I just got done burning myself out playing all the Metroid games in order. I’m gonna jump back in where I left off, but I got bored at Prime 2. I’ve never finished that one and I’ve never played 3, but all the side scrollers are perfect games if you ask me. I loved the original Prime too. That dark world, light world shit in 2 frustrates me, but I’m sure I’ll love it when I look back on it.
I’m a Metroid fanatic. I’ve played Super Metroid over and over again since I was 11. I still have my original copy. AM2R is also one of my favorite games of all time.
I’ve also beat Cuphead twice and got all achievements and S ranked every boss. I prefer it on my OLED Switch for the pretty screen (where I’ve done this 3 times), but the load times on the Deck outweigh the value of the pretty screen I guess. I might hit it again on the Switch though. That game is absolutely the greatest game of all time for someone with ADHD. Might just be me, but damn I love it.
I’m in the same place on Fallout 4 that I ended up on the Xbox. I have to betray one group or another to beat it. I can’t make myself do it. I was so sure I could.
What I’ve really been hung on is Red Dead Redemption 2. I never dreamed I would love this game as much as I do. It is absolutely one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. I am so attached to Arthur Morgan it’s unreal. I never played the first one and it breaks my heart that it wasn’t released on PC. I’m gonna find a way to play it on the deck if I have to emulate the Switch version (I’ll buy it on Switch if I have to, even if it’s the inferior version. I don’t have time for gaming that isn’t portable).
The only game I’ve ever played that had my heart like RDR2 is The Last of Us, which, despite the complaints, I fully intend to play again on the Deck eventually.
Like, holy shit! What a game! RDR2 might end up being my favorite game ever made. If you haven’t played it because riding horses and shooting revolvers doesn’t appeal to you, it didn’t appeal to me either. This game literally has me pining to be a part of that time and thinking about watching every western I can get my hands on. I literally never want to leave that world. I couldn’t stand the thought of it before I played it. I cannot praise it enough. If you haven’t played it, get it. Like, right now.
Metroid games are great, one of the first things I did when I first got my deck was set up Prime Trilogy. Prime 1 is the best of the trilogy, but when I replayed two recently I enjoyed it more than I remembered the first time. Some of the boss fights are truly amazing, a big step up from Prime 1. Prime 3 is more immediately enjoyable than 2, but the world feels a lot smaller and less interconnected.
I haven’t played much of the 2D Metroids on the Deck yet, but plan to play Samus Returns and AM2R since they’re the only two mainline games I haven’t played. Also feel strangely tempted to set up Prime Pinball.
