✍️ Reviews of the Week

We stepped into a giant weaponized mech to take on four agents and then took our skateboard to the park to hang out with fellow Hooligans in our two featured reviews:

Metacene has its strong points but could improve in a few areas. The PC controls and targeting system are somewhat clunky, especially when using AoE skills, which might affect gameplay smoothness. Overall, Metacene stands out in the web3 MMORPG field with its solid graphics and mobile compatibility. Fans of anime-style games will likely find it appealing, and its player-owned marketplace offers great flexibility in gameplay progression and style.

Despite the challenge of finding engaging activities in Hooliland City due to limited attractions, My Pet Hooligan offers a thrilling gaming experience, especially with a strong player base. The game revitalizes traditional shooter concepts with innovative twists, offering diverse modes like Anarchy, Coinpocalypse, and Hangout to cater to different player preferences. Though it has room for improvement, My Pet Hooligan provides an entertaining and captivating experience that is bound to appeal to gamers worldwide.
