I thought it just was ok. I won’t go as far as to say it scratched that Zelda itch like blossom tales did. Even hyper light drifter and title dew 2 were far better experiences imo. Not a bad game though.
@JaxonH knowing you’re a SRPG fan, maybe give dark deity 2 a shot. May not hold your full undivided attention, but man it’s awesome. It suffered from launching the same day as silksong. Might be worth firing up while we wait for FF7
One of my absolute favorite games this year was dark deity 2. Shame it never got reviewed NL.
My favorite N game this year was probably prime 4 followed closely by DKB. The only issue with DKB is that I felt it overstayed its welcome by quite a few hours.
With Metroid Prime 4 now in my rear view mirror, I’ve started playing Wario World for the first time ever. It’s actually super fun, but can be clunky at times though. Boss battles are simple, yet still engaging.
On the Xbox front, I’m finally going back to finish my Rise of the Tomb Raider play through that I stopped a few months back. Also just fired up GTA Vice City for the first time since I was in HS. So much fun, and what a nostalgia rush. Merry Christmas everyone!
Its been a decent upgrade. One of the bigger things like mouse controls, I havent even used yet. Thats probably on me though. Other than that, its a bigger beefier system, and games are looking much better on it.
Still RDR2 on xbox which i can't tell if I'm enjoying yet or not. So far, it's been just go to point A from point B for me.
Also on xbox playing a decent amount of Fallout New Vegas which i am enjoying.
On switch 2 I'm playing my typical November game, OoT. I just finished the shadow temple last night, and should have the game completed by the time MP4 drops.
A tiny amount of Mario Golf 64 with the family as well..

I thought it just was ok. I won’t go as far as to say it scratched that Zelda itch like blossom tales did. Even hyper light drifter and title dew 2 were far better experiences imo. Not a bad game though.

@Lizuka @Lizuka 👍 just wanted to point out how hypocritical it is. Ignore away!
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At The Street Fighter Live-Action Movie, Due Out 2026
@Lizuka so, mad at racist jokes(from a comedian btw ) but also mad that the person playing Dan isn’t the race you think he should be? 😂

Its been a decent upgrade. One of the bigger things like mouse controls, I havent even used yet. Thats probably on me though. Other than that, its a bigger beefier system, and games are looking much better on it.
