Peaky Blinders: Mastermind vs Rayman Adventures
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a game that puts you into the shoes of the Shelby crime family as they try to exert their influence and strengthen their grip on their turf. The game is split into several story-driven “missions” featuring time manipulation elements where the goal is to sync up the actions of every member in the group to accomplish the mission objectives. These missions will also allow you to play several members of the Shelby family from Tommy himself to the youngest, Finn.The gameplay here lets you play around with time, making sure that you sync up the actions and movement of the characters you control in each mission just so they could complete the mission as flawlessly and within the shortest time possible. Basically, instead of Tommy, YOU will be acting as the mastermind for the Shelbys in this game!
To make this possible, the game has a timeline bar at the bottom of the game where you control whether time moves forwards or back, much like the forward and rewind button on a tape recorder. While time is moving forward, you can get your characters to do a variety of actions, depending on their specialty. For instance, Tommy has the power of persuasion, allowing you to take temporary control of a persuaded NPC to open doors, pick up certain items, or pull otherwise inaccessible levers for the Shelbys.
Each mission comes with its own episodic mini-stories that you can enjoy. These stories aren’t linked to the TV series, naturally, since the series is already in its 5th season, and this game is set in its first.
In a nutshell, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a fan-service game that really made its mark. The gameplay is incredibly fun and strategic, and for those perfectionists, a challenging game to get a perfect run on. Plus, as fans of the TV series, it’s a real treat to be able to enjoy some new storylines, albeit short and being set in the first season of the show, that you have some measure of control over… you know, due to being the mastermind and all.
Rayman Adventures
Rayman Adventures is fun adventure-based platformer game by Ubisoft set in a fictional yet magical world where a crisis had just broken out. Apparently, the Incrediballs’ eggs that power the sacred tree as well as the fluffy Incrediballs themselves have been scattered across the land and it is now up to Rayman (controlled by you, of course) to set off on an adventure to seek them out and bring them all home. The gameplay in Rayman Adventures consist of a nice mix of fast-paced action and exploration, supplemented by the powers of the Incrediballs whom you have decided to bring along and aided with smooth and responsive controls. These Incrediballs are like pets in this game as well, so there are some caring that you'll need to do, such as feeding and playing with them. Eggs you've collected will also help your sacred tree to grow and the height of your tree is the indicator that the game uses to pit you against the other players on the leaderboard and to determine your rank.Rayman Adventure is part of Ubisoft's biggest casual franchise (aside from possibly its horse game that is) and as such, the game's quality is paramount. Unlike many other games though, this is something that this game has managed to achieve many times over. So, if platformers are your thing, this is a game you won't want to miss out. Try it now!
