Damn this sounds great. Was thinking of getting it on PS5 as I have some credit there. But, man, I might have to get this on Switch, which has kind of become my rogue-like machine.
Played this on Apple Arcade and couldn’t get into it. Interestingly was only called Scrappers on iOS so was surprised to see the PixelJunk label on it.
Puzzles are so much more fun with the new abilities. Also like that they are short. Some of the BotW puzzles were unbelievably long. I absolutely hated the elephant Divine Beast Vah Ruta thing, for example.
I’m not a big puzzle person so it really affected my enjoyment of BoTW. But as other have said, I’ve come to enjoy the TotK puzzles.
Been playing this on my Series X via GamePass and it’s fantastic. Really a shame it doesn’t perform well on Switch. I might have been down to rebuy it to have on the go.
I’ve actually never played any of these games (well, a bit of X on Wii U). Debating on jumping right in with this one or starting with the Definitive version of the first game.
Funny, I’ve been playing this and am enjoying it for being a different take on roguelikes. The combat system where you collect creatures, level them up individually and decide if you want them in your normal rotation or as a special attack - all of that is something new to the genre and adds a layer of strategy. It’s fun, addicting and cute.
It’s a roguelike, sure. But doesn’t feel like any other one I’ve played. So I’ll have to disagree with the conclusion that it doesn’t do anything special. It does. Great game!
@TowaHerschel7 Not sure if you know it but there’s a ton of different assists you can turn on in settings for Celeste that can make it a lot easier. Even too easy if you wanted it to be.
Wow. People are being pretty harsh on this one. Not saying it’s for me either but it has a 4.7 / 5 with 21,000+ reviews on Apple Arcade so must be doing something right.

Re: 129 Switch Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's Cyber Deals Sale (North America)
Only game I really want right now is Star Ocean Second Story R, but guess it’s too soon for a sale on it. Maybe at Christmas.
Re: 129 Switch Games You Should Pick Up In Nintendo's Cyber Deals Sale (North America)
Good list. Persona 4 Golden has the wrong price though. Says $5.99, which I immediately jumped to buy then saw it’s actually $12.99.
Re: Switch Online Is Expanding The N64 Library With Rare's Jet Force Gemini
I would have loved to try this. A damn shame it’s only been announced for Japan.

Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Out Next Year, But There's No Mention Of A Switch Release
Maybe Netflix didn’t want another portable version other than their own and paid to keep it off Switch.
Re: Review: MythForce - A Decent Roguelite Buried By An Absolutely Dire Switch Port
Almost bought this on Switch. Dodged a bullet on this one! Might grab it at some point on another platform.

Re: Talking Point: Is Tears Of The Kingdom The Scariest Zelda Game Ever?
What’s truly scary is how many articles this site will continue to milk out of this game.

Sorry folks, just a remake for…. Apple Arcade!
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Use Of Licensed Music In A Switch Game?
Just checking my brain power. Mad World was for a Gears of War commercial, right? (Obviously not s Switch game)
Re: Review: Ghost Song - A Potent Mix Of Metroid And Dark Souls, But Maybe Not On Switch

Re: Review: Easy Come Easy Golf - Everybody's Golf Spiritual Successor Scores A Birdie On Switch
Have this on Apple Arcade and honestly it’s really good! Definitely better than Mario Golf Super Rush IMO.

I played this a bit on Apple Arcade and was bored to death and deleted it rather quickly.
Re: Review: Tinykin - A Wholesome Platforming Spin On Pikmin
Love this game! Puts a smile on my face every time I play it. Playing on Xbox via GamePass so unsure of the Switch port quality.
Re: Review: Splatoon 3 - The Pinnacle Of The Series And Switch's Slickest Shooter
How are these games using traditional controls instead of motion controls? I’m not big on motion stuff.
Re: Feature: 25 Years Of GoldenEye 007 - 25 Facts You Didn't Know (Or Forgot You Knew)
Where’s the new port you cowards?!?
Re: Backlog Club: Have You Seriously Not Played Portal Yet?
What makes both of these games is not just the ingenious puzzles but the story and narration. Brilliant writing and laugh out loud funny.
Re: Japanese Charts: Live A Live Sales Come To Life As This Week's Best-Selling Game

Now I actually got stuck in the demo, lol (can’t seem to find a key for a door in the Japan story).
Re: Feature: What Is Live A Live? Everything You Need To Know (And Maybe More)
Played the demo for a bit today. Really enjoying it so far!

Re: Poll: What Are You Hoping To See In The Nintendo Direct Mini?
Goldeneye. That is all.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini To Air Tomorrow, June 28
Rare is third party so guess that doesn’t rule out the deal for the Goldeneye re-release on Switch and Xbox to show up on this.
