I've been playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag through the Rebel Collection. It looks really good for a Switch port. Yes it's a 7th gen game but honestly I never thought we would have a system like the Switch where we could play games like this and the Witcher 3 on the go. It's mind blowing and I have been having a lot of fun with it. I'm at 35 hours which is a lot for me, especially these days when I'm constantly jumping from game to game. Aside from some issues with the climbing mechanics the game is solid. It's very fun being a pirate and partaking in navel battles. While the navel combat is simplistic, it's still fun when you keep upgrading your ships and the battles can be intense and thrilling when you are dealing with multiple high level ships during a storm where you have to worry about tidal waves and waterspouts. Some people say the other parts of the game are weak but I disagree. There is multiple ways of sneaking around and assassinating people by jumping off a cliff and impaling them, hiding in a bush and using a whistle to lure enemies, and hiding in closets. The combat is fun and while a bit monotonous it can feel good when you take out a group of enemies by yourself.
Others games I've been playing are Saints Row 3, Clubhouse Games, Dynasty Warriors Gundam, and Mega Man Legacy Collection. Saints Row 3 is super crazy and I love it. I played the 4th game a while ago and I had a blast with it, so I'm glad this game is pretty much more of the same. I mean for pete's sake, you have a gun that shoots bait and attracts an underground shark. Yes you read that right, a shark comes out of the ground and eats people.
Clubhouse Games is so much fun and it's great discovering new favorites. My favorite games are 4 in a row, Checkers, Ludo, Air Hockey, Toy Boxing, War, Pig's Tail, Blackjack, and others I'm not thinking of at the moment. The game has personality to it and you can tell this was made with love and care.
Dynasty Warriors Gundam is a blast. I honestly don't know much about Gundam and the main reason why I picked this game up was because I played it as a kid and I've been curious about it for a long time now. The gameplay is really satisfying, the music is great, and I can still understand the characters, their motives, and I can get an idea of their history from just the dialogue and their interaction with other characters. Overall a solid game.
As for Mega Man Legacy Collection, I don't have much to say other than I enjoy it and I can totally get what makes these games so special. They are hard but satisfying and it definitely makes me think.
