Most recently, the game that stole my heart and became my favorite video game of all time is Baldur's Gate III. Growing up, I loved Bethesda RPGs like Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, etc. I've put in tens of thousands of hours in every genre imaginable. I've been gaming for over 27 years since I was six. Failing isn't the case with Starfield because over 6,000,000 played it in the first 8 days, but you catch my drift. When a game is fantastic, everyone stands to gain, but when it's bad and fails, everyone loses. A must-buy for fans of retro-type shooters.To tell you the truth, I hoped Starfield would blow my mind. Sky Force Anniversary is a great throwback to that classic era, and this time it doesn’t stumble on the mobile gaming conventions that held back the PSP port. After all, most classic shooters were also over in an hour or less… or whatever could be done using a handful or quarters. These mechanics, while obviously a way to introduce a bit of grinding as well, gives the game a little more lasting appeal. The goals are diverse, ranging from completing a level unharmed to making sure you take down every enemy thrown at you.
GAMES LIKE SKY FORCE PC UPGRADE
Whereas in most shooters it’s enough to survive and make sure the end boss doesn’t, Sky Force gives you a variety of extra objectives that allow you to gain bonus points – which can in turn be used to upgrade your ship. The novelty that Sky Force brings to the classic genre is its use of objective/achievements. You can also upgrade basic stats (like life/shield force), which also makes surviving a bit easier. You either pick them up or pay for them in an in-game “store” and that’s how you arm yourself against levels that continuously get tougher. You can unlock extra weapons as part of your basic loadout, as well as gaining access to special weapons like powerful bombs.
GAMES LIKE SKY FORCE PC FULL
Sky Force is full of all the usual staples of the genre, while also adding a few modern ones. There’s a story, but the only relevant part is that you start out with a bare bones ship and have to upgrade while fighting your way through hordes or enemies.


Sky Force is a lot like those games, but uses modern technology for a boost in the audiovisual department. On a personal level, this is a shame, because I grew up playing classics like 1942 and later enjoyed games like Raiden as well. It seems that a lot of shooters these days – at least of the vertical scrolling kind – are of the bullet hell variety.
GAMES LIKE SKY FORCE PC PS3
In this case, it’s a cross-buy title for PS4, PS3 and Playstation Vita. Sky Force Anniversary isn’t a port of that version, but rather a remake with different platforms in mind. The reason for that is that Sky Force was originally a title for mobile devices, even though it saw releases for other platforms as well. Having ‘anniversary’ in the title generally gives gamers the idea that they’re dealing with a timeless classic, but Sky Force is a relatively unknown title to a lot of console gamers – or even arcade gamers, where the shoot ’em up genre was very big. Sky Force Anniversary is an ode to the classic shooters of the eighties and nineties – how well does it work on modern platforms?
