Shakedown Hawaii is getting better. I thought it was a bit one note, but they have introduced a bit of variety.

Sometimes you will go into dungeons like through a Mario warp pipe with a few basic platforming elements. I had my first on foot chase.

I had to grab scissors from a barber and cut people's hair. I did a challenge where I had to run over 50 pedestrians in a steamroller.

It's all variations on gta missions but it's all breezy fun.

It's still not as good as gta Chinatown wars or anything but it's a good, cheap blast and the loading time is so fast its great to jump in and out of.

I think the shooting bits are the best, they could do a whole top down MERCS style game with these controls.

It actually makes me want to buy Metal slug and Shock Troopers.

If the game had voice acting and a better story it could go from a good game to an excellent one.

I need better rivalries and motivation for what I'm doing.

At the moment it's just an old businessman wanting to make money through crime.

Well, I managed to get a Pro Controller for $71, which is onyl $11 more than I was willing to pay for a PS3/PS4 controller back in the day, so I can just about live with it. Unless it turns out to be crap.

Also, between my sister and I, here is our ridiculous sale tally:

Collection of mana



Ninokuni



No More Heroes 2



Fast RMX  



Mario + Rabbids + donkey kong dlc



Ultimate chicken horse  



Shakdown Hawaii



Ibb and obb



Woodle Tree Deluxe + 2



Urban Flow



Sine mora



Cattails



Circa infinity



Fatum betual



Leisure suit Larry (my sister's choice, believe it or not)



Yoku’s island express

For the same price we could have got Metroid Dread and Zelda or Mario, but of the ones we've tried so far this wasn't such a bad decision as it might have been.

But other than those three, we now never need to buy a Switch game again. (Other than maybe Luigi? But I'd rather just dolphin or homeware the original tbh; I've always wanted to play it.)

Interesting choices. Some niche stuff I've never heard of too.

There's plenty more games you can buy in the sales on switch. Every week there's no less than 700 games on sale. And the new year's sale is crazy right now.

BTW Leisure suit Larry Wet dreams don't dry is one of my favourite switch games and one of my favourite graphic adventures. Definitely play it too, I also bought the sequel too.

Ninokuni is a weird one, one sale had it at less than £2, but since then it's always been a lot higher.

Shinen annoys me as their games always have the same paltry price cut, which I why I still don't own the Touryst.

As for Forgone I liked the demo but I watched a couple of reviews last night and it's bad.

Best thing you guys can do is subscribe to YouTube channels:

Switch UP!
Switch Corner
Switch watch

They do videos every week covering all regions showing the highlights of the sales.

As well as highlighting new releases and they have video reviews as well as "best of" collection videos.

I think the best thing they can do is just  play and enjoy all those games they already bought  LOL

I wonder how you'll like Ultimate chicken horse Foolz. That's been on my radar for a very long time, but I haven't purchased it by lack of people wjo'd be willing to play it with me.

I think I found a new game to make me unreasonably angry - "Unpacking." I hadn't heard of it until now, but apparently it's an indie game where are unpacking boxes and setting them up accordingly in the rooms they belong in. The core of the game is that it's telling a story about the lives of the person or people you are unpacking for. At the end of the day, it's a goddamn game about unpacking boxes and putting shit on shelves. Jesus...

Apparently it's collecting a couple Game of the Year awards. Ughhhhh.... Well I suppose it's about time I have a game like this to bang my head over. Hasn't really been one since Prune.

On another note, you know what pisses me off? Dungeons with puzzles in jrpgs. They exist only to stretch out the length of a game and possibly make the players life miserable. They're not fun. They're rarely clever. It's just a matter of wandering around to find a freaking switch or figure out what platform you need to be on, because the developers can't lay out the view clearly enough for you to figure it out on your own.

Resident Evil Village.  The game was good. Tense, but good. I only played small chunks of Castle Dimetrescu because I just wasn't feeling that type of gameplay. Then I move on past the castle and the game becomes GREAT! I love exploring the village with my arsenal.

That's awesome. There's only like 4 games I want. And the price is £1.69 per game where Neo geo games are twice the price even on sale.
