That reminds me of the Whitby chapter in Dracula. I skimmed through it in the end.

So during my teenage years, wherein my love of comics was established. There was a local comic book shop in the high street. I went there whenever I had money of my own. I thought I owned loads of comics, back in the day. It's funny now to see they basically fill a small hold all bag. But at one stage, the owner was given promo posters for the big event of that summer: Onslaught. I expressed a huge interest in the main poster he received, at the time. A year or so later, the shop was closing down. The owner was moving to bigger premises in another town. On the last day, he calls me to the till and hands me the immaculately preserved, now folded, poster. For free. "As a valued customer". I was beaming. Ironically, I loved the poster too much. Mum attached it to the bedroom wall ..permanently, with glue. A bedroom redecoration or two later and it was lost forever. Why mention this now? I recently found the artwork online and thought I would share: The original piece had huge font at the bottom, which read: Onslaught is here! No one is safe.

Legacy of Kain: Dark Prophecy and Dead Sun are released as novels.

I guess that's why the wolf boss in the trailer split into three? It says solo play though, which is all I ever want from a Souls game. Definitely intrigued by the Birdman. It gives me Shining Force vibes.

It looked interesting. I do like that we are world building immediately. I wonder who the villain is going to be? Obviously Luthor is there but there will likely be someone Supes physically fights.

Honestly, it is a hard sell. Not the easiest game to replay or enjoy retroactively. To be fair, Soul Reaver does an excellent job of covering the main story beats of BO 1 without undue exposition.

Vagrant Story was already called out. So I would add Alundra or Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen. Sony really shot themselves in the foot with how they treated their very own Zelda. Meanwhile, the first in the LoK series could definitely benefit from a revamp (pun intended).

No pics as I haven't got my Switch to hand but: Inside: £1.69 Limbo: 89p I think I finished Limbo some time ago? Inside, I never got around to. But at those prices I'm more than happy to jump back into both.

Forgot to mention this one sooner...
