It&#8217;s beautiful, it has a soundtrack to die for, and it&#8217;s just a really great Yoshi game. Easily rivals the original in terms of quality. Please note that even though it&#8217;s the most adorable thing you&#8217;ve ever seen, it can be downright <em>brutal<\/em>. Especially the bonus stages. *shudder* I look forward to continuing to play it to see all the extra goodies it has to offer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/WiiU_screenshot_TV_0184D2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5464\" src=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/WiiU_screenshot_TV_0184D2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"WiiU_screenshot_TV_0184D\" width=\"940\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/WiiU_screenshot_TV_0184D2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/WiiU_screenshot_TV_0184D2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/WiiU_screenshot_TV_0184D2-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/WiiU_screenshot_TV_0184D2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Undertale<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; I finally picked it up again and made it past the tutorial. OH.<em> Now<\/em> I understand why people love this game so much. It is absolutely <em>brimming<\/em> with charm, and really that&#8217;s all you need to get my seal of approval. I also like the &#8220;battle&#8221; system, despite there being hardly any actual battling in my pacifist run.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chibi-Robo! Zip-Lash<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211;\u00a0While a\u00a0few things really bugged me about this game, most of\u00a0its faults\u00a0were minor and ignorable. The final boss was really awesome. Ultimately,\u00a0I had a good time, but I&#8217;d really just like to get a normal Chibi-Robo game next. Or even a cheap re-release of the GameCube original.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shadow of the Colossus HD<\/strong> (PS3) &#8211; Cleared on hard mode. Never fails to leave me in awe every time I play it. And good gravy, is that 3D ever stunning. I may tackle the time trials in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Metal Arms: Glitch in the System<\/strong> (XBOX) &#8211; A thoroughly satisfying adventure that does not feel like it&#8217;s 12 years old. Really, you could polish up the graphics and easily pass it as a B-tier\u00a0current-gen game. The penultimate stage was a nightmare, but that was the only severe mark against it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Picross e6<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; Finally mustered up the drive to put this one to bed. What with Pok\u00e9mon Picross right around the corner and all. I sort of got <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=4037\">a wish that I made some time ago<\/a>, but in retrospect,\u00a0I think that Mega puzzles are best in small doses.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">~ Now Playing ~<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Bravely Default<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; I have advanced\u00a0to Chapter 6, almost on 7.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Super Mario Maker<\/strong> (WiiU) &#8211; Uh, I made some more courses. What did you expect? I probably don&#8217;t really need to list this every month, do I?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fallout: New Vegas<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; I don&#8217;t have a current-gen machine of any description, so I can&#8217;t play Fallout 4. At least I&#8217;ve got New Vegas. This month, I broke a lot of new ground and started exploring the eastern side of the map. Still haven&#8217;t set foot in New Vegas proper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Human Resource Machine<\/strong> (WiiU) &#8211;\u00a0A simple programming\u00a0game with a fun graphical representation of the execution of your code. A lot of fun early on,\u00a0but gets\u00a0ball-bustingly difficult about halfway through. I feel like I&#8217;m stuck without hope on Year 21.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nintendo Badge Arcade<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; A crane game where you can win little badges to decorate your 3DS home screen with. But it costs real actual dollars to play. So I did the free tutorial stuff and that was basically it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stone Shire<\/strong> (WiiU) &#8211; This Minecraft-&#8220;inspired&#8221; game was not the best way to spend a dollar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know.
