• Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

I’ve been looking forward to this one since its announcement, partly because the series’ namesake is finally the protagonist for once. I’m pleased to report that she isn’t just Link in a new cloak, which hooked me even more after getting my hands on it.

Rather than swinging the sword, her gameplay revolves around spawning objects and even enemies at will, and that is seamlessly incorporated both in combat and solving puzzles. It’s important to think about how enemies interact with each other and the environment, and sometimes that requires out-of-the-box thinking. It’s an approach that I think works both as enticing to relative newcomers (like myself) and a welcome change of pace for Zelda veterans. I definitely recommend this one to the Switch owners here.

I have watched a bit of gameplay and it looks fun. It has a very similar vibe to TotK, but 2D.

I got this game yesterday on a whim, I haven't been following it whatsoever and I didn't watch reviews or anything like that so I had no idea what the game would be like. I was initially a bit let down it wasn't just playing as Zelda with a sword, but then quickly got hooked to the new mechanics of spawning items and enemies. It's a bit of a puzzle game mixed into a Zelda world and it's very addicting to see which items/enemies work best in any scenario.

I suppose one minor complaint is that once you start collecting more and more echoes the selection screen becomes a little tedious to browse through. Maybe a grid layout would work better there.

The comparisons to TOTK are very apt IMO. While Echoes has a linear main quest to follow, the game otherwise lets you loose with exploring and the tools at your disposal. I haven’t felt this excited discovering new places and items in a game in quite some time.

carx street is cool and all. But ill be waiting for it to come to console. I have fun on car x drift on my ps4.

Been playing walltap. On roblox. It has "realistic tyre thermals"

Just acquired one of the most annoying Fallout 4 Nuka World achievements (redeem 100.000 Nuka-cade tickets). Now onto the last 5 trophies until I'm done with this and move on to finishing AC6.

TOCA Race Driver 3, dug out my original Xbox and wanted to try out the code generator things I saw mentioned on here to unlock all the various classes I never got round to. Fully licenced Aussie V8 Supercars, DTM, British F3, Castle Combe, Mondello Park, Indycar….I’d forgotten just how big this game is. Somehow on the Xbox it looks more solid than I remember and that slightly grainy, muted look on my CRT kinda fits with the broadcasts of mid 2000s races, so…..it’s fine. It’s 20 years old and genuinely looks fine. The rally physics are poor but aside from that, it’s fun and I’d forgotten that it even has a track inspired by the Scottish loch bonus track from TOCA 2. This was making a very good stab at Project CARS ten years before that even saw the light of day. It’s a shame it never got an Xbox360 version with HD visuals because it was released after the next gen was introduced I think.

Continuing my streak of getting distracted, I accidentally shelved Blade Runner in favour of Gran Turismo 4 Spec II v1.5 which is awesome. Playing it on a Deck is a real "what a time to be alive" kind of game. It still looks insanely good for its age, too.
