LEGO's designers might have outdone themselves on this one! The little room that pops up, a shelf to hold the games, and little dioramas for each!? Too cool.
This is pretty fantastic, but at that price and since it's compatible with the other SMB sets maybe it wouldn't have hurt to include one of those Mario figures for scale.
I had Gamepass for a few months and then realized it was kinda stressing me out with too many game options and I wasn't even playing much from it, so I cancelled. Got a ton of games from itch.io bundles to play anyway.
I've gotta get more excited for this game. I loved Splatoon and Splatoon 2 so much, but I'm worried I may not be ready for more just yet? Guess I'll get it and find out!
I haven’t played Coffee Talk but I’ve listened to the soundtrack on Spotify a ton. Great calming music for when I’m having a hard time. My condolences to his friends and family ☹️
Aww I don’t normally play mobile games but I put a lot of time into this one. I’d love to see it come to Switch in some form, it’s got some great characters. Sad to see it wrap up ☹️
I'm trying to be skeptical, but this game really does look good and is sorta winning me over! I think the most impressive part for me is the really nice UI art. The last few Pokemon games haven't been so great in that department, but this one looks really slick.
How the heck am I actually excited for this. Video game movies aren't supposed to be good!? And this is a sequel even! From that little clip Knuckles does sound pretty great, Tails too. Can't wait to see more Jim Carey as well.
A more powerful Switch might be able to run Hollow Knight at 1080p in docked mode. This means we need a more powerful Switch for Silksong. Everything else is irrelevant.
This is sorta weird? The whole point of a glass screen is that it's more scratch resistant, but it can shatter. So they put a non-replaceable plastic film over it to protect you from shatters, but this film is probably more likely to get scratched? I would have just preferred a plastic screen that I could put a replaceable glass screen protector onto
I loved the first two and this one is definitely looking to exceed them! Also loved the Lappy cameo, does this mean there's gonna be some crossover with the Astral Chain world?
I tried the demo for this today and it's gooooooooooooooood. If it had come out in the GBA days it would have been one of the best games available I think.
I enjoyed this game but I found the amount of limited time events and content actually became overwhelming after a while. I’d rather they slowed it down a bit to be honest.
Pretty cool move! How is the ping system in Apex Legends different from the one in something like League of Legends though? I haven’t really played it much.
This is one of those games that would require minimal effort for a remaster. It still looks great with the pixely low res graphics. I just hope they can license the fantastic soundtrack, it just isn’t the same without it.
I played this for a few minutes over the weekend and it looks sooo good. Anyone else notice the glitch with Fi's dialogue font though? I wonder if they'll patch it.
I just got this game recently and am enjoying it, but there are definitely improvements that could be made. Maybe the devs read this site, so I’ll list my thoughts:
No way to view the area goals once you’re in a level? I figure having this would be obvious, even if it was just thrown on the quests menu.
Double tapping to dodge on the analog is very hard to do I find. Would be nice if a single quick movement left or right would trigger it.
When moving the analog just a little left or right the character moves really slow, but her animation is running. Feels like the animation could be slowed down to match.
Maybe enemies could get up a little quicker? Or have less invincibility time when they’re down?
Also the recovery time after dodging is just a little too slow, making it feel clunky.
I would love it if the character could dash somehow. The movement speed makes exploring feel a bit tedious.
Your hat and mask change in 3D sections, but the clothes are always the same?
The character seems to fall out of the bottom of those water orbs a little too quickly, considering it’s water.
Some sort of notification to let me know when there are new items to craft/forge. Checking those characters every day for new stuff is pretty repetitive as their dialog rarely changes.
Probably sounds like nitpicking, but I really like the game and find it very addictive. These little things do hold it back a bit however.
