Video games? Do people still play those?
We're leading off with another Cloud-based Switch game, as "Do it on the Internet, I guess" is the secre tot really getting the most out of the Switch as a unit; Plague Tale: Innocence. From context clues, which are hard to come by since the eShop ain't forthcoming and the screenshots are not indictive of anything except how nice the graphics are, this here is an emotions-em-up game about a gal, and her l'il brudder trying to make their way through Europe during Bubonic Plague times. It's critically acclaimed, so you just KNOW that means it's going to make you cry and that means its art!
Now for a video game I feel I can speak much more definitively on, before we even get halfway through reading the title; there's Ys IX: Monstrum Nox! It's a new Ys game! That's all I needed to know to be on board! Without so much as looking at the description or any screenshots; it's about a taciturn swordsman named Adol what finds himself in a new fantasy kingdom, where he takes it upon himself to personally re-write some bibles by smashing the ever-cussin' mustard out of the local deities, and probably befriending a Goddess or two.
...
And now I look at the game and yeah, that's basically right.
Enjoy some nice scenery, lots of extremely good music and all the monster choppin' you can handle!
Next up is The Silver Case: 2425, which is a Suda51 game and... man... that's all the description you can get out of me there. Even if I knew a blessed thing about the game (I do not), "It's a Suda51 game" should be enough to tell you right away if it's something you're into or not. If you know, you know. It's a weird KINDA adventure game, but not... a conventional one.
There's a guy in it named "Jabroni" according to the screenshots; that ain't nothing.
And finally, we've got Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. Which is definitely the thing I'm most excited for this week; the original game was an excellent mish-mash of Pokemon and How to Train Your Dragon (baffling to me that it's the only example of that combination I can think of) set in the Monster Hunter world. MOREOVER, it's also the only MH game I genuinely enjoyed. And now it's gotten a real fancy glow-up (not that the original game didn't also look great) and it's looking a lot more robust.
Befriend a dinosaur; and use it to smack around other BAD dinosaurs; then turn them into pants. Probably fulfil and/or prevent some manner of dire prophecy too. Seems like the kind of game with one of those.
