Kenri 01/24/23 3:34:42 PM #57 | transience posted... yeah that's huge. I owned a game gear once, not sure I need to do it againI was skeptical too but the Deck is much more comfortable to hold than the Switch is, despite being bigger. I haven't weighed them but I feel like the Deck is also lighter than the Switch somehow, which helps. It's really making me think I should invest into one of those Hori split pads for the switch. Maybe my whole issue is just that the joy-cons suck as handles. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

Kenri 01/21/23 12:23:55 AM #38 | Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair (Steam) This is a pretty fun 2D platformer, another DKC-like. The goal of the game is to finish one extra-long level (the Impossible Lair) with multiple bosses, and you can challenge that level at any time. Each bee you rescue from the other stages gives you an extra hit on the Impossible Lair, up to 48 + the 1 hit you get normally. I needed all of them! I mean, I feel like I could have just ground it out until I could do it without. I've done harder levels in platformers, like idk White Palace. But it was still tricky and the other levels were fun so I went and got all the bees anyway, which makes the whole thing substantially easier. Compared to Kaze and the Wild Masks I'm not sure which is the better DKC-like. Initially I would have said Kaze but I spent like 18 hours on YL, not sure I'd have been game to play Kaze that long. They're both good, in any case. ...Incidentally, 100%ing this game means beating the Impossible Lair without any bees and uh, I'll pass on that one. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

Kenri 01/20/23 4:06:10 PM #27 | UshiromiyaEva posted... It's much more about the game setting up very intentionally limited chapters with specific units for consideration. Strategy first, RPG second, at least IMO.I'm cool with this approach and in some senses even prefer it, but I think it would work better if characters with poor availability got a level boost when they rejoined. Some would still be pretty unusable because they're bad even when they join, but it would at least mean you can take e.g. Leonardo to the final chapters without having to put in incredible effort. I guess a modern remake might just fix it by including a way to grind like FE8 or Awakening, though I'd prefer a solution that is... not that. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

All evidence is they finished it.The line I remember is fully not here so either they changed it, it was a different review, or I'm remembering wrong.

Kenri 01/16/23 7:52:17 PM #29 | Offspring Fling (Steam) Wow I've had this game in my library for a long time! It's a very cute puzzle platformer, which is not a genre I particularly like so I'm not sure why I keep playing them. The puzzles were pretty easy and the levels that required good timing with platforming were surprisingly hard (probably because I was using a joystick instead of dpad). There are more levels if you beat the record time for each stage but uh, no thanks. I do want a plushie of the main character though.
