Finally! December will be a good month with the release of this game and Soul Reaver.

9/10, just because of the heavy blurry effect when you are using Shadow at full speed. It's pretty much what I wanted from a Sonic game. Would be 10/10 even with that thing if it had a Chao garden haha.

Awesome game, my only con is that it gets too blurry when Shadow is at full speed. It's understandable, but I would have loved that it wasn't so much.

Why are these games popular? Genuine question. They seem to be classics but never heard to of them until now. I enjoy good shooters so I'm definitely interested.

I'm enjoying this game so much. Every level feels like an amusement park and the feeling of speed is so satisfying.

I really enjoyed the original game, so as soon as it performs well on Switch I'll gladly play this new version.

Looks cute and fun so I might get it eventually. It's always nice to play decent 3D platformers.

I have heard about this game difficulty spikes but I think that I won't mind them that much so I'm still getting this as soon as I'm able. Glad to see that it performs well which was my main concern.

@Zadaris I agree. I think it's important to understand that, while children are more susceptible, they do develop common sense and it really isn't healthy to abuse censorship. As long as parents are involved and aware, children should be able to grow exposed to cartoons and other content that doesn't apply in a real context.

As for Amy I also like the times that they develop her more but I have nothing against also keeping these negative traits like being obsessed with Sonic. I do understand that tropes can get tiring though, but personally I didn't mind this one. Since this story already happened, I would have preferred that they respect what it already is and opt for natural character development and change in future stories.

Will you be getting the game on release date? I'm quite hyped about it haha. I've been wanting to play a good game with Shadow for a while.

@AdolBannings-Laylee Many of us don't live in first world countries and even if we do, still have more serious problems. Still, it doesn't make sense to not complain about anything because there's always more serious problems than that. There's room to discuss and disagree about many things and I'm sure that you have and will complain about things that are insignificant compared to others problems, and why shouldn't you? It's your life, time and energy and they matter to you. I do agree that some people get too invested, but pointing out nonsensical changes and complaining is appropriate and a way of making these companies stop doing that stuff. Not buying the game only says that you aren't interested in the product, not why, so it really doesn't work as people think.

As for trying to use real world logic on cartoons and games, all I can ask is that if you realize how bland and boring they'd be if you follow those standards all the time. It's just slapstick humour and characters need their quirks and over the top behaviour in these kind of games.

Also, the user that pointed out the irony of why changing those things if they are so insignificant them is absolutely right.

I seriously can't wait to play these games. I've been wanting a port for many years. Honestly, I enjoyed them way more than most Zelda games.

We should definitely complain about censorship, specially when there's no reason behind it.

That being said, I don't think that not buying the game sends the message. All it says is "I'm not interested in a Sonic game" as Sega isn't able to read people's minds to know the exact reason why they didn't buy it. I think that it's more effective to constantly complain on their social media, specially if a lot of people do it. They don't go out of their way to understand why something didn't sell well and only react to noise and things pointed out in their faces and even if they did, they simply won't keep trying if something isn't profitable enough.

Yeah, already pre-ordered. It's a shame that it doesn't release early on the Digital deluxe for Switch.

@TheExile285 Sorry, I haven't. Hopefully it's the same as it is how most people play on Switch. I'd suppose that if there's a significant difference in performance someone should have mentioned something by now, but that's just speculation.

There's already videos on YouTube of the game running on Switch. From what I've seen and people that got it early (physical ( have said, it's pretty stable and looks good.

@Dm9982 The game saves frequently so you just have to repeat little segments whenever you die, specially on encounters.

For anyone on the fence, I've been playing it and it's very enjoyable and creative. Definitely a good horror game for the season. I thought that the simple graphics might have prevented me from getting into it but that wasn't the case at all. My only complaint is that it's a bit short but for the price point I think that it's fair. It also has a ton of different outcomes so it's replayable.

Nice, it's a pretty fun fame although it takes a lot of time to grind new abilities. It would be great if they improve performance and correct bugs, but I'm definitely interested in more content.

@LavenderShroud Nice, I really miss playing the game. I'm downloading it right now again haha.

There's like 10 people at a time on XenoVerse 2 servers, at least when I used to play on PS4 and then on Switch a couple years ago. How is the game still profitable enough to make new content and keep the servers alive? I'm not criticizing that they are still updating it, it's actually great.

This game looks so weird, but in a fun way.

@electrolite77 It was already explained in the previous posts by both of us and it seems chose not to read it. It's not about a consensus and nobody here is going after her. I don't see anyone supporting that either so you are directing that at the wrong people. We are simply discussing about her review and if you paid attention, it isn't about her not liking the game. Neither about perfect objectivity, which was actually mentioned in my first comment directed to you so it does feel like you didn't pay it attention and that's necessary to try to understand the other person's point of view regardless of disagreeing with it. I'm taking my time to read yours for example.

