Having a good time with #HyruleWarriorsAgeofImprisonment
After 15 years, I finally got to finish #SuperMarioGalaxy2 after nearly completing it back on the Wii days. It's the best 3D platformer I've ever played. It might not be my favourite of the Galaxy games but certainly js the better game, amazing level design, art style and music. 10/10!

Only 4 people started work on Metroid Prime: Trilogy while most of Retro Studios was busy elsewhere — a tiny team quietly rebuilt all 3 games with smoother framerate, higher-res textures, and faster loading.

Time to play a bit if #ClairObscur on the big screen with surround sound for the first time. This is running on NVidia Geforce Now on the #SteamDeck which is hooked to my TV. Will be interesting to see how it runs!

Before Retro Studios began working on Metroid Prime Trilogy, they had four separate teams working on a football game, a car combat game, an RPG, and a platformer. Nintendo visited...told them to scrap everything and focus entirely on Metroid instead.

Fun fact: Retro planned for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes to have four-player online multiplayer but Nintendo cut it to local split-screen because GameCube’s had limited network adapter/capabilities e.g. only LAN.

Having played nearly 400 hours on Tears of the Kingdom and it being my favourite game of all time....this feels like coming back to an old friend. A great start to the prequel... #HyruleWarriors #AgeofImprisonment #NintendoSwitch2

Fun Fact: Samus’s visor opening and closing in Metroid Prime was created by layering camera lens clicks and metallic door hisses 🤣

Fun fact: Early in development of Prime 1, the game was third-person but Miyamoto pushed for first-person to make the game more immersive.

Big believer in #Nvidia #geforcenow . Past couple nights I have been playing #ClairObscur and it runs great with minimal lag. Super impressed. Most of all, I'm playing a couple hours each night to really take my time into this world.

Fun fact: When Retro Studios were making Metroid Prime, the game ran on the Turok: Dinosaur Hunter engine from the N64 era.

I really tried to like #SilentHillF, but I realised I was forcing it. After 5 hours, I just wasn’t enjoying the combat or puzzles. The graphics are great and the story’s intriguing, but I’ve learnt not to push through games you don’t enjoy; it only leads to burnout.
Sorry, Silent Hill F is a 5/10.😔
