| Super Mario x The Odyssey
This is either the best or worst thing I've ever done. I read two 3000-year-old novels to write a preview of a 2017 videogame. |

| No-one on the Interwebs has this take. Two thumbs up. (I read The Iliad and found it tough going) |

| I was the same, but I actually found the Odyssey quite an enjoyable read. |

| indeed. Gave it just a skim earlier, but it read like good stuff. Also Rosalina > Peach, if the former's mental growth hasn't been stunted by growing up on an observatory of child-like star-things. I know the stories of both, and I think I might have read the entire Iliad back when I was a kid and trying to be pretentious... |

| Some thoughts on 3DS eShop puzzler Bye-Bye BoxBoy!. I'd still recommend the original game over this one, if you haven't played any of them. |

| I've served up some delicious words about Danganronpa 1.2 Reload. Feels good to be writing long-form reviews again!
The review in question! |

| Good stuff! Said as someone who knows the games' plot, but not much about their gameplay. |

| Cheers Balla! It's one of those games that don't really need to be played to get the full experience, but it's still worth a play. |

| Today's lesson: never let Drunka write your preamble for you.
Anyway we reviewed BotW. (I'll let Drunka talk up his other piece himself - it's very silly.) |

| Well, excuuuuse me Princess.
I did mention my other piece in the movie thread. It is exceptionally dumb, but I needed to do something with my 40 hours on Mario Kart and my experience of watching all the F&F films and, well, I couldn't sleep. |

| I really liked Balla take on BotW as I do like a good list and why I may not like the game as much as some. |

| But isn't Balla's review about debunking a lot of the game's common criticisms, rather than agreeing with them? |

| I liked Balla's review. He gave some nonsense arguments more truck than I would have, but that's the beauty of the arrangement. |

| Cheers my man, yours was a fine work of praise too! Out of interest, which arguments did you feel were the most/least nonsensical, if you don't mind saying? |

Mostly the "not a Zelda", "no story" ones, which I've gone into elsewhere. I can at least understand the mechanical ones, even though I think they speak more to the attitude of the complainant than the game. |

| 'Not a Zelda' was one of my counterarguments to the negatives! To me a key element of a (3D) Zelda is that dungeon-item-boss loop, without it this feels more like a open-world adventure with strong (very strong) Zelda leanings. As for the story, as I said in there, I think that's bobbins myself... but I can see why my girlfriend, who plays games for the story (she's into BioWare, Ace Attorney, Borderlands and the like), wouldn't like it. Mind you, I think her taste in games is bobbins too. |

It is a Zelda, though: it just isn't the exact same game they've been releasing since Link to the Past. By your logic, Super Mario 64 isn't a Mario, but Super Mario 3D World is. See, even you aren't positive enough about Zelda to avoid winding me up - The Balls Man wrote:
