Revelations was really weird in that it seemed to stand to start off like the classic games then take a hard left turn into the modern action games. By the time I got to the last boss I was laughing at the absurdity.

My favourite is 4, having only played the demos for 5 and 6 (after hearing all about them, hence my lack of interest in going further with them; they're not 4  ) but I've heard a few times that if I love 4, I'll enjoy Revelations.drat, gotta give it a try sometime.

Playing it now, seems good so far, my only problem is the controls. I play with inverted Y axis, but doing so makes the motion controls inverted too, which is nonsense. I guess I just have to play with motion off, or unlearn decades of muscle memory?

I played with gyro off (because the game doesn't allow it with the pro controller) with no issue. The game was designed for 3ds first so it has to be pretty lenient at letting you aim properly.

Revelations is enjoyable but all the cutscenes are terrible and it's kind of ugly. I don't mean in a low res way, I know it's a port of a 3DS game, I just mean the art is kind of bleh.

Don't go anywhere near Outlast 2, because at least RE7 has character and isn't deploying edgelord shock tactics the whole way through. In fact, if memory serves, the first one and the DLC are getting Switch ports, so ditto for them, same criticism. (Especially the Eddie the Groom section of the DLC.)

Looking forward to seeing what the tweaks and changes are too. I have barely put it through its paces yet but this seems like a subpar port of this game. The "Plus" part is just the 2P mode, theres a main menu where you choose between Plus and the Original release, and plus is only 2P (you can play single player with an ai partner but who would do that). The original game contains all the same levels, backgrounds, music, etc. You can change the color of the dots now, thats new. Other than that is CE2 but with the enormous caveat of: this game has frame drops!!!! lots of them, especially once you get to the tail end of normal, which is the speed at which Expert starts. I haven't been able to try expert at all since you have to unlock it first but what the gently caress!

I would've prefered the 2D plane, and I'm not sure why the ghosts have to be 'angry' to hurt you in this one. And the slo-mo when you're about to get hit looked fun (though it's still in the 2P mode) And visually it seemed to be more vibrant somehow, as the maze refreshes as you collect fruit.

In Training posted:I have barely put it through its paces yet but this seems like a subpar port of this game. The "Plus" part is just the 2P mode, theres a main menu where you choose between Plus and the Original release, and plus is only 2P (you can play single player with an ai partner but who would do that). The original game contains all the same levels, backgrounds, music, etc. You can change the color of the dots now, thats new. Other than that is CE2 but with the enormous caveat of: this game has frame drops!!!! lots of them, especially once you get to the tail end of normal, which is the speed at which Expert starts. I haven't been able to try expert at all since you have to unlock it first but what the gently caress! Spellman posted:I'm only playing CE2+ on the Switch, which is my first CE game, but I can see what you mean and why someone might prefer the old one. I would've prefered the 2D plane, and I'm not sure why the ghosts have to be 'angry' to hurt you in this one. And the slo-mo when you're about to get hit looked fun (though it's still in the 2P mode)

Yeah i since tried out the 2P mode and it's actually kind of amazing and wish I knew somebody else locally who cared to play CE2 with me well. There are so many opportunities for sick play but alas...it's a fascinating design though and way more inventive that I was expecting.

I'm curious about Mulaka. It looks like it could be good, and potentially one of the ones that goes under the radar if it is.

Really nice guys who were really enthusiastic about the game. I'm buying it to support them and hopefully get more games like this.

I'm a few hours into Mulaka, and it seems okay. It's a little bit janky and most of the game could benefit from some extra refinement, but it's still quite charming and interesting enough that I don't regret buying. edit- I got out of bounds and found an easter egg:
