Finished Yoshi and the Mysterious Book!
Well, at least the credits rolled, there is post game content but the little bit of what I have played, requires much more skill. I still have all the stuff I left in the previous levels though, have to go back and complete that at least.
Going to keep playing and try to complete the encyclopedia as much as I can, not sure I’ll be to get everything, specially the post-game ones. Will probably put it aside as primary game and just play it here and there for completion. Have been itching for a JRPG so will probably start one now.
Finished Onimusha: Warlords!
It wasn’t a long game, maybe 5-6 hours total, and if remove all the unskippable scenes that I had to see multiple times cause I died on the boss, it would’ve ended even sooner.
The game has many similarities with the early Resident Evil games so looked up the details and apparently the original idea of the game was “Ninja Resident Evil”. Though, fortunately the puzzles in this game aren’t as convoluted, and there are very few of those around.
Loved the game, even with the dated elements, the game is fun to play. I’ll recommend it to action game fans, if they have some patient for older elements like fixed camera, saving at fixed places, and unskippable scenes.
Started Owlboy on Switch. It has been on my wishlist for a long time, so decided to get it on latest sale. I’ll mainly be focusing on Switch 2 games for next few months (Yoshi, Star Fox, Splatoon Raiders), but when kids are hogging that, need something on Switch to play too.
I have just started it and played less than an hour, so can’t really say much about it, but the graphics and gameplay looks interesting.
Played more of Fallout 4.
After reaching the Diamond City the game seems to have slowed down. Since it’s the biggest city around, there’s a lots to do here and the surrounding, but this means the “exploring the wilderness” feel has dimmed down a bit.
Also played some Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Arc Raiders, not much to mention here.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
Earlier today, I managed to crash Yoshi’s Mysterious Book Club. In the exploding chestnut stage, I just scooped one up out of the water and the game froze. It never happened again after a reset though, so I assume it was a very rare accident. Still in Chapter 4, I just haven’t played as much because
I really got into Visions of Mana this week. The game flows so much better in its second half! Having a real villain definitely helps, so does finally having access to all elements as a mage. There haven’t been any large open areas lately to slow me down and there were finally some larger indoor areas that have been sorely missing so far. And each of them had two bosses, which have been my favorite part of the game! Though one of them glitched out somehow, making me unable to cast my spells. It wasn’t Silence, I was able to swap characters and tell my mage to cast their spells remotely, but when I controlled them nothing would happen! So that’s two games that broke this week…
Fallout 3 breaks a lot, being a Bethesda game, so I’m not counting that for a triple! I finished the main story of the Point Lookout DLC and I can’t say I liked it. The location is great though, and I’m looking forward to exploring the corners I haven’t been to yet before going home to D.C…
So, in other words, it’s only thanks to Bethesda that you don’t have 3 games breaking on you 😀
I see so much praise for Visions of Mana, but I can’t get through the first two hours of it. So many cut scenes and so little game play. The cut scenes are too long even when I skip them, I can’t imagine actually reading those long dialogues.