"Somebody has a different opinion on a came than someone else. So what? That's life."

Well, that also applies if someone criticizes a review. You are making a bigger deal out of it that someone pointing out why they disagree with a review and why personally, I would dismiss it. In my opinion, I think that her review reads more like an article to express why she hates party games instead of an actual evaluation for the product and feels like something that is looking to give a considerably different score compared to the rest for attention. Could I be wrong? Of course, but that's how I perceive it and so what if I do? As you said, it's just an opinion and that's life. I can guarantee you that you are giving it more importance than she actually does. She's doing that for a living, so her "opinions" will be exposed to the world and their validity questioned. That happens to anyone that shares it in a public space, just as it is happening right now with mine.

Your entire point is that it's just an opinion, ours is that a professional review has more aspects to it.

@electrolite77 It should be a professional review though

@Summer235 Just because some of us are pointing out why we disagree with that review and why it seems unprofessional doesn't mean that we are angry. At least I can assure you I really don't have any strong feelings about it and I don't see any indicator that others feel that way. Also, going against the norm just for the sake of it is childish and fake. There's nothing wrong with being on the minority, but doing it without good reasons will lead to people pointing it out. The reviewer is free to feel and enjoy whatever they want, but a score has to make sense and that one is really on the extreme side for a game that has so many technical, measurable aspects done right.

@electrolite77 It's definitely an opinion and everyone has right to have them, but reviewers should try to be more objective than the average gamer. Of course it's practically impossible to avoid personal preferences and in the end it will come to their perspective, but at least they should be able to give credit where it's due. I checked that review, an it is evident that the person dislikes Mario Party games and maybe even board games in general as she even criticized factors like luck, which are present in all of these type of games because she focuses on that instead of trying to understand the appeal of it and deliver an informative perspective for both fans and people that dislike them. A 4/10 is too low for such a polished product with great presentation and so much content. I genuinely can't justify her math.

When I checked the Eurogamer review it's pretty evident that she dislikes the concept of Mario Party games as she was hating on aspects that are present on board games like waiting or things that are defined by luck. I'm not even a fan as I'm barely knowledgeable about it because of my very limited experience with it, but I understand the concept and how it works in general and the review felt really unprofessional. Even if you dislike this type of games, giving a below average score to a game with excellent performance, presentation and a lot of content makes it clear that the reviewer isn't making an effort to be as fair as possible despite of personal preferences.

@VoidofLight I think that they count on that. What better way to get free, effective publicity than telling people not to talk about something when it's a sure thing that they will, to get everyone's interest and just letting them do all the work? They might get have some contingency measures though, just in case that too much is shared or something.

I love Shinobi... as a game.
That's all I have to say.

Love this game but there are way better TMNT figures out there.

In my opinion it's a good game that many people tend to hate on because they let themselves get influenced by other opinions and aren't able to admit that they feel different. The kind of game that people say "I enjoyed it despite of it being a bad game " or "it's not that bad, I had fun". I mean, jf you had fun, which is the main objective of a game it's not sounding like a bad game. If you consider that it's polished, had great graphics for it's time and improved controls over the most beloved RE (4) it's even harder to fathom why it's considered bad.

It does have a bad story. However, I've played RE games since the start and the bad story part and them falling into action at some point (usually at about the last third part of the game) is a thing in most of them. I do agree that this game has worse atmosphere than most entries (RE5 is worse) and that it does have even more action than most, but this series has always being ridiculous and really not that creepy once you were past 10 aside from RE7. It really isn't that different from past entries, specially once RE4 changed things.

I think those guys were the ones from Dusk right? I'm definitely interested.

Looks very promising

I really hope that this game runs properly on Switch. I've been dying for a Sonic game with Shadow for a really long time.

@Tasuki They never said that the characters were free. They said that there was a free update that adds remixes of the songs, which is true.

I was waiting for this collection for so long, I'm so happy that I can't describe it.

@Zach777 It's very good, specially the story and voice acting.

I love these games. These are one of the few that feel influenced by Souls games without being inferior copies. They are also outstanding as Metroidvanias and the sprites, general art direction and music are incredible. My only complaint is that the music volume is somewhat low.

It's s shame we'll never see ports of the LOR games that were from the PS2 era. Shadow of Mordor and War would be nice too.

@Truegamer79 Being "retro inspired" doesn't mean that it gets a pass missing stuff that makes a better game in general. It's inspired, as in, attempting to offer a classic experience but as a modern game, meaning that it also has to take advantage of modern features like Shredder's Revenge. Not to mention that many retro games have great sound effects so I don't see why it wouldn't be a problem here. It didn't even score baddly, just a couple points lower than better beat' em ups that do offer those things.

