Hob. Is Hoa any good? Never heard of it.
Hod?
I guess you mean either Hob or Hoa but which?
I got The Witcher 3 and a Professor Layton mystery. Should keep me occupied for awhile.
Legend of Zelda on Game & Watch.
Believe it or not, I never owned the first one back in the day, I only really started with Zelda 2, so playing this for the first time. Took a while to find the first dungeon! Love how these old games didn't walk you through holding your hand ;)
Picked up Hod for a song in the sale. Looks great and I'm really enjoying the small bit I played so far. Seems similar, but possibly better than Death's Door
Got Unpacking, there, for the Switch and have played the first two stages. Impressions are that it's a very well put-together and intuitive game with nice music and colourful visuals. It's mostly relaxing to play, but there was a tiny bit of stressing over where, exactly, one ought to put bras. I went with bottom drawer of the dresser.
One small criticism - it would be nice if the game had an info bubble of some sort to tell what a particular item is. It's not always obvious, even on closer inspection.
There are very few such games on Switch really as most of these type of games are based on realistic graphics, games of which the switch doesn't get many ports of.
You also didn't specify the game type as they vary a lot.
Aside from the aforementioned "Sniper Elite" games, most notably "Sniper Elite 4", which is a stealth action game, there is very little out there.
If you are into strategy games you have of course Civilization 6 which you could put 100's of hours into.
"This war of mine" (a strategy survival game) might be worth a look also.
Maybe "Assassin's Creed : Black Flag" also which is an action game that's certainly historical and one of the best entries in the series. Based in the Pirate era of the 17th / 18th century.
"Red Wings Aces of the Sky" is another one - a World War I dogfight shooter.
Picked up Ender Lillies.
Have sunk way more time into it than I thought I would. Really nice game.
Picked up Loop Hero out of Xmas enthusiasm; really enjoying it. Feels like a game that's simple but deep. The GFX are a little bit of am acquired taste, even as a fan of pixel art, but overall this is great game so far.
Sniper is fairly decent.
Hi guys. Got a Switch off Santy. Can anybody recommend some good historical / world war 2 games?
Cheers
Decided to treat myself to a game. Downloading World War Z. Don't know much about it except it's a third person shooter zombie game.
Well Warioware is perfect for quick pick up n play sessions...gets tricky as it speeds up! Excellent little game.
Also gave Saints Row 4 a spin. Surprised how much I'm enjoying it...the gunplay feels really smooth with gyro aiming.
My first Saints Row game to play despite owning all the others on Steam and unplayed!
Just bought it there. Kind of bounced off it on Game Pass but tend to play these type if games a lot more on Switch so gonna give it a proper chance this time.
I've a bad habit of dropping games and having no clue where I left off and that deters me from picking them up again. These days I try to at least play to a pivotal point in the story or somewhere I can easily pick up the story from again. Need to stick with them and finish them out though for the sake of the backlog, which I've shamefully added to during the current sale.
Anyone looking to give their OLED a workout and is into Undertale I'd recommend giving Everhood a look. Its very like Undetale except the boss battles are similar to something from guitar hero but you have to dodge the notes instead of hitting them. Boss fight visuals are nuts and battle tunes are banging.
Other people have that (J)RPG problem? where you spin up a game you dropped and find yourself totally lost as to where you are, what was happening in the story or what to do next? Thought I'd try and play through my backlog a bit, fired up Crosscode and within about 30 seconds had nooooo idea what was going on.
Got Warioware from Santy so that's me sorted for next while :)
Waa gifted a copy of Metroid Dread so played through to a bit beyond the end of the demo - I like the Metroid franchise so don't want to rush through it first time around.
Idly considering the sale but there's nothing there making me go "ooh, I must jump on that". Partly because I already have a bunch of unfinished/unplayed games bought, and partly because I've recently resumed a "hard mode" playthrough of Ape Out (I rarely do this so it's a sign of how damn good Ape Out is).
Had a good few crashes with Loop Hero. Every 3 or 4 loops, the game crashes and exits. Waiting for a patch before I play more.
Nearly finished archvale (think enter the gungeon with fixed map layouts and RPG elements). Great game.
Got a few small games in the sale (a few quid each). Haven't tried them yet!
Playing Metroid dread all week in isolation. Just over 10 hours in. First Metroid I’ve played. I’m in Elun now. Just got the plasma rounds. Think I must be nearing the end. Very much enjoyed it.
Picked up Loop Hero a couple of days ago. Very addictive gameplay loop and really interesting mechanics.
I usually treat myself to a full price big game at Christmas but gonna pick up several indies instead this year. Loop Hero, Ender Lillies and Everhood so far. Havent played Everhood yet but looks like a more demented version of Undertale
Still playing Metroid Dread, finished a hard mode run with 4:15:59 on the clock at the end, so some more time to shave off there!
Ah I don't think so. But I'm not up on all things techy and have never tried Oculus and Steam. I'll just put it down to a bad choice and to choose more wisely in the future. It's difficult though when you're taking a chance on games.
Is there any sort of refund process like Oculus and Steam have?
I downloaded cluedo which I deleted straight after. Terrible.
I'll stick with BOTW for the moment.
Playing the crap out of Diablo 3 since the new season started last week. First time I've gotten stuck into a season proper since the start. Really enjoying it, loads of goals to work towards. Friend code below if anyone else is doing a bit of rifting this season
SW-0629-7570-0800
I'm about 5 hours into Archvale and I love it. It's quite open world and you can freely jump between areas as you get stronger.
I will get back to Death's Door soon (also amazing).
My Switch gaming has been kinda limited the last month or two, though I did start dipping back into Stikbold and Boomerang Fu.
I sae someone post about a Metroid Dread demo yesterday so I logged in to install it, and also found that the devs of What The Golf? had also released a free update with an extra few levels for the campaign. They aren't long, but they are fun and I enjoyed playing it again. Of course this meant that I didn't actually try out the Metroid Dread demo...
LOVE 3 is finally out and it is as fun and infuriating as it ever was.
My pre-order finally unlocked last night, around 23:00 and I gave it a blast, and another quick go this morning before work.
The developer, Fred Wood, has added a series of new mechanics which arrive pretty soon in the game, such as swimming, but all in all it is still the precise platformer that it always has been.
As a great bonus all of his other games in the series are there as unlockables, along with remixed levels too.
Replaying Witcher 3 and just nearing the end of Act 1. The nice part of the game where you are sufficiently levelled to arse around and not get your ass kicked!
