Mobile Friday - Alchemy Stars - The First Hour

On this Mobile Friday, I'll be playing Alchemy Stars on iPhone 11 Pro. I'll be playing from the first start of the app and for about an hour. This is another game where i didn't really know anything about it going in. Since playing it, I've learned that the game is rather big and has a big following on social media. So if you're interested in it after watching me play, i'd recommend having a look at the community surrounding the game.

Backlog Conquering - Deliver us the Moon - The First Hour

In yesterday's video, i finished Gley Lancer and teased that the next video would also have a space theme. Well the next game in the Backlog Conquering series is Deliver us the Moon on PS4 by Wired Productions.

In this video, i play through the first hour and have a great time. i'm excited to play again for next week's videos as the story is very interesting. watch the video and let me know what you think, too!

Puzzle and Dragons Tuesday - Puzzle and Dragons: Nintendo Switch Edition - Highren Cup - Achievement Run

Welcome to Puzzle and Dragons Tuesday. This week i try to get all the achievements in the Highren Cup. I didn't find this cup as difficult as last weeks, but it took longer than i expected to complete it because of my opponents. There were some truly amazing high scores in this video and even in my best games i'd get stuck 4th or lower. Sit back, watch it all or leave it on in the background as i do my best to get all the achievements. 

Cloud Monday - White Knight Chronicles Part 2

Once again, and i imagine this'll be the case going forward, it wasn't straight forward getting the game to load. Simply put, i was unable to launch the game because of an unexpected error. I then restored licenses. This actually attempted to load the game but timed out. i then restarted my PS4 and then the game worked. This video starts from that point. 

But that wasn't the only issue i had. White Knight Chronicles is a game that had a robust online component, I didn't think it was still online but as it was so heavily marketed on the game page i tried it out. The game gets stuck. The PS3 tries to check for an update, but is unable to find one. However, there's no way out of this menu. it's over top of the game's own checks. the game knows it's offline and would let you progress. it's the PS3 that's stopping. and so it stopped me and i called an end to Part 2.

Overall, streaming the game went fine. over two videos, i only came across 1 thing that could've been because of streaming, and that was a simple grey blob that appeared for a frame or two. the game's slow pace and bright colors mean that it plays well. If you were to ask me if i thought the game was good, i'd honestly say i'm probably still a little too early in to score it. but i think it's worth a go if you have the time free. It took 2 videos to get to the opening cut scene and past day 1.

Nintendo Switch Funday - Harvestella: Prologue Demo

Today's Nintendo Switch Funday video is on Square Enix's Harvestella: Prologue Demo. This demo was revealed in this week's Nintendo Direct. The game, like many demos, allows your progress to carry over to the main game when it comes out. I played over an hour and a half of the demo and was maybe less than halfway through it. But i'll say i doubt i'll dive back in, i wasn't really clicking with the demo. watch and come to your own conclusions tho.

Online Saturday - Splatoon 3 - Turf War - An Hour Of 1.1.1 Update

This Saturday's Online game is Splatoon 3.

Today, game update 1.1.1 was released. This patch does bring some balancing to the game, but it mostly focuses on online connections. In this video, you'll see that there was only one issue with online gameplay and that getting into a game was much faster than normal.
