SwitchArcade Roundup: Mars 2120 Game Reviews, Latest Releases & Sales

Hello, dear readers, and welcome to the August 6, 2024 SwitchArcade Round-Up. Today’s article is all about great things. Some news for the news lovers, a review for the review lovers, some latest releases for the… latest release lovers, and naturally, some sales for the sale lovers. I hear there’s a number of them on the market. And those latest releases are some spicy meatballs. I like all of them, which is rare today. Let’s get to the goodies!
News
Check out Zelda’s little horse in the newest video, “Echoes of Wisdom”
I do not have much so as to add to this headline. Look, there are a number of cool things on this latest upcoming movie, but for me it’s all about that little horse. I really like him. Give me an Amiibo of this, please.
Reviews and mini-observations
Mars 2120 ($19.99)
This game… is clunky. Very, very clunky. The animations look choppy, the collision detection is not entirely accurate, the enemy AI is everywhere, the signage is actually poor, and it doesn’t really have much to supply in a genre that is rife with excellent titles on Switch. You must wonder if there is a place for a game inspired by grit on a platform where sixty bucks and a Nintendo Switch Online subscription get you six shots of the true deal? Well, I’ll leave that query as much as you, dear reader.
I’ll just say it has its moments. The atmosphere is sweet. I like the combination of melee and ranged combat you should use, despite the fact that the sport never does much to transcend the boss fights. It’s cinematic at times. I actually like a number of the environments. And I’ll say I’ve played worse Metroidvania-style games. The game works, even when it looks like it’s falling apart at times. Heck, for those who can stop yourself from remembering it exists, you may even have a little bit fun with it.
is unquestionably ambitious in some ways, but I wish that ambition prolonged to its design as well. Despite the trouble put into the production values, the sport itself never quite shakes the Dollar Store feel. A little bit more polishing of its foundations and possibly one or two interesting plot twists could have made it something special, but because it is, I feel it completely fails to prove itself against a lot of its strong competitors within the Metroidvania genre.
SwitchArcade Rating: 3/5

Volgarr the Viking II ($19.99)
I’ll be honest: I didn’t think this game would ever get a sequel, and I’m overjoyed that it finally has. It’s an uncompromisingly difficult motion platformer, but not one which cannot be learned with practice. There’s a precision and satisfaction to it that few games within the genre can match today, and I’m comfortable to report that this sequel offers one other helping of that great things. I’ll have a review of the sport up early next week, so stay tuned.
Natsu-Mon: twentieth Century Summer Child ($39.99)
Kaz Ayabe, the creator of this game from just a few years ago, is back. And this time it’s… one other game about being a child and having fun with a peaceful summer vacation within the Japanese countryside. Look, he’s good at it and there aren’t many individuals doing this type of thing, so I say let him cook. In this game, you are the kid of a traveling circus manager. You’ve come to a small town and you have got to benefit from the summer while the adults work. There’s quite a bit to do and see. I’ll be writing a review of this game soon, but I feel a lot of you already know if that is for you or not.
Legend of the Dark Witch Episode 2 ($9.99)
Wow, I didn’t think this is able to ever occur. The first game hit Switch years ago, however the second and third have remained MIA. For those unfamiliar with the series, it is a frivolously inspired side-scrolling motion game with an upgrade system. In some ways, it feels very independent and… I mean, it’s independent. But that is a great thing for fans searching for something to munch on.
Turnover
Well… I do not know, it isn’t a very exciting list overall, but there are some good things on there. For 4 dollars? That’s sweet. 505 Games is ending their latest outbox sale, so for those who want something from them, now’s the time to act. Check out these lists!

