Another game I was quite excited to finally get to play was the long awaited (mostly because I had been following its development) Galak-Z. I really liked Skulls of the Shogun (from the same studio), and knew that this game would have a fantastic visual sense (which it does), but it’s also a joy to see that it’s a satisfying game to play as well. I won’t lie, at first I thought I wouldn’t get through the first of 5 episodes, but by continuing to play and learning how to control my ship properly, and how to be cautious around enemies, I did eventually start getting better. It’s still a bit more punishing that I’d like – I wish you could replenish your life more often between missions – but I’m willing to persevere and see if I can actually get much further.
