Re: Review: DOOM Eternal - This 'Impossible' Port Is Nothing Short Of A Miracle

HAL9000

The wizards at Panic Button are amazing. The game runs sooooo smoothly and looks absolutely amazing. When I jumped out of tutorial temple and saw the hell on earth landscape with walking giant my jaw dropped.

Huge improvement on the map and navigation... everything is very obvious where to go with colored highlights to help navigation so you don't get lost. THANK YOU!

Re: Ring Fit Adventure Player Shows Off His Healthy Transformation After One Month

HAL9000

Ring Fit is an AMAZING exercise-game hybrid. I do daily AM swimming for my daily exercise... and then use Ring Fit as my SUPPLEMENTAL bonus exercise calisthenics in the evening after work (assuming I don't fall comatose after work). It is really great for having additional exercise in evening for fun and not have to go to a gym. It is not a primary exercise program but is great for motivating me to do extra exercise since I am also playing a game.

Re: Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair Is Playtonic's Next Game, And It's Coming To Switch

HAL9000

Thank goodness! I loved the characters of the first game... but the open world exploration of the first game was SOOOO CONFUSING! I had to play it with a FAQ open just to find my way around (yes I know it was trying to replicate N64 exploration levels... but ... give us a Mini-Map with objectives ... please!).

This is a much improved idea to focus on linear levels and focus on characters + platforming - the strengths of the team and characters.

Music by Wise and Kirkhope... Insta-buy!

Re: Review: Ape Out - A Short But Oh-So-Sweet Action Title That Every Switch Owner Should Play

HAL9000

Having bought and spent some quality time with the game this weekend.... Ape Out is a game that NEEDS to be played to be understood. The music is an INTEGRAL of the game and the game "feels" perfectly as an escape rampaging Ape running for your life as you play because of how the music responds to you.

Found a great interview with musical director that puts this connection in a much better language than I can.
