What we've been playing - "My Switch 2 sits watching me from my desk like the Green Goblin mask"
Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little about the games we've been playing. This week, we all melt into puddles by our computers, but Dom also devotes themself to the new Fire Emblem; Connor gets enthusiastic about new fighting game on the block, Marvel Tōkon; Chris can't stop thinking about the Star Wars XCOM-like game he played; and Bertie organises a…
This week, I've been completely absorbed in playing Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, a new game on my Switch 2. The game is so captivating that it feels like it's watching me from my desk, much like the menacing Green Goblin mask. Even when I close my eyes, the images of anime chess pieces and the sounds of level up dings and critical hit crashes persist in my mind. Despite the game not having officially released yet, it's already a significant presence in my life.
I've also been enjoying Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. After initially gravitating towards Ghost Rider, I've since switched to playing as Star Lord. The auto combos have made it easy to get the hang of the characters, and the lack of technical issues on the PS5 has allowed for a seamless gaming experience. I might experiment with other characters in the future, as each one feels easy to master.
Additionally, I've been eagerly anticipating Zero Company, a turn-based tactics game. Despite my initial reservations about its sales prospects in the turn-based tactics genre, I'm confident that it deserves to be a success. One standout feature of Zero Company is Jae, a recruitable operative with a unique passive ability. She automatically executes enemies when they're at very low health, providing bonus damage and a satisfying finish. This feature is so engaging that I'm excited to play the game again to experience it more.