Kotaku’s Weekend Guide: Four beautiful games to which we will gladly come back

Play at: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows computers (YMMV steam deck)
Current goal: Can end the story? (If I’m ready to say goodbye?)
Another weekend, the following few days I will play.
She was particularly unexpected from all pleasures and surprises: it makes me sociable! When I am going out into the world and talk to people about games, he remains to be approaching. It seems that from my little attempt, and in order that this game is a satisfying nostalgia for us 30-sum, which grew up playing a ton from the age of the 90s and other jRPGs.
In our last couple With entries I said concerning the weekend guide that although I could enjoy other features, I used to be not yet completely sold in the sport history. Well, people have modified. She has a implausible plot and a premise, but her characters really moved me. It is a crew of complex 30-year-old (well, a 32-year-old and, more precisely the 16-year-old), wondering how they need to react to the crisis. Yes, it’s quite related now.
Like in a very good classic classic, these characters clearly need to undergo the unexplained journey in which they’re positioned. In this story, it also provides me with some metaphors recessed in the top, consisting in others and living in fear of power that circulates over you.
Such things, that is why I’m a life lover And (he also has these elements, but I didn’t spend enough time with it). So should you are searching for something to play and also you ignored my recommendations for the last two weeks, perhaps the third time is a charm!
Seriously. This is probably the most nice experiences in which I played the sport at the least within the last 10 years. – Claire Jackson

Guide for beginners after Maelle at Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Usually in RPG, whenever you think “absolute ass beating swordwielder” in a video game, you imagine how Cecil with Auron Z, and even someone like Hulkenberg. What you normally don’t think is a tiny orphan that wins Mia Goth Soundalice Competition.
Read more: Has a compilation, so you’ll be able to make over 3 billion damage with it, but not for long
But don’t twist it when Rapier comes out, every thing that shouldn’t be a part of the trip Exceed their life expectancy. Maelle is a dissatisfied Five tool player and we are going to show you how you can start starting shit when it’s in your party.
Basic set

Maelle’s weapon is a fence rap; And you best consider that he knows how you can use it. Actually, whether it’s best to, because just about all its additional movements are essentially fence strategies hidden for changes in statistics. With just a number of exceptions to the late game and a number of unboundly fire skills The overwhelming majority of its ability to acquire skills involves causing severe physical injuries or using devilish shit for enemies to cause serious physical injuries. Even if she doesn’t cause damage, she has the power to make another person to success.
“Oh, ho ho”, you’ll be able to say, “but all these 1-3 hits and skills of fire. He still has his job, dealing with shields.” Au fucking contraire, monks, She has a skill called Breaking Rules, which shouldn’t be even terribly removed from her skills in her tree, which accurately annul the shields, irrespective of what number of enemy struck. Do that one Nevron with floating balls, and shooting them puts six shields on everyone on the pitch? Lights work. The game should literally provide you with a prompt that asks: “Do you really want to make the greatest mistake of your stupid life” if you happen to ever attempt to remove Maelle out of your party?
Special mechanic: attitude

But of course there is a real reason why you are here, i.e. invent how to effectively use the posture system. The key word is “effective” because it is extremely easy to catch there in offensive mode, wondering why Maelle just started tightening the leaf hitting the face in a rigid wind.
To be honest, the game explains its mechanics too quickly, so let’s get the bass again. Each maelle ability introduces it to one of four attitudes, each with its own benefits/disadvantages:
- Printableness: Where you start in every battle. No effects.
- Defensive attitude: Take less damage; Get 1 additional AP on each successful Dodge or Parry.
- Offensive attitude: Ask 50% more damage, but also use 50% more damage.
- Virtuous attitude: Ask 200% of damage.
Now, while the Maelle skill set can absolutely kill the field of enemies, you still have to think about it in the fence. Excessive extension can stab you, and at the same time being a turtle in a continuous defense does not do the trick. Meanwhile, The game actually encourages you to move further, giving you an additional AP every time. So thinking about what to put it in to provide you with the slightest sensitivity, and at the same time was as effective as it must be, is his trick, but there is great flexibility.
Of course, the dream is to get in virtuoso mode, in which Maelle becomes death, the destroyer of the worlds. But even then you get only two turns to cause the most damage from it, and your team may have different needs, as in the case of one of her skills that Shell provides, or if we say, they are all dead and you must use Phoenix Flame to make them all.
Recommended compilations/synergy
For most of the game, the only spontaneous damage to which Maelle will have access is all based on fire. You get void injuries. You wonder how it is played alone. And even then the fire is enough, especially The easiest way to introduce Maelle into the virtuoso mode is most of the time to burn the enemy and hit him quickly. Yes, it means that take it off the skillboard as soon as possible; It will be a refuge for most of the first half of the game.

