I played and finished LOTR Gollum this year on Series X. It wasn't that bad. It actually had good moments, some nice puzzles and the graphics were alright. What annoyed me most, was that climbing and stealth mechanics were too dominant and besides that, the Series X version had some real lighting issues. Some sections were a pain thanks to that. All in all, I would give it a 6-7/10.
I hope this works out. I the past, Sega games were mostly despised and ended up being bargains in the store shelfs. The last tries to bring back games like Shinobi, Altered Beast or else, we're absolutely successles. I'm absolutely looking forward to these games, as I'm a big Sega fan. But I also fear, this could be the last time, these franchises will return. Especially in times with subscriptions everywhere and stingy people.
@Vexx234 I still own it, as I own every Sonic game on Gameboy Advance. It's not a crap game, but also not special in my opinion. Far from being something like Powerstone
I watched a bit of gameplay. PS5 looks definitely better than the Switch. But besides some dated visuals, it doesn't look that bad. Can't be a 2/10 I'd say. They were also pretty mean on Dreamworks All Star Kart with 4/10. I have this game since yesterday and I actually really enjoy it. It's definitely not a 4/10.
@whatusaymark why? Game Mill is just the publisher, not the developer. And while I didn't play The Walking Dead, some games are good which are published by them.
Nice to read from the hardest Nintendo trolls, trash talking about a game they cannot play on their Switch. And why even bothering about a sales place?! MW3 is a great game, so everything is fine.
I guess the physical version will take a while to be available. But I'm not even sure, I wanna get this. Both SNES games are hard as hell. PART 2 is pretty unfair. Maybe the Mega Drive JP is the best of this collection.
Even if the Switch version looks way worse than the PS5 version, it's a shame it got scored this low here and even worse, people didn't buy it because of that. This game is way better than 4.
What a nice game. I'm right now into it on 3DS. Found the first hours a bit lacking in difficulty, but in the meantime it's harder and head really great puzzles and ideas.
Hmm, it would have been nice to hear how the single player compares to the first game. I was in the fence for this game and it's nice to hear, that Konami did a good job. The first game was pretty flawed at the beginning on Switch, but way better later on. The strap was the XBox One version where Master Chief was a playable character. So not sure if it's worth getting the first game again or the sequel.
@N8tiveT3ch what are you talking? The last one was on Wii U and was an outstanding game. Maybe another will come to the new Nintendo system, we'll see.
Yeah right, a 6. When I remember, what disappointing games got an 8 or 9 here, this seems ridiculous. I played several rounds of the demo and had no issues with the motion detection. I enjoyed it so much, that I'll pick it up this week.
It's kinda obscure, that Nintendo actually does something positive for existing Wii U owners after they cut down so many functions in the last years. God damn, I still hate them for closing the Miiverse. But as others already said. MK8 Deluxe is absolutely superior to the Wii U version. But I would play Splatoon 1 again.
@JokerCK I don't get if this is supposed to be sarcasm or not. But I'm around 70% completion of Gollum on Series X and I have to say that I'm enjoying this game way more than I expected. So far I'd give it a 7/10. It's not a perfect game, but also it's definitely not as bad as the critics said.
Petey Piranha looks like he adopted from a 3DS game. And the Athena course from tour also looks a bit cheap. But the rest is fine for me. I love the Daisy Cruiser course from Double Dash and that bathroom is also nice.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Cross-Play Release Window Confirmed, But There's No Mention Of Switch
I guess they know why. Most Switch gamers play over WLAN and the Switch connection is bad.

Re: Soapbox: 20 Years Later, Why Do We Still Not Have A New Sonic Battle?
Because it was a pretty mediocre game which doesn't really need a sequel
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Batman: Vengeance (GBA)
I always wanted to wake up on a Sunday morning and speculate, which Gameboy Batman Game has the best cover art.😁
I prefer the US one, looks better.

@PepperMintRex Did you play Nickelodeon Kart Racer 3 and if yes, which do you like better? Dreamworks or Nick 3?
Re: Review: DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing - Ain't The Sharpest Tool In The Shed
@Anti-Matter I bet you were one of those few people on this world, who bought the Monster High games on Wii U.

I don't really care about the Switch version.

But it was a private buy from a person who had the system for several years, but never opened it.

I enjoyed it so much, that I'll pick it up this week.
