Speaking of a 60fps switch 2 game, I've been playing more Yakuza Kiwami.

As I suspected it does have Shenmue level jank

Not in a bad way but it does feel very Japanese and old school in a number of ways. The invisible walls and fixed camera angles are annoying.

I like open world games and being able to explore a modern Japanese downtown district is highly compelling to me. But you can only enter very few shops. You often ca t walk down alleyways, cant open doors, cant walk up and down stairs they don't want you too.

The stuff you buy in the shops is all random Japanese foods and its not always clear what they do.

The combat is okay but now Im out of prison I lost all my skills and have to upgrade a skill tree and start from the bottom.

Combat is not brilliant, mostly because you can be pointing yourself at a character to attack and Kiryu will attack open air instead without you being able to cancel his animation.

I like the story, but everything boils down to fight, fight and fight again. Can get a bit tedious.

Still a fun game, just feels like it could offer the player more freedom, more detailed exploration and more responsive combat.

This weekend was all about Atari 5200 Galaxian, Pacman and Missile Command.

I also played a fair bit of SMS Sonic 1 and NES Ninja Gaiden 1.

Started the Octopath Traveler 0 demo and looked at the clock and I'm 1 and a half hours in.

Damn, another one I need to buy. Not sure if I like the silent protagonist. Everything else is in line with other games so you can just start playing without reading tutorials.

There's a sale on Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 bundle if anyone's interested. Savage discounts.

Played Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 this weekend. Beat the campaign. It was short, only about 7 hours give or take, but I quite enjoyed it. It’s a campaign that you can play co-op with three other people. I played through with online randoms. Went fairly smoothly all things considered. Played some online multiplayer. So far just played the skirmish mode that has two 20 player teams face each other. It’s definitely chaotic but I really enjoy big team battles.
