I've seen it on occasions, there is no rhyme nor reason to it. So not a sign on a bad game by any stretch if you are worried about that. Of course it could be a typo in the email they sent me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smac Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Indeed; it would be great to validate my Murder by Numbers pre-order by knowing somebody in the know really bloody liked it or not. Given that @moosegrinder will probably start playing it four days late, as well. He has no idea what the date is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdn2 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I'm hoping to have Voxelgram finished before Murder by Numbers. I'm 80/170 puzzles down, but they're getting tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerokus Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Rune Factory 4 consumed me for ages back on the 3ds. Great game, I liked it much better than Stardew Valley which is the closest comparison in that genre. The dungeoneering aspect is so much more involving that stardew, kind of like a Japanese Diablo-lite in some respects. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grounded_dreams Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Has anyone played Akane? I see its on sale again. Reviews, when it came out, seemed to suggest it has potential but a tad underdeveloped with some frame rate issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it's £4 on Steam and everyone absolutely adores it...currently sits at 97% 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews. Just that it's a little slight.

bradigor Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 So, I have been playing MX Nitro: Unleashed. It came out of nowhere and it really should be shit. It was stealth released and looks like a Trials knockoff. But it is a bit good and less than £9 too. http://bit.ly/39lPk7c 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partious Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Any recommendations for lesser known pick up and play eshop games that aren't old arcade games running on emulators? I see stuff like Habroxia, Full Blast, Aqua Kitty, Blue Rider etc going for buttons regularly but it's hard to know if they're worth it since they don't get many reviews and the ones they do get often seem to be people who aren't really into shooting/action games in general. Also interested in any non-metroidvania platformers. I'm considering Venture Kid since it looks like a decent mega man clone. Oniken maybe too, but that's a bit pricier.. Also like the look of The Bug Butcher, which seems to be a Pang type game. I know these games are a couple of pounds each but I don't want to stock up on a bunch of garbage either. What are the dirt cheap eshop gems (if there are any, maybe they're dirt cheap for a reason...). I want things that you can turn on and immediately enjoy for a few minutes, with replayability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun at first but expects you to invest too much time on each play to progress through the unlockables. Spent a few hours with it so well worth a quid . OK thanks, think I'll give it a go while I patiently wait for Murder by Numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graceful Explosion Machine? Great little game. The devs new game is a run-and-gun platformer called Super Crush KO which looks terrific. I’m just waiting for a sale before I get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgraves Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Has anyone played Element on Switch? Any good? I've been watching hoping it would go on sale for ages, but it doesn't look like it's going to...so wondering if I just need to bite the bullet at full price....which is only a tenner still but.....

grounded_dreams Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 This upcoming (3rd April) Twin-Stick Shooter HyperParasite looks decent: It will be £13.99, but there is a pre-order and further discount for anyone which has any other QubicGames purchases. I can't find the game via the website eShop to see if the discounts are showing. Maybe its viewable via the consoles eShop, but I'm not near mine atm to check.
