Apparently I played all the video games in April. Despite going back to school. I think that should be a wake-up call that my study habits are not quite<\/em> where they should be.<\/p>\n

~ Game Over ~<\/h2>\n

Yoshi’s Island<\/strong> (SNES) – Man, that final battle is cool. Aiming’s a little finicky, but still really cool.<\/p>\n

Shantae: 1\/2 Genie Hero: Pirate Queen’s Quest<\/strong> (WiiU) – I am bowled away at how much I enjoyed this remixed DLC mode. It’s almost<\/em> as good as Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse!<\/p>\n

The Count Lucanor<\/strong> (Switch) – The great thing about my Switch is that my backlog of unplayed games was sitting at just one<\/em>, and now I’ve played and finished it. And wrote about it at length<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Into the Breach<\/strong> (PC) – Failed right\u00a0at the end, so I knocked it down to easy mode for the next run and completely steamrolled the game because easy mode removes\u00a0nearly\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0of the challenge.<\/p>\n

Part-Time UFO<\/strong> (iOS) – I guess I shouldn’t have been, but I was caught off guard when this cute physics game about stacking objects trotted out a giant boss fight and a crazy-hard final level.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

~ Now Playing ~<\/h2>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Uranium<\/strong> (PC) – Have I mentioned that this game runs poorly? Because it runs really poorly. Yet, it’s still a very unique Pok\u00e9mon game, so I am honour-bound to keep playing.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/strong>\u00a0(iOS) – Now that they’ve added missions, I’ve been playing a lot again. Like, every day. It’s so much more fun now that there’s more to do than just catch ’em all.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Ultra Sun<\/strong> (3DS) – Booted it up\u00a0a couple times because… I’m not sure why. I think I just needed to play a for real<\/em> Pok\u00e9mon game. And I still need to finish it…<\/p>\n

Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/strong> (Switch) – Still goin’ at ‘er. It feels like a totally different game when you opt not to use fast travel or activate the map towers. Master Mode helps, too.<\/p>\n

Horizon: Zero Dawn<\/strong> (PS4) – I was about to take down my first Stormbird, then some rando NPC waddled by and stole my kill, and I got NO EXPERIENCE POINTS FOR IT. MRGRGRGR.<\/p>\n

Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut<\/strong> (Switch) – A slidey-puzzle game that I would have ignored completely<\/a> if not for the theme: 70’s\/80’s slasher films. They knew exactly<\/em> how to hook me.<\/p>\n

Ninja Striker!<\/strong> (Switch) – I mistook this for a port of the 3DS game Ninja Smasher!<\/a>, but it’s actually a spin-off that’s still\u00a0a lot of fun, but not nearly as metroidvania. Read eShop descriptions, kids!<\/p>\n

Agatha Knife<\/strong> (Switch) – Point-and-click adventure about a seven-year-old girl who wants to create a new religion called carnivorism. Clearly written by people who hate<\/em> religion.<\/p>\n

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes<\/strong> (PC) – You know those games you buy because you’re really excited to play them, but then you never actually have\/make time to play them?<\/p>\n

Rollercoaster Tycoon<\/strong> (PC) – Randomly picked up one night to kill time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
