Cat Quest

Have you ever wanted to be a cat? Like seriously. A tiny little cat, with an amazing power…or do you think that Legend of Zelda games would be better as a kitten trying to save his sister?! No? Well….I think you’re wrong. Just saying. hehe

So this game was one of those random ones on my list. I’ve heard about it, and frankly I thought it was a myth until it showed up at my work the other day and I just knew I had to play it. So that’s what I did.

The storyline is rather adorably dark. You and your sister are out alone on a boat and then a big bad guy decides your sister is very important and then takes her, and tells you to shove off and then you wake up on a shore with a strange mark on your head and a weird Navi type cat is like “HEY LISTEN”

So, it’s a quasi open world adventure game where you get to play as cute little kittens and you fight various creatures, take on fun puzzles and grow your strength and your magic. It starts off with a great tutorial and really let you do things at your own pace for the most part. When you look into the new towns, there’s quite a few things you can do. You can sleep (you literally fall on the ground and it’s too cute) upgrade/purchase new magic spells and just talk to the different catizens and learns a bit more about the place.

The world scales rather nicely as you level. You can tell when something is a little bit more difficult but it’s literally nothing a little piece of armor or a new magic spell can’t solve. You really have to use the skills you’ve learned when you go after some enemies and I like that I have to e on my toes.

Honestly, I absolutely love this game and I have recommended it to everyone that is looking for a fun new game to play on their switch. Now, I am also aware that the game is a few years old, but I apologize for nothing. This is a great game and it has provided me with a lot of fun and I felt it was worthy of a review. So here you go. This is my review haha

I give this game a purr-fect score of 9/10 I loved this game. It kept me entertained long enough that i lost track of time and went to bed later than I usually do haha. It really knew how to suck me in and was worth the time.

This game is available on all platforms so just look it up πŸ˜€

Don’t forget to check out all of my other links n stuff and like share subscribe ect. There is a huge update that’s going to be made here on Saturday so keep in touch!!!

Just a little blog!

So, I have been trying to be more active on social media, here and twitch as well. I will admit it’s been difficult with last week and trying to keep up to date with everything. For the time being, it’s easier to blog then review like a winner haha. But don’t worry, I will still review games and still post them, so I got this πŸ˜€ More than likely, it will be a lot more Switch and handheld games until I get a little bit more time!


So, this month has been interesting, and the last week was horrible. Saki, one of my chinchillas, got very sick last week, when we took her to the vet we couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her, but she was showing signs of some sort of respiratory infection so we got her on antibiotics. On Saturday, the 18th, she passed away. It hit me very hard. She was one of my rescue chinchillas so I had to spend so much time getting her used to human interaction. It was just hard. But I have Happy.

Speaking of her though, she’s a bit under the weather too. She has a little foot infection going on but we’re hoping with antibiotics and special soap we’ll nip it in the butt before it gets worse. I’m just hopeful we’ll get it πŸ™‚ She’s a good kitty! With out her I’d be very lost.

On that same week on Tuesday, I blew my knee out again. Same deal as in January but a lot worse. We have to get an MRI to see how bad it is this time, but I’m pretty sure this time will result in surgery. So I’m a bit anxious to have to deal with this. So this has been a rather sleepless, stressful and highly anxious week. With just everything happening and going on, it’s just been almost too much for me.

There are some good things tho. I finally got to clean up my house today, and sit down and write this blog. I also have gotten my Planeswalker from the War of the Sparks (Yes, I play MTG) It has been a great way to forget what’s happening in the real world and I love it. I will say I haven’t played a lot of MTG in several years but I got back in after almost 18 years with Core 2019. I made a sick mono black deck and I have slowly added Spark cards to keep it standard. Oh, I almost forgot to mention. It’s a Lilliana deck. WHAAAAT?! heh…yeah I’m like that.

But keep an eye out for the next reviews, I got this. I always pull through. I have a lot of games in my backburner to play and review so I can do this. I got this. It’s just been a little tough. I’m sure you can all relate. I love you all! I hope you feel the same!!

Much love this month!

