Both similar ratings on metacritic.

Im not far into the second game but it plays just as well as the first. Ive watched reviews where they say some of the sections are harder which is fine by me as I really enjoyed the tough sections in the first game. I'd get the first. If you enjoy it get the second. It carrys on from where the first game finishes.

I'm so torn about buying this game. On the one hand I'm not a big RPG guy and I've plenty other games to keep me going. And on the other hand.....

Eduard Khil · 04-11-2020 09:38AM

It's definitely worth €10 only 5.7GB too the story is harrowing so far.

Same I have such a backlog at the moment, and its such a large time sink of a game

I preferred the first one - it was more of a challenge, was unique, and had a fun story. The sequel dials everything up a notch, and it still excellent, but it loses a bit of the indie vibe it had.

So, in conclusion, buy both of them

Bah. I've it on my watch list now so if it goes down again, I'll get an email. I've pootling away on a few small games but I'd drop them in a second for something with a big story and the visuals of Ni No Kuni sealed the deal for me. Ah well.

Lumo reduced to €1.99 is a great buy!

Eduard Khil · 05-11-2020 10:53AM

**** sorry you missed it definitely seems to have been a very brief discount period too

I'd say it'll be one of those games that will go on sale often at that price now. Only a matter of waiting - Black Friday week is a potential sale period again for it.

Tusky · 05-11-2020 12:16PM

Has anyone ever seen Mario Party reduced? The price of old Switch games is insane.

Eduard Khil · 05-11-2020 12:23PM

As said just there wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday Target in the US of A are doing a 3 for 2 on games here's hoping Argos Smyths GameStop or some online vendors do a similar offer here or even Amazon does their so many for €100 offer again.

Unless you need or must have games in the next 22 days wait it out black Friday is in 3 weeks and given stores here are doing click and collect we will see bargains.

A few folks on here last year went in on Argos' 3 for 2 offers, split the savings between them. Saved a nice bit of money from what I heard.

The Lego forum did the same as well from what I remember.

Suckit · 05-11-2020 03:18PM

Lumo is €1.99 or €1.49 in South Africa.

It looks like good fun.

chrislad · 05-11-2020 03:26PM

Decent price for Baldurs Gate

https://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=15051&langId=111&searchTerms=baldurs+gate&authToken=-1002%252CTb6zd56kFOpztp1WPmC9rktuDxQ%253D

Never played it and I have been waiting for a digital sale that has never come so picking this up.

baldshin · 06-11-2020 09:29AM

Decent offer in Argos for anyone getting a Switch for their kids for the big day-

Cars 3 can be added with certain games for €7.50. So, for example, Minecraft and Cars 3 together is €31.69 which is pretty good! Both can be sold to CEX too for around the same price if they run their course quickly.

Edit- Cars 3 can't be sold on as it's a code in a box.

Eduard Khil · 06-11-2020 09:32AM

Cars 3 is a code in a box

Mr E · 06-11-2020 12:54PM

I was looking at Switch Corner's latest sale video and there are lots of good looking games (that I never heard of) on sale at the moment. Some with really deep discounts (90%+)

Some that jump out for me and I'll probably grab (for about €20 total) are:

Lumo (already mentioned above)
Urban Trial Tricky
Simulacra
Silence
Airheart - Tales of Broken Wings
Never Give Up

Got on to Switch Corner a couple of weeks ago. Have to say it's a great help sorting through all the games on Switch.

I see Yooka Laylee Impossible Lair is currently on offer.

Any advice on how enjoyable it is as a game?

Very fun, a really good platformer.

The overworld stuff becomes a bit tiresome at times but the levels themselves are great (as are the level variants). The final lair which was genuinely rock hard was recently split to give checkpoints to make it more achievable.

It's a cracking game, I'd highly recommend it.

Agree.
I think I need to go to a walkthrough for the later over world stuff.
It had become tedious and I left it.

But the platforming is super smooth 60 FPS goodness.

Looks like Oddworld Strangers Wrath and Munch's Odyssey are getting a big discount they should both be €9.99 each by tomorrow on the eshop

Can buy Oddworld for the 4th time now and still haven’t played more than a couple hours.

Eduard Khil · 10-11-2020 07:50PM

Abes Odyssey has only just been released on Switch so unfortunately that won't be reduced the other two for €9.99 each is great value Strangers Wrath looks interesting.
