I still like running around Hawkins and completing quests - even if the story is just the same as the show - so hopefully I can get through it solo. I didn’t notice it earlier in the game, but it’s been happening fairly often now. I also noticed there’s a lot of lag and frame drops over the last chapter or so.
I’ll probably give it another go, but if I can’t find a way to keep them separated on my own, I’m not sure I’ll end up finishing the game.

After a while, I managed to bump them down to almost no health, then they got near each other and healed back to full health. But alone with an AI that does whatever it wants, I can’t seem to keep them apart. If they get close to each other, they heal - and fast! For two players, I can see this being a fun battle. They’re not too hard to damage, but you need to keep them separate. That’s because this boss is two separate people. The problem is, it feels like it was designed for two players and doesn’t feel great playing solo. But now I’m stuck on the fifth chapter boss. It was actually pretty easy once I crafter some better trinkets. I got past the fourth chapter boss that I was having trouble with. I ended up finishing the show already, but now I’m behind on the game. Last week I mentioned Stranger Things 3: The Game on Switch, as I was watching the show and playing the game simultaneously.

It’s free to try, though, so give it a go if you’re curious about it. I didn’t play long enough for that to happen, though, as I was getting bored. Once you run out, you’ll have to wait or buy more. I can see there’s a lot of potential for it to start feeling like you need to spend money, as each run costs energy. The bosses gave me more trouble, but it still seems pretty easy, at least early on. I could take most of them down by just tapping wildly and shooting off a few skills here and there. The dungeons I’ve played through so far have all been fairly small and the enemies didn’t vary too much. You can also swipe to dash out of harm’s way, but you’ll mostly use that with bosses. Your character automatically springs onto enemies and other objects in the room, so you don’t have to worry about balancing the two actions with one finger. It’s a one-finger dungeon crawler where you drag your finger around the screen to move and tap to attack. Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is, as the name suggests, all about the loot. So as much as I want to recommend the game due to its sense of humor, I would suggest waiting for this game-breaking bug to be fixed first. I got farther the second time around, but it still happened. It happened on my first game after just a few minutes, so I started over. What I can’t work around is the constant crashing to the title screen. For instance, if you hold down on something to see its description, it pops up under your thumb instead of above it. The slow walking speed is a bit of a drain and the touch controls could use some improvements. Despite struggling a bit to keep my heroes alive, I was enjoying it. And this band of merry misfits loves to poke fun at microtransactions, RPG tropes, and pretty much anything under the sun. Starting from the character creation screen, where I chose a “strange hat” that looks like a Smurf hat and my inability to choose boobs, I knew this was going to be a lighthearted game. The main attraction for me so far, though, is the tongue-in-cheek fourth-wall-breaking humor. It’s harder than it sounds, as everything takes place in real time instead of being turn-based. Your job is to use healing spells to keep everyone else alive. You’re joined by a full party of heroes - a knight, archer, sorcerer and more - but you don’t get to do any of the attacking. Healer’s Quest is an RPG where you play the supporting role of a healer. But if you can take a blind plunge, I believe that’s the best way to experience it. If you still need more than that, you can try watching part of my gameplay videos to get a better idea of what it’s like.
So hopefully my review is informative enough without ruining all the discovery. I still recommend playing it without reading or watching anything, but I understand that $20 can be a lot to drop on a game you know nothing about. It’s hard to talk about it without spoiling things but I did my best in my full review here. What Remains of Edith FinchĪfter waiting patiently for years for What Remains of Edith Finch to come to iOS, I decided to play on my Switch when it released about a week ago. It’s a mix across different genres, too, so hopefully there’s something here for for everyone. I’ve still got a mix of iOS and Switch games for you, including some that I mentioned last week, as well as others that aren’t out yet. Hi everyone, and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I’ve been playing over the last seven days.