Yoshi’s Crafted World

So, I need to be honest with you guys for a minute here. Unless this is a game I have been looking forward to for a year, or know the series itself is amazing I hardly every buy a game at launch. But here I am, writing this review about a game that launched today, so you can kind of guess what happened.

Let’s start off by saying it was very dead at work today, so I brought out my switch and was like “Why not try out Yoshi, it’ll be a great way to kill time before my relief gets here so I’ll have someone to talk to. It took me about 5 minutes of playing before I realized I needed to get this game in my life. This game NEEDED to join my library…and that’s what happened. heh….This is so unlike me, and normally I’ll wait a but but I just knew, this game needed to come home with me.

So let’s start with the story, as always there’s the bad guy. In this game it’s Baby Boswer and Kamek want to have all of the gems for themselves and end up getting into a tug of war of sorts with several Yoshi causing the stone to basically say screw it and burst all the tiny stones all over this new world. So you, brave little Yoshi, get to go on an adventure and pick up all the stones before Baby Bowser and Kamek.

So here I am, picking WHATEVER COLOR YOSHI I WANT to start the game off with and they throw you into the map area, and you can see where all the stones landed. You then go through the different levels to get the stones and then ya win the game, or something like that. That seems about right hehe. I was rather shocked that I could pick between about 6 or 7 different yoshi and they’re interchangeable throughout the game. Sick of being pink? Blue Yoshi will happily take over. Don’t want to be on Mellow mode? Fantastic! It’s easy to switch.

Wait Mellow mode? What’s that you ask? It’s a easier way to play the game. You’re able to fly around a little and enemies don’t deal as much damage. I found myself wanting to use Mellow mode when I have the switch as a handheld as it was hard to for me to see what was happening around me and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to die or something like that. Ya know, being lazy haha I’m kidding. When I got home thought I did turn it off and was able to enjoy the game like normal. I do enjoy that I can swap whenever I want between modes, it helped during a few parts to not get flustered.

So each map is different and filled with so many cute decorations it was hard for me to focus at first, Everything looks like something you could make out of everyday things and I think that is one of the few things that just made this game something I wanted. To top that off, all of the costumes are unique to the zones your in and are a barrier of sorts. Each costume as a set number of times it can be hit before it disappears, almost like a shield of sorts. Once you use up all of that costume, you’ll have to remember to reequip it before the next round or you won’t start off with it (poo) There are so many costumes to collect it’s insane. The fact that they added Amiibo support expands that closet EVEN more! My Yoshi is a cute little Poochy now with the amiibo from Poochy and Yoshi’s Wooly World πŸ˜€

Each level has many different puzzles for you to figure out using your eggs, and enemies to solve them. The game gives you hints on where the flowers are, but that’s about it. Are they above or below you? Maybe in a hidden event? Figure it out man. The idea that this game had me thinking about the same level as Captain Toad was fascinating. I rarely found myself frustrated with the game. Even if I managed to die several times in a row, or get stuck, the fun factor reminded for quite awhile.

The reverse side of the maps is fun too. It’s neat to go in reverse and see the area through a while new angle. I wish I could enjoy the map more personally. I say it like that because the reverse side is a timed quest to find all of the Poochy puppies. Now, you can totally ignore the time limit and just explore but if you want the reward that’s attatched to the area, you’ll have to obey the rules. Each poochy is hidden pretty well or sometimes not at all. Most of the time it’s a little bit of problem solving to find the pup and get him safely following you with a gentle smack of an egg or it’s brethren,

Each area doesn’t feel like the last one. With new types of bosses and new puzzles it kept my interest for hours on end. I struggled very hard to put my switch down. One more level I’d tell myself, and three later I’d realize what I’ve done. With the different ways to go about the problem solving required to finish, I just never felt bored. I loved how much I had to use my poor brain that was getting dusty from Pokemon Let’s go. Haha.

