Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade recap on May 3, 2024. May the third one be with you! Hmm. Doesn’t really work, does it? Friends, no surprises this 12 months. We have some latest releases to have a look at, but perhaps because of the Golden Week holidays in Japan, it is not a really spectacular collection. Lots of garbage, actually. But there are some fun games to think about, including one that you just play with a box. Once we have reviewed them, we’ll move on to our usual lists of latest and expiring sales. Let’s end the week!

New releases

Cyber ​​Citizen Shockman 3: Princess from Another World ($5.99)

The third and final game changes the gameplay once more, this time offering something more just like the series. Beat the degrees, do some platforming, and do a whole lot of slicing and dicing. This is the primary time this game is officially available in English, which is pretty cool. It supports as much as two players in local multiplayer. I’ll have a review on this soon, so keep your eyes peeled for more details.

Outbreak Fedora Files What Lydia Knows ($19.99)

Interesting edition. There are two games here, each based on the universe. One is a visible novel with a choice-based structure and multiple endings, while the opposite is a roguelite RPG. None of them are very fancy, but should you’re already invested on this universe, you may get more out of it.

Bruce and the Box ($5.20)

Bruce is in a little bit of trouble. He lost every thing, even the garments on his back. He only has a cardboard box and you could have to assist him get home safely. So… it is a weird game. You need to play it with a box. Any box will do. You put the Joy-Con down and raise and lower the box in front of the infrared sensor as needed. Of course, this would possibly not work in handheld mode, but should you like games with unconventional gameplay, you will not find anything more odd this week.

Plantabi: Little Garden ($6.99)

Here’s just a little gardening game by which you grow plants and decorate your space. Fulfill orders from customers and expand the available selection. There’s even a stranger buddy you may make friends with if you wish to really wow your garden. This doesn’t seem to be a really big or complicated game, but it surely could also be enough on your needs.

Cleanse Club ($19.90)

Oh please tell me this name refers to what I feel it refers to. Phew, looks like not. The story behind this visual novel is ubiquitous. There is a man that a lady has a crush on, or perhaps other girls have crushes on him too? A lady starts a club that helps other people, but then one other girl who hates her and can also be student president decides to interfere? I do not know, and this terrible location definitely doesn’t help. As all the time, I am unable to recommend a game focused solely on reading that hasn’t even mastered the art of word wrapping.

Spirit Exchange ($19.90)

Another visual novel from the identical publisher as . It’s type of a body-swap story, where the spirits of a young man and a lady intertwine in a lady’s body. Will they find a way to seek out a solution to separate? Will they each survive this process? And what is going to they learn along the best way? It’s hard to say because, as usual, the situation is admittedly bad here. It’s a pity, especially at such prices.

Get Out of the Slums 11 ($2.50)

Another game of this kind. I feel I’ll start moving them to Bin Bunch soon. Anyway, you retain moving forward. If you see anything strange, come back. Otherwise you’ll keep moving forward. A rather fancier approach. But only barely.

Bunch of Bins

Gold Pirate Mission ($4.99)

Life of a Knight ($9.99)

All Noobs Must Die – Crafts, Survival, Mine ($12.99)

Amelia’s Dinner ($4.99)

Turnover

Big list of today’s latest sales. I’ll shout out a couple of. recently launched and is a whole lot of fun to shoot. it’s a reasonably decent tackle the entire card-based roguelite RPG thing. is a fun platformer that has never been cheaper. Not much within the weekend inbox, so I’ll leave that to you.

That’s all for today and this week, friends. We’ll be back next week with more latest games, more sales, more reviews, and perhaps some news. This 12 months I’m participating within the stay-on-team campaign again, which suggests I’ll be playing a whole lot of games and keeping some money in my pocket. I feel there’s only a lot we are able to do in times like these. I hope you all have a implausible weekend and, as all the time, thanks for reading!

, Bethesda’s big space RPG released last yr, is getting a giant new update later this month. One of crucial added features is 3D surface and city maps, something the sport has needed since launch. But these new maps also show that the biggest cities are actually quite small.

1 May Bethesda has revealed patch notes for its next major update. And although the new patch has not been fully released yet, players who’ve the sport on Steam can go for an earlier, its beta version and see all of the new changes Bethesda has planned, including additional difficulty settings, UI tweaks, and fancy new 3D maps of planets and cities. If you remember, throughout the premiere the maps were heavily criticized for being unhelpful and difficult to make use of. In this new update, surface maps look much nicer and are more useful for navigation. However, it also shows that almost all cities in Poland are really small. Like… strangely small.

Let’s have a look at The city of Akilia first, a frontier town positioned on an abandoned planet.

I didn’t expect this city to be huge, but it looks so tiny once I see it on the new 3D map within the Reddit post. I often got lost walking around it, which made it appear bigger, but once I zoomed out on the camera, it turned out to be actually quite small and condensed.

The next city I would like to indicate is New Atlantis, which is one in every of the primary major cities you are prone to visit and is the de facto capital of the vast, galaxy-spanning United Colonies.

However, New Atlantis is more like a big shopping center with a medium-sized car parking zone. When I played, I had a sense that New Atlantis was small – it felt like I used to be running through an outside mall – but seeing it on a new 3D map only confirmed that.

Perhaps the saddest and smallest city I noticed on the new 3D map screen is the town of Neon, a seedy city built on platforms above an alien ocean.

While playing, Neon looked more like several buildings connected by one large street than an actual city. However, I didn’t expect Neon to look so tiny on the new 3D surface maps. So tiny. So cute.

Of course, these exterior views of the sport’s major cities don’t tell the entire story. If you go inside buildings or underground, one can find areas not visible in these overhead views.

These places also received new 3D maps, but they are not as pretty and look more like an early mock-up of a video game map that shall be accomplished later. Maybe it can occur in the following big one update in a couple of months?
