Finished Star Fox! Completed all the planets, including all the alternate routes (except one in Sector X, where you have to kill the boss in certain time). Didn’t get any medals though, came very close to getting them couple of times, so will try for them a few times more, but don’t care about them too much.
I like how there are dialogue changes (even if minor) depending on if all characters are with you or if any character is missing due to damaged Arwing. Also, didn’t realise how much game you are missing out on if you just play one route.
Loved the game, finally understanding why people care so much about the series. Hoping for a new entry in the series now!
As I mentioned last week, Earth Defense Force 5 was nearing the end, so spent most of the weekend to finish the game, but turned out there was more left than I expected, so spent half the week playing it too. It had total of 110 levels, and couple of them were very long. Also had to switch to those annoying hold-to-charge, release-to-shoot weapons to beat last 2 levels, so ended up getting used to them, it turns out they aren’t all that bad.
Finished the game now!
Started Star Ocean: First Departure R. After finishing Voice of Cards last week, wasn’t playing anything on Switch, so started Star Ocean.
This is my first Star Ocean game and I am surprised to see how good it is. The combat system felt a bit weird in the start (it’s real time but there is no dodge or block) and took getting used to, but I think I have gotten the hang of it. The world building is also interesting, gives some of that Star Trek feel. After the initial exposition doesn’t look like there would be any major twist in the story, seems to be pretty straight forward, but will have to just wait and see.
No Red Dead Redemption 2 this week. I am not going to start another PS game now and focus on this from here on.
Same with Monster Hunter Stories, it was on back burner due to Star Fox, but even though I have finished that now, Splatoon Raiders is releasing soon so I probably won’t be getting back to this any time soon.
What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
I find difficulty in Yoshi very hard to judge. I’d say there are difficult research tasks appear more often for sure, but they aren’t necessarily new. The main game makes you juggle three boomerangs at some point and to me, that was the most difficult thing to do in all my play time.
As for Star Fox, it’s not much, just some emblems at the bottom of the list, but it’ll leave most players at 99% completion at best.
I didn’t do the difficult researches in the main game, that could be the reason that I felt the difficulty spike.
Sometimes I do feel like I’m playing the game wrong, as I tend to forget levels have a ‘goal’ you have to achieve to move on. Usually, the goal is just something I stumble upon during all my other research, but it wasn’t until post-game that I tried to leave a level to reset it only to realize I haven’t even beaten it yet.
Na, I think that is how you are supposed to play this one. If you go with the mindset of just going for the main goal you miss out on tons of other things.
