After a short hiatus while I finished off a few 3DS games, my daughter and I got back on Lego Dimensions and ran through the Portal 2 level.
It was good! Full of Cave Johnson, some nice Portal 2 puzzles (including the blue bouncy gel and the orange accelerating gel), and of course, it was pretty funny too. I’m not sure the game considered just how easy it was to skip massive sections with a flying vehicle, such as the Cloud Cuckoo Car, as two large areas we missed almost entirely, but that doesn’t really matter.
The hub world is decent too, with plenty of referenced – you have to grow the potato, for example. And the shed from the end of the first Portal game is there too, as is Chell’s “room”, complete with toilet. Toilets are important.
We’ve just the one level pack remaining now – Mission Impossible.
Oh! And before I go, you’ll be wanting an updated List, right?
Sonic the Hedgehog > Adventure Time > Midway Arcade > Portal 2 > Doctor Who > The Simpsons > Ghostbusters > Back to the Future.
There you go!
I got my Steam Link working properly! With a wireless controller and everything! That means it’s almost a new console! Woo!
Play
Lego Dimensions (PS4)
Specifically, the Portal 2 expansion level for it, and the associated hub world that goes with it. It’s pretty good, although very easy to skip large bits of it. Funny though. And I completed it.
Roundabout (PC)
It’s Kuru Kuru Kururin, that Game Boy Advance game with a spinning stick in it, only with a rotating limousine driving round a city instead. And FMW video sections at the start and end of each “mission”. And it’s set in 1977. It’s very odd, and the acting is mostly terrible, but somehow it’s also excellent.
Pokémon Sun (3DS)
I completed this just after posting about it last week! I was really that close to the end. The final “boss”, such that it is, almost beat me, but I managed to narrowly defeat them. Since then, I’ve not really played it very much, although I really should.
SteamWorld Heist (3DS)
What I did play some more of, is this. Finished a couple of optional missions, and redid a handful of missions I’d not got all the stars on previously. Still have a few to go from early on in the game, but not many.
Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair (PS4)
I completed this in the week too. It is fantastic. Terrible production values, as expected, and completely over the top, but EDF is always like this. The final level was nuts.
Grow Up (PS4)
This is excellent. It’s basically just the first game, Grow Home, only with a bit less going up into the sky and a bit more horizontality. Yes, that’s a word now. Not sure how far into it I am, as I’m mainly just enjoying climbing and exploring and sometimes stumbling across things to collect, unlock, or play with.
Bioshock Infinite (PC)
The main thing I’m playing via Steam Link right now. It looks incredible – especially since I bumped the graphics up to “ultra”, who knew my iMac could manage that? – but isn’t especially interesting besides that. Yet, anyway. Dishonoured is a better Bioshock Infinite than Bioshock Infinite is so far.
Want
A NINTENDO SWITCH ARE YOU DEAF? Having second thoughts about Zelda though – it’s a 3D Zelda. I don’t like them.
Bin
Nothing! Doing well at this positivity lark.
Expense
Also nothing! Well, £3.50 on an Xbox 360 controller wireless adaptor thing. Does that count? Probably.
£3.50 then.
