I’ve posted a little about this before, but not for a while. I’ve haven’t stopped playing, it’s just… there’s been some repetition. For much of the game there isn’t a great deal of grinding, although perhaps I’ve been lucky and just levelled up the most suitable of my dragons by random chance. Then I reached the end of game boss, and whereas almost every other enemy in the game can be wiped out in just a couple of turns by my main dragon team, the final foe is impossible.
Literally impossible. I can barely even register a hit on any of his five heads, let alone deal much damage to his core (that’s if I even get as far as him exposing it), and so it’s off to the grind trail to find some more suitable dragons (or rather, the jigsaw piece drops necessary to evolve my current dragons into them) then spend many, many hours levelling up. Joy.
Although actually, it isn’t that bad. The puzzle matching mechanic of the game remains fun in a way normal RPG fights wouldn’t after 20 hours of grinding. That’s not a throwaway number, by the way, that’s how long I’ve spent grinding so far, just for the the final boss. I’ve not even assembled the full team yet either, never mind near level 99 with them. There’s a long way to go yet, and I’m 60-odd hours in as it is.
And then there’s the Mario themed version of the game to start!
Over on uk.games.video.misc we have a regular Monday topic. A simple list, with a short exposition, of each game we’ve played over the last week, those we want, stuff we’ve essentially (or literally) binned, and what we’ve bought.
Play
Puzzle & Dragons Z (3DS)
Still. See here.
Lego Jurassic World (PS4)
We completed it a while back, now we’re mopping up all the bricks and minikits. 55%-ish complete.
Various Lynx Games (Lynx)
Mainly Chips Challenge and Xenophobe, as they’re the most fun of what I’ve got. Then Super Skweek. And a little bit of California Games. And Batman Returns which is rubbish and I completed it.
Grim Fandango Remastered (PS4)See here for more. Basically, it’s funny but it’s too obtuse.
Splatoon (Wii U)
I’ve not played it in a while so there have been a lot of additional maps and weapons. I thought I’d be terrible now as everyone would be on level 40+ (I’m on 14 still) but apparently I could still hold my own.
Want
Lego Marvel Avengers (PS4)
When Jurassic World is done, we’ve only Lord of the Rings left and we’ve done all the Lego games. So we’ll need this.
Bin
The Lynx screen. It’s pretty awful.
Viking Child (Lynx). It’s trying to hard to be Wonder Boy in Monster Land and fails in every single way.
Expense
No money spent, but I did get a free copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the 360, as it was on Games With Gold.
