I've played it a bit. I still hate the art but it's not as bad as it looked in the videos, I'll give them that. I like the music and voice acting. The interface is too simple. I think there's a good game in there somewhere, I'll give it a fair chance
There's barely any mention of the half baked and misleading online mode in the comments. You can't squad up with your mates for a true 4vs4 and they totally lead us to believe that it was gonna be possible.
@PineappleLake looks like crap not gonna lie. they made a better looking game 20+ years ago. with today's tech and development tools you can't tell me this is the best they could do, even if there are budget constraints. this is indie level art, I doubt they opted out for this style based on style alone. seriously disappointed
@The_BAAD_Man that's what I was thinking, making a new console with 2 cartridge slots or at least some kind of backwards compatibility. the switch library is massive, it takes a while to go through all the games if you're busy
they're killing it and I'm very happy about that. I only wish there were more first party titles, a new mario, donkey kong etc. could they make it to 200 million? I sure hope so
Never felt more sorry for reading the comments. Anyway I hope it's as good as they say and I applaud the devs for trying something new. I'd like to see more gameplay before I decide to buy it or not, I want to see the character animation a bit more
@Bunkerneath I played San Andreas on the series s and it isn't half as bad as the internet crowd made it out to be. Sure there's some bugs, frame rate drops are very rare... it is a bit janky but that's a very old game. Could they have done a better a job? Absolutely
so what's the deal with these AI articles? running out of things to talk about? I think the staff can write solid stuff when they feel like it. You can always do more reviews when there's nothing going on. I'd rather read articles about transgender representation in video games than this AI bs

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?

Re: Fall Guys Free-To-Play Reaches 20 Million Players In The First 48 Hours
Fun game. Glad it came to the switch but let's be honest, it's the worst version of the game. If you have any other choice play there.
