Re: Review: Dandara (Switch eShop)

I kept wondering if Dandara could actually walk & run because of the trailers never showing her doing so. Admittedly, that kind of turns me off of this game, but if it ever gets a decent discount, I may try it out.

Re: Nintendo Download: 30th November (North America)

I pre-loaded XC2 a while back, but seeing as I'm not very far into Skyrim, it might be quite a while before I begin playing XC2. I'll also be downloading Syberia 2 & Nine Parchments. I have Star Ghost on Wii U, but may at somepoint get it on Switch. I sure wish both Trine games, Splintercell: Blacklist, the Batman Arkham games & NFS Most Wanted, would all come to Switch, too, because I'd like the option to be able to play them on the go. Not to mention DKC Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Yoshi's Wooly World, Guacamelee, The Fall (part 1), The Swapper, Stealth Inc 2, Smash 4, Toki Tori 1 & 2, Steam World Dig, Steam World Heist, The Swindle, Child of Light, LoZ: WW HD, LoZ TP HD, & more.

Re: Review: Maria The Witch (Switch eShop)

I believe this was the first third party game that was available to pre-purchace. When I saw that on the eshop I wondered why the developers even bothered, because I can't imagine anyone actually would've taken advantage of that.

Re: Review: Monopoly for Nintendo Switch (Switch)

I feel the opposite of the reviewer. I prefer to play video game board games over real board games BECAUSE of the (usually) minor additions like animations. I would much rather play video games over board games any day. I just no longer have any desire to play real board games — I think their pretty boring now — unless they are made into a video game. I played one game of Monopoly on Switch so far, & I enjoyed it (even though the AI won). I would probably rate it a 6 or 7.

Re: Elliot Quest Begins Its Switch Adventure This Week

I love this game & will be buying it tomorrow for my Switch. I have it on Wii U but got stuck due to the game breaking bug, but after the patch I was still unable to progress, so I never beat it. (I guess I was supposed to delete my save file & start over, but I didn't want to have to repeat all of the progress I had made.)

Re: Wulverblade Cuts Its Way To The Switch eShop Next Week

@joey302 For whatever it's worth, I downloaded Earth Atlantis, & I think it's pretty fun. I like the overall atmosphere, the sketchy look, & the music is nice, too. Sure, it could use some improvements (such as the mini-map, the strange turning mechanic, & maybe make the areas that are passable stand out as compared to areas that you can't pass through) but overall, as far as fun factor goes, I'd rate it a 7 or 8.

And while I do enjoy the occasional shooter, they're not one of my favorite genres, So I rarely play them, let alone beat them. But for some reason, I intend (& have the desire) to play this game through to completion.

@fullyilly I've had my eye on this game since it was revealed. I live in the US, so don't know too much about British history other than as it pertains to America, so Wulverblade has my curiosity piqued, as I like history. It also looks like a great game to play, with some awesome sound effects & music (judging by the trailer).

Re: Review: Quest of Dungeons (Switch eShop)

I downloaded it when it released, & I think it's pretty fun. I've only played easy mode, though, & completed it with the wizard (the easiest one to use, imo). I've tried all 4 characters (+ the bonus character that unlocks for the mansion levels), but they seem to be more difficult beat the game with.

Re: Review: Troll and I (Switch)

kevin74

I downloaded this game 2 or 3 days ago. I agree with the review score. The game has promise, but just fell short. The controls are fairly cumbersome. The voice acting & story are decent enough. The graphics are sub-par, but passable. The frame rate occasionally stutters. When climbing (especially with Troll), it gets a little frustrating at times because of how slow the characters move. Overall, it is beginning to get a little tiring & repetetive. Not sure if I'll end up finishing it, or not. The fact that autosave points are not more frequent means that when you die, you may have to restart too far back that you might not feel like trudging back through cumbersome areas — at least that's how I feel.

So, overall, I would also rate this game 4/10. While I do find it somewhat enjoyable despite its flaws, it is beginning to wear on me. To sum it up in one word (I used it a couple of times already) — cumbersome.

Re: Unepic and Ghost 1.0 Are Heading to the Switch eShop

@Al_Godoy I died a LOT fighting that brain monster on the hardest difficulty setting, but each time I experimented with different tactics, & eventually figured out that a certain spell worked VERY well against him (I think it was one that generated coins, or something like that), & I got to the point where he became very easy.
