with is divided as land, water, and air.

The player will be able to switch between these playstyles instantly and each of the different vehicles, whether it's land, water or air, has it's own physics and playstyles so there's nothing which you going to be bored of as the controls of all game vehicles are accessible but " Hard to master ".

Now let's talk about gameworld the game is set in an open world which is kinda necessary and you get to free roam in a scaled down version of United States which contains four hubs which player will be able to choose and stay in as it's never compulsory to play missions or go to game hubs you don't like ( they really want players to enjoy themselves ) which includes pro racing, freestyle, off-road and street racing.

Like it's predecessor the game will be highly focused on multiplayer and it also has a cooperative multiplayer mode which allows players to play different rally raid events together and you can also do those with an artificial intelligence. 

Now finally let's talk about game engine well they did some changes as those were necessary because of the whole switch between air, water, and ground controls as when you switch from ground to air the which increases the draw distance of view and they also increased the graphics of the game along with realistic vegetation and atmospheric clouds.

You will be able it play it on your Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Pc from June 29, 2018.

5 Reasons Why You Should Play Alien Isolation

Firstly let me clear something to you and yes it's a pretty old game now...  I don't like horror games because horror games and they creep you out with creepy places and still I tried Alien: Isolation recently hoping I will quit before even something really creepy but what happened really surprised me I kept on playing it on and on.
As I told I am very not a good horror game lover and still, I am writing this which means It's not about the only horror and there are other aspects for why should you play Alien: Isolation.

God Of War 4 best GOW game ever?

1.Story

So first thing in the game you will observe is it's not one of those games which focus on horror more and less on the story instead you will find out a very touching story in the game.

The story is basically of the sequel of the movie alien which was released in 1979 ( If you haven't seen it go see it, it's a classic alien type movie ) strangely first time the sequel of the movie is a game instead of an actual movie.
In the game, you play as the Ellen Ripley daughter of Amanda Ripley who is the protagonist from the 1979 alien movie and the story of game takes place 15 years later the events of the movie in the game Ellen is trying to find her mother who's ship was lost but recently something of it was found and kept at a space station every corner of which you will explore throughout the game so it has a great story and plot of a whole movie sequel which makes it worthy of a shot.

10 Games Worthy Of a Hollywood Movie

2.Graphics

The graphics are one of the highlights of the whole game seriously the graphics of the game with respect to when it came out is really impressive it all feels so awesome and real all that smoke you can see it as roam around the space station and beautifully designed corridors of it.

until you see enemies or an alien and start running like a child who has no idea where to go and die 9/10 times after getting caught and the alien has also seemed so real and shiny which makes it more terrific cause it's an alien it's there terrify you so good job mister alien you done it very well.

7 Games You Wish May Never Finish

3.Environment

As The game takes place on a space station the environment you are going to see it apartments, dinner places, corridors and vent pipes of the rooms of the space station as you have to walk, sneak, hide and crawl through it.

which really makes it feels like a good movie and you can also see your feet while running and hands in which you hold detectors and weapons the environments are really cool and yet not that scary they actually kind of calm in the initial phase of the game and you really enjoy pulling switches and powering up stuff even it's kind of creepy and haunting but it just doesn't feel like it.

the graphics and sounds really make it feel natural you really feel being inside a movie sequel so it's another great thing about the game.

4.Gameplay

It's another main feature of the game as the gameplay makes or breaks the game and they really designed it to make you feel you what you are living inside of a big space station floating in the outer space overrun with aliens and people who are just trying to survive.
It's a first-person game which only makes the game more intense and thrilling as you have to run, hide and kill various types of antagonists like survivors who are trying survive in the station, androids cause you can't make an alien movie which takes place in outer space without starring androids in it ( it's kinda outer space trend or something ), and everyone's favorite the unkillable ( Seriously that thing doesn't die it just run away into vents ) hunter alien who kinda love to eat and kill everyone.
As the protagonist get hold of many types of weapons like a gun, a shotgun, and bolt gun etc. the game seriously wants you to be sacred so the reduced the ammo to the minimum so you will starve with fear as you use lockers to hide from the antagonists using vents and lockers.
The gameplay overall gives you an experience which you will never forget for quite some time and also get the benefit of playing a game and watching a sequel at the same time.

Far Cry 5 Awesome Experience

5.Adventure

So now you kinda know what the gaming experience going to be like which is quite awesome and the game itself is just more than simple horror game it's a thriller movie which is also a sequel to a previous alien movie.

When you able to finish the campaign mode you can try out survival mode in which you have to complete objectives without getting caught and one of very highlighting thing about the alien in the game is it doesn't just walk anywhere or in a defined route it detects sound and follow your trail and adapt to your hiding pattern.

The detector can be used to know the location of the moving alien but it will also attract the alien towards so it's also a risk to even check where it is overall it's a really good experience and you should try it in VR for more awesome experience you won't regret it and the game it all about experience it's not some made up rubbish and it also delivers a great experience which you always wanted from an alien movie or fantasy of living inside a sequel of alien space station movie.
