@Sylamp The main mode has new pro rules to roll with, five new boards, and more interactivity and silliness than the old games. It's defo an improvement for sure.
@cosmograph Yeah, see these are all good games! This one is a very good idea, it just needs lots of refinement in shooting to keep it interesting, and something more than rote powers and stuff to upgrade. It's very bland.
The review has been edited and updated slightly to mention the leaderboards situation. Apologies that I didn't pick up on this issue, but as the game wasn't fully live it was impossible to tell with the leaderboards elements locked down.
@NDK It can, yes! You can change both sticks. There's omnidirectional or horizontal-only modes for aiming and turning, stuck sensitivity options and options to turn on/off rumble and motion.
@MeatSauce Ya, there's defo people playing it with no issues. It's an odd one. I cannot get past the start of Dynasty without it booting me at exactly the same point.
Just an update from my end, all modes except Diamond Dynasty now seem to be fine. And I will say it runs well when in-game and has cross-progression so this could end up being well scored For now though, worth a heads up until whatever is happening gets sorted out.
@Vyacheslav333 It may well arrive down the line. I think Chronicles mode,.if you're gonna remove something, was the best move. It's not ideal but it doesn't affect the quality of the gameplay.
@Jimgamer8 We didn't receive code pre-launch so we're making our way through the games now. Will have our verdict with you as soon as is humanly possible, but i can tell you from what I've played over weekend, Asylum and City are pretty much fine, as long as you can deal with the cutback graphics, lower framerate and a little stuttering. It's Knight that seems to be the main issue, haven't got to that one yet so will speak more in review.
@Westlondonmist We'll definitely be keeping on top of patches and revising where possible if things improve. You can expect an update on online once we've put it through its paces when it actually fully releases.
Folks, I gave the game an 8, I said the price is a little high considering its age and there's been no upgrades. I then said it's your own personal choice whether to go with it or not and that the game is highly recommended and worth playing. There's no scandal. No big deal. It's worth pointing out that it's a bit pricey, it's been the main talking point since the game dropped. If you've not played it before it's worth nabbing regardless of the price, and maybe even worth it to play portable anyway. All good. There's no drama.

@Anti-Matter As it says in the review, there are some motion controlled games, which can be turned off if you don't fancy them.

Re: Mini Review: Wild Bastards (Switch) - Void Bastards' Follow-Up Is A Bland Misfire
@Teksetter Well, I do hope you get on better with it than I did. It has got some decent scores elsewhere!

Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential
@PikminMarioKirby Yep, my bad! Turns out I was wrong on that one. That's what I get for assuming. It's been clarified now, I believe.
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential
@Mirastrix No worries. Have fun if you decide to go for it!

@Mario500 Hahaha. My apologies, I was hungry.
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential
@OctolingKing13 Nope. It's very obviously a reworking of an older game, not quite as polished as 3, but still very nice.
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential
@sketchturner Nah. It's a middle ground between those really. I cant see you being converted. It's very good though, if it happens!
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential
@Mirastrix Yeah they can be turned on and off.
Re: Review: Endless Ocean: Luminous (Switch) - A Meditative Marine Milieu, But Incredibly Shallow
@Weblaus Yeah, I have a feeling once people get their hands on it any high scores will become much more suspect than my giving it a 5.
Re: Review: Endless Ocean: Luminous (Switch) - A Meditative Marine Milieu, But Incredibly Shallow
@Highlar Well, I was excited for the same sort of relaxing experience, and I thought Endless Ocean 2 was ok, this is just really weak.
