@Fazermint I'd like to hear your problems with Hollow Knight. I tought the game was good, but I'm really interested what the game's "design flaws" are in your opinion.
@nab1 I agree (nearly) wholeheartedly. I have a similar expierience with Azure Striker Gunvolt, whenever someone says the game is great, I just get reminded by the shallow level design and music (the bosses were great tho). It was pretty much a mediocre Mega Man Zero game, kind of similar with Axiom Verge, it being just an "ok" Metroid game. While I appreciate it goes the stretch to recreate the feeling of getting lost, It does it in possibly the worst way possible, with generally unclean layout and passages that you need to return much later in the game.
While i respect the devs intention of exploring the possibilites, but it just sounds really empty considering how level design in Forces looks worse than Generations so far. Not to mention, it seems like the devs don't know what 3D Sonic is supposed to be anymore.
Honestly Fast RMX doesn't quite catch the appeal of F-Zero completely. While the sense of speed is captured rather well (I would preffered if they've done it with less blur...), but it doesn't have the 30 racer chaotic competition, which is why GX is more fun and frantic game.
The only part about the game that's worrying me are the avatar stages. Otherwise s far Sonic Team's been good with the Modern Sonic formula and imo they haven't put out a bad game in last 9-10 years. Anyway, looking forward to it.
@Black_Dragon_Joe I know it's a bit late, but I mostly agree with you. Tho I've still enjoyed my rather short time with the game (dropped it on my second dungeon, not even BotW open world can keep me interested for long) despite the game's shortcomings.

I'll buy the original for 7 bucks on Wii U.
Re: Darkest Dungeon is Another Critically Acclaimed Download Heading to the Switch eShop
I heard it's extremely repetetive later on and relies on grinding. Still probably good for 10-20 hours.
Re: Hardware Review: The SNES Classic Mini Is The Perfect Link To The Past
Too bad the thing is 140 bucks in Poland.
Re: Place Your Bets and Check Out the Casino Forest 'Classic' Stage in Sonic Forces
It looks.... extremely mediocre. It's mostly bumpers with cheap looking assets and rings put throughout the stage with no tought. Also that music, ew.
Re: Editorial: The SNES Classic Mini, Star Fox, and Downsides to Being a Mega Drive Kid
@theberrage Genesis is more rad tho.
Re: Ultra Street Fighter II Had A Better UK Debut Than Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite
@Anti-Matter Don't worry, they'll get their money back from SFV/MvC:I tournaments.
Re: Ultra Street Fighter II Had A Better UK Debut Than Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite
Ugly art style, no X-Men, games has little content, no wonder it doesn't do well.

Nice.
Re: First Impressions: Hell in a Handbasket - DOOM on Nintendo Switch
Eh, I guess it's acceptable for a handheld, but as someone who will use Switch mainly docked, it just doesn't cut it.
Re: Random: Just Because You Can Mash-Up Zelda And GTA Doesn't Mean You Should
I like how people point out this mod is pointless even tho it's obvious from the start.
Re: Guide: Where to Pre-Order Your Super NES Classic Edition

Re: Feature: The Complete History of Rockstar Games on Nintendo Platforms
@Anti-Matter Don't worry, once they hit puberty they'll probably start playing those violent games again.

Re: Feature: The Switch Report - Six Months of Nintendo's Hybrid System

Re: Switch's Latest Exclusive Is Based On A German Quiz Show
Finally, a quality game for the Switch.
Re: Secret Of Mana Is Getting A 3D Remake, But Guess What Console It's Not Coming To
@Anti-Matter I don't think some random people boycotting on Nintendo news site is a punishment for Sony.

Re: Video: Check Out the Opening Cinematic for Sonic Mania
The intro song compared to the other songs they've shown is forgettable :v
Re: Axiom Verge Launches on Switch on 17th October
Gonna pass, it didn't impress me originaly on PC, It came off as worse version of Metroid, It's still a good game tho despite it's shortcomings.
Re: Nintendo Unveils Gorgeous Samus Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL
@DonFernando Pure gold.
Re: First Impressions: Slicing Our Way Through Fire Emblem Warriors
Eh, so far the game looks worse than Hyrule Warriors, maybe because i can't be bothered to care for setting and characters of FE.
Re: Here's What Those Lovely New amiibo Do In Metroid: Samus Returns
Oh boy, a 15$ difficulty setting, great.

Re: Mighty No. 9's Long Overdue Kickstarter Reward Sums Up The Game In General
Imo the game was decent, but this is just sad.

Didn't like the song at first at all, but more i listen to it i actually like it now, and it's not like cheesy rock isn't new to Sonic.

lol
Re: Review: Splatoon 2 (Switch)
Eh, the first game was ok, seeing it's more of the same I'm probably gonna pass this time.
Re: Former Project M Devs Unveil Icons: Combat Arena; It Sure Looks Like Smash Bros
In gameplay department it probably will be good, but if somebody has already Smash then there's no real reason to buy it. Hope I'm wrong.
