@FishyS ever played Fez? It would suit your puzzle tastes.

May wait on a sale and more reviews on this game. It sounds interesting

My six year old daughter told me TOTK is a lot better than Minecraft so it must good 🤣

Yes we’ve been playing Zelda

Love me a deck builder.
This looks right up my street. Payday tomorrow. Boom

One thing I’ve learnt from working in data myself. Is that almost all companies will bend and manipulate data so it fits whatever narrative they want to portray even if the data says otherwise.

I haven’t checked mine yet but I reckon easily 70/80 hrs. I think you could spend hundreds of hrs exploring the underground alone. The game is huge.

Next news story ‘Players spend 95% of their time in Hyrule creating weaponised Dongs’.

Will you Snail? is worth a look for the hardcore platforming inclined.

TOTK! Yesterday I had the best play session. It involved making jet skis and boats and all the drama in between and it was glorious. It exemplified how the ultra hand ability changes the game, your strategy, your goal. Just like BOTW did, TOTK has boosted my love for gaming yet again.
In cooling off periods from Zelden Ring, I’m trying to polish off the third modifier crown in Wildfrost, which is no easy feat!
Happy gaming everyone!

This is basically a John Lewis Christmas advert and I’m all for it

Wildfrost for me. Highly recommend to any fans of Slay The Spire, Monster Train etc.

Breath of leaks in the wild

I’ve been playing Wildfrost. Bah gawd it’s brutal. I won’t be deterred

One particular parched Instagram user referred to him as Ganondaddy. I don’t think I can ever unsee it

Was made for Mario fans, and did the job well. If anything, it’s made me want to replay every Mario game in my library including the Donkey Kong games. My 5 year old daughter wants to do the same (obvs for the first time) 😁

I would happily take a Seth Kong spin off. The Kongs were the biggest highlight of the Mario movie for me

@JohnnyMind thanks fam, Dredge got my vote

I’ve yet to properly tuck into Have a Nice Death, the art style is stunning.
Having lots of fun with Dredge, it’s one of those calming chill games that turns into an absolute nightmare pretty quickly. The atmosphere building is superb.
Dead Cells Return to Castlevania is also another highlight for me and it’s given me the Inspiration to finally tackle the 3rd Boss Cell.

Dredge for me, looking forward to playing it.

MBCU confirmed?? Hah

2017 was the year my love for gaming was rekindled and the flame is still stoked

A link to the past on the Gameboy. Not sure which dungeon but apparently I was meant to be looking for a hidden bomb wall.
Had to call a Nintendo hotline for this.
Kids will never know the pain of having no Internet.
Edit: links awakening***

I’m proud to say I’ve stuck to my NY resolution so far and not bought anything new. So i’m tackling my ridiculous backlog.
XC3 is the first one im aiming to finish. Just about to enter chapter 5 I think.
Will no doubt be on Factorio in between.

I hope the new update tackles late game content.
The cult aspects become pretty pointless in its current state.

In no particular order
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Factorio
Rogue Legacy 2
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak
Prodeus

I’ve had this unopened on my shelf for months now. I really should play it

Aeterna Noctis deserves a re-review. Your 5/10 is criminal. It is a beautiful metroidvania for the hardcore.

Can I do the same for Cracktorio, sorry I mean Factorio?

My Doom collection is now complete 😁

The headline almost gave me a heart attack. It’s written like he’s died.
I never realised how much I respected this man until reading the first two thirds of the headline so I guess thanks for that.
Happy birthday legend.

This was an instant purchase for me. It’s taking everything from the first game and improved on it.

@Teksetter from what I know of the game, you should expect the unexpected with this one. There’s more hidden under the roguelike/deck builder exterior it first portrays.

Finally succumbed to expanding my switch storage to 1TB. I unfortunately lack a desktop computer, so I am currently downloading my whole back catalogue.
Factorio is nestled on the internal storage so will only be playing that while the library downloads.

I’ve got all top three. All worth it! Factorio though, mein Gott it’s addictive

AC:NH was the perfect game for me. Beginning of lockdown, and beginning of my separation from my evil ex wife, I played it non stop for 5 months and it served as a massive coping mechanism for me. It got me through the worst of times and i’ll always be grateful.
Unfortunately whenever I feel tempted to revisit it, I associate the game with my terrible separation.

I watched a bit of Ryukahr playing Mega Man 4 last night. So I impulsively bought the entire mega man collection this morning on switch while on sale. I’m ashamed to say it’s a series I’ve never played and I’ve gamed for 30 years.

Between getting started with them, it will be a mix of Prodeus, Factorio & Signalis. 😁

Happy weekend everyone!

This game is top tier!

I highly recommend to anyone playing this to use a controller with back paddles on with button remapping. If you can remap A+Y to the back paddles, this will benefit you greatly. This means you can use the analogue to move the cursor as well as use the A+Y buttons. I’m using the 8bitdo Pro2. This has completely changed the game for me. It’s not PC level accessibility but it’s a start.
The only time the game loads is in the boot up screen, loading save files is pretty instantaneous (not sure if it will be longer for bigger save files). It’s no longer than it takes games like Terraria or minecraft (which have god damn long load times). Frame rate has been perfect so far but we’ll see how it goes when the factory grows.
The game is digital heroin and I recommend to anyone with even the smallest interest in resource management/building games. Perfect game to unwind and listen to your favourite music to.

The never ending staircase in Super Mario 64 (although technically a hub area than a level). For some reason, scared the hell out of me as a kid

Can’t wait to get this today!

Mario Maker 3 please 🙏

This is huge.
The weakest part of the game for me is the Dark Souls/Zelda esque adventure. And all I wanted was pure platforming (because it’s superb). This is awesome news!

This is confusing as I’ve been playing this for a couple weeks now.
It’s a god damn good shoot em up.
Performance and some of the visuals should be easily patched.
It plays and looks a lot better in handheld mode.
My god the gore is so satisfying (imagine splatoon but you’re painting blood and guts all over the stages) and the guns just feel amazing. This isn’t one to miss if you like Doom/Quake

It’s a cool game but the cult building becomes pointless in the end and becomes monotonous. I tried to push through but late game the frame rate makes it borderline unplayable, even after last patch. Lots of crashing in dungeons as well

I was playing Disco Elysium last night and an NPC I was chatting to brought up a song called ‘Hail Holy Queen’ by an in-game fictional Artist. Considering how genius the writing and structure of Disco Elysium is, I wasn’t surprised to find the song on Spotify, performed and recorded by the aforementioned Sea Power.
Great game. I hadn’t realised the soundtrack was done by Sea Power until now

I bought Prodeus yesterday on switch , bit of a risk as reviews weren’t in yet but it has reviewed extremely well on other platforms. Not one single regret.
If anyone is a fan of Doom, Quake or any retro shooters, you will love Prodeus, I am actually blown away by it.

Downloaded Easy Come, Easy Golf yesterday and first impressions are great. Already seems like a better golf game than Mario Golf

Monster Train: First Class. Has to be 2nd best deck building rogue-like on the switch. 2nd to the superb Slay the Spire.

I agree with everyone else. Games have genres. They are not ‘insert leading game of its kind-likes‘.

Mario Maker 2 is my favourite switch game, Will check this out for sure!
My five year old daughter has now got right into Mario and loves the game too!

@Ooyah
You got in there first, you da real MVP 😁

If the doctor didn’t tell him to ‘get out of my practice’ in a London cockney accent, I don’t wanna know
