^Very slow, very good.
But don't expect much in the way of puzzles.
Completed Yesterday Origins, its a pretty good Broken Sword substitute. It's a sequel but you learn enough about the first game through various means and I never felt at a disadvantage. It throws a spanner in the works partway through, doing what I HATE: making me recheck areas I have already exhaustively checked. Now, the item is of use, before it wasn't and I couldn't use or pick it up. But like most graphic adventures it never tells or hints to go back to that shelf. It has a system where you can examine people or objects close up, but on two occasions I was completely stuck because the icon didn't come up, even when staring you straight in the face. It has a quirky control scheme for presenting items or ideas, sometimes both at the same time. At first felt alien but actually works quite well in the end. The 3d character models and good voice acting really helps. You feel more intimate with the characters cause the camera shows the 3d models in detail. Luckily the style perfectly matches the 2d backgrounds. One thing though, although the game looks great on switchs screen, docked it has a slightly compressed appearance. Like a photo that's just a notch below the ideal resolution. Good story and some parts felt very much like Eternal darkness. Not a game for kids though, with one misjudged scene where a characters teeth get pulled out and a brutal triple death scene near the end. As well as swearing and sex talk. Not a dark game though.
I'll keep Yesterday Origins in mind, GG. I reviewed the original and enjoyed it.
And what will you do with this new found knowledge?
Fortnite fans flooded the public conference call of the Apple VS Epic trial.
There is no link anymore, but I'll see if I can find the word file and post it here or on Game Under.
Kind of surprised about this myself. Given the crazy sales for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe I just figured that everyone just kept moving on to the latest Mario Kart game.
Not anymore.

But Mario Kart 8 has a re-release and is on multiple consoles.
Well, that's it for giantbomb as we know it. Mass exodus of on-air talent.

Does that stop Rockstar from claiming sales records for GTA V. Besides, the Wii U was a soft launch.
