 Hi everyone, welcome back to a long overdue played lately. I don't even remember my last played lately, but this one is long overdue. I have played a lot of games lately and I've not talked about them. I have had the f*** bit again. I have been playing a lot of Pokemon Violet. I also have Scarlet. More on that in another video. This time I'm going to talk about the games that I've been playing on my PlayStation 5 recently and I have a hidden gem. And I've promised you guys that I was going to talk about this hidden gem. I call it a hidden gem, call it whatever you want. But I found this game by accident and by myself. And I am talking about a game that went totally under everyone's radar. And that would be the Smurf's Mission Relief. It is a 3D platformer by Osom Studio that was released last year. And it is out on PS4, PS5, Xbox, PC and recently also ported to the Switch. I had to pick up the Switch version as well, which also included some fun things like stickers and a keychain. Such a cute packaging. But the game, I mean, you may be thinking Smurf's? Are they even a thing still? Apparently they are. They came out with a pretty good game last year that I just recently found. This video is sponsored by Epic Lute. I'm going to show you what they sent over to me. And I personally picked out these jewelry pieces. I thought they were super cute, amazing, high attention to detail, great craftsmanship. These items are inspired by ancient symbols and a lot of Norse necklaces, rings, mugs. If you want to purchase this stuff, I have a link down below. And it's important that you use my link. I mean, look at this necklace. How about this necklace? Highly recommend. Thank you for sponsoring this video. It looks really good. I am loving the happy colors of this game. You get to play as several Smurfs and progress through 3D platforming fun areas where you are tasked with cleaning the forest with this reverse vacuum cleaner of sorts. Almost like a Luigi's Mansion style vacuum cleaner going on. But it's going in reverse. You are actually cleaning the forest of some nasty stuff. This is such a cozy game. I play it on PlayStation and also on Switch because I just had to. The PlayStation version is the one that runs the best and looks the best, of course. But then again, I enjoy this type of game handheld. And it runs fine on the Switch. Confirmed. Fine. Considering the Switch being Switch. It's a console that definitely is starting to age. That's so sad. Now in Smurfs, every area has a percentage of healing, making it satisfying to try to fully complete every area. Like clean every area. Get 100%. You can also upgrade your healing spray, change the overall difficulty or play in a co-op mode. This game is good for kids too. Definitely. I don't know if it's just that I grew up on 3D platformers. So then I automatically think all 3D platformers, they are good for kids because they were good for me when I was a kid. But I think it's actually good for kids. There's just something very appealing and you know, if this is like one of the first games that you ever play, you learn how to master a controller and precision jumping, platforming in 3D. I don't know. I just thought I would mention that. The platforming is excellent in the game. I am very happy with this as a 3D platformer. I genre that I'm sorely missing. I'm so sick and tired of side-scrolling platformers. I need more 3D platformers in my life. Like this. If you know of more 3D platformers that I apparently don't know about, let me know down below. Because I'm always on a lookout for a good 3D platformer. It has a voice acting, which is fine. But performance is just not the best. But it's workable. Check out Smurfs everywhere. And some other games that I have played. I've not played it a ton. Gonna be completely honest with you. Bayonetta 3. I've said it before that I've never played a Bayonetta game. Just pull this closer on that one. But I got the general gist. Now this is an action combat combo based solo action game. I guess. With this girl Bayonetta and she has these fancy moves. And I get the entire idea of a game like this. It's a lot of action. A lot of over the top stuff going on on the screen. But it is not a game for me. Because I feel like it is very linear. And you have to love the combat or else it's not gonna be worth it. And I did not love the combat or anything actually. The graphics are okay. I kinda like her. But there's just something that I don't like about her. I don't know. From the people that have played it fully. They swear by it. I have a ton of people on my discord swearing by this game. So whatever I'm saying. You should not always take my word for it. Because I have perhaps a different type of taste in games. Than well obviously. Than a lot of other people. People are saying that it is a good game. But you know me. I cannot lie. I'm just gonna say that it's not a game for me. I wanna give this away to someone for Christmas perhaps. I am envious of the people that enjoy a game. When I can't. Wow. Now guys. I have written my review. It is coming up. But I take my time with my reviews. Whatever. I am done now with Pokemon Violet. I think I have one gym badge left in the victory road storyline. I'm done with the other storylines within the game. Most of my Pokemon are now above level 70. So I'm pretty done. I'm gonna give you a sneak peek of what I think. It's a bittersweet experience. Wait for a sale maybe. You know what I mean. LOL. But Nintendo did send over stickers. They are cute. And they sent over this. Which I can drink from. Obviously. Pretty cute guys. And not even to mention this thing that I got from Baric Sala. Adorable. Thank you. I am loving the starters of Scarlet and Violet. Like this generation was actually a D generation. Where I was the most unsure which one I wanted to pick in the start of the game. But I mean if you Coco he just spoke to me. So I had to go with him. But I could just as well be just as happy with these two. Oh yeah. Let's have them there. Guys this is played lately. And I'm just going over a bunch of stuff. I'm gonna say I'm playing Harvest Sala also. I need more time with it. I really do. And I'm also really into playing a lot of older games. Like going back to some older games. Because I was writing my Game of the Year list earlier. One. I realized that I have played a lot of released this year. Releases this year. This makes sense to some of you I'm sure. But I've not played a lot of earlier years releases this year. But right now on the other hand. I am going Sola back to the Outer Worlds. Pretty good game. Such an underrated game. And I am going back to Marys Gelter too. Because that's apparently what I do every single Christmas holiday. Vacation Sola time of the year. I feel very Christmasy within Marys Gelter. Now guys. I have this thing sent over to me to be unboxed on the channel. And it is a special box that says Persona 5 Royal. Here we have a little card. Racer. Actually racer. You know I'm a racer fan girl. Look. I'm a racer fan girl. This is just standing here. Like what? Now this is a universal quick charging stand for Xbox. Thank you. I actually need that sort of thing. We have a lot of these things. Why not make them as I mean. Snoota always makes them as down here. Why can't I do that? Instantly regretted that. Okay. Okay. Persona 5 Royal Xbox Racer Controller guys. That feels so good. Thank you so much for sending this over to me. Now feel free to Google that sort of thing. If you want to pick up something like this for yourself also. I assume it would be carbon black Persona 5 Royal Xbox Controller and a universal quick charging stand for the Xbox. Persona 5 Royal. You know. What do you guys think of Persona 5 Royal? Do you love it? Do you enjoy it? Is it as good as Persona 4 Golden? I don't know. I liked Persona 4 Golden. I did. I played around the Vida. But these are games that are very universe heavy. You have to be sort of invested and take your time I feel like in the Persona universe. I'm personally very fond of Shin Megami Tensei that I played last year. Which is the same universe from what I get. I'm not an expert on that universe. Just gonna say that. But pretty cute. Pretty good. What's that everything? I'm editing a lot of videos and I just got out of you know being sick. And I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do. But I mean like in general if you want to see if I'm alive. You can follow me on my Instagram and also join the discord which I am active in these days. Now thank you so much for watching and I want to hear what you are playing lately. Let's have a discussion down below and hit that like button guys. Thank you so much for watching and I will see you later. Check out Epic Lute with a link down below. Hey, how are you? Oh, you're the one healing everything? Now she's so old that I haven't played this for a long time. What the hell is this?
