The @Hero-of-Time I know could crank that out by the end of January and still have time to contemplate suffering further combat tedium with Okamiden too! -
Battle mode? Battle mode. I'd dictate stages, but there's only 8, so I think we can get through each one at least once tonight without guidance, right? See you at 8pm. -
Ok, I realise I still need to write up a few of the games I’ve played in recent months before everyone’s moved onto the 2025 thread. Sackboy (PS5) I wish there were more games like this. A lengthy 3D platformer that’s serviceable in single-player, but really comes into its own when played alongside others. I played the majority of this with my wife and we had a blast traversing the textile levels. Playing as LittleBigPlanet’s woolly protagonist, everything from your own character to the enemies themselves looked lovely and hand-made. The platforming itself wasn’t revolutionary, but did everything well. Linear with plenty of items and secrets hidden just off the path. You primarily have the ability to jump, slap, roll and throw, which allow for neat tricks in co-op such as having to throw a team-mate onto another platform in order to get to out-of-reach items. In our case this lead to many laugh-out-loud instances where one of us was ‘accidentally’ (or so it was claimed) thrown off an edge to our doom. Enough levels also gave us a specific skill or item just for that level, such as shurikens or a rope to latch and swing on certain surfaces. It gave enough variety to keep us entertained. Essentially you just had to reach the end of each level, but each levels was sprinkled with heaps of orbs that could collected along the way. These vary between those that count towards your ranking come the end and those that grant you outfits for your avatar. There are plenty of outfits and also help to distinguish who’s who when the action heats up on screen. When played in co-op it also tells you who collected the most, and the winner of each level gets their photo taken too (which ultimately turns into which other player can sabatage it the most!). I found some of the best levels were the ones played out to licenced music, such as Uptown Funk or Toxic, with the action often lining up with the tune. A little like Rayman’s musical levels, but not so strict in missing a beat forcing you to die. I tried it in single-player and it was ok, but really does excel and want you to play co-operatively, with some levels only available to play with multiple players. It did get a little harder later on too, so while in co-op you all share the same stack of lives, I feel a younger or inexperienced player will enjoy the early levels but will only get so far (or at least that was the experience I had watching my daughter play with her grandparents). As I said at the beginning, I wish there were more decent co-op platformers out there, as this was a lot of fun and something we enjoyed playing together. Link to my 60-second review -
It's going to get a remastered port with upgraded graphics and visuals, that will then run like arse on the Switch 2, so Dcubed can then complain and say he's going to wait until the Switch 3 is released to play it. -
Finished my first run at 2am with red deck Hanging Chad, Lucky cat, Scholar, DNA. Mime and Mystic Summit. Basicly was playing 4 of a kind Aces and turning as many Aces as I could into lucky cards. Scholar would trigger the Ace add the mult and chips then maybe trigger the lucky effect then hanging chad would retrigger the effect another two times. Would sometimes end up with 40 mult off of one card then it would trigger the other three aces once giving me $20 or the mult on occasion. Mime would retrigger metal cards and add more mult multiple times and if i had no discards left Mystic Summit would add another 15 mult on top. If i kept upgrading the four of a kind and adding lucky aces and metals to the deck i was getting hundreds of thousands per hand played by the end of it. Ended up unlocking blueprint and a couple of other jokers and decks
