Thoughts on Sonic Forces

I've never written a review for a non visual novel game before. Today I just felt like writing about something I played in February, Sonic Forces. 

Sonic Forces seems to have a bad reputation online. Even though I saw so many people online speak poorly of it, I still wanted to play it. In the past, negative reviews used to affect my enjoyment of things. I'd even stop liking something if I heard too many people criticise it. But now I seem to not care about them as much, which is good, right?

I traded in my copies of Animal Crossing and got four Switch games with the money. Sonic Forces was the only one I got a physical copy of. It was a used copy, so it was quite cheap. Even if it wasn't used, it's not that expensive anyways. 

I feel like writing about this game today because it doesn't seem to get much positive attention. While it's not perfect, I enjoyed it quite a lot. This isn't really a review, it's just more like a long ramble. There won't be many screenshots, sorry about that. 

Piofiore: Fated Memories - A Review

 I've had Piofiore since it released in October, and only now have I sort of finished it. I've never taken this long to complete a game. It's not because the game is bad, it's just that I was feeling burnt out by visual novels (I think I've already mentioned this thousands of times before, oops), so I just couldn't be bothered to play half the time. 

I actually didn't finish the Finale route (I got a bad ending and was too tired to restart), so technically I haven't finished the game, but I'm going to write this review anyway. 

So... what are my thoughts on Piofiore?

(There are a few spoilers below, so beware!)

I Now Own a Nintendo Switch.

I now own a Nintendo Switch. To be more specific, I own a Switch Lite. A turquoise one, if you're wondering. It came in the post today. Most of the places near me had ran out of them, except for Amazon.

Turquoise was the original colour that I wanted, but then the pink one came out and I decided I wanted that instead. However, the pink one seems to be completely sold out everywhere I look. 

The only game I own so far is Animal Crossing. Yes, I will be playing otome on it in the future. It's funny because I still have my PSP Diabolik Lovers game to come in the post, however it's taking forever and I'm starting to suspect that I've been scammed...

Animal Crossing is quite fun. I never actually played the DS and Wii versions despite owning both consoles and the game being something that appeals to me. It's such a cute game and I'm enjoying it so far.

In the future, I'm obviously going to get some more games. Nintendo games seem super expensive compared to other games, though. The first otome I want to get is Piofiore, then maybe Collar X Malice Unlimited. There's also Cafe Enchante which sounds interesting, but it's not high on my priority list. I want to buy other games that aren't otome, too.

The console itself is quite nice. I keep pressing the wrong buttons as I'm used to my Vita and Xbox One's control scheme. It all feels good in my hands. When the Switch Lite was first announced, I thought it was going to be bigger, but I actually like this size. Everything was so easy to set up, like 90% of the time was just spent creating a Mii.

One thing that I really find cool about the Switch is that is has a scanner thing for those Amiibo figures. I know it's just a thing to get you to spend more money, but I like gimmicky things like that.

This does not mean that my Vita is going to be retired. I still love that thing, I actually played it yesterday. And there's still that PSP game coming that I'm going to play. I'm not really sure if I like the Vita better than the Switch Lite. They're both quite good.  The Vita has more built in features like a camera and browser and all that, but the Switch doesn't. It doesn't need none of that, because that's what smartphones are for, but I like messing around with stuff like that. I do hope that they update it to support wallpapers, because right now my home screen is just black with one game on it. I sort of wished that it had cutesy music and fun programs to mess around with like the Wii and my DSi had, but perhaps people nowadays don't care about that stuff anymore.

So yes, I now own a Switch. I would give you all my Friend Code (it is called that, isn't it?), but I don't plan to play online so it'll just be useless. Expect some Switch otome reviews in the future!















I'm really scared that my Switch will start getting joycon drift.... Let's hope it doesn't happen....
