A great remake, I enjoyed it a lot. It feels great to fly around, hitting enemies. The game is really beautiful in handheld mode. The clouds look majestic. I like how cool the cover looks, too.
I just finished Pokemon Legends: Arceus. This marks the first time I beat a Pokemon game. Overall, I had a pretty good time... as someone who loved Breath of the Wild and its sequel, I would say my favorite part of the game is exploring around and catching all sorts of Pokemon for the Pokedex. The additions of strong and agile variants of attacks were pretty neat, too. Those strong attacks helped me quite a bit during the late game... my Pokemon were just a tad underleveled at that time, but I managed.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@D-Star92 Are you planning to complete the post-game? It has one of the best boss fights in the whole series IMO (might want to level up a bit though because it is tough).

I've finished replaying Deltarune along with playing the new 5th chapter in both the Normal Route and Weird Route. The new chapter is excellent on all fronts, as expected. I eagerly look forward to playing Chapter 6 next year!

Rolled the credits in Assassin's Creed Black Flag (Switch 2). This game was on the backlog since coming to Switch and I've been very intimidated by it. I've never played any Assassin's Creed games before and everyone under the sun has told me for years if you ever play one AC game it must be Black Flag. I tend to avoid these massive games because they can be cancer to completing backlog games with my limited gaming time. Anyways, I really enjoyed this game, and it was very worth the time spent. I don't think I'm going to be able to 100% it because there's just so much to the world map. From all the "collect-a-thon" things to the side missions. I tried going after 2 of those legendary ships and I got so wrecked. It felt like I was in a kayak with water balloons going up against an aircraft carrier. My ship is upgraded pretty high, but I can tell I must be maxed out in everything to even have a chance. I can see that taking an unnecessarily number of hours. I may keep this game around and hack at those "Templar Hunts/Assassin Contracts" and other odds & ends for kicks but we'll see. There's just so much to it but overall, a great experience. Also, as of now not feeling like the included DLC content and the included Rogue game. Think I need a long break from starting another AC adventure of any kind.
This fire is burning and it's out of control. It's not a problem you can stop it's Rock and Roll!!!
Man, i truly am i seasonal gamer. I can go months without playing anything. lol
I went on a big NS1 kick during Oct up until the end of Dec last year. Finished 15 or 16 NewWave retro titles like Bomb Chicken, Freddy Farmer, Mega Man 11, Shovel Knight, Curse of the Moon, DOOM + DOOM II, Tanuke Justice, Super Cyborg, Iron Meat, Rugrats Adventure in Gameland, Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit, Pepper Grinder, just to name a few and for the most part i had an absolute blast.
Haunted Castle Revisted must of been the biggest dissapointment of the bunch. I'm straight up Castlevania'd out. Loved it's OST and arcadey' styled flashy visuals, but it was lacking in terms of challenge, and it was just too familiar and derrivative. Mind you, it's technically a remaster of the original 80's game, so it's not trying to reinvent the wheel obviously. But still.
Other than that, i haven't beaten a single game on console since Steel Assault on NS1, and that was in Jan. That one in particular left a sour taste in my mouth. It gets quite a bit of praise, but it never clicked with me. It's rope mechanic was a bit of a mess, it felt a bit uninspired and i couldn't stand the OST. Pepper Grinder was in an entirely different league. Had that indie game had a more fitting and energetic OST(As is, it sounds like down and out industrial hipster coffee shop tunes) and if the devs gave you a reward or actual incentive for collecting every single bit of treasure per stage(Instead treasure just gives you money to buy stickers...For a sticker book, and nobody will care, believe me.) I would of smacked it with a 10. but becuase of those two shortcomings it lands at around 8.5.
That aside, I've been diving back into VR with Subside's latest Makoa shelf, which has been both mind blowingly surreal, yet terrifying once you teeter out of the shallows and you've come face to face with a Tiger Shark. That, and ShadowGate VR, which pits you in a dungeon with tons of puzzles, acomponied by monstrous spiders, and other bizarr creatures that looked like they crawled out of a Dungeons and Dragons stragety guide.
Recently, I've dabbled with the PS5 demo for Resident Evil: Requiem, and played a teeny tiny bit of Mighty Goose on NS1, but i haven't dedicated myself to anything just yet.
Overall I think it's a 4/7, the gameplay is solid enough for me to give a +1, and I do love the graphics and everything. (HD2D is just awesome, love it)
Buuuut where it fell short is the story imo.
I'll start on the good part first, and I'll go and say that the finale is awesome, riding a phoenix (of life) to fight a dragon (of death) is cool, and there's a sequence where if you die at the latter part of the phase, the dragon will eat the fairy to prevent it and that's such a cool meta moment... And there's also the cool part of everyone finally working together after thousands of years where humans are being racist to the myu. Honestly the story is kinda basic but the finale is good.
But now we move to the cons and well...
I dislike how the whole humans are racist to the myu stuff is done, and how it's just like... The myu is such goodie two shoes holy *****. Why is humans kept being given every pass??? Like yes the first 2 endings have us murder a Myu who wants to just kill all humans because her mom got killed by humans and how her family got killed by humans, but how is it only happen once???
There's also the fact how the beast tribe is just an enemy, they got no sentience and we just don't have to examine anything about how they are just aggressive and will attack human civilizations and stuff. I don't like this personally, honestly when it's showing how the beast tribe attacks humans and stuff on the trailer i was hoping that as we adventure, we see different beast tribe being sentient and stuff until it becomes how it is at the present, but it's not like that... The only other sentient tribe is the Myu, and they don't really get much until near the end and even then... How is their culture etc? We never really managed to dig into it.
Last part i'm not liking is... We went on time travel adventure, but there's barely any change to the present because of what we've done. Like, considering how demo ends with kaifried saying he will change the future by going to the past, we should see some of that? Or at least, have elliot change the past thay caused something negative! The most obvious changes are all positive. From elliot's father surviving, and the true ending spoilers' (true ending stuff) elliot sent faie to the past and that changes the past enough where we managed to kill the true enemy and it's just a generic death god??? And again, another example where past changing is positive only
Overall, I feel game is too black and white but since gameplay is still fun i'll put 4/7