All in all, I love this game, The fact that it just has you do so many things and I never felt like a total failure (there was one time but I don’t have time to get into it ;P ) I love the collection of costumes and how unique every single one is special to the area as well as events (amiibo support btw!!!) I can’t wait to unlock everything in the game costume wise and it’s paining me to sit here and type this instead of playing the game. I’ve never been drawn to a game so quickly before and I think it’s just because of all the different things you can do and they do a lot to ensure you’re having fun.

I give this game a 10/10 Shy Guys. I absolutely love this game, and I love EVERYTHING about it. I highly recommend this game to anyone that has a switch.

On a side note, I’m still working on some of the other reviews from some older games. This was just a very unexpected turn of events and I just had to get this down. I hope ya guys understand πŸ™‚

Hey guys :3

Hey guys what’s up? It’s been awhile since I’ve sat down and wrote to you. I hope you can forgive me haha There’s been a lot going on, and the major part is the main reason why I have been absent. So we’ll start with what happened.

During the Kingdom Hearts 3 launch WAYYYY back in January…I in a sense dislocated my knee and royally messed up my entire leg. That’s right. It wasn’t fun, I had to get an ambulance to take me to the ER and just had am MRI here last week. Truth me told, for a solid month I wasn’t me. I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t stand and eventually I couldn’t sit long enough to play any games to review or just to stream.

So, up until a few weeks ago I wasn’t myself and it made keeping up with things difficult as I was literally out cold or loopy from having to take pain meds to be a functional human being. I still have trouble today, but at least I can walk for the most part. With that being said, my knee wasn’t healing right and we had to do the MRI. There wasn’t any damage to the tendon or ligaments so there’s that for me. Now we’re unsure where to go since physical therapy wasn’t doing anything for the popping, locking and shifting it was doing. But I have hope πŸ™‚

So with myself being back to normal, I do believe next week I’ll have the time to sit down and start streaming again. It’s amazing what happens when you can’t walk and do daily chores for a few months. But I’m almost caught up in cleaning So I’m super excited about that. I also have to get caught up on my Anime that I’ve fallen behind on haha There’s still a lot I need to do to be fully back to normal but I know I can get there πŸ™‚

Well with all of that being said, I will get back to Streaming and reviewing here shortly, I was able to play a few new releases so I can get those up in the que for you while I get back to normal!

I love you all πŸ™‚

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

So, this review is a week or so late, sorry about that. I’ve been going though some  things and it’s caused me to fall behind on quite a few things. Since I am feeling better, now is the best time as any to get this review out and ready for you guys!

So, let’s get down to it and I’m going to start with the controls. I couldn’t get the hang on using the Joy Cons…I think it’s because of my fat hands, but I just couldn’t get it. Thankfully, I have my old gamecube controllers and it made it easier for me, minus the fact I had to relearn all of my characters since they redid some of the move sets. For the most part, I got the hang of the controls rather quickly, and could transfer the set from character to character.

So the story line, I think from that I grabbed besides the “Hey these guys took your souls and now they’re evil and you have to defeat them to get them into your party so You can actually fight them and all of that stuff” Then you add, Darkness and light work together or they don’t? I have no idea. I just kind of went with the flow.

The fights in the campaign mode can be super difficult. I found myself getting pretty flustered so, I’d take a break to just play against NPC’s and I had like 5 people to pick from. So back to the campaign I suppose.

Now, I know. you can unlock the characters by playing against NPC’s but I kind of missed having a rather big selection at the start. So it might be petty, I’m aware. But the selection, the game varitey and everything, made the hard work worth it. Between working, and trying to get my 2019 plan working, it took a few days (or hours I do believe)

So let’s talk spirits. They’re pretty nifty. There are so many of them, each unique. At first, it’s hard to decide what’s the best, and what’s the worst. But soon you learn what the combos are, what spirit goes with this one ect ect. The possibilities are almost endless, and once you get it down, it’s pretty dope. I loved seeing what worked best for me and what didn’t.

