Last week flew by with only a couple of highlights slipping through the cracks. The arcade classic, The Quest of Ki from Namco’s Vs series, made its way to the Archives. Besides that, we’ve covered everything noteworthy on RFN 900.
The Horizon series seems perpetually caught in the shadows of massive releases. The first game arrived just before Breath of the Wild captured everyone’s imagination, while the sequel had to share its moment with the behemoth that was Elden Ring. And who could forget when a lavish remaster was more or less released in the same breath as the latest Dragon Age? This week, it’s déjà vu with Lego Horizon Adventures being outshone in our spotlight, thanks to the dynamic pair of Dragon Quest III HD-2D and Tetris Forever. Willem already brought us his take on Tetris, and we’re expecting the Dragon Quest review imminently.
Keep an eye out for Petit Island; if you’re faithful to the Wholesome Direct, you’d recognize it even on slow play. Also, a set of Irem shooters is soon up for grabs, and for nostalgic gamers, the EggConsole will launch yet another Ys variant.
