Yesterday, I was able to get through the story of Yoku’s Island Express. Nothing particularly hard, it was more sticking with the game to get to its inevitable end. I am now sitting at 21 of 31 achievements and honestly this is where the game gets harder, the road to 100% completion. There are several mechanisms with the in-game map which does help but showing a location on a map doesn’t mean instant success. Furthermore, there isn’t a huge community to really make sense of all the secret doors or what you have to do to get each collectible or complete the remaining quests.
In my first session late yesterday, I did find a plethora of wickerlings and treasure chests but I realized what was left and I would lie if I wasn’t a bit overwhelmed. I’ll try to take slow and not get to the point where it stops being fun.
Now, late last week we did have the launch of the Ultimate Game Sale which is always a nice summer event to get some games that you might have missed or perhaps a deeper discount to save your wallet some grief. Though it does not look like they have learned their lesson on Call of Duty titles at all. I think this is the first time in a while I’ve seen Rocket Knight on sale though so that’s probably worth the $3. Most of these are backwards compatible so it makes this list just a little bit better in hopes of finding something to satisfy your palette. But alas, it looks like I’m going back to Yoku, at least for this week as I get a little that pinball a little bit closer to total completion. Enjoy.
