I've been playing Unmetal, that Metal Gear Solid spoof.
I'm glad I bought it, as it was cheap and its very funny; however it's much more difficult than I imagined. Tons of boss fights.
There is an easy mode that I haven't tried, but the normal difficulty can get quite frustrating. A lot of the problems are the controls, it controls like an 8 bit game.
There no fluidity or the speed or elegance most modern pixel art games have. You can't even shoot diagonally, but guards can??
Guards can see you behind a corner wall and shoot you behind it even when they have no line of site.
There's a flamethrower that will explode if it over heats, giving you a tiny window to use it.
Some bosses are very demanding, reloading and healing takes time so you often die whilst in the process of trying to use a med pack.
That's very aggressive on GameStop's part. Though the intelligence of it is questionable. Part of their deal is offering $125 for the regular switch. That's more than they were offering me when I tried to trade it in a year ago.
My local mom and pop Retro game store is selling a standard switch for $135, and generally their prices are completely shit. You can get them on the secondary market for even less too.
I get that they're trying to come up with a generous deal to encourage people to throw down for what is looking like a fairly expensive console, but they may end up with a serious overstock of used Switches.
That is certainly tempting though my nearest Gamestop closed and the nearest one is over thirty minutes away. Maybe when preorders open up again.
Really stupid on Nintendo’s part. I would have purchased those games again if they were the actual Switch 2 version of the game fully on the card. Definitely not now though.
