Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition

GOTY

daora um jogo bom com boa dublagem e otimo para matar o tempo

Never got to play this game on Xbox One back when it came out but it looked similiar to Sunset Overdrive so gave it a shot. Objectively, this is probably not the best game out there in terms of many things however this is an extremely fun game for someone like me. The graphics and audio design are fine for the 2013 period (Though I did find the menu sounds to be really similiar to Injustice 1). There are many bugs and glitches you may encounter in the game and whilst hunting for achievements which defintely sours the experience a tad bit. The soundtrack is actually pretty good and fits thematically with the game, whereas the sound design is actually even better as it enhances the games enjoyment massively with dynamic SFX, cheesy one-liners, exaggerated hits and isnanely loud slaughter noises. Visually the cutscenes look decent but the goofy gorey style of the game makes it better. The story is defintely not the main aspect of this game, if you were to rush the main story not including the side quests you can beat the game in a few hours. The story follows a very linear plotline but I was surpirised to find out that the game allowed for very limited player choice (a mission where you can pick an approach, multiple endings, etc). The main character Nick is a good character but like with a lot of the other characters within the game, they do not get much time for development and we don't know/find out enough about them to care. This makes sense given the game takes place in the timespan of one week but even when there are interesting character moments, it's mostly presented in exposition. The gameplay however undercuts everything else and is probably the sole reason to play this game. It's the most enjoyable aspect of the game that got me to 100% a game with some of the most gridniest achievemtns I've ever seen. It is smooth zombie killing fun that you would expect from a game like this and the unique combo-crafting sytem definetely seperates the game from other similiar titles. The wacky Psycho boss fights, the side missions, survivors, PP trials and survival challenges all add a variety of gameplay modifiers to the game so that you have other things to do aside from the main storyline. The level progression in the game is surpirsingly quite rewarding, the skill tree and crafting recipes are well balanced and upon maxing them out, you do feel great satisfaction as the new skills you unlock allow you to undercut many of the limits placed upon you from start of the game to near God status. All in all, the gameplay loop alone made it managable to grind out 340,000+ zombie kills, so 9/10 great sandbox zombie action game.
