No More Heroes III
I quite enjoyed the first two 'No More Heroes' on the Wii, and despite not playing either since near their respective releases, I still picked both up on Switch. I was looking forward to the third game especially after all the praise, but the technical shortcomings had me wait for a release on more powerful hardware. I used some Gamestop gift cards to get NMHIII at launch, but hadn't gotten around to it until now. After beating it, I have one question for all the reviews that praised this game: did you play a different game than I did?
Let's start with those technical details. The game runs well, a locked 60fps from what I can tell, and looks super sharp. That's not hard given the simple geometry, small world, and origins on Switch, but it's still nice to see. That said, whenever a scene or even camera position changes, the textures still take a second to form. It's distracting and confusing on hardware like the Series X. Character design is diverse for enemies, but in the open world there are literally two character models; a male and a female. That's it. For all the style this game oozes, it's incredibly bland at the same time.
Speaking of the open world, that's a generous description. There are five sections of the world connecting through loading screen via a tunnel you don't traverse, but aside from those few NPCs and couple of cars that wonder around, it's completely empty. Santa Destroy and Perfect World are at least pleasant to be in, but the others, especially the battle torn areas, are a chore. There are dead ends and invisible walls everywhere. Sometimes Travis can't even walk up a curb without jumping. The only thing to do in any of these areas is the occasional odd job for money (which are simple and boring) and the battle nodes that come in two flavors: waves of enemies and designated battles necessary to progress. When activating a node, you're transported to one of the few separate arena spots to fight. Nothing takes place in the world itself. Everything goes to a separate spot, even the odd jobs. On the overworld map, there are giant swatches of red that can't be access, but those never open up either. It's just inaccessible land to taunt you. I know the first game did this to a degree, but it was the Wii. It was understandable given the hardware and time of release. This isn't an excuse even for the Switch that has many bustling open world games. They should've either committed fully to the open world, or stuck to level progression like the second game. But this in between compromise just makes the game feel disjointed and incomplete.
Moving on to the story, admittedly never the most important thing in a NMH game, a little alien crash lands on earth and is saved by a boy who hides him from the authorities and nurses him back to health. The little alien leaves having formed a bond with the boy, and comes back as an adult to take over earth with the now grown man. It's an interesting setup, told through animated still (one of the many competing styles on display in this game), but goes nowhere beyond simple world domination. In stark contrast to something like 'Fire Emblem: Engage,' the voice work carries the whole story. Good thing too, because the ending twist is no surprise and the ending as a whole is pretty whatever. The voice actors do a very good job, but most characters only pop up in the very beginning and very end, which sucks for anyone hoping for more interaction.
Ok, so the world, story and characters are mostly a bust. How's the gameplay? It's good. Well, fine. It can be good. Travis can increase his stats in the lab below his apartment in the motel (something they don't tell you and took me half the game before I ventured down there), and there's a simple combo system in that it tracks your continuous hits, but not many actual combo moves. The gameplay definitely loses something without the motion of the Wiimote (or Switch Joycons, but those aren't as fun as the Wiimote and nunchuk). Your death glove, which still resembles the red and blue Joycon, has special cooldown abilities. After every major fight you get material to craft new chips to permanently augment your play. Most are a give and take with a gain and loss, but some are useful. This game suffers the same issues 'Bayonetta' does in that there can be so much on screen at once, like the slots graphic that literally takes up two-thirds of your viewable area, that it can be hard to see enemy attacks coming in order to dodge. It's not as big a problem as 'Bayonetta,' because there's never more than 5 enemies in an arena at a time and there's stuff like boxes to move behind, but with the camera closer to Travis it can be just as detrimental. Also, the same enemy attacks can deal different amounts of damage it seems. Sometimes the same attack will just knock me back, taking a small amount of health, and other times the same exact attack from the same enemy can one-shot me. Also, it takes waaaaay too long to get back to your feet if knocked down. And there's no invincibility frames, so you can get beat to death with no chance of getting up. Each enemy has their own types of attacks, but each only has a couple. Nothing really evolves during the course of the game, and that goes for the bosses too. The devs try, sometimes to great effect, sometimes to eyerolls, to mix things up with bosses, but standard boss battles are pretty simple. The only thing tricky might be the short amount of time any given boss is open to attacks.
So the world, story, characters and gameplay is mostly a bust. The odd jobs are boring and the few collectibles don't reward anything outside of currency for fights, food (of which I only used the one to refill health in battle) and for upgrades. There's a lot of t-shirts to collect through certain in-game achievements by way of friendly aliens, but you can only see what those are by going to a said specific alien for him to tell you only when it's possible to achieve them. There's no additional jackets (outside of no jacket) and unlike prior games, there's no change to your beam katana. I'm sure this game was working on a smaller budget, but it doesn't feel like that budget was used in a smart way.
I had to struggle to finish this game (a pattern I've seen with recent Japanese developed releases I've played outside of 'Ishin!'), not because it wasn't necessarily good, again, it's fine, mostly, but because I found myself really bored. You do the designated battles, maybe an odd job to get enough currency, then a boss, repeat the whole game in the same few spots. I'm massively disappointed in 'No More Heroes III' to the point where I regret buying it. I don't know how a game that screams such style and artistic variety can be so boring at the same time. I don't know how a game that garnered 8s, 9s and almost perfect scores across the Switch and current-gen consoles can be so utterly...okay-ish. For anyone interested in this game, I'd only recommend it for die-hard NMH and Suda fans. And even then, I'd suggest renting or waiting for an even bigger sale (it's currently selling at retail for about half its launch price). The physical bonuses that come with the physical game are cool, but the game, in my opinion, is not.

