Take Advantage of the Paladins Crystal Sale Before August 30th!

Video JettLeave a comment

For the past few weeks, I’ve been slumming it out as a free-to-play player in Paladins. That said, I did have plans of eventually buying the Champions Pack to unlock all heroes now and forever in one shot. I know I’m late to the party, but crystals are currently on sale! It’s your chance to buy that Champions Pack, Season Pass, or whatever DLC you had in mind at a discounted price.

With the deal and my Nintendo eShop coins, I was able to get 2,500 crystals for $30 CAD, which would have normally costed me about $45. I’m not too concerned about cosmetics, but getting the Champions Pack gives me access to what I want most: all of the characters! With almost 40 characters in the game, that works out to under $1 each, which is a great value while showing the developer my support for this solid game!

(NOTE: I’m not trying to be shady by advertising Overwatch here. Buying Paladins crystals through Amazon won’t give you the sale price though, so I won’t link that here. Instead, if you happen to also want Overwatch, go for it!)

Valkyria Chronicles 4 Demo Impressions

JettLeave a comment

Mashing together elements of anime characters and story, European watercolour visuals, Advance Wars strategy, and the type of third-person action you’d find in the Gears of War series, the first Valkyria Chronicles was a novel take on the turn-based strategy game. I didn’t play it until years after the fact and it made a strong imprint on my heart, even though it got too tough towards the end and I never finished it. Not having owned a PSP, I wasn’t able to play the next two entries in the main series, but Valkyria Chronicles 4 is just weeks away from arriving on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Having taken the lengthy demo for a spin on the Switch, I’m very excited to rejoin the battle.

Mario Tennis Aces has fallen out of my rotation in a big way and I don’t know if I’m better off just trading it while it still has value. I play it one more time before making the big decision!

Favourite Mario Spin-Offs featuring Double Jump

Jett5 Comments

From plumber, to multi-sport athlete, to doctor, Mario has done much more throughout his illustrious career than save the Mushroom Kingdom from the clutches of Bowser. These side hustles of his are documented in dozens – if not hundreds – of spin-off games. Some of these are best left forgotten, but many of them are great and some are arguably more popular than the mainline series of Super Mario games.

With me to discuss some of our favourite Mario spin-off games are Kris and Rachel from Double Jump!

Overcooked 2 Review

JettLeave a comment

My experience with the first Overcooked can be summarized by two distinct emotions: joy and anger. Having four players frantically attempt to coordinate their efforts in fantastical kitchens is a riot in the moment. Easily one of the most novel gaming experiences one can have with friends. However, structural choices such as overly-difficult score thresholds to unlock levels, a lack of online multiplayer, and a subpar single player experience made for a game whose shelf life petered out for me much sooner than it should have. On top of that, the Switch version had performance issues that wouldn’t be ironed out until long after launch.

Despite my criticisms of that first game, it was still a rousing success, selling over 500,000 copies on Switch alone. Furthermore, I came into Overcooked 2 with faith that at least some of my concerns of the first game would be addressed. Does the sequel fulfill the potential of the first?
