Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade recap for March 22, 2024. In today’s article, we end the week by taking a have a look at quite various Friday releases. We have quite a couple of really decent games in today’s lineup, which is a welcome sight currently. We’ll analyze all of them, summarizing the games which can be value taking a better have a look at. Then we have now latest sales to browse together with the same old list of expiring weekend discounts. Let’s get to the weekend!

New releases

Princess Peach: It’s showtime! ($59.99)

It’s been a superb while since Peach’s last starring role, so it’s nice to see her back within the highlight in the sport. involves us via developer Good-Feel, who has created some cool games like and . Peach must save the Sparkle Theater from the evil Grapes and the Sour Bunch, and to achieve this she is going to must wear many various hats. We will review this product as soon as possible, however the consensus thus far appears to be relatively positive.

Legend of Legacy HD Remastered ($49.99)

I feel every Japanese RPG fan remembers the primary time they got FuRyu’d. You know the way it really works. FuRyu broadcasts a brand new game with several creators from famous games of the past, and you get excited on the thought that it’s going to be nearly as good as those old games, only to get something decidedly more… in-between? Well, on Nintendo 3DS it was mine. Things were pretty quiet during this time, and the thought of some veterans getting back together to create an identical game was exciting. It didn’t quite hit the mark, but that doesn’t suggest it’s a foul game. Early next week I’ll be taking a have a look at the HD remaster of this game as a part of a review to share my impressions with you.

UNINVERTISED ($24.99)

Hi, . This game was all the trend ten years ago, and I imagine if I went and took a have a look at it, I’d find it’s still quite popular. Here’s the Switch port of the sport. Survive a zombie-infested world alone or with friends, using all of the resources you could find across nine maps to maintain the undead at bay. It’s almost as “not my cup of tea” as gaming gets, nevertheless it didn’t develop into popular for a reason.

Laika: Aging Through Blood ($19.99)

This game describes itself as a Western-inspired motoring game, and that is quite a feat considering what it offers. You play as a motorcycle-riding coyote warrior who wants revenge on those that wronged her people. People have been having fun with this game on PC for a while now, and I do not think it’s going to have any trouble finding an audience amongst Metroidvania fans on Nintendo Switch.

The Other Side of the Obelisk ($24.99)

Are you ready for an additional turn-based roguelite style deckbuilder game? If so, here’s one other one. It’s a fairly good game too, but bear in mind that there is also some DLC that effectively doubles the value of the sport. I feel essentially the most virtue of this game is that you would be able to play online co-op with as much as 4 players. Anyway, I do not have anything to say about it, but I actually appreciate the pig priest and I don’t need to depart without saying it.

Flower Shop: Winter in Fairbrook ($9.99)

This visual novel, a sequel to , sees you guide Natalie as she tries to survive the winter break by working at a flower shop in Fairbrook. Yep, every little thing matches the title thus far. Well done. It’s a dating simulator with light farming elements incorporated into it. You’ll give you the option to succeed in one among nine different endings depending on the way you confer with other characters and the way you spend your time every day. If you liked the primary part, why not?

Redgar: Space Viking ($14.99)

If you liked this, you may want to ascertain out this story-driven top-down shooter. It’s a few Viking in space. He has various weapons. They may be used on a wide range of enemies. In this sense, every little thing may be very “point A to point B”. The soundtrack is absolutely good too. I do not think it lives as much as its inspiration in any way, nevertheless it’s ok that I feel it’s value trying when you’re serious about this type of play.

Vault Stalker ($6.99)

Here’s one other tribute to 8-bit gaming, and while it is not a patch, it’s decent enough. Since this can be a Red.Deer release, the value is higher than usual on other platforms. Wait for the soon-to-come deep discount if you desire to pick it up since it’s already coming.

Finding America: The West Collector’s Edition ($9.99)

Search for hidden objects…!

Bunch of Bins

Kingdom of the Corrupt ($5.80)

To Heaven ($9.99)

Legacy of Drift ($19.99)

3D Multi Maze ($4.99)

Virtual Girl Dating Simulator ($9.99)

Reaper Survivors ($4.99)

Turnover

There’s loads of great things on today’s list, including sales from NIS America, ININ Games, Bethesda, and more to think about. Stuck in between all this, I would like to call out the bottom price ever. There’s not much in your outbox, so be happy to allocate your funds to latest things. Check out these lists!

“PiKuBo” Review – A solid take on “3D Picross,” but a little more minor

Published

14 hours ago

May 8, 2024

IAM

Thinking back to after I first got my iPhone, certainly one of the sooner games I purchased was a decent little sequel to a Nintendo game called . It was implemented quite well and I had a nice time going through all of its puzzles. I expected more games on this style, but similar to on consoles, they never really got here out. Here’s one: (free). If you have played it before, it’s pretty clear what it does, but as at all times, the devil is in the small print. Is it price a try? Investigation time!

Let’s speak about money first, because that is how the world works. As you may see, this game is free to download. It won’t hassle you with ads or anything. You get the primary puzzle pack without paying a cent, which is a good option to see for those who like what’s included or not. You get just over thirty puzzles to unravel, together with some nice tutorials that specify things to latest players and can seem incredibly long for those who already know what you are doing. At the time of writing this review, there are two more puzzle packs available under IAP. Each of them offers thirty-six additional puzzles to unravel. I imagine the developer will release more packages if there’s demand. All in all, you are paying a couple of dollars for about a hundred puzzles. He is’nt bad.

