🎮 I wonder why no one is saying much about “Oceanhorn 2” in regards to Apple Arcade. I don’t have early access to Apple Arcade, so i can’t find out myself, but that is the game I was most looking forward to out of all of them.
🎮 I should probably stop playing “Breath of the Wild” (I’m in the middle of my second play-through) because it keeps me up too late at night. That may be a promise to myself that I can’t really keep, though.
🎮 The biggest lie I told myself this week is “I will not play ‘Hollow Knight’ for hours tonight”. Well, 10 PM through 1 AM last night were lost to an enjoyable romp through late-game bosses and achievements.
🎮 I have been playing a lot of Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey the past couple weeks. I am very glad I bought them. It’s good to have escapist fun for a change.
🎮 Transistor
I finished the game Transistor last night. I played it on my iPad Pro with a MFi controller.
It was a fun game with a great atmosphere (setting, sound design, visual design, etc.) but the story was a bit too opaque for my taste. You had to dig into the user interface and read a bunch of optional stuff to get a better idea of what is going on ints its disintegrating cyberpunk world.
It ended kind of abruptly and had a tragic ending, which is unusual, but maybe not for the game studio. Their prior game, Bastion, also had kind of a downer ending.
I’m not sure if I will do a replay of Transister, but I’m happy that I played it.
While I think I want a Nintendo Switch, I’m trying to make due for now with what I already have—an iPad Pro and a SteelSeries Nimbus controller. I’m not sure I even want to commit the time to gaming, but I am curious about the latest Mario and Zelda games.
