Slends

The fact the game is even a budget title makes it even more worth it!! I had never played a splatoon game before so im not even biased giving it this rating

Contact is a game from the early days of the ds, when no one really had any idea on how to make a good use of the touch screen and tried to mix and match between buttons and touch screen usage, since its required in a couple of sections, while also giving the possibility to play the game entirely with only touch controls. Despite the weird control choice, Control (no pun intended) is a great rpg with a funny yet catchy story, weird fighting mechanigs, a bit of grinding, fourth wall breaks, and an ending you wont soon forget. Bosses are always different and play with different gimmicks, dungeons are really fun to crawl through and full of hidden paths, as well as loads of references to other videogames. Characters are likeable, albeit none of them are explored enough nor have enough depth. Combat manages to be fun while being mostly automatic (this doesnt apply to some of the bosses that really spice things up!) and getting better stata did not feel grindy at all, i just earned them by playing the game normally. What i did, however, dislike, is how a 10000 coins item is REQUIRED to progress with the story. in a game like this, where money is scarse due to not being as important and the most expensive equipment costs 5000, pricing a story related item that high is simply absurd. That was the grindy part for me. Despite that, I highly reccomend playing this game, just save your money in advance and be ready to sell every weapon you dont need when the times comes. I wish the game was a little bit longer.
