 | Was curious about this for a while, as I kept seeing the Switch version for cheap. I dunno. There's a whole slew of this kinda games that have a bit of imagination, a [[sony_playstation|PSX]] skin, a put-on weirdness, and not much else going on. It's just a nothing game. Get item, use it on thingo, get other item, use it on guy, get item ... ||

+| Surprised how much I've enjoyed all the running round town stuff. ||
+| Coming back to this several months after first playing it sure is hard, I have no idea what I was doing and there are a whole bunch of systems I've forgotten about. I had notes on how I wanted to train people, but that's it. ||

 ^ //Gravity Thrust// ''[demo]'' | |
-| Cave flyer. Short levels with different challenges/objectives. There's a race mode too that's fun, and gives you a goodway to get good at controlling the ship. |

+^ //Penny's Big Breakaway// ''[demo]'' | |
+| So far I like it, but probably not enough to bother buying it. I particularly like the graphics, look both like early 3-D renders and [[Mega Drive]] sprites, really vibrant. Stage design reminds me a bit of the latest //Kirby// game. The combination of moves hasn't really gelled together for me, and though I kinda like the idea of how combat works, how you have to get overwhelmed to take a hit, it's mostly just spinning the joystick around, which always makes me feel a bit anxious, like I'm killing my controller, especially now these things are so expensive. ||

 ^ //Qube Qross// | also on: Mac, Windows|
 | I bought this because I thought it would be like //[[Picross 3D]]//, but it's less a logic puzzle and more about being able to visualise a shape in three dimensions. You can only rotate the object around one axis, which is a bit fiddley. ||

 | Tactics game where you play through various //Gundam// storylines, similar to the //[[super_robot_wars_series|Super Robot Wars]]// games.

 | I don't like this much at all! Initial impressions were okay: game seems to want to take after //[[ico]]// in tone, but quickly just reveals it's purely a fetch-quest driven thing. The world, apart from a few filler/clone buildings is pretty nice, but the way you interact with it is tedious. You do basic, //Assassin's Creed// like building climbing, grab a thing, then look for some other doodad to find.\\ Also the boat is no fun to control, and pivots at the wrong point! ||
