I don't know what it is about Dark Chronicle but dungeon crawling and shooting clowns in the sewers with a blunderbuss is really chill.

The thought that I'm behind not one, but two Zelda Musou games is frightening, especially considering I feel like I could just play Hyrule Warriors forever. Pretty much the only game I forced myself to stop playing because there was too much content rather than a lack of it., easily the best licensed musou I've played.

Played more Onimusha and I'm not sure why the difficulty is still dominating the discourse on the game when IMO the far bigger problem is them taking a series that was unique and running it through the Ubisoft machine. It's not QUITE as bad as that sounds, the map isn't cluttered with endless checklist icons or anything but I did just get a sidequest from a woman to find her puppies littered around the Kyoto hub, if I don't want to do that I can hunt for some chests!

The sad thing is, there are actual levels where you leave Kyoto to something far more focused like older games…and it's amazing, the combat truly gets to shine which is where this game really pops off, with which the boss fights just get better and better. I don't know why the game is just that, I really don't like the idea that I need to find cloth, Iron and wool to get the next incremental upgrade for my armour.

All that aside, I think this is a great game but I'm not sure I'd want to do all this again.

Anyway…who cares we got a new 2D Metroid!!! I thought it was going to be a port of Samus Returns but I'll take a completely new game! Dread is still one of the best Switch games so I'm even more excited about this then I already would be, especially after Metroid Prime 4/10 was the last game we got.

That was a good Direct, I'm so tempted to drop my plans and start Starfox Adventures tonight! I don't know if it's considered a very good game but this is a game I remember from back in the day, so it's a bit special to me. I only wish we were getting more GC games per wave because they're picking good titles so far it's just 1-2 games a pop is going to leave the GC section of NSO looking extremely anaemic.

Not to repeat opinions I've seen online but Kokiri was definitely giving the 'Focus M' Mario video vibes for me, Link was also weirdly doll like compared to other character models. If it plays well I'm sure I can enjoy it but I'm a bit surprised this UE style is what they've gone for
