Don’t use the hump word or it’s an instaban! Just kidding, I’m no mod, I’m just some guy, you know.
What games have you been playing this last week? Video games or other. Have you gone back to Tears of the Kingdom yet? Are you spending the rainy school holidays stuck inside playing Pokemon cards with your kids? Found something in the Steam summer sale you want to shout about? Let us know here.
Pikmin, finished it on the weekend. It’s been a long while since I played the first one so many good memories came flooding back. I did rush the last level/battle so there were many casualties that day!
Shenmue 3, finally started my playthrough after putting it off for years now and so far so good. There are a few things that I don’t like already (stamina & food system…) but it’s good to be back in the world.
Minecraft Story Mode, playing this one with the kids and my youngest is loving it.
Pikmin! When I worked in a games studio in the early 2000s a couple of people played this religiously on the big screen. I wanted to, but could never get into it. Made me feel a bit sick, which thinking about it I now realise was probably the rear projection setup. Maybe I need to give it another go on the Switch.
And Shenmue! I am only about halfway though Shenmue 1. Played it on the Dreamcast. I feel I must try and get back into it. I think I have 1, 2 and 3 all playable on the Series X.
I’m playing the Switch version (which is the Wii update) so plays very well. Pikmin is one of those games that until you play it nobody can quite visualise it. It’s amazing but trying to tell somebody “I grow little flower creature people using an onion and then they follow me around and start fights…”
