Finished Broforce!
Bought this game mainly for multiplayer, but had never finished the campaign, decided to do it in singleplayer. And I'm not sure it was a good idea - this game is very fun when you have a bunch of friends running around, blowing stuff and laughing at the chaos, but it gets very frustrating when playing solo.
You die too easily and too often, and since you always start the stage with a single life any time you don't have an extra life available near the start you're going to struggle. Once you have a buffer or two most stages flow well, but there were plenty of "die 10 times before making it to the extra life" moments.
There's a lot of deaths that feels like bullshit too. I get that the random nature of the characters is part of the game and sometimes you're going to get a shit character for the stage you're on, but many times you just jump across a ledge and die instantly to a previously off-screen enemy, or die to stuff unexpectedly falling from above.
Finally, holy crap that final boss had a LOT of lag (at least on the Switch version). Might actually be a good thing considering how fast and chaotic this game is, but I can't imagine how bad that would get with 4 players.
Finished A Short Hike!
What an adorable and relaxing little game. Gameplay is simple - you just explore, glide around, and chat to people while slowly going up a trail. It's very short (took me something like 2h), but I was smiling all the way through.
Definitely going to replay this one.
Finished Torchlight 2!
Felt like playing a good Diablo-like hack-and-slash, and saw one of my favorites on sale in the eShop. Did a run with an Engineer and a Cat pet, just smashing my way through with a hammer.
Haven't started any games after that yet, I've been a distracted by Magic Arena since yesterday's update added the Khans of Tarkir set and this lets me play my favorite deck ever (Izzet Phoenix) in that client. They also added a new format ("TImeless") that has been very interesting so far.
I have Broforce from PS+, but after reading your updates about it, I think I am just going to skip it.
How much of a replay value does "A Short Hike" has? I generally don't care about replaying much, and with my backlog, a small game that I can finish soon is a plus.
Not entirely sure, but howlongtobeat.com has it with 4.5h to 100%.
I mainly want to replay it for the relaxing feel, it was such a great experience overall.