The new trophy system is rather neat. It’s a little puzzle board that you can either unlock with certain items you get on special missions, or you do what it says you need to do to unlock them. Though the pictures really don’t go together, they make a really neat collage. So don’t worry if your puzzle looks funky. So does mine :3

All in all, it was a rough start for me, and that’s fine. I didn’t expect me to be the best around with not playing a smash game since the Wii U. So it’s been a few years. I also felt spoiled by having access to 10+ characters at launch and not having to work for them. I don’t have a lot negative to say about this game that isn’t how I feel.

I know that’s how this kind of website works, this is all how I feel about games, but besides being spoiled with fat hands, this game is great. The amount of time it takes to actually unlock everything, and everyone is fairly reasonable for someone like me that works a full time job.

Super Smash Bros Ulitmate I think deserved a 8/10 trophies. I really enjoyed the game, and i like to feel like a child again. It’s fantastic and I do recommend this to everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey guys! I wanted to take the time to write this month’s blog and catch up on what I’ve missed, and what you’ve missed. I want to start off with wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you spend it with your loved ones and enjoy being in their company. The holidays are about spending time with your family. Cherish the time you have. πŸ™‚Β  Each year, we open our house to those who can’t be with their loved ones, and it’s been a tradition for quite a few years. I always make enough to feed everyone that come over. I just want my friends to know how much I truly care about them. Everyone is special to me. Everyone matters.

 

Now that this is out of the way, how is everyone doing? It’s been awhile since I’ve posted things. Due to the holidays and everything, work has been quite busy and time consuming. I’ve barely had enough time to play games. I picked up Pokemon Leaf Green again, only to restart it because for some reason, all that was in my possession was a Kakuna haha.Β  According to my Pokedex, I had a lot of other Pokemon captured and even had my Charmander evolve.Β  So who knows what happened haha.

 

In my down time, when I’m not playing games, I have picked up writing my book again. So far, from the tidbits I’ve released to close friends, I’m headed in the right direction. I’ve done quite a few stories in the past, all can be read on my Deviant art.Β  I’m rather excited to be honest about working on these types of things again. I rather enjoy writing and bringing my fantasy world to life. With that being said, I haven’t forgotten about streaming of gaming.Β  It’s just a matter of time.

 

With regards to streaming, I’m going to make an attempt to stream me making Harry Potter robes I was commissioned to make by a friend of mine for their kids Christmas presents. I’m working on a way to get good camera angles so I can get everything perfect for the stream. I feel like this is a good opportunity to show off I’m more than just a streamer and an artist. Haha. But we’ll see.

 

For those of you who don’t know about the recent addition to the UnicornMuffin Family…I’m proud to announce that I now own a cat…or rather I’m now owned by a cat. Happy has been in my house for a little over the month now. I have never thought of my self as a cat person, but I have fallen in love with this little fur ball. She was a stray living outside of our house for about a week before it started to get super cold. I brought her inside, took her to the vet and waited a fair bit of time for someone to claim her before I took her as my own. She’s a little under a year old and has been such a good kitty. I’m very lucky to have her in my life.

 

All in all, November has been eventful, exciting and everything else. I hope the month is treating you all well, and I can’t wait to get into this new schedule with you guys! As always, I appreciate every single one of you. Don’t forget, if you have any game suggestions, or just want to reach out, feel free to send me an email at lily@unicornmuffin.tv .

 

Happy November everyone <3

Pokemon Let’s go

So hi guys! I am not dead haha. The curse of being a retail worker has caught up with me and with Black Friday this week I have been forced to focus on my job than playing games. I know I know. It sucks but that’s what happens when you make money haha. But that’s ok. I’m going to start off by saying, I have had a lot of requests for Fallout 76. It’s going to be a bit before I get the game. I’m having flashbacks from ESO with this game…I’m sorry. I do plan on purchasing BO4 here shortly, but enough of that. Let’s get into this review.

 

For those of you who know me, then you’re aware of how much of a Pokemon fan I am. I remember pulling out my TCG and trading them on the playground, or fighting my friends and kicking their butt. I remember getting my first card. It was Ponyta. I got it because my friend knew I like horses, and he had an extra one he could give me. Ever since then, I have loved the series. Something about it, the fact I could do about anything in the game, whether it was to be a trainer, or a breeder. You could learn about all the different Pokemon and felt like YOU were actually changing the world. It was a lot of things that made this game and series special for me.

