Re: Feature: Which Nintendo Switch Game Did We Miss?

I feel like Kunai needs to be reviewed again, this time by someone who knows the difference between a roguelike and a metroidvania. Every single preview and review of it has referred to it as a metroidvania, including NL's preview, but the review on here repeatedly called it a roguelike and talked about 'each run'. How can I trust a review when the reviewer doesn't even seem to know what kind of game it is?

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Make The 'Switch Sacrifice'?

I did that very thing today. Been umming and ahhing about getting Witcher 3 for a few weeks but couldn’t decide whether to make the Switch Sacrifice or get in on Xbox One. My decision was partly helped by the fact that my Xbox One storage is 98% full and I don’t have an eternal HDD to increase it (and a 500gb one would have cost about £25). Then I discovered this morning that my wife had £18 worth of Tesco Clubcard vouchers so during lunch I popped into a branch and picked up the Switch version for £27!

Re: SteamWorld Quest Won't Release Physically At Launch Or At All On 3DS, No Loot Boxes Or Microtransactions

I love the world they've created with these games and the graphical style is absolutely gorgeous, it's a shame that this type of game just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Maybe the next game will be something along the lines of Super Steamworld Bros. Ultimate or Steamworld Dead Redemption! I suppose I'll have to play Steamworld Dig 2 for now to get that Steamworld fix.

Re: The Console Wars Book Is Being Developed Into A Television Series By Legendary

@BAN I’m currently about a third of the way through reading it and completely agree with your comments, I’m enjoying it but it’s not very well written. There's a technique the author uses over and over again that bugs me and goes something like “he sat back and reflected on the path that got him to this point in his life” before going on to give a back story on that person. I swear he's used it about 5 times so far. The TV series should do the classic trope of wavy lines dissolving into a flashback!
