The former? Never played it originally, which probably doesn't help. Just feels like wading through treacle, clunky, terrible graphics. Not a fan. Granted it was beans but still.

I had a similar experience with Layers of Fear collection.

Developers were so preoccupied with whether they could bring games to the Switch, they didn't stop to think if they should.

If anyone had Amnesia on their wishlist, scrub that off as well. Terrible. Terrible port or terrible game? (cos it's a great game) Literally just finished dark descent and working through machine of pigs. Having a great time with it personally and runs really well on my switch lite. Some clipping on the DLC but the main game all good.

Yeah, that made it worse! I just seem to be meandering around trying to pick up those fucking tinderboxes and throwing furniture everywhere! Maybe I'll come back to it and try undocked.

Lair of the Clockwork God is £3-ish on the eShop at the moment. Haven't played it but is meant to be very good so grabbed it.

Headphones on handheld and I shit myself. Impressive especially with how old it is. You do have to buy into it and forgive some of the dated mechanics. Hands down the most atmospheric horror game I think I've played.

I think the constant worrying about tinder boxes and oil took away from the game/atmosphere for me. Having to always be mindful of resources (basically a numbers game) made it too gamey. I enjoyed A Machine for Pigs though

I bought red faction remastered for £1.79. Bargain. Looks like it's a decent port.

Is this the OG Red Faction? I'd be well up for that if so.

I assume we're all aware of switchup.gg? Get 10% off e-cards using code SWITCHUP on checkout. Pretty tasty considering they do £75 cards. switchup.gg/en/

Never realised there were quality/performance mode settings on that game! Nice one.

Seems Mario Kart 9 is in active development, but apparently there's a twist, as always. What are you guys wanting in a new installment?

Ah good game, but a bit disappointed it's not the first ever one. I was in the mode for an old school FPS.
