It was excellent and immersive. The Riddler and Cluemaster puzzles were a grind. I\u2019m glad the game is over. That said, it has gotten me back into the world of comics, and now I\u2019m reading several Batman stories.<\/p>\n<p>I also finished <strong>Mina the Hollower<\/strong>. After some reflection, I consider it better than Shovel Knight which is no easy task. It\u2019s easily one of the most charming Zelda-likes I\u2019ve ever played. The amount of secrets to uncover, from hidden bosses, new locations, additional weapons, trinkets and more, each frame features something unique if you pay attention.<\/p>\n<p>The comparison to Bloodborne is hard to understand. If it\u2019s referring to difficulty, then maybe there is an argument for that. However, if we are going to compare it to a FromSoft game then I think Elden Ring is the appropriate choice. There are several subtle nods and (secrets?) moments in Mina that are reminiscent of various secrets in ER.<\/p>\n<p>And now, according to the developers, many people are missing out on approximately 50% of the game. I have an item that tracks your collectibles per location, but I\u2019m really intrigued if there is even more to unearth if you experiment.<\/p>\n<p>I now have <strong>007 First Light<\/strong> on the docket, but I\u2019m not entirely in the mood to play it at the moment. In the same vein, however, I downloaded <strong>Hitman: Blood Money<\/strong> on the Nintendo Switch 2. It\u2019s one of the rare games in the franchise that I haven\u2019t played. I\u2019m not very far, but what I\u2019ve played has been fun, albeit archaic in its mechanics. Nonetheless, that\u2019s sort of to be expected. And with the announcement of the original trilogy being remastered, I\u2019m even more enthralled to be immersed in this world of Agent 47.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got 100% in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
