BacklogCritic: "RiME is an enjoyable little game that stands apart from its kind by virtue of its intriguing world design, fascinating (if simplistic) puzzles, and great story. Its limited gameplay mechanics, however, stop it from being truly great, turning the last segments of the game into something of a repetitive slog."
Fanatical just launched a new bundle that supports Safe in Our World. All of the proceeds go to charity to support mental health awareness.

The Nintendo Switch gets bombarded with many, many ports. But most of them actually run pretty well, with only a couple that we would call bad Switch ports.
While I agree with the majority on this list Bloodstained is far from a bad port. Sure it doesn't run as fast as the other more powerful machines and has some sacrifices made to the graphics to keep the game running smooth. But some of the errors that are being mentioned can be patched and addressed. The game is still fun to play, it's not like it's broken or anything.
Ark should have never been released the way it is on the Switch. The game is so so bad.
It's purely down to the incompetence of the Devs. Just go and look at how more demanding games have successfully been ported to Switch and then you have proof that these are just poorly done.

Bit of luck then that the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is kicking into play, with bargains galore hitting the Xbox Store to ensure Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles can be had on cut-price terms. But what games are being slashed in price between the 2nd-8th July 2019?"
Not sure any game disappointed me more this gen. I was excited for years, given the TeamIco pedigree.
Then it releases and it's a choppy, buggy, loose fitting mess. Nothing felt right aside from the art style itself. I couldn't play more than an hour of it before stopping. It felt like the worst of Unity Engine and I'm not even sure of they used Unity.
Really bummed by it.
