Link\u2019s Awakening<\/strong> (Switch) – A wonderful shot-for-shot remake of my favourite Zelda game. Honestly, I think I would have liked to see a little more changed\/added to it, to really justify the choice to remake it. The new presentation and quality-of-life tweaks were great though, so I really shouldn\u2019t complain. Excellent game. Had a strong urge to dive right into a replay after finishing it, but there\u2019s so much else to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transistor<\/strong> (Switch) – Transistor is clearly the follow-up to Bastion, and it was better than Bastion in nearly every way. The story was more complex and interesting, the characters were more than mechanical puppets, the gameplay was deeper but never overwhelming. I wasn\u2019t a huge fan of the more sterile visual style, but I suppose that was kind of the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Super Kirby Clash<\/strong> (Switch) – I got the credits to roll in both the single-player and multiplayer modes, so that\u2019s \u201cbeaten\u201d for you. I still have a few lingering quests and tons of heroic missions to complete, but I may not bother. Freemium grinds are always the worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Deer God<\/strong> (Switch) – I wrote a full review<\/a> of this, and even did a video for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spyro 2: Ripto\u2019s Rage!<\/strong> (PS4) – They tried to flesh-out the too-simple gameplay of Spyro 1, but mostly by piling on more annoying mini-games. At least I felt like I was doing something to earn my collectible baubles in this one, but I found it more tedious than the first game. Also, Moneybags the bear is clearly the true villain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yoshi\u2019s Island<\/strong> (SNES) – I\u2019ve always said it\u2019s a fool\u2019s errand, and that I couldn\u2019t be bothered to even try, but I cleared the game to 100%. SNES Online\u2019s rewind function helped a lot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monster Hunter World: Iceborne<\/strong> (PS4) – I wrote a full thing<\/a> about this one, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kirby\u2019s Dream Land 3<\/strong> (SNES) – I truly would like to like this game more, but it\u2019s just so damn slow. The characters move slow, nearly every power halts your momentum completely, and going back to a double-tap run is so tedious. Has a beautiful crayon-like art style though, and 100% completion (required for the true final boss) isn\u2019t a total pain in the butt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luigi\u2019s Mansion: Dark Moon<\/strong> (3DS) – There’s a full review on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pixel Puzzle Collection<\/strong> (iOS) – 95%<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pic-A-Pix Pieces<\/strong> (Switch) – 14.5\/20 panels complete<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon<\/strong> (PS4) – Cleared second hubworld to 100%<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phantaruk<\/strong> (Switch) – Passed the second elevator load point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ring Fit Adventure<\/strong> (Switch) – Just about through World 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kentucky Route Zero<\/strong> (PC) – Cleared Act 1, onto… Bureaucracy the Game?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ~ Game Over ~ Link\u2019s Awakening (Switch) – A wonderful shot-for-shot remake of my favourite Zelda game.
