Brilliant game. I'm not interested in the DLC though and €20 is a bit steep for 30 minutes or so worth of content anyway.

I have this game on Steam and I went in not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised instead. Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is another good Zelda like game too.

Not enjoying Ranked at all. Not because I'm losing matches, I'm actually winning quite a few actually I just don't like being forced to play it when I don't really want to just so I can obtain a Mega Stone I wouldn't be able to obtain otherwise. People are talking of hackers, they're just people that used some program or generator to gain an adbvantage. I wish people would stop using the term "hackers" as hacking is very complex and this game does not have "hackers" so stop using that stupid term please.

@AG_Awesome Hmm that does sound really annoying. I know I did have a similar issue playing Let's Go Eevee recently but I think that was because of drift. The Joycons I was using were my launch ones thiough so they were quite old.

@AG_Awesome That's weird that never happened to me at all.

Pokèmon Legends ZA, I got 2 Shiny Fletchling last night, heard the Shiny sound, ran around like a lunatic couldn't find anything, panicked, looked up and one was in a tree and the other was hiding in a patch of grass. Away from that I'll be playing more Kirby Air Riders some Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 on Switch followed by Sonic Racing Crossworlds Sonic X Shadow Generations and Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment.

Reading this is funny because only recently I read an Article about how Bethesda said they like to take their time when it comes to releasing their games. If that's true then why do they still release them in such a buggy glitchy state? or why is it they end up running like crap? it genuinely does make me wonder what exactly these developers get up to behind closed doors and considering this is a 14 year old game this is just embarassing to put it mildly.

You can't even save your progress with this. Guess I'll be sticking with my Dreamcast version as I still believe that's the best way to play it. I have it on GOG and 3DS too but to me I'll always prefer the original Dreamcast release.

I've been glued to Kirby Air Riders so it's nice to see it as high as it is here. Mario Kart World I'm still not interested in personally unless they add an option to play 3 lap races online. Intermission just doesn't interest me now and it won't interest me in the future, EVER.

I find the base game repetitive with all of the research tasks and repetitive Z-A battles at night but I've been playing it in short sessions so boredom doesn't set in. Reading this Review I must admit I'm not as enthusiastic for playing the DLC to what I was, I hate time limits and again more repetitive research tasks. I'm going to have to take a time out from the game I think after I finish the base game before I attempt this and honestly making everything higher than lv 100 just seems like a cheap way to pad it all out. It all sounds like artificial difficulty to me rather than a genuine challenge.

@Nep-Nep-Freak I have Cyberdimension Neptunia in my Steam Library but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, is it any good?

Kirby Air Riders Pokèmon Legends ZA Sonic X Shadow Generations (PC) I might play some Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PC) followed by Sonic Racing Crossworlds. Oh and if I'm in the mood and have time I'll play some more Roboquest VR too (PCVR)

I was just about to play some online again and as luck would have it there's maintenance going on so I guess I'll play when I get home from work now this evening.

@Emacster Everyone on my friend list has abandoned Mario Kart World for this game or Kirby Air Riders. Just be honest Mario Kart World compared to 8 Deluxe is just a half baked failure regardless. If it has Mario on the box ofc it's going to sell, same with any big IP regardless of quality really.

Hope it brings the series back to its roots because Shadow of the Tomb Raider even though it wasn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination compared to the 2 games that came before it I feel it was definitely lacking in that Idk that oomph I suppose.

I recently bought the Switch 2 version and it's superb. To me the empty boring Open World and straight line intermission races have completely ruined Mario Kart World for me. Crossworlds is basically everything I want from a game of this genre. My only nitpick though is the game has too many lock on weapons.

I caught a Shiny Alpha Eevee last night. It took over 150 Ultra Balls to catch and I had 180 in total. To say I was tense would be an understatement.

Ohh nice. I still have this game for my Gamecube but I haven't played it in years so this is a perfect excuse for me to play it again.

Why can't they just give them via an in game event or Mystery Gift? I lost interest in Competitive Pokèmon years ago and I don't like the way I feel forced to play Ranked to get the stones when I'm just not interested in it. Epic failure in my book.

I'm happy playing the Oblivion Remaster tbh. Skyrim was great when it came out but because it's been re-released so many times I'm just tired of seeing it now.

Ubisoft Support are an embarassment. They should just say "sorry we haven't got a clue" instead of gaslighting people. I myself one time had an issue with a Ubisoft game crashing on PS5 and they said the exact same thing "it's an issue with the Console" the game in question was Assassin's Creed Valhalla which has since been patched and the game runs fine now but still. Idk why these people are employed because they're not helpful, at all.

