Not the biggest MK fan, but what in the world is special forces???!?!? Time to watch a speedrun hopefully it is an awful top down contra style game....we will see
Lots of good games on here my favorite is probably The Messenger. Halfway through and I think Ninja Gaiden ragebound is just ok. Guess I was wrong about yukkalaylee, I thought that game was terrible. Lots of fun games on this list
Man maybe I'll have to turn on my Playstation. I can just wait, I like gaming on the switch more. After God of War and Jedi Survivor, nothing has really jumped out to me.
@Anti-Matter what an odd take...I didnt watch it but I'll rate it. Take a few minutes and get back with us.
I think the direct was well made, but I'm not interested in downloading the game as of yet. I would give the presentation an 8 for getting me to look at something I wouldn't have looked at.
Honestly I probably will not buy a physical game this generation. Digital is a lot easier for me and most games have patches at launch anyways. Also probably get a game a month and I like a lot of independent games that dont take up a ton of space.
I've liked all the paper mario games ive played, I dont really get the hate for oragami king but to each their own. On the other paper the mario&Luigi games have been misses for me. I havent played the newer one.
Who is buying this? These could be some of the worst games ever produced, and great there are 4 different games. They kept trying and trying. 150 dollar gag gift.
Oink Games is popular for making small little card games or ganes in small packages, they are very hit or miss. I didnt realize that they made a few video games also.
@Anti-Matter well you're not a child, this seems to be aimed at really young kids. It is free, but hopefully it has some value for children. Maybe recognizing feelings or visual cues through facial expressions. Probably not but that would at least be beneficial as non verbal communication is a learned skill.
From what I played of the demo, I'll be getting this either way. Plays well, shouldn't be that expensive and yacht club games tends to support their game. IE being an early adopter of shovel knight kept getting me more and more updates for free.
I would actually rather play this than Super Mario World, I think naming it smw2 kinda did a disservice to it as many people say SMW is the best game ever at the time. I just think this is different and fun
I dont understand why pc users give switch garbage for having key cards when almost all steam games are digital. If I get octopath it will definitely be digital only
Played about 6 levels and I think an 8 is about right. It is a good well made game but it isnt drawing me in like I wanted, I'll still play and beat it but may not do much after that.
Also playing on switch2
Ragebound for me as I dont think I've played anything but DK. Ragebound is good, but isnt pulling me to play. Also completed the Elliot demo, but that doesn't really count.
3d maps must be really hard to implement. This map is pretty good, the only issue i have with it are the bananas that are in "cages" at the top of one section of the map and lining it up in the other layer. Saying that I get close enough, but when you are trying to 100 percent it takes some getting used to as some things are naturally blocked from view.
Dk trying to slowly clean up and 100 percent all bananas/collectables. Starting ninja gaiden ragebound, and chronicles of the wolf true final boss
Also it is a billion degrees outside of probably some card/board games
I'll buy it for 4 dream bucks, this is about as low effort as a "game" can get. Retro graphics are probably just cheaper and voice over some story. This seems like those ai youtube channels that just reads reddit stories over a random background.
Is it consistent and fun? Then I dont care, if the benefit on switch 2, to where I'll be downloading this, is still consistent and fun I'll be happy. I do love the better load times.
@RemyMartin I agree that hollowknight is a good game with Hades and Dead Cells being better for me. I also unfortunately dont really care about Silksong anymore, as the theme for hollownest was just ok with the controls being a standout. So bringing Hornet as the protagonist is cool and I'll get it eventually, my excitement just isnt there anymore. But Hades 2 switch release let's go!!
@Duncanballs yeah some people's comment history makes me believe they love being a troll. And many accounts like that did start earlier this year. Because they hate everything, saying that I'm not upgrading for the base jamboree because I havent played much but in no world is this a 1. I dont like sonic games or scott pilgrim but a 1 is reserved for evil or just completely unplayable broken games. I would assume that the reason nintendo life doesn't have reviews that low is that it isnt even worth it to ask a reviewer to play it as we all know it is trash.
The review says it isnt great when playing hours at a time. This looks to me like pick it up play a handful of puzzles, and play something else. Kinda like clubhouse games is for me. I rarely play games for hours and hours at a time, even DK I've been playing in chunks and that game is great. To each their own but I'll try it on mobile and hope the difficulty ramps up like some have mentioned.
@Quinntendo thought you were talking about the digital version of the board game Calico? Nope you were talking about an awful game from a few years back. Honestly these aren't my thing anyways plus it is basically broken. Wonder what the lowest reviewed game on here is. LoTR, Superman, seem like such slam dunks for video games but they have so many misses.
