Hey everyone. This week I've finished Shadow Labyrinth on my S2.
I really enjoyed it until the end when it becomes a boss rush game. Ruined all the hard work they did with the main game. Really loved the Pacman, Galaxian and Dig Dug sections.

Also played more Cyberpunk on my S2 as well. Loving it.

Getting through Legend of Tianding on my S1.
Love the combat.

Started Chronicle's of the Wolf or what I like to call Castlevania of the Wolf.
Love the old school vibes.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey everyone.
This week I've been playing some great games

Switch
The Legend of Tianding.
Really enjoying this game, some great art and the fighting is very satisfying. Good stuff.

Switch 2
Cyberpunk 2077. Absolutely getting right into this. The game has so much to see and do, I'm loving it.

Shadow Labyrinth. Secret Edition.
Playing this on Switch 2 as I heard it struggles on Switch. Plays beautifully on S2, buttery smooth and some great art and sound. I'm really enjoying it. I must be playing a different version from reviews because it plays perfectly on S2. It did have a big update before I could play it but I've encountered no hassles whatsoever so reviewers really need to revisit it. I bought the Switch version on cart and got the free S2 update.

Also had Chronicles of the Wolf and Pipistrello arrive this week as well so I'm looking forward to some great games.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks I've finished Tevi on my Switch.
Really enjoyed it, great exploration Metroidvania.

This week I've been playing numerous games.

Switch:
Endless Memories
A good Metroidvania that has some great ideas but does nothing new.

Switch 2:
DK Bananza
Loving it.
Cyberpunk 2077
I'll probably finish this game by 2077.

PS4:
Callisto Protocol
Love the atmosphere and I absolutely loved the Dead Space series so this was a no brainer.

So many great games in my backlog atm.

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks I finished Vigil: The Longest Night.
Absolutely loved it.

Started Tevi, really enjoying it.
It has a huge map with heaps of areas to explore.

Also grabbed DK Bananza so I'm looking forward to going bananas.

I have Shadow Labyrinth Secret Edition, Pipistrello and Chronicles of the Wolf on the way to me so I'll have plenty of games to play soon.
You can never have too many games.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks have been busy.

I finally put all my games up into my new cabinets in my new games room.
My complete Pal N64 cib collection is all put away, and I finally built my arcade cabinets as well.
Just got to set up my lights and top shelves.
Heres a link, let me know what you think.

I also finished Lost Epic.
Absolutely loved this game. A huge Metroidvania with some excellent fighting and combat mechanics that puts some so called dedicated fighters to shame.

Also started Vigil: The Longest Night.
Really enjoying it, a great Metroidvania that has a huge map and heaps of weapons. Great stuff.

Also plodding along with Cyberpunk 2077. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey everyone.
This week I've played more MarioKart World to the surprise of nobody.

Finished Cookie Cutter Overkill Edition.
An excellent game with some great humour and very adult themes.
Highly recommended if you are looking for a great Metroidvania.

Played some more Mario RPG, really enjoying it.

Also started Lost Epic.
A very deep Metroidvania with rpg mechanics and some great fighting combinations. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Have a great weekend everyone

Hey everyone.
Hope you all had fun with your Switch 2 this week, I know I have.

This week my family and I put in some stupid hours into Mario kart world, we've been having a great time every night this week.

I'd say I got to play some more Cyberpunk 2077 as well but since my eldest daughter is addicted to MKW I've had to wait.
Thankfully my S1 is still on our big screen so while she plays yet another game of MKW I've been playing some more of Ultros, chipping away at it.

I also started the excellent Cookie Cutter Overkill Edition, this game is amazing. Absolutely highly recommended if you like a very good Metroidvania.

We've also played some more of Mario RPG but not a lot since the S2 arrived.

We've need to get back into Hello Kitty Island Adventure, we might try them all on the S2 once were allowed to steal it back off my daughter.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey everyone.
I had a very busy week this week

I had my birthday on Monday, received my Switch 2 on Thursday and played lots of games and my 2 new cabinets arrived so I can finally put my CIB Pal N64 collection up on display to play like they deserve. All 244+ of them.

This week I finished Catmaze , a cute little Metroidvania.
It was good, nothing amazing but still very enjoyable.

Also started Ultros.
Love the art style and mix of gardening with the usual Metroidvania elements.

Also played some more Hello Kitty Island Adventure with the family, good relaxing fun.

Also started Mario RPG.
What an excellent game, so much fun.

Finally set up my new Switch 2 and played some Cyberpunk 2077.
Looks stunning and I love the freedom.
Great start.
It wouldn't be a Switch 2 party without Mario Kart World.
The family and I are having a blast, great fun and I love the free roaming.

Have a great weekend everyone, I plan to

Hey everyone.
This week I finished Ender Magnolia.
What a beautiful game.
Played it on hard and got the good ending. Took me 40 hours to get 100% completion.
Loved every minute of it.

Also started Catmaze.
A cute little Metroidvania from the same developer as Fearmonium which I also enjoyed.

Also started Hello Kitty Island Adventure with the family.
This game has surprised me at how good it actually is, really enjoying it.

Set up my new games room this week.
Finished 2 of my 4 cabinets with my Switch collection, Cube, Wii, Wii U, 360 and PS4 collections.
Still have my N64 games and consoles to go.

It's my 55th birthday on Monday so I have a big week planned thanks to Nintendo releasing the Switch 2 to celebrate my birthday πŸ€ͺ

Have a great weekend everyone, I know I will.

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks I finished Mindsieze.
Absolutely loved this game, a great Metroidvania that knows exactly what it is and does so with so much love and polish that shines throughout the whole game. Excellent game.

I also started 9 Years of Shadows/Bugs.
Man, this game is such a disappointment. Not the actual game itself but the amount of bugs that this game is riddled with. This is the worst, most bug infested release from LRG ever.
I've been playing it on and off for the last 3 weeks for a total of around 10 hours and I've had over 30+ bugs!
From softlocks (the most common), to health that just disappears and can't be replenished, game freezes, sound locks, and even bosses that reappeared after I defeated them. I've had to play this game in blocks as I would otherwise flush the cart down the toilet in rage if I didn't. Such a shame.

Anyway, I've also started Ender Magnolia.
What a stark contrast to 9 Years of Pain, such a polished, beautiful game that I absolutely love. Absolutely amazing game so far.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks I've finished a couple of games and started a new one.
I finished Silver Axe:The Honest Elf.
A great little Metroidvania with a good little story that I enjoyed a fair bit.

Also finished Rusty Rabbit.
Put in over 40 hours and 100% it.
Great game that I highly recommend, especially if you're after a Metroidvania with a great story. Opened NG+ as well. Heaps of content. Great stuff.

Started 9 Years of Shadows, really enjoying it so far.

Also put more money down on my Switch 2 preorder and also pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077.
Can't wait to hook into my new console.
Bring in my Birthday, well, 3 days after it.
Have a great weekend everyone.
