Enjoying it so far! So glad Microids bring out games like this. I think my favorite (so far) of the Agatha Christie games though is Poirot: The First Cases.
I wasn’t keen on the look of this game from announcement, but (strangely) reading Kate’s review made me want to pick it up! I repeatedly experienced a crash when trying to fish for the first time, but after doing things a bit differently got past it and haven’t had any trouble since. I actually really enjoy it! My character, Pearl Longholes (hehe) has had some fun in the 6 hours I have played so far, so looking forward to digging in more now that I have a little more time.
Played this a lot a few years back at our local leagues club. It’s great fun!! Will pick it up but it would be great if there were some extra features added to the home conversion. Doesn’t sound like it though. Still will grab it hopefully can get a physical cart.
Thanks PJ for the review. Always love to read your content. Wasn’t keen on this one until I read this, it is now on my wishlist for after I (finally!!) finish Xenoblade X.
Looks like a good time actually. Really hoping it turns out to be decent. On a side note, I reaaaally wanted to like Skull Island Kong, but that game is so busted.
Awesome pics and story. Thanks for sharing!! I was lucky enough to make it from home in Australia to Universal Hollywood as well as Florida but that was long before Nintendo themed areas were a reality. Possibly and Hopefully again someday!!
It feels like there’s a whole lot of good stuff from this gen that won’t be added to NSO. The list of 27 feels like it’s clutching at straws, but also theres some other things forgotten as pointed out by the comments above. Really hoping for lots of games to be released - would convince me to get a switch 2 😂
Firstly, I love these Catch Up Crew features. Please keep them coming.
Secondly, MGS1 is one of my most treasured gaming memories, but I am afraid to return to it as I feel like it would not have the impact it did back then Mmmj
Played this a lot when it first came out. I feel a little behind when I boot it up from time to time now. Not enough free time to get fully stuck back in. I already definitely got my moneys worth though (and didn’t cave to any micro transaction tomfoolery). Pretty great game overall.
I like it, reminds me of the YoGo gorilla. But I’m old and got used to the DK look from the Game and Watch we owned lol. Think it was Donkey Kong 2, brown on brown and had young DK rescuing old DK.
Edit: just looked up the price in that thing, maybe I should try and find it from my parents shed and list it on eBay haha.
@-wc- perfect comment. If I could have given it more than one heart I would have! I feel like I am qualified enough as an armchair expert to make a boneheaded comment like that haha.
By the way when I hit reply, the emojis suggested for wc are 🚾 and 🚽 hehe.
@Shaggy2 yay!! ICP raised a question about magnets some time ago, but since have done the homework required about how they work . Well done ❤️ ❤️ whoop whoop
Got this as a surprise gift at Christmas. It’s good fun actually, but pretty short lived. Could have been better with more content. Speaking of which, why is the DLC no longer purchasable??
I let my NSO sub lapse a few months ago, and this isn’t the first time. Will get it again if / when they add something I’m keen to play (Castlevania 64 perhaps?).
Only annoying thing of not having NSO is I want to play Endless Ocean online as that game is completely not worth it solo. Not that it’s much better online either unfortunately.
Great game this. I pulled up just short of the end though, so I must go back and finish it off at some point. Haven’t really looked into the DLC or other modes too much though.
I do enjoy some digital monopoly, but like others here I wonder the difference between this and the older version. Hope there are a lot of unlockables or something to keep it interesting.
This looks really great. I hope it turns out well. Also hope the physical gets a general release into Aussie shops without having to order from some fomo type company.
Really wanted to enjoy this game but all the different currencies, upgrades and so forth confused me way too much. Shame, as the actual racing seems decent.
