Meet 'Dungeon Defenders 2,' The Best Game I've Reviewed

Last week I wrote about the worst game I reviewed for websites, so it's only fair that I talk about one of the best games that I've reviewed as well. If you like what you read, go on ahead and try it yourself. The best part about the game is that it's free. That game is "Dungeon Defenders 2."

"Dungeon Defenders 2" is a role-playing tower defense and action game with a lot of depth to it. Unlike the first "Dungeon Defenders," this one is a free-to-play title, which means there are microtransactions, which we will talk about later. The objective of the game is to defend and protect the eternity crystal against waves of enemies. The game consists of 10 maps which have a difficulty of easy, medium or hard. The higher the difficulty, the better the loot.

The loot system in "Dungeon Defenders" is the main reason why I love the series in the first place. Any game that allows you to collect loot is always a plus in my book. The loot you receive is based on the class you go into battle with. The loot you receive also has its own certain stats and rarity, which you can upgrade using medals or coins.

Coins are the primary currency in the game that you can use for basic things like buying gear from the blacksmith or leveling up your gear. Medals are the secondary source of currency. With medals, you can buy characters, pets, shards and almost everything else in the game. To earn medals, you must complete a quest and daily missions. To me, it doesn't seem that unfair even though some of the medal prices for certain things are a little bit ridiculous.

Then we have the wallet eater, gems. As far as I know, throughout the game, you only start out with 200 gems, which gets you nothing. The only way to earn gems is to bring out the old wallet and spend spend spend. Gems give your characters a lot more quickly than medals, and they also allow you to buy costumes for your character class as well.

There are currently seven classes on the game to choose from. The free classes in the game are the Apprentice, Huntress, Monk and the Squire. The classes that you must buy using gems or medals are the Abyss Lord, Series EV2, Gun Witch, Lavamancer, Dryad and the Apprentice. Each class has its own unique set of skills and their own defenses for battle.

Now, the game did have a rough rocky launch seeing ERROR 2002 every time I logged in. This made the game nearly unplayable. Even when you were lucky enough to get in, you would get kicked out for server issues. This truly made me want to hate the game without a doubt. A few days later, I tried to log in and eventually, it worked.

Looking past all the server issues and the little bugs, the game is a blast to play. It's very exciting to see all hell break loose as swarms of enemies come from all sides and to see everybody scrambling trying to help each other out. The game is playable with up to four people online, and I would be lying if I said that I didn't have a blast.

The graphics are designed to look like a cartoonish realm with stunning visuals everywhere you look. Other than textures taking a while to load, the game looks perfect. Soundwise the game has a beautiful soundtrack that fits perfectly with the game, including while you battle against enemies. The main character doesn't say anything throughout the game, but there is a narrator during the cutscenes whose voice is very suitable for storytelling. The monsters also have their own unique sounds and don't really sound repetitive.

Nothing in this world is perfect, and with that, in mind "Dungeon Defenders 2" is a work in progress. I would like to imagine what this game could have been if Trendy had held onto it a little longer. But don't worry, with a patch here and a bug fix there, I believe that "Dungeon Defenders 2" will be the game that its fans want it to be… perfect.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
