My impression of Ni no kuni II on Switch

Author : Shoshin

I borrowed from my library the game Ni no kuni II on Nintendo Switch. I had bought in special a few years ago the first title and had liked

I can say right away that for me this is a great game that has reinvented itself, it is a great buy on Switch or other platforms.

First of all the story is excellent, then the number of people that can be played is significant for the genre, the fights are a bit in the style of hack and slash, but not only.

Being the new king of a kingdom after a plot to kill you you also have a part of recruiting citizens and building the capital of the kingdom that also pleases.

To finish you also take part in army vs. army battles in a real time strategy style which is simple but fun.

I have absolutely nothing to say against this game, it is fascinating and will give you hours of gaming pleasure.

My impression of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

I tried Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: Black Order on the Switch

It's a classic Musou-style game, essentially a Hack 'n Slash with a Marvel twist.

I enjoyed it, especially the chance to play as Spider-Man or Deadpool, and the humor is a consistent highlight throughout.

While I personally wouldn’t have bought it, borrowing it from the library allowed me to explore an engaging story and gameplay. However, it does get a bit repetitive.

If you’re not a fan of games where you repeatedly face off against hordes of mindless enemies, you might want to skip this one. But if you’re into hack and slash games, it’s definitely worth picking up on the Switch.

Ti-mine saved during a crisis of my father-in-law

Ti-Mine was my husband's father's cat.

She came into our lives after my father-in-law had his first severe seizure related to frontotemporal dementia, of course at the time we didn't know what his diagnosis was.

My father-in-law is a violent man, with a military background, having been beaten by his father himself in the past, so when the disease started to hit, he lost all control of himself and Ti-Mine, our cat now, started to take a liking to him and one night he called us in the middle of the night to tell us that if we didn't come and get her he was going to kill her because she was sticking to him too much.

He was staying away from our house so we went down in the middle of the night to get her, my father-in-law had completely devastated the apartment, they had almost thrown everything in the trash and the cat was hidden, my husband had to take care of the cat and send his father to the hospital at that time, because our health care system is one of the worst in the world in terms of mental health and dementia care, he was released the next day with the promise of medication, you will understand that after that he got even worse, but that is another story.

Since then, between 2008 and 2009, we have had the good fortune and joy of living peacefully with this wonderful cat, Ti-Mines. She has now passed away at an advanced age, but she will always remain in our hearts, our sweet little Ti-Mine.

I took some time before updating this status to 2023 because it was painful to talk about.

Urbek City Builder on switch

I played 30-40 hours of the game and completed two scenarios, the temperate zone and the desert zone, before giving my opinion on this good little game that is not too expensive, paying $18 on Nintendo's special and even $22, normal price, taking into account the interest of the game this still a good price

It's a bit like Sim City without the money. Your resources, a bit like in Anno, will determine what you can build as a city in time.

Without selling the story of this game, there is a lot to manage in this game, agriculture, citizens' skills, entertainment sector, religion, etc.

The graphics are certainly simplistic but the content will make you forgive this flaw.

I highly recommend it to those who like city management.

Blokus: A Fast and Fun Strategy Game

Blokus is a delightful and fast-paced board game that I stumbled upon during the holidays, courtesy of my husband Shosin.

He first encountered it during a challenging phase in his life a few years ago, when he was surrounded by others facing similar disorders. They turned to Blokus as a means of diverting their minds from the difficulties they were experiencing.

The game itself is simple and accommodates 2 to 4 players. Its pieces resemble Tetris blocks.

For detailed rules, I recommend checking out the Wikipedia section on Blokus, but rest assured, they are straightforward. In my experience, a game typically lasts between 15 minutes to a maximum of 1 hour. The primary objective is to strategically place as many pieces as possible while thwarting your opponents from doing the same.

We purchased the game for $30 from a specialized store, and there are various versions available, including an advanced UNO-style variant that we haven't yet explored.

I highly recommend Blokus; it offers both entertainment and a welcomed escape during times like ours.
