Witcher 3 is probably the gold standard for open world games and that’s a big game to put on the switch.

I picked up Hollow Knight on the Switch during this sale. I don’t know anything about it, other than the reviews have been excellent. I’ve only got maybe an hour into it, but does it get better? It just feels like a basic 2D side scroller. I’ll keep going, but I’ve got a feeling it’s just adored by that indie loving crowd.

BIG TITTY ADVENTURE VIII was nowhere as good as IV or VI.

The real challenge of the game was time management and, to a lesser extent, ordnance management.

Turbolasers don't have much range, and the enemy AI gunners only do a constant line lead, so jinking on the way to a target made the enemy essentially incapable of hitting you. Missiles required constant maneuver to evade (or just shoot them), but you could essentially fly in a mass of enemy fire and never get hit if you constantly changed direction. That just meant if you didn't defang them by killing enemies, knocking turrets out, etc, you'd eventually be so swarmed that you basically couldn't straighten out for more than a fraction of a second to fire at a target or scan something or the like.

On missions without time limits, to run the score up, this meant a single TIE fighter could eventually knock out capital ships and such if you were exceptionally patient just to run up the score and get more tats.

The targeting system was also incredibly robust, with sub system targeting in a display that oriented to you, making it easy to tell if you had angle on that cannon, launcher, engine or whatever from where you were. The minefield missions are good practice for figuring out your current craft and the targeting system. Until you get the missle-boat, then slam overdrive everywhere.

You could deal with the swarming by distancing yourself from capitol ships and popping the fast bastards first since one wing of fighters is bound to try and follow you. One hundred percenting missions in that usually involves a lot of cat and mouse, and scanning everything before it runs away. You can't always kill all of your targets but the secret order appreciates you tagging everything.
