What are you all playing right now?

[ninetydegrees]

I'm staying away from Steam because I don't have time to get absorbed into anything serious right now and therefore sticking to mobile games. Right now I'm into Tiny Tower and Tiny Tower Vegas because I love the retro art, the humor, and elevators (not kidding). It's very simple and you can play for as little or as long as you want. Doesn't require wi-fi either.

I just started playing Blaster Master Zero on the Switch we fortuitously managed to snag a couple weeks back. I don't want to start Breath of the Wild until I work my way through a bit more of my backlog--and I'm trying to chrono-game the Zelda games in Japanese for more language practice, and I'm only up to Ocarina of Time so far.

I just finished Owlboy, where I loved the art, loved the music, and thought the gameplay was meh. Ten years of work and the art shows it, but it wasn't sure what kind of game it wanted to be.

The Switch is supposed to be a Christmas present my brother and I will offer each other but I don't know if we're gonna able to last that long. Breath of the Wild looks so awesome... What is Blaster Master Zero about?

Oh, I have Owlboy on Steam. The review from Rock, Paper, Shotgun made it clear it wasn't without flaws but I couldn't resist. It looked so amazing. I'm glad to hear art and music were great.

What is Blaster Master Zero about

It's a remake of the old NES game Blaster Master, with most of the Nintendo Hard stuff ameliorated--there are save points instead of limited continues, an actual map, and so on. Also an anime-as-hell story as opposed to everything plot-related found in the manual. So far, I really like it, though I'm not that far in.

RPS is where I first heard about it too, and the reason I bought it!

It's not a bad game, I just wish that the designers had leaned more toward the leisurely flying and exploring side of the game, and less the timing-based boss fights and precision flying corridors.

BMS looks cool. Thanks for telling me about it. I'll go and save more money now. ;)
