Firstly, Iconoclasts.
This could be percieved as blasphemous, but I docked my Switch for the foreseable future. I picked up a handful of Indies that I was not expecting to come to Switch, so I bought them and for once I don't want to double dip before I play them... This comes from me wanting to play Iconoclasts, which recently released on Switch and Timespinner, which I have not seen any teases for a Switch release, unless I missed it.
Anybody who complained about Metroid Fusion being too verbose... should probably stay away from Iconoclasts.
The game is gorgeous.
The Evil Within 2.
I tried to get into the original Evil Within last year... I fell off quickly.
The Evil Within 2 leaves a far better initial impression than its predecessor.
I have spent about 3 hours with the exploring Union so far. I am concerned that I will spend way too much time with the game because I am only in Chapter 3(of 17) so far. I am hoping that my slow going up front allows me to move more quickly later on in the game.
I have been genuinely fearing every encounter. It reminds me of what I remember of the original RE games. You can take just a couple of hits and you are done for, but it doesn't punish you quite as badly as those old games.
I am having a stress-filled blast so far.
I had some other thoughts earlier today that I cannot remember. I expect to finish Iconoclasts first. If I come to post closing thoughts on that game, I may give an update on Evil Within 2.
Iconoclasts does look great. I like a platformer with shooting in it too.
I am enjoying it.
I thought the start of Evil Within 2 in the mansion was awesome, and it looked like a Kubrick film.
Once you start exploring the urban landscape, it reminded me too much of The Last of Us and I got disinterested. A friend rented it for me, so I just put it back in the Red Box after finding the little girl's trail a handful of times.
I appreciate the open area of Chapter 3 so far. It has allowed me to decompress from the pure stress that was the previous chapter. That isn't to say that I have not been sitting at the edge of my seat the entire time I am playing, just that I can pick and choose.
Glad you're enjoying the evil within 2. It's one of my fav horror games.
Chapter 3 and one of the other chapters are the biggest. There are quite a few linear chapters to break things up though.
Iconoclasts is verbose and weird, but that's probably why I like it so damn much.
I am sitting at 5 hours on my save file and am just now finishing up chapter 3. It makes me feel better knowing that I should not have to spend as much time in the subsequent chapters. If it keeps up the tension, I think that it will be on par with Dead Space for me by the end.
I bought Iconoclasts, but I haven't played it yet. It looks good though. I don't mind if it's a little verbose.