So, of course, the maelle dish or her companions of the ability to fire to support her and take advantage of the constant burns will be a necessity. But even if you decide differently, Maelle has a lot of his own. He will start with Spark, who will complete the task, just know that you will have to quit a return to throw it, and will cost another to take a quick step. Fuck it, let someone else go on, at least until you receive a much more destructive skill of fire rain for her. Both are effective, although it is worth noting Spark will place Maelle in defense mode, the rain of fire ends with her in the offensive. Get ready for everything that will be next.
However, when it is virtuated, you must use the best you can, and at the beginning of the critical Burn Picto/Lumina (Critical Hit Chance increases by 25% on burning enemies) is a fairly easy place to start. It would be nice if one of your companions maybe Hit the sign Or defenseless to the victim, but the irony is that if the enemy is already burning, the first hit will remove the status. Watch out on the order of the game on the left side of the battle screen so that you can do it just in time, and Maelle will go as soon as the enemy has been touched.
Percee and Fleuret Fury are usually a death sentence for enemies, and because it will probably be the last thing that many smaller enemies see, Maelle can get a lot of use from dead energy energy (3 AP after killing the enemy). But if these two skills do not throw nevron out of misery, the Fury Fleureus will at least repeat virtuoso. The main problem is that the Fury Fleuret is expensive. Maintenance of Maelle with AP is crucial, but especially for A character like Lune Who is less useful in a fight, in which the elements are not so effective, it is worth having someone whom the main work is to maintain maelle juice if its Picos did not start to start.
However, after using it, the new task is to make sure that Maelle will be able to build a full AP belt again. And at the beginning it is not as easy as it seems. Picto, like an energizing pain (1 AP after damage), but this is an accurate defensive mode of the situation in which you can defend yourself well, making sure that it can hit and probably survive longer than her friends.
The leader of these rules, and our little swordsman will be an absolute threat to everything that threatens the expedition.
Clair Obsurn: Expedition 33 is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC.

Waiting at Battlefield 6 will no longer be with full disclosure this summer


We are actually almost 4 years from restless launch Making it the longest gap between latest entries within the history of a multiplayer franchise. But Electronic Arts guarantees that fans will not need to wonder what will occur next for the longer term much longer. It was published by March 2026, the publisher confirmed on Tuesday.
“Looking to the future, we are sure of our ability to perform a deep pipeline – leading this summer with a very expected disclosure, a key step in providing our next generation Blockbuster Entertainment,” said CEO Andrew Wilson today in a press release. In addition to the upcoming business card, he confirmed that the sport would be available this financial yr, a window that has grow to be way more open because it was pushed back to May 2026.
Wilson earlier suggested that Juggernaut Rockstar Games was a think about the account from the starting window. “We think that the game will be great and ready at this time, but if we approached this time frame and believed that it will not be a great window for us, we are looking at how it could be an alternative window that would give us the right time, energy and player’s acquisition, so that all that must be necessary.
Is it possible that now we see that the game arrives earlier than expected and goes to the head with the next autumn? And will we see the next stick to the current point of 70 USD or jump on Microsoft’s fashion and aim $ 80 with some other editions this holiday season? These will be some of the questions that EA faces when he tries to restore her former glory after a series of errors in recent entries.
So far the noise is positive. Players’ tests and ongoing leaks in the next are longtime fans, excited that the franchise can find its position again, and also return to their roots. It would be nice to have a back in a mixture for many players, even if the live service market is becoming more competitive than ever.
