![]() ![]() Imagine if a new Tony Hawk's game served up tricks but replaced every Ollie and kickflip with increasingly gruesome ways of mangling mutants and you're pretty much there. The genius of Bulletstorm lies with its Skillshots. Beneath, you'll find one of the densest, most detailed, widest branching FPS systems ever devised. On Bulletstorm's surface, you'll find a brash, knowing, don't-give-a-fuck attitude, sitting on a layer of the most gloriously creative cursing you've ever heard in a video game. Never has a game so intelligent tried so hard to look like an idiot, or been so screamingly funny with it. Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch When it comes to sandbox shooters, few do madcap spectacle better than Far Cry 6. And all it took was half a dozen entries. ![]() Better yet? With the introduction of freedom fighter Dani – who you can actually see, listen to and emote alongside in third-person cutscenes – Far Cry has finally given us a protagonist who's actually worth rooting for. New additions like the Supremo Backpacks open up creative new avenues for both sneaky and explosive chaos, further enlivening Far Cry's already intoxicating power fantasy. Yet look past the dinky dachshund sidekicks named after a Spanish sausage and the typically assured, if samey stealth, and you'll find an FPS that feels like a much needed turning point for Far Cry. Does it still lean heavily on a lot of well-worn Ubisoft tropes? Obviously. It may not be the most important game in the series – that nod goes to the iconic third entry – but Far Cry 6 is still a superior shooter. Knowing when there's a glut and when to conserve means staying relatively organized.Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X ![]() You don't want to sell the last of your corn to the church either, or it will be very difficult to get the crop started again, and the animals that also depend on it won't produce. Working to fill these delivery orders rather than selling your last ears of corn to the neighbor who just walked up your driveway, means knowing your inventory. The local church might need ten ears of corn, 2 loaves of bread, and 2 sticks of butter. The more machines produce, the more gold and points a player gets, though most of the gold and points come from making deliveries at the request of the community. This rule goes for the rest of the farm machinery if a player’s bread oven is over by the pond and hidden by trees, it is far less likely the player will notice when the oven has made all the orders of bread and lies dormant. Keeping the soil squares together in a highly visible area will enable players to easily see which crops are ready for harvest and what they have growing. While your child will start the game with a few squares of soil in an already designated area, it will be up to them where they place the next squares. Players are given relatively free reign in designing their farms. ![]() OrganizationĪrranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task. Chickens produce eggs more quickly than cows, and soybeans take longer to grow than wheat and corn, so good time management is needed to ensure there aren't too many gaps in production. Once players move past the tutorial, it is up to them to prioritize certain crops and livestock. But chicken feed takes time to make, as does growing the corn it is comprised of, so it becomes necessary for players to efficiently juggle the subtasks that fall under the larger process of producing eggs for the community. These processes take differing amounts of time if a player wants eggs to sell, they have to wait for chickens to produce them, and they must feed the hens when they are done laying. Players begin the game with a small selection of crops (corn, wheat) and animals (chickens), and the cyclical concept of growing food to feed animals that provide us with food is quickly made apparent. There are few game types better than a sim for illustrating simply the concept of time management, and many children will find find the idea of overseeing their own farm operation appealing. This game is good for kids who need help with: Time Managementīeing efficient and aware of our use of time and effort. ![]()
