New games for the Switch.
I loled.
Good round up. It's nice to have some video game news here that isn't just an endless parade of waking horrors.
Thank you. The only horrors are purposeful. That WWI game looks scary and is in my favorite war.
Historians have favorite wars. It's a weird bit true fact.
I need to read more history so I can have a favorite war.
The closest I ever got was discovering that there was an island that Alexander the Great invaded...on foot.
Alexandrian conquests are sweet. He was definitely an interesting figure.
You should read about the Romans building a mountain to invade a mountain fort.
What is it about this franchise that keeps it coming back over and over.
The original failed so hard that it couldn't even capitalize on being the "first soulslike" hype train. Yet for some reason they decided to redo the entire game and release it again with the same exact name.
And it was legitimately better and a downright decent game. But it was years too late to just be a "good soulslike" with zero identity otherwise, and it was once again forgotten.
Did it make enough to justify a third attempt at revitalizing a genre so dead that From themselves ended it definitively?
I had been watching Lords of the Fallen 2 for a while because of how cool it looked. I still want it to be good, but it suffers average
The only unique idea it had was the "two realms" one and you flipping to one if you die, basically giving you a second life during bosses. Which kudos, I really enjoyed that entire mechanic.
But everything else felt like I was playing every other soulslike. At least Code Vein had Anime to make the generic areas worth going through.
Hey, it worked for Soul Reaver.
About goddamn time you came back with these lists.
I kept trying to catch up and finding more links. I'm stuck at May right now.
Rocket Knight Adventures, the original, is a 10/10 masterpiece. The sequels range from okay to terrible, but the original is everything video games should strive to be. Tight, efficient, low skill floor, high skill ceiling, gameplay focused, beautiful music and graphics. An unobtrusive story that adds flavor to the action.
I went ahead and bought the collectors edition and the plushie, because I know this will probably be my only chance ever to score some Sparkster merch.
I'm glad you were able to get the merch.