I loved the 1rst one because of the boss fights. Never played the 2nd one and probably never will. Will likely buy the 3rd for PS5 when it drops to $20 or something. I hate that its open world though. Id rather kill some aliens in a corridor and fight a boss at the end.

Little Hope

I got this with my PS Extra upgrade and decided to give it a whirl since I enjoyed Man of Medan. I thought this was better than Man of Medan in the biggest way which was that Silent Hill 2 like feel with walking on fog dense filled streets. I also enjoyed the Salem witch trial esque plot going on here but did think the ending I got with that one big twist was kinda silly to an extent and the voice acting felt really stiff at times minus Will Poelter that is. And whenever you actually had to control and move players that too felt rigid as it did in Man of Medan. And that was fast button still feels just as useless as it did in Man of Medan as well.

It seemed odd since the opposing force wasn't related to the true cause of death. I would assume they would have done an analysis to find the true cause of death. Especially given the final moments of the game and the inclusion of an Asian guy made me question if they were being inclusive or if something else was occurring.

Try the second one if you get a chance it is on PC.

I preferred the twist in Man of Medan much more myself too than Little Hope. Little Hope’s twist was just strange.

@kevolones I agree with @ued222 about trying the second game then. The open world in the third game wouldn't be so bad if the fights, jobs and whatnot happened in the world, but they don't. Nothing really at all happens in the open world except collecting scorpions and comics. Everything else transports you to a self-contained area, including the jobs.

7/10
A bit on the longer side than the original for my tastes between 30-40ish hours and yea those constant enemy respawns within almost every battle get quite tedious and frustrating. But overall it was still a solid sequel I thought adding onto what made the original game such fun and simple strategy turn based combat. The story was cookie cutter defeat the dark energy yadda yadda to save the Star bits blah blah but we all know what we came here for. That sweet turn based combat with elemental twists. And there’s just something that satisfies a primal need watching you dash into enemies and making them go flying into a combo maneuver passive counter attack. 👌🏻 But alas I did enjoy this one as a whole. Not sure if I’d play a 3rd installment or not, especially if it’s as long as this entry and has those damn enemy respawns. I got my fill for a while.

Sometimes the simple games in life are the best. Kirby’s Dream Land is a prime example. Having finished the game in just over 90 minutes, it left me feeling satisfied like it knew what it was about. 4 levels. A boss rush finale. It gets you in and out in no time flat and still holds up well minus the green screen of the Game Boy that it still retained on the Switch emulator. The controls were still pretty precise and music was as catchy as playing the console counterpart.

The Quarry
8/10
I heard this one was kinda dull in comparison to the Dark Pictures series but while it was indeed a slow burn for the first several chapters I thought the pace picked up nice in the second and third acts. Also the graphics were incredible. I now know where all the budget for this game came from to make those slime balls at 2K have the balls to charge $70 at launch for this 8 hour movie for the most part. Thank goodness for this being included with PS Extra. But alas I did rather enjoy it in the end. I’m a sucker for the mythos creature portrayed here and thought the acting was much better than the stiffness in the last Dark Pictures game I played Little Hope. I got the ending where all the counselors survived too. Complaints of course come in the form of all these Supermassive games in where you controlling anyone feels janky and awkward and the damn walk fast button is as useless as a screen door on a submarine. Overall if you liked Until Dawn you’ll enjoy this one from the same devs.

Man this was way more fun than the first game. More power ups from enemy assimilations and you get your pet pals to ride throughout most of the levels. They really encompassed the best parts of the SNES Kirby games into a neat little Game Boy package. The first Dream Land felt like a demo only having about 4 levels but the sequel here had 7 levels and about 25-30 stages in total. Not too shabby for a GB game.

I should continue this game. The little I played was pretty interesting and I liked the characters. I did notice some weird facial animations though. And I do not like that the characters proportions look weird to me. Everyone looks like they have a big head and small body.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope The Tower of Doom has been beaten. It is 3-4 hours long and can be challenging. I am hoping the later DLCs are superior. The story is forgettable and doesn't add enough to the gameplay and character wise to make it worth it. If you liked the challenge rooms in the game that got you more skill points you might enjoy it a bit. Overall I say wait or don't buy.

Hi-Fi Rush
9/10
Man I loved this game and it came out of nowhere. It was like Devil May Cry with rhythm based contextually timed button presses. You hack and slash with a robotic guitar thru 12 levels while gathering health and energy upgrades and collecting parts to unlock new crazy combos and special modes. You also get support summons from members of your crew which prove highly useful throughout the game and there’s even some minor platforming puzzle like elements in which you incorporate your crew to assist with. The music was kick ass, the acting and humorous writing was great, the anime style graphics were superb and minor platforming issues aside, this was one of the best action games I have played in a while. Highly recommend.

Maybe I should try that game out, I hear nothing but good things despite the fact that I generally have no interest in rhythm-based games.

It’s more hack and slash action with QTE’s really vs rhythm IMO. Just think of it as an anime Devil May Cry. The only thing is make sure your TV is calibrated for the QTE’s cause those are the only real rhythm parts. There’s an option in the game’s settings to tweak calibration too.

Both games from the same people and for the PS4... beat in less than a week.
The Council and Call of Cthulhu.
They both have replayability but I find myself more to wanting to replay the Cthulhu game than the Council.
