Lost RuinsNot to be confused with Lone Ruin, which is a wild and crazy twin stick roguelike that has great music and aesthetics and brutal difficulty.
Well this is a dark metroidvania staring anime girls. When you first start the game the message even tells you this is going to be a survival experience where every decision matters. So I'm thinking OK, this will also be a Soul-like experience as well, since we all know these indie's love to make everything either a Souls or Rouge-like these days. Well for the 30 minutes, it was kind of like that with my character having limited items to heal, and slower combat that you had to be more careful with.
But then you find equipment you can equip that autofills your HP after taking any damage, which completely destroys whatever survival experience that developers where trying to do. Seriously, it only takes about an hour until you realize just how broken some of the abilities you can equipment can make your character, and the rest of the game is just a joke difficulty wise. Every non-boss enemy I was able to one-shot by the half way point of the game, and even the bosses go down pretty fast once you realize their patterns.
At least it was a short game, takes less than 5 hours to beat. After you beat it it had a new mode that lets you play as different characters, that once again, they also become easy to cheese the game after about an hour as well. At the end of the day it was an overall OK experience, especially since I bought it on sale, but the game completely fails at being this challenging survival experience it literally advertises itself as when they make it super easy to cheese the whole thing
What is this a 2011 thread and the Wii U is about to drop?I was going to say, this reminds me of the doom and gloom I felt during/at the end of the Wii U’s lifespan, which was when this sort of perspective felt warranted.
In case folks don't get the Nintendo newsletter, here is their official list of Switch games for Shocktober.I do wish Tecmo Koei would do me a solid and discount those Fatal Frame games. But, I’m not buying new games this year as a rule so that’s a non-issue.

Also thank you a lot for making me feeling even more lonely in loving XBC2 by telling me that there are other people who hate it around here. Like if I hadn't heard enough hate for it already... no offence.I am trying to be sympathetic towards you, and while I’ve had my fair share of piteous outbursts on social media sites, this comment irritates me a bit. If you love Xenoblade 2 and are aware of the reasons people dislike it, you’ve likely asked yourself whether or not they were an issue to you, personally, and concluded that it doesn’t matter. Xenoblade 2 received a sequel, and Monolith Soft will undoubtedly make more games. Fan response to Xenoblade 2 doesn’t make it as a game any better or worse. Khush letting you know of other perspectives that he’s heard (including my own, which, for what it’s worth, is based on 400 hours play. It’s definitely the least of the Xenoblade titles) isn’t a personal attack on your beliefs, character, or your enjoyment of the game.
