Played Darksiders 3 some more.

Figured out what happens to souls after you die, a phantom / ghost like thingy start flying near the place, you just destroy it and get back the souls. Got a new powerup, and am at a place with many enemies. Turned it off the game when I kept dying. Will get back to it this weekend.


Also played some Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains.

So the game is apparently a port of the mobile version, which basically gives you lots of XP so you level up faster, making the game much easier. Which I like, since these older RPGs can be pretty tough.

The game has random encounters, which I am not a fan of, but you get the option to "Auto Attack" which makes these fights much faster, and with increased XP, it keeps the things moving fast. There is also a "Tame" mechanic which allows you to capture different monsters, and then with "Fusion system" you can merge different monsters or items to get different monsters or upgrade your equipment. You can also summon the monsters in battle, and they can help you attack the enemy.

There are also many side-quests and puzzles, but they are quite obtuse if you aren't used to these older games. The quests doesn't appear as anything special, you just talk to NPCs and they talk like other NPCs but mention some problem in it, so you have to fix their problem or whatever, without any log or marker or anything. Took me a bit getting used to, and actually missed a few side-quests in the first area.

The story and the world is pretty good though, even with subpar translation and the way font formatting is.

So far, I'll recommend it if you like older RPGs with good stories, and are willing to deal with some dated mechanics.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

  • Description:

Make mountains of trash disappear in seconds, and enjoy the satisfying feeling of turning messy spaces into organized and clean environments. This is a simple cozy game to unwind with, and spark some joy.

Vacuum, brush, mop, spray – there are many ways to make a place sparkling clean. As a new Cleaning Gig Worker, you will take on variety of requests – declutter a hoarded-up apartment, spiffy up old haunted mansion while avoiding ghosts, or solve puzzles in an ancient temple and find (and clean) the treasure room. Who knows, some of these might even seem familiar ;)

As you play, you will grow your prestige and earn cash, letting you upgrade your tools and purchase new outfits. Don’t fret, the game is very low-pressure, and you can always revisit levels with improved tools to get better scores.

Most importantly, bring many derelict locations back to life, with your trusty broom and vacuum!

Yeah, for the price I was hoping for more. I mean I had a few cool things, like 2 spring loaded flaps to center the switch in the unit. Oh and its new legs are technically compatible with the original Virtual Boy.

But man are the screens and software a mess. The switch is too close for the UI to be fully visible without moving your head, especially with the Red lenses. Plus the screen door effect is so bad here that it reminds me of the first gen Oculus Rift.

It actually made me want to go back to the original VB, but with its decaying 30+ year old displays. Technically the VB wins this one by default.

Wait it also requires an 80/year NSO + Expansion Pass and Knuckles Championship Edition subscription. Which has to be payed yearly.

Honestly it might be cheaper in the long run to buy the original system. Even with the price of Jack Bros.

The addition of the Virtual Boy to Nintendo's NSO service has us thinking fondly of the little red bi-pod. Well it just so happens that we were recently given some previously unseen footage of the Virtual Boy's western reveal at Winter CES in January of 1995.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Eilean Mor lighthouse fell silent. The light went out, its three keepers vanished, and no one answered the radio. As a reserve keeper, you are sent to investigate this mystery but beware: you may become the fourth to disappear. This is a single-player, first-person horror thriller developed by just two people.

Hey. I was wondering if anyone had a list of switch games that use the touch screen. I want to game more at night when the wife is asleep and the buttons tend to wake her up.

I really enjoyed playing Banner Saga on the switch for this reason. There’s a few that I had in mind, but most seem be cheaper to buy and play on the phone.

Currently playing Dungeons of Dreadrock which can be played with the touch screen.
