Games Beaten
-Sonic: Lost World (Wii U)
I really wanted to like this game. It keeps the colors power ups from Sonic Colors but whereas the levels in that game were brilliantly designed around the colors, those power ups feel tacked on at best here. Some levels are still very good but many feel aimless or frustrating. The new villains are a misfire too. Between their cliched personalities and generic designs, they are easily forgettable. The free Yoshi and Zelda DLC is awesome, though, and the music is quite good.
Games Bought
Other than the PS+ games for the month, the only game I got was a birthday present: Splatoon (Wii U). Now I can finally find out what the fuss is about this game. PS+ netted me Stories: The Path of Destinies (which looks pretty interesting) and Invisible, Inc. for the PS4. I didn't look into what Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops (PS4/PS3/Vita) and Color Guardians (PS4/Vita) are about but Hyper Void (PS4/PS3) looks like a variation on Tempest. Finally, there was VVVVVV, the super hard gravity-flipping platformer, which will be a great fit for Vita.
Now Playing
-Destiny: Rise of Iron (PS4)
Destiny has had its holiday event, The Dawning, going for the last couple of weeks and I've been playing a lot of that in what time I have.
-Pokémon Sun (3DS)
My wife has already finished Pokémon Moon but I still have a ways to go, I think. Heading to the ghost trial next.
-Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition (PS4)
We played this one time in our busy December but it was the first time we'd played in a while. Hopefully we can finish it up this month.
I think I might need to make sure I claimed all this month's PS4 games. I know I have Color Guard and Invisible Inc., but not sure about some others.
Still wish they just automatically put PS+ games in my library. Hated missing out on some gems this year cause I was too busy to think about claiming those "free" games I pay $50/year for.
I've only missed one month of PS+ games from being forgetful...but it was the month they gave away Dragon's Crown. Still mad about that.
Nice to see you back around. You had disappeared for a while (like I'm one to talk lol). Glad to see it wasn't a permanent change.
The only thing I liked about Sonic Lost World was the Zelda and Yoshi DLC levels. I am looking forward to Sonic Mania, though. From what I've played, it looks to most feel like Sonic 3, which is one of the few Sonic games I actually like.
Splatoon was my Game of the Year back in 2015. If you want to know what my Game of the Year is in 2016, I just posted a blog about that!
I had high hopes for Lost World after enjoying Sonic Colors so much (it's probably my favorite Sonic game). Silly of me think Sonic Team could maintain a certain level of quality from one game to the next -___-
I just commented on your blog!
I'm curious about Tiny Troopers.
It looks kind of generic to me and it's hard to get interested in something like that when there are so many games to play. Maybe it's really good! Perhaps I'll try it one day.
Seems good. It would be awesome if you could play it co-op, but I don't think you can.
Yes, you finally got Splatoon!!! It's easily one of the best Wii U games out there, and you'll see why once you start playing. It's also Nintendo's ONLY new IP on the Wii U, so it's very special.
We'll have to play together! (You know, once you're in a position to do that sort of thing again.)
