I feel like as I get older. I find relaxing games like this to be more and more appealing
That's how I feel about playing games at higher or super hard or insane difficulty.
What the Hell for?
I already deal with enough stress in my life from work and whatnot - I play games to relax, unwind, and escape. The last thing I want is to feel stress and rage from it, especially to the point where I want to chuck my controller through a window.
you and I are not the same— I always opt for the hardest difficulty options. (Clair Obscur was utterly painful… literally 30min battles of needing to never miss as little as a single parry.)
I view it as developing my “gaming muscles.” Hand over any Mario game and I can have that beat without breaking a sweat at this point in my life. Same goes for MarioKart regarding GPs and TTs.
Have you given the Japanese SMB2 a shot? If not, I encourage it (the original version and sans save states). Talk about a challenge. lol
Yeah um… that is the one Mario game I have avoided. Lol! I’ve only ever heard horror stories. Maybe I’ll give it a shot next weekend… hmm.
It's definitely a challenge. Like you, I can blow through 2D Mario games like the wind through a net, but that is the one Mario that really challenges me. It can be done, of course, but you have to commit, take it slow and be prepared to die twenty times just to get past one level lol. Still worth it, though. If not just to say you did it (and for completest's sake).
Looks very cute
Yoshi X Harry Potter
Nintendo is relegating to social media release dates lately with no general Direct lol. Day one though!
Interesting… I’ll have to see more. Love the art style!
I'm probably the only one that prefer Yoshi games over Mario games for my 2D gaming!
So, does anyone else think this is an Arzest game?
I really like the structure of this. You explore the world to find creatures and collect information of their natural behavior and make experiments to understand its biological mechanism. Basically a Darwin simulator.
I will love to see what more they got for chain-reaction elements
