Re: The Witcher Netflix Series Definitely Won't Be Adapting The Video Game Storylines

Seems a bit short sighted to me. I would expect that the Witcher fanbase will primarily come from the games. I am a fan because of the games and whilst I am an avid reader I haven't to date read the books.
On the flipside they are being honest to the source material but I can imagine some fans will be put off.
My biggest gripe...where is the second sword!!!
I am however, looking forward to the series and excited to see the direction it will take. I'll probably read the books as well.

Re: Review: Mark Of The Ninja: Remastered - A Stellar Stealth Hit That's Better Than Ever

I bought this game on Steam years ago but never really got into it or finished it. Bought it for switch on day 1 and have nearly completed it already.

I've been playing an equal split between handheld and docked and haven't once noticed any FPS issues.

This is really fun to play and suits the switch form factor. If stealth games are your thing then this is a must. Just Oxygen not included to go now... Please Klei!

@Galenmereth Thanks for the update! I've just completed it myself and loved every minute! You are right the motion controls aren't actually necessary but I still hold to the fact the I would drop a mark for the control scheme. Playing in handheld/controller mode you are unable to utilise all of the great moves that Mario has at his disposal.

What I don't understand is that the reviewer mentions the motion control system is not ideal in handheld mode and not intuitive using a pro controller but still gives it a solid 10. I play primarily in handheld mode and the motion controls are really bad! There aren't even alternative button combinations to recreate the same functions such as throwing Cappy upwards!!

@roadrunner343
I agree with you here. I am primarily a handheld player and the motion controls really don't suit this playstyle. It would be fine if there was an alternative button combination but the only way to throw cappy upward is to use motion controls. Whilst the game is brilliant and great fun to play, controller issues such as this should have cost the score at least 0.5.
