With the weekend upon us, it's time to get down to doing something fun.
There is always so much to do during the week, what with work, making dinner, and if you have them, taking the kids here, there, and everywhere under the sun. But finally, the weekend comes and, hopefully, you can breathe a sigh of relief and relax a bit.
This weekend seems to be quiet for us, as the guys have not told me of any plans other than to play games. And that's great. Everyone needs a rest now and then, and to play something fun, whether it's the latest sports game, some indie demos, or a fun arcade racer. And that is what we plan on doing over the next two days.
Nearly three years on from the release of Deltarune Chapter 1, the long-awaited release of Chapter 2 is finally here. Available as a combined download on the eShop with the previous chapter, it's far from a conclusive follow-up, and it introduces more questions than answers, but this generally feels like a worthwhile continuation of an intriguing release. Plus, it's also free, so you really don't have any excuse to pass up giving it a try.
The story picks up right after that cliffhanger ending, though it amusingly treats that event in a rather anticlimactic fashion. From there, it isn't long before Kris and Susie find themselves back in the Dark World and caught up in another adventure with Ralsei. This time, your party has to explore a city inspired by the early internet and you primarily fight against a goofy, wine-drunk antagonist named Queen. And while choices made in the previous chapter may have affected the story leading up to the ending — but not the ending itself — there is a notable second route you can take here that leads to a fittingly cold and substantially different result.
