Finished The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom!

Loved the game. There are some performance issues, but nothing major. And that's pretty much the only issue with the game.

It's not a very long game, but not a very short one either. Don't know exactly how long it took me (It has only been 8 days, would need to wait 2 more days for hours to show up in profile), but I think it was somewhere around 20 to 30. And while I have explored every area and done pretty much all the side-quests I have come across, I saw total accessories online and I don't even have over half of them, so there's apparently many things I am missing.

Loved the gameplay, felt like a TotK lite. Echoes are fun, though if you find some OP echo (there are a few) they can help you blaze through most enemies, but even they have some limitations. Though, you have to go out of the way to find those. Other than fighting, they also help you traverse different areas, and different echoes can help you solve problems in different ways.

There are many "duplicates" though, that is different echoes that do similar things, but this just allows you to use the one you like. There are some echoes I didn't use much, but my son liked them a lot and used them regularly.

Overall a very good game, though, I haven't played most of the 2D Zeldas so I can't stay where it stand with them.

So, just finished the game, one of the rare times where I have finished both what I am playing on PS and on Switch. Now what to start next? I have couple of options, will decide later tonight.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

I didn't have much time to play this week, but I've been really enjoying The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. I don't know how it compares to other 2D Zeldas yet, but I'm really liking it so far. I agree on the performance issues, they're not too major. My only complaint would be there's a lot of reading on this game. Not that I don't enjoy reading, but there's so much story being told by conversations with the characters... It feels like a lot at times. I'll keep playing on the weekend.

As I mentioned on the other post, I just ordered the Patrick Star Game, so I'll probably get it some time next week.

Heh, yeah, there can be lot of talking in the start, but I don't think it's that much when you are out exploring, and very little when in dungeons.

I wasn't that interested in Patrick Star Game (never saw SpongeBob as kid, so no nostalgia), but I just watched the trailer and it looks fun. Will see your opinion and then decide if I want to add it to my wishlist or not.
