Video Game Review: The Caligula Effect: Overdose

/ Video Game Reviews

There are three core elements at work: exploration (read: dungeon crawling), social interaction and combat. Those dungeons take the form of a city as you run through hallways and streets, encountering “digiheads” (your fellow Mobius residents whose minds remain closed to the truth — more on that below) that you’ll battle with. The transition to these fights sees the world melt away, exposing an arena-like setting.

The Snakes have struggled for years to find a consistent closer year in and year out. Could Lopez be the long-term solution? Currently, he’s providing nice value in holds leagues, and has tossed scoreless ball in nine of his 10 outings to begin the season. After looking real good in an eighth inning role late in 2018, Lopez has already matched the number of games he appeared in last season, and if he can control his overpowering heat, he definitely has the potential to close down the road. Patience will be required as he has very little experience above Double-A.

There’s some late drama as well, as the transition to the wild isn’t as successful as the team had hoped, forcing Owens to return to China (after a contrived scene of him running and then “getting the phone call”) to track down Qian Qian. The film never really clues you in as to what went wrong, or what the results mean for the future, but suffice to say the effort to acclimate Qian Qian wasn’t a rousing success.

Pinder is looking like a decent Fantasy option — especially in DFS play (against lefties) while his salary is low. He’s hit safely in five straight games, and the first four of those were all multi-hit efforts. Pinder is showing some impressive power, doubling in three straight and homering three times so far this season, helping making up for a lack of speed. He doesn’t walk, but he’s not striking out, either, and best of all, he’s finally showing he can hit righties a bit better (.269). Pinder may still be a utility player, bouncing around the field, but he’s getting lots of chances to start this year and the way he’s playing he could cement his role early on.
