iOS/Switch Update

Posted on Written by

Apart from the PS4 I play my iPad quite a lot, in fact, more than my Switch.
I have updated my Play & Completion section with recent iOS titles.

With iOS the majority of games are never-ending you just keep on playing because there is always new updates, more levels or new events. Games that I have stopped playing I will add to my completion list for example like Clash Royale or State of Survival where I have played in excess of 50 hours plus on each!

So what am I playing currently?
Poker Showdown is my current favourite it is a western style rpg where you use poker hands to do battle reminds me a lot of the great Sword & Poker games.

Motorsport Manager Online, Township, Boom Beach, Score Hero, 8 Ball Pool & Mini Metro are my quick five minute fix games that I tend to play most days.

On the Switch I have been enjoying a fair bit of Mario Tennis & Ring Fit Adventure.

The Outer Worlds (PS4) – Completed

Posted on Written by

Feels like a fallout game but so much better with the different planets you can visit & the many characters in the game. Each quest has a good story to follow and always ensures you meet some surprises along the way. There are six companions in the game but you will quickly find the two you like for me that was Parvati & Ellie.

It has a fallout style opening in which you wake up from a hibernation chamber & begin a quest for Doctor Welles. The main questline could have been slightly longer but leaves it with an ending that is sure to have a sequel. There are many side quests, tasks & companion quests to complete.

Here's hoping that the sequel is not an xbox exclusive.

Next to play something a little shorter in Concrete Genie.

Well hello there! It is time for Episode 36 of your least favourite podcast! We timed it specially so that it was impossible for us to watch the PlayStation 5 reveal, so if you’re expecting two hours of hot chat on that, jog on!

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order (PS4) – Completed

Posted on Written by

A bit late on this post, I completed the game last month. It is a bit rough around the edges but it is easily the best Star Wars game I have played in years. Nothing is more fun than deflecting laser shots or slicing a stormtrooper with a light saber.

It has taken ideas from other action adventures games like Uncharted/Tomb Raider but it's Star Wars so that's ok.

Decent 7/10


Next The Outer Worlds

Just in case being locked down wasn’t driving you mad already, the ugvm Podcasting Team(TM) have only gone and done Episode 35 to assist with your decline. Lucky you!

In this non-infectious episode, deKay, Toby, Zo and Kendrick discuss the Actual Gameplay Footage (or lack of it) in the Xbox X Series SX X S stream, Things Happening In China (no, not that thing), more cancelled (and uncancelled) things, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and Zombie Microprose. And other stuff of variable interest. Plus! Games! Including these!

  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons
  • Picross S2
  • Flashback
  • Skyrim
  • Beat Saber
  • Half-Life Alyx
  • Carly and the Reaperman

In addition we have some terrible banter and your questions! Well, not your questions as you didn’t submit any even though we asked nicely. But there are questions from other people.
