Finished Lies of P: Overture. It's very similar to the main game, so if you're already full from that, I don't think there's any pressing need to get the expansion. Each of the new weapons is interesting and powerful. The expansion specially added more ranged weapons. Primarily, medium-range but a bit of long-range too. One of the new legion arms is over powered. It's a shotgun that can trigger the staggered state. Like having an infinite supply of those heavy steel ball items. It does good damage in an AoE too.
Enjoyed most of the boss fights. The narrative didn't land for me, but that's okay. Mr. P's Wild Ride is a vibe more than a story to me.
Basically, it's as high quality as the original.
I do not like they left out several major bosses from the DLC in the Boss Rematch mode. There's no good reason they were excluded.
I'm finished, but I'm not finished. I'm launching the game here and there to fight one boss at a time in the Rematch mode. They give you 5 difficulty options. Admittedly, 3 of them are totally irrelevant.
Fast Fusion is getting some of my time as well. It's a simple arcade sci-fi racing game. There's jumping for taking shortcuts, dodging enemy tackles, trying to jump on to a rival racer for great reward, or to collect turbo-granting tokens in risky aerial placements. There's also a color-switching mechanic where boost pads will only work if you're the same color. You can also swerve or slide perpendicular for tighter turns or adjustments, but Switch controllers don't have analogue, so its digital trigger makes it awkward.
I've unlocked the middle tier speed. Which is much faster. Knocks over 45 seconds off of a time trial, for example. I'm afraid of how fast the final speed tier will be and how blurry it's going to make the screen.
There's local multi, but no online (there's 2 player Game Share, so I guess that counts as online?). There's also time trials and a single-life survival race mode. A jukebox.
The major flaw is the image stability. It uses image reconstruction, but the game is so fast that artifacts are rampant. The ground will swim with them at times--it looks like a giant sand worm is about to emerge in front of you. Track memorization definitely required for higher speeds. But I suppose that'd be typical of racing games if you want to improve.
), since I played 3D and got burned of the series (and It might as well happen again).
