Everyone needs to own a PS4 and Nintendo Switch this year due to the exclusives coming out for both consoles and the third-party games coming to the PS4 and the lackluster Microsoft lineup.

Using the motion controllers to combine a variety of shapes and colors (and a bit of freehand painting) you’ll produce beats, synths and…other musical sounds (I’m not an EDM expert so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance on the subject) which will create and elevate the chosen track (again not a huge selection but enough to showcase ArtPulse).

Normally I try to go into ever Indie title I play with an open mind, and that was no different with Himno. The game boasts “a non-violent, no death platformer.” That may be true that you do not fight off zombies or orcs. However, the bit about not dying is a load of crap as you will constantly fall into the water as you have no clue where you are going half the time.
The animation is nice and it looks like it controls well but they seem to have forgotten to make it a game.

For instance, one enemy walks on a platform and by shooting it, you can use it to access higher heights. Another is a flying one that when shot, it falls to the ground briefly, letting the player have a moment to jump atop of it and ride upwards. Figuring out the patterns of the enemies and what their benefits are is the key to success in finishing stages. There’s not much difficulty since each time a new concept such as a new enemy appears, the next few stages are simplified to learn the benefits of that enemy.
Horizon Zero Dawn is going to be incredible. Can't wait for that title.
I'd rather get a Switch when it is cheaper and has a more sizable library. There's no reason to be an early adopter and jump on board this year, not even that free trial period for its underwhelming subscription service
And a Scorpio or Xbox One S.
Already have a PS4, but buying the switch for one game isn't worth it. I'll see if Breath of the Wild is a must have first. Spending $360 for one game is a lot.
So good and so true. They are the must own consoles for the year, though PS4 more so than the Switch in my opinion
