In this week’s gaming round-up, we dive into the personal gaming experiences of our team amidst a busy schedule. Chris Tapsell steps in to cover the gaming scene this week, showcasing his range from mobile to tabletop favourites.
Continuing the Pokémon TCG Journey on iPhone
Chris is still invested in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket on iPhone, despite a streak of poor luck with the Team Rocket set. While he’s been struggling to acquire key cards like the elusive Team Rocket’s Raticate ex, he’s found joy in the set’s playful nature and stunning card artwork, even though the game’s current meta strategy feels a bit predictable.
Progress Halt in Star Wars: Zero Company on PC
Chris admits to delays in finalising his review of Star Wars: Zero Company. While juggling multiple games with pressing deadlines, the game has taken a backseat temporarily. Despite this, he enjoys the campaign and throws a nod to the intriguing Anakin level, with hopes of soon providing a more in-depth review.
Delving into Dungeons & Dragons
Brand new to the world of Dungeons & Dragons, Chris explores this tabletop game with a regular group. He plays as a Loxodon, reminiscent of a Kajiit but instead an elephant-person, with a pacifist clerical background. His role involves overseeing a rather chaotic party, notably a suspicious Tiefling warlock. Balancing the group’s antics, he aligns himself as a calming influence, likened to a cross between Gandalf and Brother William of Baskerville.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault Captivates on Xbox Series X
Freelancer Kaan shares their experience with the recently released Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault. Unlike its predecessor, the sequel offers constant enticements through its roguelike mechanics. Players are rewarded with impactful upgrades, diverse weapons, and new shop décor, fundamentally altering gameplay for a more satisfying experience. The greatly enhanced combat against monsters further elevates the fun.
