Re: Zelda-Inspired Adventure 'Airoheart' Could Be A Treat For Fans Of A Link To The Past

Kurusu

I really enjoy these Zelda likes and they do scratch that itch but I always feel slightly let down whilst playing them. There's nothing about these games that elicit the same feeling of wonder and charm that makes Zelda special which in turn leaves these kinds of games feeling very lifeless if that makes sense? Not to discredit the amount of time and passion poured in to these titles ofc. I wonder if there are any inspired titles that I've missed that do conjure up those feelings though

Re: Switch Online Subscribers Can Try The World Ends With You: Final Remix Soon (North America)

Kurusu

I urge anyone who hasn't tried TWEWY out already to take advantage of this trial if possible. It's such a unique game that has a special place in my heart. I recommend playing the game handheld and grabbing a stylus to make the experience more comfy. It's not a game for everyone due to it's distinctive combat system and the way the story is structured but when it clicks? It clicks. You'll have a blast.

Re: Review: Sky: Children of the Light - An Experience That Soars On Switch

Kurusu

Started playing this tonight and woah, what a beautiful experience. Incredibly gorgeous world to explore and lots of stories to discover behind every nook and cranny. Another player exchanged candles with me and took my hand as we soared through the skies for a while until we had to depart with a hug. I'm not sure if the novelty will last but it's been a while since I've had such a wonderful experience with a multiplayer game.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Replay Games?

Kurusu

Nah. Too many games and such little time. Not that I don't get the itch to relive my childhood and replay OoT over and over but I'd much rather, with the limited time I have, enjoy a new experience.

Re: Soapbox: Is The Best Harry Potter Game On Game Boy Color? Quite Possibly

Kurusu

Recently finished playing HP1 & HP2 on the GBC and of the two 1 definitely has aged the worse but even then I still had a great time with the game. There's a lot of love and genuine care for the IP in both games and it shows. Griptonite Games really did their homework. The only issue I had was how collecting most of the Wizards Cards boiled down to spamming A on every little thing on the map because for some reason they didn't figure out Treasure Chests existed in RPG's until 3 on the GBA. Oh yeah and the absolutely abysmal walking speeds ugh.

Re: Stardew Valley's 1.5 Update Will Arrive On Consoles Early Next Year

Kurusu

Absolutely insane how much support this game is still receiving! Not that I'm complaining mind you. Stardew Valley is the gift that keeps on giving and Eric Barone's tireless efforts constantly improving the game have not gone unnoticed. Super excited to delve back into the game when this update releases.

Re: Review: Hades - A Heavenly Trip Into Hell That's Utterly Essential For All Switch Owners

Kurusu

I'd be the first to admit I'm not much a fan of roguelikes myself but I decided to purchase this on a whim after the Direct due to being a fan of Supergiant's other titles. Needless to say I'm impressed and find myself quite addicted to Hades, ha. The game positively oozes with style, the writing is so good and the gameplay is fast, weighty and satisfying. I'm really glad I took the chance on it. The 10/10 score is well earned.

Re: Police Confirm That YouTuber Desmond "Etika" Amofah Has Died

Kurusu

This is heartbreaking. I'm one of the many who didn't watch Etika but I saw quite a few of his clips in the past and he always seemed like a genuinely cool and passionate dude. Mental health is absolutely no joke and it's very upsetting that it had to come to this.
Rest In Peace Etika.

Re: Review: Dragalia Lost - A Deep And Rewarding Smartphone RPG That Might Just Surprise You

Kurusu

Oh boy, here comes the Mobile = Automatically Bad crowd. I've been playing Dragalia Lost since launch and I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it. The characters are charming and full of personality, the story is decent and the visuals are gorgeous. The music is also amazing too. I can understand why folks would be put off by the gacha system but this is by far the most generous game I've played on mobile in terms of the platinum currency they give away. The devs have been listening to feedback and are actively ensuring that the game is fair and balanced. In terms of characters you can legit play the entire game with 3 star adventurers and clear most of the content without 4/5 stars. Hell, I'd even go further and say that quite a few of 3 and 4 stars are a lot better than the higher tier of characters.

It's a grindy game, that's pretty much a given, but the amount of content that is available helps to alleviate that grind sometimes. Each and every character and dragon have their own stories that you can read when you level them up so you can learn more about their background and who they are which is fantastic - you're not just getting random heroes who are bland as sin and don't do anything but fight for you.

I understand and respect that mobile games are pretty lame and it's easy to write them off as money-grabbing wastes of time but credit where credit is due Cygames are doing something right with this one. I hope more people have a go at it without dismissing it as 'another mobile game'.
