Ori was one of my favorite games I have ever played. I rarely double dip on anything....this will be an exception as playing it on the go would be reason enough to 100% it again.
I gotta admit, I am not loving this drip campaign of returning character announcements. If they were all new ones I could understand, but just telling us someone is returning each week seems dumb to me.
I won’t get too excited here as this is just a rumor, however if even remotely true and we got a few of the smaller XBONE games on switch would be incredible.
Oh man this cannot come soon enough. I played through both GMC games in one night a few weeks ago and instantly wished I had more. This looks like a great progression on those short gems. Day 1 for sure
Im glad these all seem to be good games in their specific genres but none of them really speak to me as games I would enjoy... Back to my backlog while I wait for the slew of upcoming gems in the coming months.
I completed this game a couple of weeks ago and had trouble putting it down while playing. I bought it when it went on sale to try it out and it quickly became one of my absolute favorite switch games. I can not recommend this game enough to those on the fence.
I will say though I loved it I won’t be going back for this DLC most likely. Just too much to play now and I’m happy with the memory I have of this one as is
I have never played a Kingdom Hearts game but always been intrigued. I can safely say if they released the first two (ideally all the crazy upgraded ones) I would buy and try both on switch.
This was my game of the year last year (even though I think it launched on other platforms in 2017). It was one of the only games I feel I under paid for when I competed it....$15 is a steal for this game and when you throw in all of the free DLC it’s almost like stealing.
I will say to those who have not played, the difficulty is no joke, but patience and practice make everything possible in game and defeating the end boss was one of those “true gaming accomplishments”
The only "new" game I bought this month was Gunman Clive HD Collection. Though I beat both games in one sitting I still think it was a true gem and surprised it didn't even get an honorable mention on this list.
I plan on picking this up in the future once my backlog gets a bit lower (down to less than 10 games unplayed after beating SteamWorld Heist this morning!). I am glad to see they will be adding DLC down the line.
Is Phoenix Wright 1-3 Collection not confirmed for the west as well? Unless this has an English option this would be impossible for me to play if I import.... I really want this one and hope it's coming here
I don't know why but this game looks overly cheap to me and not desirable at all.... I will wait for a review or two to see how it plays but this does not pass my "eye test" at all...
This is one of those games when it was announced I had zero interest in, however seeing several reviews over the past week has made me very interested. I will keep an eye out for a future sale and might take the plunge in the future.
I completed 2 great games this week (Gunman Clive and Moonlighter) and am at the final boss of another in Severed currently. I will continue to move through my backlog and most likely move on to West of Loathing or Axiom Verge next which I got both on sale several months ago and their icons stare at me every time I check out the home screen.
Side note - Moonlighter is a game that should be played by all and I cannot recommend it enough. Zelda (2D) style dungeon crawling and then a shop management sim to sell your loot when you come back. The loop / hook is amazing and I could not put it down. Solid 9/10 in my book!
While I agree it was light on content, I will say the games here all looked pretty great. I will most likely pick up 5-6 of these around their launch and truly cannot wait for that SteamWorld RPG. Overall good little showcase, however I am ready for something a little more substantial for the next one
How much total gameplay (total hours) lies ahead in these two games? I have never played either and think I would enjoy them, however if I’m looking at 100+ hours I may have to hold off for a while as I simply have too much to play
I actually meet every requirement for this job other than speaking Japanese.... I would legitimately consider applying if it wasn’t required to move to Seattle (which I assume it is).
I used to drool over this game in the arcades when I was young. I should prob pick this up just to finally play through the first one. I just remember it always cost $1 per play and lasted like 2-3 min each run
Gunman Clive!!! Very excited to play through both of them this weekend. I am actually excited for a shorter experience after so many 10-20 hour games I have been playing
This is still on my wishlist and I fully anticipate getting it down the road. I actually don’t care for DLC overall with smaller titles. Once I finish the base game of an Indie title I am ready to move onto the next one!
I love platforms more than any other genre, however I have learned from Switch that a mediocre one just doesn’t cut it anymore. With so many great games out there middle of the road just doesn’t work for me. I will keep an eye out for a rainy weekend and a sale but will certainly pass for now
Really enjoyed this game a lot when it came out. I made it to the end boss 3 times throughout my 20ish hours and finally gave up after being one hit away from beating him before dying. Just the feeling of going back to the beginning empty handed after such an epic run was too crushing for me to return to
Statement from GameXplain on their Youtube page...
"Hey everyone! We've pulled the video about the potential data mine earlier of a new DLC character in Mario Tennis Aces as we've since received evidence that the entire thing may have been fabricated. We're not 100% confident in that information, but to prevent the spread of potential (and likely) misinformation, pulling the video seemed to best for the best."
Completed Guacamelee 2 this past week (amazing by the way) and just booted up Max: Curse of the Brotherhood which I picked up on sale for $7 last week. I’m trying to know out a game a week to help kill my backlog a bit!
Love the look of The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human however it's only $1.00 on steam. I don't mind small surcharges for certain games, however it's silly they would have such a large difference. I will wait until they put it on sale down the line
I played one of these when it was free on PS+ several years ago and deleted it within an hour... 100% not for me, however always happy for "new" releases for those who enjoy them!
