PWB April 2026

Play

Resident Evil 4 Remake - I haven't played Resi 4 since it originally came out on the GameCube. Despite the general reaction, I remember being really disappointed with it - I'd loved all the Resi games up to that point (the majestic Resi 1 remake most of all) and this linear action game with its constant shooting and crazy bosses wasn't at all what I wanted. Going back to it twenty years later and I feel… pretty much exactly the same. It's fine I guess but I don't like the setting much, gunning down peasants feels a bit unpleasant, I'm spending 75% of my time kicking barrels and the whole thing is browner than poo. I'll stick with it for a bit as I remember the castle section getting much more interesting in the original but on the whole this feels like a very faithful remake in that I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.

Mario & Rabbids: Sparks of Hope - I put about ten hours into this a while back but I've gone back to it this week and it's pretty great. The setting is as uninspired and generic as Mario spin-offs always seem to be (although the actual Rabbids themselves are hilarious, maybe I'm easily pleased) but the combat system is really decent in an XCOM-lite kind of way and hitting goombas in the face with rocket launchers never gets old. The Switch 2 tidies up its framerate and dramatically improves its loading times, too, which is great.

Want

I have… no idea. What's coming out this year anyway? I'm mostly going through my backlog at the moment, with the occasional dip into interesting-looking Game Pass titles.

EDIT: oh, 007: First Light of course.

Bin

There isn't a bin in the world big enough for Trump's bloated, festering corpse. Get a move on, cholesterol.

Play

Monster Train 2 - Getting closer to a clear, I can feel it. The nice thing is that I've never felt cheated out of a win when I lose, it's just helped me refine my strategy for the next round, so I've got a solid idea of what I'm doing with the Luna/Banished clan now I just need to make better decisions at each stop.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound - I mostly do one level a night and it doesn't take up a lot of my time, got nothing bad to say about this game, it's great.

Still feel like I'm in between games at the moment, I'm still playing Requiem (Hopefully getting the Platinum Trophy today) and the odd side game here and there, if I want to focus on one game I might as well try to finish reading the Fate/Stay Night visual novel, then clear up Phoenix Wright.

Want
Mario Galaxy 2 - Fresh off the back of the movie, I haven't played it before so this seems like a perfect time? I slept on the idea to see if the want faded overnight after the hype from the movie died down, but I still kind of want it. The thing is that there's so much stuff on sale now and I don't really want to buy everything but I am going to keep on the lookout, Just don't wantto buy something then see something else I want more but didn't think about

Bin
I think I'm kind of over popcorn tbh, ignoring that somehow I got some under my coat and under my shirt(?) I left the cinema having ate a bucket of popcorn bigger than my head and I was still hungry, it's so expensive too. Drinking a litre of Coke or whatever it was in one sitting is kinda' nuts too but at least having a drink makes sense
