I’ve by no means performed Kirby and the Forgotten Land earlier than, so I am placing that proper with the catchily-titled Swap 2 model.

I’m totally on the Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar practice. Choo Choo. I feel the sport initially got here out at a time after I was in all probability busy doing a little boring school-related factor, so I by no means really performed the unique. Additionally, I assume I all the time assumed it was a spin-off? Just like the Harvest Moon match-3 sport, Frantic Farming? I feel they got here out inside a 12 months of one another and I simply assumed they had been the identical sort of factor. Anyway, the remake is fairly nice! It is maybe a bit of TOO simple — I am nonetheless in spring of 12 months one and I really feel like I’ve made a ton of progress already — however I feel they’ve lastly found an artwork type that does not look tremendous low cost or spinoff! Hooray. I might nonetheless just like the character artwork to look rather less child-like, however we’re making progress at the very least!

It is a busy one for me. As Alana talked about earlier this week, I’ve lastly began Hole Knight! I am undecided it’ll have the life-changing impression on me that others skilled seven or eight years in the past, however I’ve loved the couple of hours I’ve performed up to now and I am itching to discover extra. However! Star Trek: Resurgence launched on Swap this week – I have been anxious to play that since 2023.
UFO 50 can also be an utter delight. I accomplished my first sport the opposite day (effectively, I bought the Gold cart, however there’s hundreds extra I may do) – Avianos, the turn-based, dinosaur, castle-conquering one. I’ve nonetheless barely touched the overwhelming majority of the others, however what a deal with this factor is. You may be listening to me wax lyrical come December, assured.
And on the theme of dinosaurs, I picked up LEGO Jurassic World on sale this week. Following a blisteringly profitable viewing of the primary movie, my children are obsessive about Jurassic Park and I am alongside for the journey, grinning wildly and shedding a tear after they sing alongside to these John Williams themes and overspending on the thirtieth anniversary units Lego launched a few years in the past. You recognize, for the youngsters. In comparison with the precise Lego, €3.99 for the sport is an absolute steal, and it is also the easiest way to point out them the remainder of the flicks with out really displaying them the remainder of the flicks. Let ’em dream, hmm?

I am nonetheless enjoying numerous Avenue Fighter 6 for the time being, however the latest reminder that Sport Vouchers are on their means out has prompted me to dive again into Pikmin 2. Y’see, I might like to make use of the vouchers to get the third and fourth video games, however I might additionally like to finish the second earlier than I, y’know, begin the method. OCD, I assume.
I actually need to play some SHINOBI: Artwork of Vengeance too, and also you higher imagine I will be sinking a couple of extra hours into the brand new Lumines Come up demo on PS5 earlier than it disappears!

After ending Chibi-Robo final weekend, I’ll lastly be wrapping up Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, which has gone fully beneath the radar however is among the finest video games I’ve performed this 12 months. Artistic motion, difficult puzzles, all wrapped up in a Zelda-style overworld with a Metroidvania-esque construction? It’s wonderful; do your self a favour and decide it up.
In any other case, no new video games for me this week ( why), however I can be downloading that Trails within the Sky 1st Chapter demo. I’m glad individuals who’ve by no means performed the sequence earlier than are checking this one out, and I’m desirous to see what the fuss is about with this remake. Get pleasure from your weekend, people!
