I was going to buy this for the Switch on a number of occasions, but never got round to it. And then it appeared on PS+. My Vita came out of retirement, and after twice as long updating it as it took to play the game, I’d completed it. And then completed it again. And again. And again. You see, this story about four bearded sailor brothers is somewhat short, but that’s only part of the point. At various points …
Much has changed. Much has stayed the same. But it’s the changes that prompted a replay of the game that sold me a PS4 over a year before it even came out. Sadly, it was not a happy reunion, and there were more than a few problems… Bugs are to be expected in games these days more than ever before, but bugs that break the game, then are supposedly patched out, yet still exist, should not exist.

Instead, I forced myself …

Because somehow I totally forgot to write a post! I don’t know how that happened and I am convinced I did actually write one, but it seems not. But yes, I played and completed The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, the free single-episode game that links into …
