So many games have tiny text in portable mode. Paladins, rocket league and fortnite are games that spring to mind. Steamworld game maps are too small too.

I found Sonic Heroes too hard to play in handheld mode because everything was so small - was okay docked.

I played Steamworld Dig 2 through on handheld though and it didnt give me any problems that i remember tho.

Golf Story is probably the game that nails the font type and size perfectly. I never knew that speech bubbles could look so good!

Good tip thanks, glad it gives the option to play vanilla first.

If anyone is in to well made skill based fighters, Pocket Rumble seems to have impressed the fighting game guys on giantbombs podcast.

I'm really not a fan as the game removes a lot of the skill usually found in fighting games. I don't like games where they pander to casual players by minimising the skill gap between good and bad players.

Seeing the treasure, which shows up as a single green pixel, was a pain.

Ahh ok thanks for the info, not sure what they were on about then

I'm not a fighting game guy tbh but their discussion caught my attention briefly

I'll probably take a punt when it's on offer then. Thanks for the feedback

Is there a set day if the week when the eshop rotates deals in and out?

I think it's like the Mario kart of fighting games. Everyone has a chance of winning regardless of the skill gap.

It sounds like a great introduction for new fighting game players but it's not designed for fans of the genre.

With the few games I've played of it, I found the aiming too fiddly on the joycon sticks so if this functions like splatoon and we can fine tune a shot, that's great

Paladins has really weird aiming. That game would benefit massively from motion controls.

Let's hope it get put in. Would you say you are happy with the game based on buying the early version?

Octopath reviews are rolling out.

Gamespot 8
Videogamer 8
God is a Geek 8.5
Nintendolife 9 (always take their reviews with a grain of salt)

Sounds about right, hope you all enjoy it! Will have to jump on shortly down the line

Phate · 12 Jul 2018 at 14:11

Yeah the embargo got lifted and generally the reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

Fingers crossed for delivery!

In all honesty I would prefer to unlock the champions as I go. I have no use for gold so the daily quests etc are pointless.

The game itself is very fun though, and tweaking your heroes to your play style adds a lot to the game. The latest patch fixed all the bugs I had.

I'd say 8's are good but not overwhelmingly positive.

I guess they may add more heroes in the future and you will need to acquire those perhaps!

I think an 8-9 these days is about the most any JRPG seems to get, it sounds like a great game with certain aspects not quite being explored to their fullest potential

All future heroes are free.

That's good then. Can you at least spend your earnings on cosmetics/skins?
