Well, I did find a new game to sink my hours into last week and to be honest it came up rather unexpectedly. For those who are not aware, the Lego Ninjago Movie game is currently free in the Xbox Marketplace until the 21st I believe. As long as you grab it when its free, it’s yours to download and keep. Anyway, I played it over the weekend, went through a couple of story levels, messed around and got about a dozen achievements. Like any Lego game, I’m pretty sure the races are going to frustrate me (the first one took four tries by itself to get the Gold) and there will be the end game where I’m trying to finish everything, but it will fun for about a month or so. Hopefully I complete it like most of the Lego games in my history and not like Lego Indiana Jones or Lego Movie where I abandoned them both (mostly because they were terrible) before I could get anywhere close to 100%.
I also played Slay the Spire, and actually beat it with the DLC character, the Watcher. Except I didn’t get the achievement because I went on to go against the Heart and get beat in basically one hit. If I had not gotten all the keys and ended my game after I beat Donu and Deca, I would have netted the achievement which is frustrating. I was so frustrated, I ended up switching to the Defect immediately after and playing on Ascension 1 (since I had previously won with him) and completing it on the first try (no, I did not get the keys at all, I completely avoided them). So I guess frustration has its rewards.
Anyway, on to the weekly sales. A lot of Sonic and a lot of Rayman so I reckon you will get your platforming goodness. It’s really a shame that Final Exam and RAW never got to backwards compatible status but I guess I can always fire up the old 360 and give them a whirl. So, enjoy your week, things are starting to open back up, and get in some sun. I don’t know about your color, but I am as pasty as ever and being inside even with my video games is still giving me all kinds of fits. Enjoy.
