Another weekend, another update.
Fancied a bit of
Sonic Mania today, but it crashed every time I tried to change a video setting and I couldn’t be arsed to fix it so that ended before it started. (It meant switching back to monitor and sitting at my desk to do whatever was needed.)
Jumped back into
Shovel Knight, in which I hadn’t finished any characters except the base one but I do have started saves for all. Tried some Plague Knight, but I don’t particularly enjoy him as a character. Fiddly and finicky between all the weapon options and his movement, and just wasn’t having much fun. Stopped that and moved onto Spectre Knight. A lot more fun, especially with his abilities you quickly start to unlock. His gameplay style just clicks with me more, I think. It feels easier, but I’m not sure if it’s because it’s more natural for me to play as him. I’ve also played one
flashback so far. It’s crazy to think how much was added to Shovel Knight from its original release to now. I know I’ve played a bit of the King character, but I remember absolutely nothing about his gameplay now.
After stopping for a break I went back into
Onimusha, which I had stopped sometime in the tail end of last year. I had more time re-learning the combat and testing a couple of routes to find where I had to go than I did fighting the last two bosses, which went down fairly easily. The last boss was quite easy, even with me missing the most powerful sword even though I had the means to unlock the door to it that I ran straight past. I had wanted to play Onimusha for years, as I knew it was tank controls samurai and that appealed to me greatly as a Resident Evil fan (
InfiniteCombo
, have you played this?). I have the PS2 copies of 2 and 3 but haven’t played them, so I’ll emulate them in due course.
What will I play tomorrow? Who knows. Might charge my Gamepad just to give me options, I like going back to consoles sometimes.
