Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

RIP Fire Emblem Engage.

Engage is much more different from Three Houses than Sparks of Hope is from Kingdom Battle.  It's not even from the same developer.

@Ronnie did you have problems with sparks that spawn an enemy (or ally I guess) when they go through pipes? Always seems to get stuck on the other end. It doesn't freeze, they just stay in an idle animation that it never comes out of. 

Finally updated the game (been ignoring it for ages) so maybe that's fixed it but just quit a mission twice for this very reason and it's annoying.

I’m not sure about pipes but I’ve had allies seem to idle the battle indefinitely a couple of times. Had to quit out. Happened again so restarted the game and it was fine after that. Really annoying though.

I can't 100% remember the previous time but both of these were pipes (the same pipe in fact) but two different characters; one was something I spawned and the other was Bowser's special mechakoopa things.

Finally finished this yesterday (or at least the story). Had done most things up until the last full world but I wanted to get this finished before going on my travels. Ended up completing 81% and putting in 45 hours, which I think is the most I've spent on a game in ages.

The final battle was an interesting change, although I wouldn't say particularly challenging. Although I did find out at that point that Rabbid Rosalina can actually do a fair bit of damage. Hadn't really used her up until that point.

As I mentioned before I found the open world parts to be tricky to navigate around at times and in some ways it was an iterative sequel rather than anything substantially different, but the sparks did add a good twist to it. I would recommend this over the original, but unless you loved it I wouldn't recommend both.

Looking forward to seeing what they do with the DLC.

Tried the demo; went and bought the (base) game. :hehe: The production values and personality are still there, but it's the free movement that sold it to me. Felt great—it just clicked with me immediately. There doesn't seem to be any bonus from finishing the demo so I'll just crack on with the full game.

Played the demo yesterday, really enjoyed it. And luckily, a store just put it on sale for as cheap as about £20 (directly converted) so ordered it, going to pick it up tomorrow. I'll be playing Figment 2 this weekend for review purposes but after that, I think I'll dive into this. Looking forward to it. :)