 

I have been waiting for this game for awhile, and when I finally got my hands on it, I was elated. Why do you ask? Because the new ideas the game had, and the way it makes the game feel to old veteran players, just spoke it me. It spoke the words of love. As I’m sitting here writing this review, I can’t stop but think I could be playing the game instead of typing on my laptop telling you guys how I feel about this game. But at the same time, I could also be playing the game now and typing one handed. You don’t know what I’m doing. You don’t know me!

 

Haha all joking aside, let’s get into this review. The story line, is basically the same from the first games, and the remakes.  Stop Team Rocket while you defeat your rival and Blue even shows up to make you feel like you’re doing things. I really like the old school feeling as well as the feel of some of the newer games. Not only do I get to relive my childhood in 3d, I get one of my favorite Pokemon to follow me through my journey.  I rather enjoy the little tidbits or lore, and other story ideas that are added to the game as well. Reading the different dialog from the different people are fantastic.

 

So what makes the dialog so neat? They refer to the other games, and the other regions.  For example, I came across a trainer that was from the Alolan area, and she talked about how she missed the beauty that was there, but the water on this place is almost as pretty.  The nods to previous games, and to the current ones make it worth talking to everyone.  But, besides talking to people to see what they have to say, some of the special moves from TMs and HMs are only obtainable when you talk to them. So, the idea of having to speak to everyone excites me. I do it anyways, but now I feel like it’s worth it.

 

Battling in this game is different from the other games. Let’s start with Trainer/Gym/other people. The battle system is the same as it has been. You have the same 4 moves, and there’s some fancy animations for each move. They did add some elite trainers you can fight as well as some Coach Trainers that teach you how to do other moves and how to do things during a fight. The Gym leaders are the total same, with some puzzles added in some of the gyms adding to the fun and excitement.

 

When it comes to wild pokemon, this is a bit different. Why do you ask? Because you don’t actually fight them. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But Lily, I don’t like Pokemon Go, why would I want to play this game if I don’t fight wild pokemon?” Three words for you. Mount Moon Cave. Now, with that being said, let me explain why I like how they changed the wild fights. Instead of walking through tall grass then realizing that you left all your repels in your other bag…Wild Pokemon now just appear and run round so you can avoid them all together and with the actual lack of wild pokemon fights, making them easier to run away from as well. So, now you see why I’m rather fond of this mode.

 

With the addition of the new Pokeball Plus, it gives you the option to really feel like a real trainer with the option to “throw” the ball to catch the pokemon. On top of that, it’s another controller AND a Pokewalker. You know that little devide from Heart Gold ans Soul Silver? Yeah, you can totally take pokemon out with you. They will call out to you for attention an give you gifts along your trip. I couldn’t help but get one of these, and I am so excited that I did!!!

 

All in all, this is a Pokemon game. It’s a great one and perfect for those starting their adventure and veterans alike. I feel like this is a good title, and up there with Super Mario Party and, dare I say, Red Dead Redemption 2. There’s only been a handful of pokemon games that I didn’t know, and only a few I feel very passionate about. This is one of those titles that I am passionate about.

 

Check out the Nintendo website or any game selling store to pick up your copy. If you’re lucky enough, get the ball too! TOTALLY worth it!

 

I give this game 10\10 rare candy. I literally can’t tell you how special this game is to me without sounding like a child. I absolutely enjoy this game and I can’t seem to put it down.  I highly recommend this game if you’re into the series and own a switch!

Super Mario Party Switch

I have really been looking forward to this game for awhile. Since we had out extra copies checked out, I wasn’t able to do Assassin’s creed but that’s ok! I’m still happy with my choice regardless of what game is today’s review.

So first, I’m excited that I was able to play this game alone. As someone who has very little friends that I could play with, I’m excited that i could rely on NPCs  to be there for me and want us to win. I am so grateful I have them in my shy guy life.