Online might not appeal to you, and yeah, it's great to have the person next to you but not everyone is able to play together all the time. Also, some people prefer online over split screen/couch co-op, like me. So even when I play with friends I do play online. And yeah, I grew in the 90s so I did experience those fun times. The thing is... online can be the same. If the person is there with you to joke and mess around it's as fun, only without a clumpsy divided screen or actually being able to roam around by yourself depending on the game.

@nhSnork It's not a matter of "juice left" or squeezing whatever you can, of course they should do that. It's great that it will keep on getting releases even with the Switch 2 out but the reality is that is a 7 year old console that was already somewhat weak on release and that it's hardware limits it a lot and it's obvious to anyone, spoiled or not. As for plenty of games to get for the library in the future, sure, there are many that they can still port but people gravitate more to new releases and those tend to be the most demanding. Switch is mostly getting older games and it would be an advantage to start getting more recent ones again. 7 Years and counting is a great lifespan, it's not like it's a ridiculous expectation to get an upgrade any time soon while expecting it to stay the same is simply less likely with each day. Switch's successsor already has significant upgrades to make to not be so far behind current consoles and massive production takes time, so I can guarantee you that whatever they are doing next will be released soon. I'd be willing to bet that there's no way that we end 2025 without it, specially with Nintendo's confirmation of it being announced within the fiscal year.

As for Zelda, both BOTW and Tears, they are beautiful games but they aren't impressive graphically wise. They have good performance (definitely not perfect despite of being exclusives) but it's the art style, gameplay and other aspects that made them stand out. They are above standards in terms of graphics, for the Switch that is.

As for retro compatibility I doubt they'll do that, but it would be great. I'd like if they release "Switch 2 upgrades" like with PS5 so that you can pay a smaller quantity of the game's value instead of buying it again for a better version in terms of performance and graphics.

@nhSnork Personally I do think that the Switch has overstayed it's welcome at this point simply because many games keep in getting more demanding hardware wise. I don't need 60 fps, but I want to be able to keep on enjoying new releases with a decent performance and it's getting harder for devs to make ports of bigger games. People look at miracle versions like Warframe and Witcher 3 and start demanding that to be the standard and it's unfair to them, not to mention that factors like the game's engine and other things make the optimization viable in some cases more than others.

In my case, if I'm able to just keep one console I'd be happy. I'm tired of Playstation and their practices and honestly I haven't touched my PS5 in some time because the Switch and handheld devices in general are much more convenient and comfortable. I could get a Steamdeck but again, I prefer having one console and they are also somewhat expensive here.

@Anti-Matter I understand that you have peculiar tastes but why so you keep commenting on articles about stuff that you don't like or understand just to tell us? Not saying that you can't do it Anti, but it's a genuine doubt because that's why people end up feeling animosity towards you. Specially because you aren't open to trying to understand other perspectives, which have been shared to you multiple times before. Some of us have taken the time to know you and respect your taste in games, so after all this time on the site it would help if you do the same for others so that you have a better interaction.

The reason why games with constant updates and new content are appealing is because they are still giving you reasons to keep on playing them. Not everyone plays for the same reasons, like in this case, which would be to reach an end. There's people that can't or won't be getting games very often. Besides, said games do tend to have an ending sometimes, they just take time to reach it or end up delivering side content even after their story has concluded.

In the case of Minecraft, it's a game that allows a lot of creativity. Kids all over the world, as well as adults, are constantly building things and personalizing their gaming experience in a way that not many games allow.

Woah, I didn't know this was a thing. It's a shame, I would have liked to check it and play for a couple hours If I had known.

Finally! I loved the first season quite a lot and the first series is absolutely fantastic.

Please, let it run properly on Switch. I'd love a decent 3D TMNT platformer.

@DripDropCop146 I'm sure you are aware but just in case, if the classic entries don't click with you I'd suggest to keep on playing the "Metroidvania entries" as they are quite different. Personally I enjoy both but prefer the latter.

I love Castlevania, but most of these special editions are full of stuff that look cheap and end up piling somewhere. An art book and a statue or articulated figure are pretty much all I'd want instead of many things that have little value. That's just my preference though.

Battle for the Grid is an underrated fighting game.

@Anti-Matter I don't have the 30th anniversary collection to compare, but I feel that it's a bit on the low volume side. It's not as bad as with other games as I can definitely hear everything well enough, but I'm at max volume in my OLED.

@-wc- Glad to know a fellow MGS fan! Honestly, I'd still revisit Twin Snakes even though I have my share of problems with it. The ones I miss the most are Peace Walker and 4 and getting them with the online functionality working again would be a dream come true. But I guess that's really unlikely haha.

Cheers mate!
