Thread friends, I see there's a WWE puzzle quest game. Heard it's pretty subpar, but I'll check it out and report back.
I've been playing since the JP launch, but I'm probably going to drop it if the Pegasus points don't carry over from the last time he was here. I think it's really well-made, but if I can't play as my guy, it loses something to me.

And before that they were saying summer of 2016.
They've been taking their time with this one. That's great that they'll hopefully be making it as polished as possible, but it's been hard waiting so long for it.
With luck, since they announced Kingdom Rush 4 recently, maybe I won't have to wait long between both of them.
It's horrendous.
And not in the way recent WWE is horrendous.
But the other way, that doesn't wash off.

Finally got to use the nimbus in store in Singapore. Very nice. Can't wait for mine to reach me next month. Played Transistor for a good 20 mins on it in store.
Splitter Critters is very good. Unique and very well done! I recommend it
Google Play just rolled out an interesting update for reviews. Games can now be rated in three categories: controls, gameplay and graphics.
Kind of shallow to have graphics as one of the ratings but staying ahead of Apple again in terms of reviews (like Apple now playing catchup with developer responses).

Yeah, it's not stupendous. If it was my first match three or something, and I was *really* into the WWE license, I could see it making a bigger impression. Instead, I played until the first story leg ended and then I've seen enough. Having like 9 different currencies to collect guys/level up/level up moves/etc is just more than I want to take on, and I don't want to play as Cena, Rock, Roman, or Rollins. A product that is basically not for me.

A Normal Lost Phone is supposed to be really good

Same here, never heard of the board game but would love to hear impressions. I feel if they took the time to make an app, its must be halfway decent. A lot of good board games translated really well to IOS.

Definitely an impressive improvement
Since their tweets say it has nothing to do with development of the game, I have to wonder if maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is exclusive to Shield devices on Android. Maybe there was an issue with the agreement they have with Nvidia?
A Normal Lost Phone impressions:
I just "beat" the game it took about 1-2 hours to complete. Overall I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10. The game has you going through a lost phone and through reading emails, texts, a dating app, and an internet webpage, you try to be piece together what is going on in the life of they person who owns the phone. The game is basically all reading and it is written well and is interesting. There are a couple light puzzles which have you trying to determine passwords for various things you need to access, based on other info found on the phone. The narrative focuses on an 18 year old and deals with the
. While an interesting story, it pretty much focused on only these themes and felt like it ended way too soon. I was engrossed while it lasted but it could have used some more explanations and resolution towards the end. I guess what I'm saying is I wish there was more to it - story, interactivity etc. Still though i don't regret buying it - this just won't be for everyone.

Red's Kingdom really is something, but I wish it had map that showed you which path you didn't take. Hard to keep track of all these forks in the road.

Any suggestions for the February title?
I can't get Cayne to work other than in Windowed mode, and then I can only get to the menu, and then it just turns black huhu.

For some reason it works on my shitty old MacBook.
It's fantastic.
Can't freaking wait for Stasis that I played 1 hour before realizing it would be GLORIOUS on iPad at night with headphones.
I pestered the dev since then

We'll probably get it the same time Darkest Dungeon gets ported

Eh
Well actually the iOS build is ready since some months already (or so I'm told).
But the devs are very small (2 brothers actually) and can't sustain Cayne, the kickstarter and a game on iOS....so Stasis on iOS has to wait (the port is made by another dev, but support is from the Brotherhood Brothers).
I'm pretty confident we will see it sooner than later...I bet Spring or early Summer.
Now they are focused on their next game kickstarter, Beautiful Desolation.

Expected FF8 mobile but didn't get it. Square when?
That game is fantastic. Unique mechanics and only possible on a touch interface.

That's 2 for 2 for Rac7. Dark Echo and Splitter Critters couldn't be father apart in tone and gameplay, and they pulled off both excellently

Apple likely ending 32 bit support in a future update (iOS 11?)
http://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/31/32-bit-apps-wont-work-on-future-ios-versions/
some very old games and apps will fail to run.

I like Splitter Critters but struggle with the controls a bit. When I saw 3D Touch support I was hoping that would help. Unfortunately still have the problem where I keep creating more cuts than I intend to.
I'll probably get used to it but playing it short bursts probably doesn't help.

I'd say that's all but guaranteed to happen.
I always forget about force touch, literally never use it.
What do you guys use it for?
Damn, Animal Crossing has been delayed till the next Fiscal Year. Which means we'll see it at the earliest this April or at the latest March 2018. Guess this one will be saved for the Holiday season.