Still a straight line overall with some minor obstacles thrown in but it's better than nothing I suppose. Regardless I'm glued to Kirby Air Riders right now. I will go back to Mario Kart World, just not yet. If only they would add an option for 3 lap though sigh

Metroid Prime 4 which is fantastic btw sone Kirby Air Riders Ranked online Sonic X Shadow Generations (PC) Pokèmon Legends ZA and finally Ninja Gaiden 4. I'll try and continue on with my Digimon Story Time Stranger Playthrough too if I can find the time.

@Truegamer79 Dude everything you just said there isn't true at all. I'm not happy about this either, I don't think anybody is but there's no need to be talking nonsense.

I played online all night last night after playing some Metroid Prime 4. Kirby Air Riders is easily my favourite racer out of the 3 (Mario Kart World Sonic Racing Crossworlds and ofc Kirby Air Riders)

@Mana_Knight There was for the DS yes. It's surprisingly pretty good too. The tables are designed around certain environments from Metroid Prime and it's surprising just how enjoyable playing Pinball can be when you have the OST and sound effects from Metroid Prime playing in the background.

@Monik3r I thought Hunters looked superb on the DS at the time and I still think it holds up rather well today given the underpowered hardware it's running on.

I don't take Metacritic seriously most of the time. This being said Federation Force was one of the worst 3DS games I have ever played. It was just a boring FPS using the Metroid Prime name and nothing else so it definitely deserves to be at the bottom.

I've had this game in my Steam Library since launch and I haven't played it at all. I really need to do something about that.

@Scapetti Are you even playing the same game as everybody else? not well made? it's one of the best racers in years. In Mario Kart World you're just driving in a straight line most of the time it's so boring. I'm sorry but your analogy is just utterly bizarre to put it mildly.

@Jayenkai WH Smiths? sheesh that brings me back to a simpler happier time.

@KayFiOS It's a 2025 Samsung. I only bought it at the beginning of this year. It was fairly expensive (almost 2K) but it was worth it. Before I was using a Samsung QLED which was fine but the colours just lacked that Idk that oomph I suppose.

@Filthy Ditto. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Was tempted to give this a shot but the extra expense of the HDMI cable just puts me right off. I'll just stick to my 65" 4K OLED 120hz TV. Regardless thanks for the Review.

This still doesn't feel real to me, I just can't believe 8 years have just passed us by. At one point I was convinced we were never going to get Prime 4 and I'm so glad that wasn't the case. I'll be playing as soon as I get off work which is just a little over an hour from now.

Sounds like bagging won't be quite as viable now thank God. I actually stopped playing online because of bagging.

@missingno_fgc Is it? it's been years since I played that particular game so I can't really remember tbh.

This is definitely an oversight. In previous games you could always just load your save before the final boss to pick up anything you might have missed. Hopefully this will be fixed ASAP.

I hope the digital versions of the game will be playable after midnight tonight.

Interesting. After a quick Google any game that is dual release does indeed work on Switch 1 and 2 whether it's digital or physical. I guess I learnt something today. I still find it a bit odd though but convenient.

@AlexOlney It does? how odd. I wish my PS5 games ran on PS4, would have saved me some money back then.

@siavm The Switch 1 version can be played on both systems but the Switch 2 version is exclusive to Switch 2.

I bought both versions. The Switch 2 version from Smyths Toys and the Switch 1 version digitally so it'll be interesting to compare the 2.

@squiddu-real Yeah I'm very unlucky for sure. I just want to play the more fun 3 lap races whenever I want to and Nintendo won't let me. It's really frustrating.

@Danrenfroe2016 Agreed.

My copy from Smyths Toys has just been shipped.

So still no option to play 3 lap races? then I'm still not interested. They claim the frequency of 3 lap races appearing online was increased yet every single time I played which was quite a lot I kept getting intermission. I'm sorry but intermission races are just coma inducing to me.

Just add an option to play 3 lap races online and everything is golden.

@GamingFan4Lyf Mine too. It's sort of annoying the way you get so much positivity surrounding a game then you get the usual critics put a damper on things. A shame the individual responding to me in a rather rude and ignorant manner failed to understand what I was saying.

Don't give a carrot what these boring critics say. I'll play the game and decide for myself. Bear in mind this is coming from a guy that actually enjoyed Metroid Other M which had lots of open areas. Open World areas never bothered me so I see criticism like that as completely irrelevant to my own personal tastes. Sometimes I do have to wonder how some of these critics got jobs at all, especially those at Eurogamer and Gamespot.

I've just realised this design looks a bit similar to Anubis in Palworld lol.
