Played a bit more Arkham Origins and it really is great. The detective sections are honestly a big step up from City and the Most Wanted villains have been interesting so far. While this does come at the slight detriment of the main story not exactly being that compelling yet, there’s still time and the overall open world trappings are a tighter experience to make up for it.
@nessisonett Those swish holographic crime scenes are really something, aren't they? Lots of style and not a huge amount of substance, but they make you feel like a detective. Glad you're enjoying it, and I hope the story picks up for you, the more you progress.

Started playing Undertale on Switch. It's been in my backlog for so long and people constantly talk about this game that I felt like today is the day I'll start it up. So far I'm really liking it and you can clearly tell what kind of game it will be, i.e. one that doesn't take itself too seriously and will trick you a lot. The gameplay reminds me a lot of Earthbound, but with its own thing where you move around a cursor in order to avoid enemy attacks, which is really cool. I decided to play the game normally just like any other RPG but I'm already aware of the whole "pacifist run" you can do where you don't kill anything. That's just not for me, sadly. But it's cool that it's there if you want that option.
@LtSarge Yeah… you’re gonna miss out on half the game that way. Maybe even more than half. The true pacifist route is honestly the real game. If you’re killing everything and going down the genocide route then just be aware that the game will never forget your murders, even if you delete save files.
@nessisonett To clarify, I'm not planning on killing everything, which is apparently how you get the genocide ending. I've spared e.g. that ghost boss in the beginning. I think I'll mostly spare bosses or strong enemies in general, but otherwise I'll just kill most of the random encounters. That's supposed to count towards the neutral ending if I've understood it correctly.
I also looked up that apparently you need to do a neutral route first before being able to take on the true pacifist route, which is fair. I just want to play the game normally before doing a pacifist run because otherwise it would feel rather boring to not experience everything the game has to offer. Not to mention that you won't be able to level up if you don't defeat enemies, so I want to at least makes things easier on my first run.
So I got the biggest craving to play something on my Vita and I decided to not only resume my playthrough of Steins;Gate 0 via PS4 Remote Play but also start up a game that's been in my backlog for a long time now, which is Hotline Miami 2. I don't know why it took me so long to play this game because I loved the first one, which I think I played through over 5 years ago. It was one of the many titles that defined the Vita indie scene, so it feels rather nostalgic to be playing another entry from this great series.
Playing through Luigi’s Mansion 3 on Switch. I dunno how Nintendo manages to make games that look as good or better than some PS4 games on a console with inferior specs. It looks like a CGI movie.
I'm really enjoying anvil: vault breakers. To me, it's like an isometric risk of rain. Start with a character, get items/weapons to improve your run, etc. Really fun. Also, even though it's on the ps4, dying light for the switch. Runs really well in handheld, added with the hori split pad, and it's fun times all day.
@Bentleyma- Say what you will about Luigi's Mansion 3 but you're right, it looks utterly stunning! Was hugely impressed with its presentation and sense of humour, if little else.

Started playing Lake on Game Pass. I've had it on my watchlist for a while now but for some reason, I really was in a mood to play it today after having read its description. It's a mail delivery game, kind of like Death Stranding. You drive around in a rural American town set in the late 1980s and the gameplay loop is basically to deliver mail to different houses and places. It's a very chill game, you can listen to the radio while driving and sometimes you get to talk to the townsfolk while you do it. It sounds boring on paper, but man if there's one job that makes for a very fun video game, it's mail delivery. Question is how long the gameplay loop will remain fun, but at least so far it's been a great time.
@Bentleyma- Yeah, that was my biggest problem with it. Took my partner ages to learn the controls and then, when I turned up and he let me have a go, I just couldn't make any sense of 'em. Ended up watching him play something for once (which made for a nice change, at least)!

I am currently giving Super Kirby Clash on Switch a try. It seems pretty good so far. I like the look of the game. I think it says something about Nintendo that all their games look visually appealing.
After just playing on PlayStation consoles for the last few years, it’s nice to play so many colourful games.
@Bentleyma- I think one of the most appealing aspects of the Switch is that you'll see so many games that you won't find elsewhere. Not only Nintendo's own exclusives but also a lot of third-party exclusives because it's a popular machine in Japan. So you'll see tons of JRPGs, visual novels and other Japanese titles on there that are different and fun. Not to mention so many great indie titles. I've said this before, but Switch is truly the "spiritual successor" of PlayStation Vita. Tons of great games that you're able to play both on the TV and on the go. It's a phenomenal system.
