Bayonetta (Wii U)

There are a lot of cut scenes in this, aren’t there? I’m almost certain more time is spent watching the game than playing it, and it isn’t all just so you get gratuitous bum shots without all that silly fighting. I say silly fighting, but it’s obviously very good fighting – there just hasn’t yet been enough of it. Maybe it isn’t the game I was expecting?

That isn’t really a complaint, I should stress, and I’m enjoying it a lot. It is completely nuts and typical Platinum nonsense. Today I had to outrun a lava flow, kill a two headed dragon in a church, and carry a giant egg timer out of heaven and into the middle of a volcano. As you do. Then I handed in some golden LPs and exchanged them for some guns, which is just like real life.

Oh yes, and I visited Balamory then watched it burn.

This week brought new PS+ shinies. Some of which I actually played for once. That’s right: literally once.
Play
PS+ first then:
Lemmings Touch (Vita)
No. Just no. So disappointing.
Nom Nom Galaxy (PS4)
Quite fun, I thought. It sits somewhere between Terraria and a tower defence game, and although I’ve only played the tutorial, I can see it being something I’ll play some more.
Nova-111 (PS4)
A lot of people seemed down on this. It’s a simple maze game with turn-based direct fighting, if that makes sense. I’ve put over an hour into it and I’m not really getting why people don’t like it.
I also played a little of previous PS+ game:
SSX (PS3)
It’s no Amped 3, but it’s not a bad game. I finished the first mountain and played a handful of events in Siberia, but I’m not sure I’ll play it much further. If I didn’t have loads of better games to get on with, then maybe I’d stick with it some more.
And the non-PS+ stuff:
Lego Jurassic World (PS4)
See here for this week’s progress. Getting close to 100% now!
Bayonetta (Wii U)
Platinum nonsense, in the best possible way. None of it makes sense but I’m loving it anyway.
Puzzle & Dragons Z (3DS)
Grind grind grind grind grind.
Want
Lego Marvel Avengers (PS4)
Still, of course.
No Man’s Sky (PS4)
It’s soon, right? Right?
Firewatch (PS4)
I didn’t realise it was a budget priced game. That just makes me want it more!
Bin
Lemmings Touch (Vita)
Obviously.
Expense
I bunged £5 in Humble’s direction for the Focus Home Interactive 2 bundle, which came with a load of games I’ll never play and Pix the Cat, which I already own. Erm.
Actually, Cities XL and Yesterday will probably get played. (They won’t).
