LEGO Lord of the Rings, Story mode done

Now I have played through whole story mode which means that I have finished 30% from game. That sounds really lame since now I should play same areas through as free player mode, Open all  the possible characters, grind money for to buy everything.. So most likely I play the game every now and then when I have time or interest. A shame that Lego games always follows rather same concept.. Well you know for sure what you're buying but sometimes surprises would be good.

Treants destroys Isengard.

Gollum and his personalities.

Safest path to Moria.

Shelob itself.

Story mode was nice one anyways. Story followed the movies well  enough and there were all the important scenes added to the story (except Tom Bombadil and Old Forest). And it was good to notice that characters gets new things along the journey. When Sam and Frodo became weary, Aragorn instead gained new armor and sword. So yeah.. like it should go.

Rohirrim will aid Gondor.

Elrond advices Aragorn.

Army of the deaths.

Angles of the camera still causes troubles. You can turn camera and try to  see things from better angle but still it ain't as perfect and smoothly running than in some games I have played. So at times loss of coins was more than planned only because I fell constantly at the same spot.  But at least you spawn immediately into same spot you fell so no need to run half of the area again in story mode.

Mount of doom.

The one ring melts.

Sauron itself.

Fall of Sauron.

Videos between areas were looking cool and they were nicely done. Especially short clips about Sauron were nicely done and eye was as threatingly looking than in the movies. And when I think of all the areas there were easy to feel which were safer, which were harder. Of course game is so easy that it won't affect on playing but gives the game better atmosphere than making all the areas to look sunny ones.

Eagles saves the hobbits.

Day of the celebration in Gondor.

King of the Gondor.

Faramir and Eowyn has something going on.

Four little heroes!

So after playing story mode through I can say this is game for those who do not seek much challenges. If you want to play easy game explore areas and follow good story (beforeknown) this is for you. You better not to seek hard or tough places from lego games, except few of the jumping puzzles are annoying  if you haven't get used to play those. So game works for younger ones also sicne there won't be blood. When lego char is killed there is only small pieces of legos which are coins and perhaps one heart. So fun little game and lot of exploreing especially to those who likes to go through same areas an find all the secret spots!

The Wolf Among Us

I have played this through earlier but didn't post about this earlier. But The Wolf Among Us is defintely worth of posting since it was very intensive game. I will explain more what kind of game it was but briefly I can tell you already that it is definetely worth of playing!

You're playing game as being Bigby Wolf.

So The Wolf Among Us is based on the comic books called The Fables. The game and comics tells about the fables who has escaped from their home worlds to live among humans since enemy attacked to their lands. But as you can imagine.. Life isn't easy for a fable among suspicious humans. So they have decided to live in secret hiding their true nature. 

There is five episodes in the game.

Time runs fast when deciding right dialog.

Since The Wolf Among Us is storytelling game you won't decide your character. You play game through as a Bigby Wolf but of course story might change a bit depending what you're deciding to do. You can be empathic or more harsh. Decision is yours and story will be a bit different based to your choices. And I think sometimes I would like to get more time to think through between options. Time runs so fast that at times my Wolf was only quiet when didn't know what to decide from the options. Kind of frustrating for time to time. And problematic for players whose English isn't best possible.

The Beast got angry with me.

The Wolf  is thinking.

Snowhite is important part of the story.

I won't tell much about the plot here since it is best to play through but story isn't the nicest one. It is meant for adults and The Fables are not living happily ever afters. But despite the darkness and desperation what is strong in the game there is still some hope. Well at least my choices gave me some hope and everything didn't end miserably. Even you will play as Bigby there are other important characters helping you like Snowhite. And when you see new fables from the stories it gets interesting to see how they have managed to handle their lives among human. Some are doing fine, some way worse. 

The Wolf Among Us was first storytelling game I have ever played myself. And I wasn't disappointed at all. I am get used to pause game whenever I want to but with this game it wasn't possible so I always needed certain amount of time to play through scenes before saving was possible. And of course you need to replay same discussions if you made wrong decision and wanted to change that.  But I believe that problem is on every storybased game. You can correct me if I am wrong.

If you haven't played The Wolf Among Us I can recommend it. Story is interesting and Bigby looks handsome (girlish opinion). And I prefer game isn't selling itself with nakedness, it is good because it is excellently written.
