@Ryu_Niiyama Idk because Iaven't got the set, but it looks like you could just rearrange the tiles on the yellow faces to turn it into a ! block. It is lego you know, you can change aspects of the model you don't like.
Honestly, I'm glad TotK isn't on this list. It's a very fun and respectable game, but might honestly have been better if it were unshackled to BotW and Zelda as a whole. Please tell me, who asked for such good building mechanics in Zelda?
New "game drops" worries me. I don't think the strategy of making a game in an entirely separate genre, slapping minecraft's aesthetic on it, and expecting the crowd to go wild has ever worked. MC legends and dungeons are extremely mid iirc, and stuffed with DLC.
Recently sailed the high seas to get Bowser's Inside Story, and it might be one of the best games ever. I think I'll buy this game just as thanks for BIS.
And I love the art style! During the ML vs Sephiroth craze people said Mario and Luigi had saturday-morning cartoon physics, and I'm so glad that's still here! All we need confirmation for now is the return of our favourite conlang Fake Italian. I hope the new VA is up to the task!
Art style is an absolute headache when it's in still screenshots. Can't imagine watching this in motion. Besides, I tried Shovel Knight: Dig and decided run-based games aren't for me.
Maybe the ones that aren't remembered as much, but not the ones in the headline pic. Astral Chain, the last-gen Pokemons and maybe the zelda remakes would all sell much better at 30-40$.
Imo Hogwarts Legacy is doing it well. Your backstory and overall personality are left ambiguous, but your character is capable of answering questions, basic niceties etc.
@Citrus_Architect Oh lord, THANK YOU for the warning. When I read " gorgeous and mature writing" I thought it was a story like Deathly Hallows, not that stuff. @GooseLoose1 What you said is totally true. There was a TV sitcom about muslims, and while my devoutly muslim family loved it, I doubt whether people of other cultures would. This game must be a joy to see for a New Caledonian, but I doubt people from other cultures would appreciate it as much.
This looks unfinished. Title and characters look cool, but why couldn't the sea fill the whole background behind them? Plain white doesn't look great... I suppose they don't really need a really eye-catching box, seeing as they're pretty much out of system-seller games.
Pokemon Ultra Sun was my first game period and I loved it to death, even though I got stuck on one boss for a YEAR straight. But I've been spoiled by Legends Arceus and the ability to see pokemon before I fight them, and I am definitely worried that true random encounters will ruin it for me. I'm getting my 2ds modded, so I might play it with mods... anyone know what the modding scene for the gen VII games is like?
@smithyo Zeltik said it best on YT: a disappointing masterpiece. EoW looks like they learned a lesson, though, and are trying to do less stuff, so Zelda's not dead to me yet.
@Samalik 99% of them are 2d side scrolling, so I like to use "ant-farm game". Or to include the non-side scrolling ones, " 'where do i go next' simulator"
Sounds like a good way to ease oneself in. Maybe I'll pick it up... but I'm looking for something to play alongside Outer Wilds when I get stuck on the puzzles, and more first-person space exploration doesn't sound like what I want. How different is this from OW? What's the goal exactly; fighting guys, getting rich or just finding cool stuff? My other pick would be Another Crab's Treasure because of the brilliant marketing; I know NL gave it a 5/10 but framerate doesn't bother me and I've heard the dev improved it anyways.
@OFFICIALMichi Lego's 3/2-in-1 offerings always make you pick one model to build from the same bricks. But they usually do have really good build techniques!
ToTK was too long. It consumed me for most of the summer and now I haven't touched it in months. Good game while I was able to stick to it, but distinctly flawed. BotW had all it's content on roughly the same level of goodness, while TotK has much higher highs and rather lower lows. But Bug Fables was the perfect length! The story keeps you intrigued and there's lots of side quests, but each one impacts you and the world enough that none feel like they were added to pad time.
"Honestly, if you're looking for the best performance you're better off elsewhere, but its still decent on Switch and we still have plans to bring the Switch version closer to parity in future updates."
I know you guys don't revisit games for second reviews, but could you PLEASE report on any patches it gets? I'm certain the devs plan on improving the experience.
@TenEighty It is a sci-fi ocean on another planet, so it doesn't feature any fish you'd find IRL. It is pretty strange in that sense, but if you're looking for an ocean exploration game, that's the best one I've found (Not that I looked very hard).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YEEEEEEEESS! Legends gameplay is back! Pokemon Z is coming! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
