La5t Game You Fini5hed And Your Thought5

Speaking of, I wish somebody had warned me off Arranger.  It's been getting a lot of good scores I just can't agree with.  The puzzles are of a decent quality, and they have an adequate amount of evolution through the 3-5h of the game, and if that was all of it (with maybe a bit more to them?  It feels like the game's missing a final-act evolution) I'd be more positive than I was.  I wasn't, because the dialogue is terrible stuff.  Sub-Tumblr-level "inspirational" guff about the importance of being different, explained in 20 different ways with 20 bad characters.  I also didn't like the art, which I appreciate is more of a personal thing but there's not much animation so bear in mind that what you see in statics is worse than you see in-game.  This is free if you have Netflix and in that case you may as well give it a shot, but don't spend too much time on it if you don't like the first bit: it doesn't get any better.  5/10

Aw, man - I think I'd heard similar, and am disappointed, as it looked like a great idea. It's difficult to relate to someone who feels out of place when they have some universe-bending superpower!

A few more, which do have vids on all three on my YT that have done okay and one video post State of Play now on over 500 views

Deep Beyond

Got this of the back of Games Asylum review, which admittedly they did only give a 6/10 but sounded interesting that I put in a review request myself which I didn't get. I got my Concord refund, bought Elden Ring still had some money left and saw DB was £6 that for that I'd buy, at worse do some content on it.

Yeah, from GA review it was some I enjoyed an hour-long narrative walking sim type game with a unique art-style like the ocean is orange with some good music, okay VO which was the ideal sort of game between Astro Bot and

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II

Brothers for the glory of the emperor will you play this content rich but overall very samey game? Space Marine II has three modes, the campaign which is around 7hrs long over 5 operations that can be played in CO-OP if you wish. Just no matter how cool it is to rip Tyranids apart and blast everything to kingdom come, the mission structure is very much walk down a hallway get some story beats, press a button for an elevator, wait 10 mins for it fighting waves of enemies repeat. By the time, I got to the end, I wouldn't have wanted much more of it.

SMII also have a CO-OP mode which has six operations which are all tied to the main story, and around 30mins each of these operations, that are mostly the same structure as the main campaign which was fun enough playing with randoms, and you play as class in this, so I played a healer type class which made it a little different.

Then it has PvP, which is great, just after a while I can just see people going to COD or whatever for this type of thing. I sound rather down on the game, it's just an odd one like what it does it does very well and the perfect amount of it, like if the campaign was 3hrs that be too short but if it was 15 hrs then feel it would have got boring.

The Plucky Squire

I even got the platinum for this in the end, though has to play twice due to a big that even a patch didn't fix for me. Which from that you may have guessed I liked the game a lot, mostly in the 2D mode which it was a tad Zelda-like mixed with Lost Words due the word puzzles. However, the 3D portion which being outside the book didn't have like the word puzzles, it's more climb to the top of this tower fighting enemies along the way with light platforming which serviceable enough.

I'd hope the devs for their next game just expand on what was here in the 2D sections and make a decent Zelda-like game.

Interestingly, that sounds ideal for Space Marine - I like a game that just does its thing and does it well. I don't need every game to be everything!

You're the most positive person I've heard talk about TPS, but based on your history it being good because its like old Zeldas is a red flag . . .

Yeah Space Marine II does what it says on the tin.

Don't know anyone else who's played TPS part from the Save Slot 3 lot which Craig did like it. Only other person seen talk about is Balla, who's not playing due to performance on Switch.

Andy plays everything mind, so maybe see what he says though we know he can be odd.

Yep I was really excited for TPS, and then Nintendo Life shrugged its shoulders, and then frankly everybody else on other platforms apart from Mas shrugged their shoulders, and now I'm thinking I might not be missing out on much.

TPS was fine, but at no point did it decide to try and be anything more than a decent time. So much potential, but ultimately they didn't build anything to use any of it.
