I'll look into the joycon covers! I haven't heard of the letter quest games honestly.
Have you tried hollow knight? That, Breath of the Wild, and Mario Odyssey are the main things I've played there.
I'll look into the diet thing, but I think my issue is hereditary. Both my parents have pretty severe joint issues, and the jobs I've had have put pretty big strain on my joints as well. But you never know, so I'll talk to my doctor and see if it could be diet related as well.
I don't know. They took a while to roll a lot of old games out on wii-u, but i thought they'd learn from that console, not repeat mistakes.
As do I. A less stressful version of xcom sounds great!
They put dubstep in a mana game? That's a little cringey.
Detective pikachu sounds pretty interesting honestly. I might have to grab it.
It does get more colourful in later areas, it's mainly just the first one and a few others that are more washed out. It does get pretty vibrant, especially in some mid to late game areas.
Mainly it's just the gameplay and atmosphere. Unfortunately the game is a bit slow t get going, but once it does open up it's an amazingly diverse game. What starts as a simple "hit enemies until they die" evolves with different charms you can find. Equipping different loadouts for different scenarios is great, and they do things like double health at the expense of not being able to heal, making your attacks significantly stronger if you die the charm breaks, and so on and so fourth. There's are a lot of these and a lot of variety.
It's very Souls like, but it doesn't steal the combat like most games does. It instead takes the atmosphere, worldbuilding, and weirdness of Demons and Dark Souls 1. Also, it's a thirty hour game that adoesn't outstay its Welcome. It has dozens upon dozens of bosses, and a ludicrous amount of areas that are distinct. There are npcs that will attack you and ways to make some enemies friendly or non hostile. It has some cool things it doesn't tell you that allow for sequence breaking, Like being able to bounce on spikes duck tales style, as well as some other things.
The only problem I have is that the first hour and a bit sell the game a bit short. They aren't bad, but they make it feel a bit more generic than the later sections show.
Yeah I'm jealous as fuck.
I found Rayman origins weirdly creepy as a child. Fom memory it was pretty dark for a kids game.
If you're having trouble with Turok 2, night dive studios did a remaster of both Turok 1 and 2 on pc that fix a lot of options with the game, let you run it on modern hardware, and removes the insane amount of fog in both games. They're around $15 on steam, so if controls are the main issue and you want to finish them again thats an option.
I lost too many hours to Pokemon snap as a child. Even had the Pokemon n64!
Aaron bought me a copy of Hexen and heretic back when he still frequented here. I kinda miss him. Good game though.
Why aren't you interested in Hollow knight if I might ask? It's definitely one of my all time favourites, and this is my third time through.
Celeste is also awesome. It's just a bit too intensive in terms of platforming for an analogue stick, and the dpads the switch aren't really up to it in my opinion. But I have skinny thumbs, so that might not be helping.
I thought Dead Cells would be meh too imo, and initially it was. But I spent a stupid amount of time on it, and grew to enjoy it over time. It's not as amazing as everyone said it is, but it's a fun little roguelite title that keeps getting better every time the debs add something.
Have have you played Mad Max? If so I'm just interested in how you feel about this title in comparison? I definitely felt a strong Mad Max vibe when originally playing it, and I think the game does some similar things. Despite not being an fps, I feel both games do cool things with vehicle combat, and I liked Mad Max while Not liking Rage. Maybe it was just not liking that type of game or something at the time though, or maybe Mad Max does something this doesnt. Idk.
