[Thoughts] Pokemon Presents 27/2/24

A short and concise show, with a couple cool things

source: www.youtube.com/@pokemon

This Pokémon presents was quite short, being around 12 minutes, with not much stuff shown. However, it didn't overstay it's welcome, unlike some previous ones, and there was also a big announcement at the end of it.

As for what was shown in the presentation, here is the full list:

- Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raids

- Pokémon Go x Pokemon Horizons

- Pokemon Sleep Update

- Pokémon Masters update

- Pokémon Café remix update

- Pokemon Unite Update

- Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket

- Pokémon Legends Z-A

As usual these directs are populated with loads of updates for ongoing games. Though, the two new things we got were cool. The mobile app for TCG seems like it could be a good modern way to play the TCG. People love opening packs of Pokémon cards up so it will be no different for a mobile game that lets you do the same. You do get two free card packs everyday as they said so that will be a nice thing to do daily. As for the new legends game, we all expected it to be Unova. I am actually very happy with what it is, x and y had so much potential and I feel like this game will finally realise it. People have hoped for a Pokémon Z and this is kind of that. Legends gameplay is the most fun from the series in my opinion so I am sure I will like it a lot, though I do hope they address some of the issues such as level design in this new one. It will be coming out in 2025 which is a good sign that this might actually have some polish to it as well.

The only other things I hoped to see in this direct really was a new mystery dungeon game or a new Pokémon stadium style game. It's been 9 years now since we got a completely original mystery dungeon game, which is a bit sad. I might just let go of a new Pokémon stadium game happening because I just don't think it's what Pokémon want to do. Besides, they do have many projects nowadays.

Overall, I would say the show was decent, if I were to rate it I would give it a 7/10. I am glad the presentation wasn't as long as the previous and this one got straight to the point really. With another new game announcement or 2 this could have been a very good presentation. Still fine with what we got though especially the new legends game.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[Review] God of War (2018)

A near godly experience made slightly mortal by one glaring issue source: www.playstation.com ~ Intro ~ God of War (2018) is a 3rd person action game made by Santa Monica Studio. The game is currently available on both PS4 and PC. This title is sort of a reboot of the series with it taking a different direction from the traditional hack and slash formula of the original God of War games. I haven't played any of the other God of War games so this has been my introduction into the series. I have wanted try this series for a while, as I have seen good things about it. So, starting with this reboot felt like a great entry point. With that said though, let's get into my thoughts. ~ Positives ~ let's go over the positives first. To start with, the story of the game is good. This game's story is all about fulfilling a last wish, though there are many road blocks the main characters must face along the way. As I was playing I found myself intrigued to find out what would happe

Another game for switch online is coming soon source: twitter.com/NintendoUK Over on Twitter, Nintendo have just announced that Mario Party 3 is coming to switch online. This game is a N64 game so it will be available on the N64 app. This does mean you will need the Switch Online Expansion Pack to play it. The update with this game will drop on the 27th of October. Mario Party 3 is a great addition to the line up. The fact that it will have online co-op is a big change. Essentially though, Mario Party is about moving your character around a board with dice rolls, with the aim of collecting Stars. The player with the most stars at the end wins, it really is that simple. The most fun aspects to Mario Party games though are the mini games. Mario Party 3 offers a total of 71 mini games for players to enjoy. Something to note about this game as well, is that, it was the first Mario Party game to feature a story mode. Make sure you give this a try too it's a good way to practice th