So I’m going to be rather honest here, and let you all know it’s been a few years since I’ve actually sat and played a Mario Party game. I honestly can’t really remember the last time I played one, so from what I DO remember (I’m pretty sure I played on the Wii) I had a lot of fun, and with the new additional play modes, I think it has done the game a lot of justice.  I really liked that I could play three different ways.

 

Old Way: Board game. I forgot how fun it was to watch the NPCs roll, mess up  and all of that other fun stuff. That’s about the only thing I really remember from Mario party games. That and the cute mini games that remind me of Warioware. God, I love that game. If you ever want a fun game to play with your friends hitting the booze, this is it. So the one thing I really love is that each character has their own dice. Which I love. I am a huge Shy guy fan, and my dice was pretty good mix. I think it was like 04446. I don’t really remember haha. You can set up how many turns you have per game and it’s nice enough to give you the average time it takes to do one game.  You can get allies too that can help you with rolls and such. It’s great. When you get them at least haha. When your npc foes get them, it’s a little

 

Rhythm or Rhyme! Both, I’m terrible at.  So safe to say, I was total garbage for these games.  But, the great variation there was made it fun even though I was super terrible I liked the whack a mole and the batting cage. I don’t have too much more to say on that

I also rather enjoy the rafting mode as well, but this one really requires teamwork, and a lot of us  screaming at the NPCs Mostly. “MARIO CALM DOWN” or “YOSHI WHAT ARE YOU DOINg?!?!” It made for a lot of fun in the long run. With the endless outcomes, it’s safe to say that none of the games will play the same. I really like these kind of games.

 

All in all, I lost several hours into this game, and I’m sure if I wasn’t really paying attention,  trust me. All in all, I recommend this game if you have friends and want to play with them. The only caution I have is that the game is only compatible with Joycons. That was kind of turn off for me …that or you can pay to play with your friends on another switch. Not that I’m against the pay to play, but I am against paying for more controllers (jk).

 

At the end of the day, I give this game a 9/10 stars. I really liked it. It was fun to play alone as well with other people. It’s a great way to kill several hours or just a minute.

Best world quest ever!!!

October is on the way!

Hey guys what’s up!? It’s ya gurl Lily here with a blog post because she hasn’t played anything new yet haha So anyways! I have some fun things to talk about!

 

So firstly, I haven’t stopped streaming! I know I have been gone for a long time but I am going to start it back up again! I’ve been having some nerve problems in my arms and it’s been making it hard to sit and play games.Β  Hopefully we can figure out what’s wrong with me but until then, I’m doing the best I can with what I have πŸ˜€ I plan on doing a lot more streaming here in the in October with all of the new events going on and stop being lazy in WoW and actually do the things that I need to do, yes? YES!!!

 

I have a few things in mind with this website, mostly with posting videos. I have fallen quite a bit behind with clips and quirks from streams and gaming in general. I’ve been usingΒ  Plays.TVΒ  Β 

a lot for clips and such and will slowly start to add them on here so I’m not crowding the front page with them at all. I know that can be annoying like you know, when I forget to post like 5 episodes of the podcast in a timely manner then do Oh shit son, this is a thing I didn’t do.Β  Now I have also failed to keep up with Tumblr which is also my fault but I”m not sure what I’m going to do with that whether I keep it up to date or just let it slowly go. My Instagram still posts to it so we’ll see how it goes!!!

 

With October coming up, there are a lot of game releases going on. I’m going to be honest with you, I probably will not play the new COD as it requires Platstion Plus/ Xbox live Gold. I don’t pay for those for the reason I don’t have friends on console so it’s silly to waste the money for them. However, I may get a trial or whatever and try out CoD, but please don’t get too excited!!! I have quite a few games on my list, and frankly I’m excited for most of them! Assassin’s Creed, Red Dead and My Hero are on that list, among Mega Man. I can’t wait to get a hold of these games and play them.

As always, I want to tell you guys how much I love and appreciate you. I do these for you and I have fun as well! If there’s anything you want me to play please let me know below or email me at lily@unicornmuffin.tv!

 

Have an amazing day week and month <3
