Let me tell you: limiting your team to poison-types makes the game <em>much<\/em> harder than it needs to be. There\u2019s a bunch of post-game content to play, but I may just put a bow on it here, as I wasn\u2019t even really feeling the main game to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yoshi\u2019s Crafted World<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; While it seems like everyone I listen to on the internet thinks this is the best Yoshi game since the original Yoshi\u2019s Island, I still like Woolly World more. You can\u2019t have Yoshi wear a Mega Man costume in Crafted World. But Crafted World is great! I played it far longer than necessary, breaking my rule of not attempting to go for a 100% clear in a Yoshi game. It\u2019s just so much more <em>possible<\/em> than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mega Man 2<\/strong> (NES) &#8211; Played through during a retro gaming get-together evening. My reputation was tarnished by requiring <em>three<\/em> continues, but I did make it past the disappearing blocks in Heat Man\u2019s stage without Item-2 for the first time in\u2026 forever? Also I had no idea that using a continue takes away any E-Tanks you\u2019ve collected, which is super lame. Just another argument for why Mega Man 3 is a better game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Universal Paperclips<\/strong> (iOS) &#8211; I was looking for recommendations on good idle\/clicker games, and this is the first one I went for. Bad news first: it will not serve as a good way to while away a few minutes here and there, as I finished it in a day. Good news: It is in fact a very cool clicker\/idle game. It changes up a lot as you play, and makes you think about managing your resources in different ways all throughout. I also like that it does have a definitive ending, it just came a little too soon (that\u2019s what she said).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Labo VR<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I purchased the basic kit, which comes with the VR Goggles and Blaster. There\u2019s only one real game there, and then a couple dozen neat little toys. The Blaster game is a fun rail shooter and it takes some applied effort to score all the gold medals. The real draw of Labo VR, however, was using it to play Breath of the Wild in VR (which is really just 3D mode).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">~Progress Notes~<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Cleared Vah Rudania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>METAGAL<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Cleared the 4 initial stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Fantasy IX<\/strong> (PS1) &#8211; Up to the start of Disc 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mechstermination Force<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; 7 mechs down out of ???<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resident Evil 4<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Up to Chapter 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Picross S3<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I\u2019ve done maybe half the puzzles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Completed the first 5 worlds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ Game Over ~ Pok\u00e9mon Ultra Sun (3DS) &#8211; I took to playing this on the very long bus rides home from school, and finally finished up the main story.
