![]() On the gameplay side of things, this is an adventure game where you can fail. The protagonist initially comes off a little too ordinary, but circumstances force him through a ringer that really takes him on a journey. The plot really pulled me in, and it kept me engaged all throughout the game. By the time you finish the first case, both the story hooks and the unusual ways it goes against the typical adventure game grain are apparent. Apart from its immediately striking atmosphere, it starts off normal enough. From publisher Application Systems Heidelberg and developer Grundislav Games comes this cool detective game. SwitchArcade Score: 4/5 Lamplight City ($14.99)Īdd another excellent point-and-click style adventure game to the Switch’s pile. ![]() This will be a must-play RPG and likely the ultimate version of a game that deserves more appreciation, but right now it’s just a good one. That’s particularly the case with the somewhat buggy nature of this launch version. But it’s a far better game all around with that mod applied, and as we know that it is coming it’s hard to emphatically recommend playing this game until then. It’s a fine enough game even without the Restored Content mod. Is Knights of the Old Republic II worth playing in the default state it’s in at launch? Well, yes. I suppose I’ll have to split the difference in my evaluation. But that’s yet another card stacked against playing this game right now rather than later. Aspyr has had a consistent issue with this in its Switch ports, and to its credit it usually follows through on fixing things. There are also quite a few bugs here, and they’re not all old ones. Moreover, your saves in this base version can’t be transferred to a Restored Content playthrough. The Restored Content update is coming to the game at a later date via DLC, but it isn’t here now. ![]() That speaks to the odd state of this Switch port of the game at launch. It was later modded to fix up a lot of those issues, and with that Restored Content mod applied it’s a far better experience. The only thing holding it back is the rather troublesome fact that its development was rushed to get it to market, resulting in a lot of bugs and a fairly obvious cut-short ending. ![]() But as far as I’m concerned, it’s a more enjoyable RPG with more satisfying mechanics and a better written story. While it was once a near-heretical opinion, I think the common consensus is now at least willing to entertain the notion that Knights of the Old Republic II is better than the first game. Let’s get going! Reviews & Mini-Views Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords ($15.00) We’ve also got a decent list of new sales to check out. There are a few new releases to look at, but two of them are extremely dubious. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords from Aspyr Media and Lamplight City from Application Systems Heidelberg get their time in the chair of judgment, and both of them come out relatively unscathed. In today’s article, we’ve got reviews for a couple of recent releases. Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for June 13th, 2022. ![]()
