Quick Hits



Grabbed several digital games this week:

  • The Sexy Brutale (XBO)
  • Shadow Warrior/Shadow Warrior 2 (PS4)
  • Slime-San (Switch)
  • Mighty Gunvolt Burst (Switch)
  • Sonic Mania (Switch)
Played a little 'Sexy Brutale' and I like it so far.  Groundhog Day mixed with CLUE.  Prevent murders, turn back the clock, prevent more murders.  Great art and music so far.

Also, played some 'Shadow Warrior 2' last night and really enjoyed it.  Even my wife was into watching it.  Your character is named Lo Wang and is constantly delivering bad one-liners, to decent comedic effect.  Tight controls, decent graphics, cool weapons... Big dumb fun.  Reminds me a bit of 'Shadow of the Damned' in tone.

'Sonic Mania' feels great.  Feels like how you remember 'good' Sonic feeling, but with some great polish tacked on too.  'Mighty Gunvolt' is a lot of fun so far too.  Mega Man-style gameplay and graphics with a lot of additional challenges and secrets to dig into.  'Slime-San' kinda feels like a mobile game, but with the benefit of physical controls.  It's like a more puzzle-y, easier Super Meat Boy I guess.  Good music too.

Played some 'Sine More EX (XBO)' yesterday too and loved it, but was sleepy and you cannot play a sidescrolling shooter while dozing off.

Just wanted to get SOME thoughts down to keep some momentum writing.  I need to go solder, and have to get x-rays of my guts later today.
