Seems like A Hat In Time is a great fit for the Switch. I played it on my PS4. Seeing as you can have controllers on PC too, any platform seems fine but the short levels and the vibrant, easy-going atmosphere are good for pick-up-and-play I’d think.

I was afraid I’d have to plow through the similar Route B but I ended up enjoying it much more than A because the combat clicked more and I found a great plugin set-up. Finished Route B yesterday, so I’m strapping in cause shit’s about to get weird, y’all.

Yeah, I don’t need a big tv for indie games and the abundance of indies really is a bigg sell point for me. Into The Breach is one I’d love to try to. Mario + Rabbids too, I love me some XCOM. 

I don’t think it is. I don’t enjoy pc gaming and the Switch, apart from the obvious nintendo-titles, is building up an impressive catalog of smaller games too.

Is it silly to buy a Switch for this game? This and Metal Goose Solid make me want run over to Yodobashi right now.

Weird tone to take considering the larger context. At worst, its still symptomatic for a culture where they work themselves to death. At best, it contributes to the zealous genius narrative, something youll see during a montage in a biopic.

I did read stuff about different endings and C and all that. I’ll see for myself. At this point, I’m looking forward to the music most actually, it gets universal praise.

Yeah, single purple enemies I could take on but two or one with minions, forget it. Especially travelers always gave me a hard time. I did like how the exploration would lead me to areas where I’d just take a mental note to return to. I only used videos for tracking down the ravens and a few artifacts and lore stones.…

That’s amazing. That first chunk of health (realizing half-way through you hadn’t taken damage yet? wow) she took, was massive. Your spatial awareness and timing are awesome, I really enjoyed watching that.

Those blinding attacks were the worst. Whenever I would turn around, I’d still be damaged. Was I just too late?…

You really should, just for the story, atmosphere, visuals, music,... it’s well worth playing. It really is one of my favourite games ever. I’ll take this kind of semi-open, beautifully curated game over any open world game any day.

I wish I could claim beast-mode but honestly, I played the game on Give Me A Balanced Experience-level, not Challenge or God Of War. And that’s really what it delivers. It was challenging, I still died occasionally in normal fights if I wasn’t paying attention and those Valkyries were tricky at first. The first one at…

I beat Sigrun, Queen of Valkyries in God Of War and, seamlessly connecting to William’s addiction-bit, got a shiny Platinum to show for it! Soon as I finished it, it showed me the 100% completion message too, thus having finished my journey through the nine realms (for now). Not that I mean to reduce this amazing game…

Wingman feels great too, it’s a good combo for sure.

If you want to support Respawn, get the battle pas when it releases. I’m definitely getting it because I do like the drip of cosmetics here and there. Especially weapon skins add a nice touch.

Mimir is one of so many great parts of the game. A talking head that does nothing but tell stories? Amazing, yes please, more.
If that line about “the dwarves taking measurements”, he’s gonna get an artificial body, I hope he still tags along on the next journey (to Asgard???).

I think that’s the best condensation of KH3 I’ve seen so far: “it was more emotional starting than finishing.” So much love for that series, such a sprawling ...everything really. It was gonna be hard to live up to the expectations. Yeah, it might have some dumb stuff and failings here and there but it tried, it…

Haven’t played anything new this week.
I played a little bit of God Of War, finishing the first go through Muspelheim. Valkyrie defeated. After that, I did another round of exploration around the Lake of Nine. And I gotta say, I think the Lake of Nine is one of the best central “hub”areas I’ve ever experienced.…

Of the three LucasArts remasters I played with a friend, Day of the Tentacle was the biggest perpetrator of gibberish logic. Grim Fandango and Full Throttle were much easier were, the few times we had to look something up, we went “ooohh yeah, of course”. While Day of the Tentacle was more “jeesh, glad I didn’t waste…

I’ve only played the first one and a bit of the second. Didn’t know anything going on how Kratos’ story ended so I was mostly curious about the story and look of it.
Having finished the game now, I ended up loving the combat. The earlier games were mostly button-mashing business for me as I was never one to get into…

The Ping-system is genuinely impressive. You can call dibs on it after someone has pinged it just by pointing it and pressing R1 (on PS4) again. You can ping slots in your inventory to call for a specific item, really handy. And the best part? Usually, people try and help if they can.
