Bought it yesterday in France. Had a great time with a friend and our 8bitdo Sticks. Would be nice to play it full screen like the PSP Version, but it was an awesome night. Can't wait for Under Night In-birth and SamSho!
Okami, Blossom Tales, Hob and Kamiko were amazing and unforgettable games, but the rest bored me so hard. Ittle Dew 2 is imo one of the worst Zelda Clones ever and Hyper Light Drifter touched me in no way!
No Sky Force? No Stardust Galaxy Warriors? No Overdriven? No Rival Megagun? These, Anger Force, Ikaruga and Steredenn, but the rest is not worth it imo Devil Engine, Black Paradox and Super Hydorah are good too, but too expensive for what's in them. And there are a lot more good retro shmups, but you don't need them so much like the one mentioned.
Very honest review! Thanks for not following the hype! I was really into this game. Waiting for this since the Switch launched two years ago. Bought it yesterday and played it the whole night and was very very disappointed. All these Action packed trailers promised something else. This game is very slow and a lot of repeating and the worst: economical!
Elli, Hob and Rive. All three games are such gems and I bought them all because I had so much Goldpoints left. One of the best eshop-shopping-weekends ever. If the weekend just could stay a couple days more.
I mean: really? ! What was I'm thinking? Of course there will be DLCs, but I was so fast on my MK11 Hypetrain that I totally forgot about it. Cancelled my order right away and will wait for a Komplete Edition in one or two years or a good bargain.
@SBandy yes, it is. The Toxic Avenger - make this right. Best Soundtrack together with NeuroVoider! ... and the game is great too. I'm still at the 8th guardian.
For the first time since the Switch is out: nothing! Just played X Morph Defense and there is no game at the moment for me that I'm interested in. Feels strange, but will be a great weekend though.
@jobvd to me it feels slower and it does not respond as good as the the first installment. Maybe I have to practice more. When Street Fighter III came out I was so shocked about the controls (and the soundtrack of course), but after some game nights I got into it (not the music). I should give it another try maybe.
I was always a big Blazblue Fan and played it a lot on my PS3 back then. I was very disappointed about CrossTag Battle and its "easy inputs", so I was very hyped when this title here was announced. I don't know why, but I don't like it. I thought, maybe I'm just not in Blazblue anymore, so I played the first one on my PS3... I played it for the whole night. It's that game and I don't know why. It's Blazblue, but somehow it's not. Can't desripe it actually. The controls just don't feel right and the little changes in characterdesign and roster are so ugly in my eyes. At least you can play the demo, so you will not be so disappointed when you buy it blind like me. Can't understand this high rating.
I will play more Tetris 99 and the DXM Demo for the sixth time. I'm really hyped for this. And I will finish Milanoir. Originally I wanted to play Oniken and Odallus but I will wait for the Update.
We played some Wargroove and we were very disappointed. So we bought Tiny Barbarian DX, because it was on sale for 10$. We had a blast the last 8 hours! A perfect "best buddy coop game"!
Ok, maybe it's really just my opinion and I'm all alone in my hatecage here, but this game.... It's way too easy, too short, you can go wherever you want, it's not rewarding, so you don't have a reason to play further on, the enemies are unpredictable and respawning everytime you leave a place, the same endbosses again and again, the controls are not direct and not very precise... don't know where to stop. I really hate this game. Cave Story was such a great game, but Nicalis disappointed me so much with all their other games! Maybe the do not publish just for me... I know. But imo this game deserves a -8!! Yeah! MINUS!
@frabbit I just like the game. I'm a big BeatemUp Fan and I was very disappointed about the latest BB and Blade Strangers and the controls. This one here was really afreshing. It's not a SNK or Capcom standard, but it's so much fun to hit Santa with the hand of God of his son! @SenseiDje all important gods are in. and I don't like big rosters.
This game is awesome and easily a 9. We had so much fun last weekend playing this. Better than Blade Strangers or Blazblue XTB because it has real moves. Just the loading times and the missing onlinemode are annoying, the rest is fantastic: great roster, great combosystem, easytolernhardtomaster mechanics, fast, always funny. You must be a fanatic Christian or you are not into fighting games if you're not seeing its potential!
This title brings brutality on a whole new level. Was really extreme watching it. Never thought they could top MKX, but that's here and there a little bit to much for me. Maybe if I were 15 again, when MK1 shows up on SNES, it wouldn't bother me, but when you get older you're not the open minded for violence and gore anymore I believe.
Born in 1980 and bought it because of this review. I remembered it as a good game and sometimes it's better when it stays as a fantastic game in your memory. The last time I felt so bored I played Celeste or Hollow Knight or Dead Cells. Every single Game is praised as a nearly perfect game. 9 means for everyone to me. Not just for some hipsters.
Bought it and had a lot of fun for 5-6 hours. It's very straight and you get 100% very easy. I liked it a lot and it's more a 8/10 to me, because I like this kind of short games more than replayvalue, backtracking, customise games, where I have to spend hours with no content. I feel lost and wasting time while playing just to earn money to buy a new upgrade for my character...
I'm so happy that I sold my game when it was full price. Don't get me wrong I had a lot of fun, I really love this game, but after three days with all ships, pilots and weapons I had 100% the hype was over for me. Played it with a friend and it was an awesome time, but it was just too less content, now it's too late.
More Okami - which I hated on PS2, now I'm loving it - and Splatoon 2. Never liked Smash and I'm very disappointed about Everspace. It looks awesome but it bores me af.

This looks so amazing and I'm so hyped for this, but it's just too expensive and has no Coop mode. I will grab it when it gets a discount.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 23rd)
X Morph Defense and Tetris 99 in between. I really like X Morph - looks cool and plays very intuitive. The best thing are the Boss battles!

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About The Metroid Prime 4 Delay?
It's sad, but on the other hand it's good. Retro Studios will hopefully create an outstanding MP4 and maybe we will see an HD Trilogy this year.
