So you know how life loves to throw challenges your way?
Not much gaming this week. And not ‘Hey wow I tried 7 games I forgot about’ not much.
Lots of things happening at the Den of Delightful Diversions. I will update everyone to that on Wednesday, alongside this weeks Yeti hunt. But until then, the gaming I did get in is awaiting some attention!
Oooh I have been waiting to play this one, and thanks to an Alpal purchase I finally got the chance!
Villainous is hard to explain quickly, but it is a heap of fun. It’s like a really, really streamlined Magic the Gathering/Netrunner style card game. You have your hand, your opponents have theirs, and you largely play your own game.
You can play cards against other players, but you play special cards from that character, so the Genie doesn’t mess with Captain Hook for example.
Hoping to do a formal review on this early next year, but for the holidays if you get the chance play Villainous for yourself – you will be glad you did. Also, having Hades and Scar in two different expansions is just mean :p
Pokemon Shield (Switch)
Yep, I am still chipping away at the latest Pokemon outing.
I have now collected four gym badges, but I am thinking that I will give the challenge a rest for a little while. Instead, I am going to focus on Poke Jobs and filling out my Pokedex for a little while.
New jobs have opened up that give you more than XP (but that as well!). Now I think I might just have to think about building up a couple of tailored teams, rather than just power leveling various Pokemon as I usually do.
Terminator: Resistance (PS4)
I only got to play a little bit this week, but I think the final push will be a pretty long one. Which is unfortunate, because I think if I don’t finish Terminator: Resistance this week I don’t think I will anytime soon.
Not becuase it’s a bad game, I am really enjoying it. At the moment I know I am about to be really busy again, and that will cut into my time. It’s like when you have to stop watching a series for a couple of weeks – you will pick it back up immediately, or it will be a long time later.
Oh, and I really wish network security was just playing Frogger. It would make my life so much easier 😀
