Found that part quite dull. I also really didn't like the woman thing that lives in your sword. All the pretend analysis stuff was a bit weird. Agree the dungeons are excellent. The final ones is amazing I know Fi is a divisive character (people hated her in the Wii era because she would constantly chime up when your Wiimote battery was low ), but I honestly love her. She's second to Midna as my favourite companion. Also love the plot twist regarding her near the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty subtle. More of an Easter egg, I guess. It was only after I played Skyward Sword again that I realised. Have you found the final memory? 15 minutes ago, Keyblade said: Also: Hide contents She's technically in every Zelda game Very true! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pointless. And they were usually incredibly obvious. Like in the last dungeon, your map shows you where the pieces are you need to collect. But she’d pop up and say “I feel a great power in this room. There’s an 87% chance the piece you’re looking for is here” No shit dickhead. It’s on the map! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally didn't mind it, probably because I found her voice and her little pop up dialogue so soothing lol. One thing I think the game could definitely do without is the Dousing. I don't know if they kept that in the Switch version but that was a bit of a drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they kept that in the Switch version but that was a bit of a drag. Yeah they kept that in. It's kind of necessary when you're trying to get all of the goddess cubes and gratitude crystals though (I didn't bother collecting all the crystals in the end but anyway) And yeah the game is VERY linear for a Zelda game. I was never ever stuck, it was always very obvious what I had to do next, which is unusual for a Zelda game. But I think that was an issue the series had had for a while. Each game seemed to get easier and easier in that regard. Obviously that stopped with BotW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'll say is that if a very average gamer like me can not only finish them multiple times, but do a No Death playthrough on DS1 then that shows the difficulty can be overcome. I also know they aren't for everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Once again, the Mario franchise is at its best when it’s not a traditional Mario game. Paper Mario: The Origami King is a fantastic game. The dialogue is genuinely funny as well. For me, anyway, the seven year old doesn’t get all the references Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how some people might find the dialogue a bit too, elaborate, but there’s plenty of fun gameplay and clever puzzles I can tell you.

Yeah it isnt enough i agree but the constant talking was annoying. It just seemed more of a story than a game. If you can vounch for it that it has more game play later then i might give it another go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I know it's technically a Wii U game but I started another Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze playthrough and man it's so good. Hard to choose between this and DKC2. It's between it, Rayman Origins and New Super Mario Bros. Wii for my favourite modern 2D platformers.

If you've played the original DK Returns on Wii, it's like that but just way better (and harder!), and that game was already great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
