Finished Owlboy.

It was a fun game, but there were some parts I didn’t like much. There are some sections where you have to navigate through darkness, and there are spikes on the walls, didn’t like that. There were also some areas which were time based, don’t like those either. Doesn’t make it a bad game though, there are many good parts, but it’s not perfect. Personally, I will rate it as a good but not a great game. If you like 2D platformers, it’s worth a try.


Started Star Fox. I have only played the tutorial though, haven’t even started the campaign, but that is going to be the primary game for the weekend.

This is also the first time I properly tried the mouse mode of Switch 2, and I am really impressed. It works really well, had to spend some time thinking if I should play the game in mouse mode or normal control. You can change the controls on runtime though, so it’s not a big decision.


Reached the second area Monster Hunter Stories. The game seems to be opening up, fast travel is also unlocked, and I have finally more than 5 monsties. 5 is the limit of what we can have active party at a time. Going to put it on a back burner for a bit and focus on Star Fox.


Played Fallout 4, completed some quest lines, and took care of some bigger quests. Also played some Earth Defense Force 5. Nothing worth mentioning there though.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    i start to play The Adventure of Elliot, my first switch 2 game after mario kart. Didn’t read to good stuff about the performance, but i hope it’s alright, i thought it’s a good hand held title.

    Owlboy is very beautiful. Didn’t played it myself but my girlfriend played it. So i didn’t navigate through these darkness sections or spikes.

        First of all, i think the performance is alright. The critic about that was probably a bit to much, sure there are loading times, but nothing horrible.

        Ok now about the actual game, it feels like 2D Zelda, i expected a bit more rpg mechanics, so far i doubt it’s even an rpg, but it really is like a 2D zelda. I’m not that far in, but having sword, boomerang and other weapons. Able to throw tall gras and pods, having life points like hearts, having something like heart pieces. I knew people compared it to zelda, but it’s way more Zelda coded that i have expected. But on the other hand it lacks deph a zelda game has. If i’m in a bit city for example minish cap, there are so much secret to find, finding secret in wells, have here and there exciting npcs, there was nothing like that, so far, in The adeventure of Eliott. Probably a more action combat focused game, but i will see with further dungeons and secrets i see. Just an early impression.

        But i enjoy it so far, it’s a decent game at least will tell more when i played more.

          Interesting, I was expecting action RPG, so no in-depth RPG mechanics, but still some RPG stuff. Looking forward to your further reviews.
