Ho-ho-ho!
Well hey, has it been another hour already? The Big Day is nearing its
end... but it's not over yet! Have you had your supper? Have you
gorged on roast and potatoes and all sorts of tasty goodies? As you
pick at the plum pie, reach over and grab another gift from 'neath the
tree. It won't be hard to choose; there's not many boxes left.
Well, this box sure is a vibrant orange; I wonder what's inside. Open
it and find out!
* Binary Domain (w/DLC)
https://store.steampowered.com/sub/27824/
When it comes to the gameplay, "Binary Domain" isn't that
special. It's a third-person cover shooter, the sort that
was quite popular in the early 2010s when this game first
released. No, what makes this game special is its art LC8K8
design. Not so much the graphics, but the style; it well
captures the anime aesthetic. Which isn't to say it looks
all cel-shaded and cartoony; no, not at all. But how the
levels look, and the characters, and the robots... it's 8L4HY
quite anime. You get a real "Ghost in the Shell" feel to
the game. If you like that style (and I do!) you'll quite
enjoy this game. And even if you don't, it's still a fun
shooter.5V8IF
The spot under the tree is looking pretty bare now; there are just a
few more games to go. Will one of them be yours? You'll get another
chance in a bit. See you all then!
Ho-ho-ho!