However, I do have one die to select with these puzzle packs. The puzzles included in each follow the identical overall difficulty curve because the included pack, which implies you may waste a few of them on incredibly easy puzzles that you’re going to solve in seconds. Chances are everyone who bought these packs has already played the initial set, and I do not see why we’d wish to return to the fundamentals again. So lots of the puzzles are quick and easy that the entire thing feels a lot smaller than you need. Perhaps future packs shall be themed in order that those that want easier or harder puzzles can get what they specifically want? I just spit.

The puzzles range in difficulty and overall I benefit from the challenge of the more difficult puzzles. Going beyond that, an important thing about a game like that is the way you control it. Like its 2D counterpart, it really works best with a stylus, some buttons, and a resistive touchpad. Adapting a lot of these games, even for iPhone, at all times comes with its own challenges. One of them is the way to cope with swapping marking and exploding cubes. Another is the way to fit larger puzzles onto the screen while leaving the cubes large enough to work with. approaches this difficult task with some interesting ideas.

By default, tapping the screen lets you simply move the puzzle. You can pinch and… remove the pinch? Honor? Do the other of pinching. This will let you zoom out and in of the puzzle. There are arrows on the side of the screen that let you move layer by layer within the puzzle, and that is a pretty standard way of going about it. Now if you desire to paint or break blocks, there are buttons for that. You might think you tap the one you desire to use and just go to town. Well, type of. When you tap the button for every motion, it’ll remain lively until you tap the cube. A short window will then appear where, for those who keep pressing, you’ll proceed doing this. After the time expires, the motion is deselected. This reduces the danger of accidents and I feel it’s a good idea, even when it’s a little annoying at times.

Overall, I feel he’s on top of things as best he can. With larger puzzles there’s definitely limited screen space and there are definitely accidents now and again, but these are also problems with the unique 3D Picross games. If you make a mistake, you’ll lose heart. If you run out of hearts, you should have to begin the puzzle again. You may also lose by losing time. Once you complete the puzzle, you will receive a rating from one to 3 stars, depending on how you probably did. When you complete a puzzle set, it’ll be marked with a crown so what you have accomplished.

In terms of options, you may have a selection of 4 different paint colours to make use of within the cubes. You can independently turn off music and sound effects, turn off the cooldown of the paint/break buttons, use left-handed mode, and reset your progress for those who want to accomplish that. There’s also a quick save option here, in case it is advisable to stop playing in the midst of a big puzzle to make pasta or something. And that is all. The graphics do their job, and the music is nice, relaxing and conducive to solving puzzles.

is a great option to find a solution on your mobile device, with a great choice of free puzzles and extra puzzle packs available at very reasonable prices. All that is wrapped in a highly functional interface and topped with cool melodies. Since the primary box is free, you do not even need to take my word for it. Download it and take a look at it out. My only real gripe is that the additional puzzle packs contain very basic puzzles that actually shouldn’t take up space after we only have about a hundred puzzles. Otherwise, that is a very fun puzzle game for Picross lovers.

Helldivers 2’s community manager seemingly disappeared after a PlayStation login failure

Picture: : Arrowhead Studios

After this, the whole lot on the earth returns to normal Sony has modified course on the controversial PSN login requirement for the favored sci-fi shooter on PC. However, it appears that evidently not everyone made it out of the general public relations fiasco in a single piece. Arrowhead Studios community manager Spitz is seemingly not a part of the team after encouraging players to review the sport and refund the sport to be able to get Sony to alter its decision.

Gaming Week: Co-op bug fixes and more

“Today is a black day” – Spitz he wrote ominously on Discord on May 7. Players began to note something was mistaken when the community manager’s account was faraway from the shipping channel where the Arrowhead team shares details about recent Galactic War updates to the sport. “So who will be sending the orders from the high command,” one player asked. “I don’t,” Spitz replied. They didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.

The community manager had He wasn’t on Discord before shortly after players began to rebel against the reinstatement of the requirement to log in to a PSN account before playing on Steam. Spitz initially commented that the community’s outrage was overblown, and later moved on to the concept that review bombing the sport would give Arrowhead more leverage to bypass Sony’s requirements.

“Players expressing their dissatisfaction through reviews, refunds, etc. gives us more vigor in the discussion with Sony,” Spitz wrote on Discord on May 4. “It is painful to see the game’s popularity decline in the rankings, but discussions are ongoing and we are on the players’ side in this fight.” Players began leaving 150,000 negative reviews and demand a refund while the sport has been withdrawn from sale on PC in lots of of nations that don’t support PSN accounts.

Sony eventually backed down on this requirement, after which Spitz returned to Discord on May 6 to say that he almost lost his job. “Almost. Not really,” they wrote when someone asked in the event that they had been fired. “Turns out that telling people to bomb a game and refund their money for the game is not a popular decision by a publisher. But I’m still here and I’m glad we all did differences. “

This doesn’t appear to be the case anymore. It’s unclear whether Spitz was simply reassigned from his role as community manager to a different position or if he was fired from Arrowhead altogether. Some players suggest Spitz could have left. At least a hundred players have this signed the petition for the community manager to come back back. “It’s really sad that people are calling for individuals to be fired,” a fan wrote on Discord. “No matter who it is, they are a person. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone can do better.”

Arrowhead and Sony didn’t immediately reply to requests for comment.
