My Primary Directive is to Have Fun | Iron Diamond [EP01]
8Unsure how much of this I will actually play for the channel, but I enjoyed the "quick" bash I had on it today.
While it is not the best looking game, it has some solid systems.
While it has floaty jumping, everything else mechanically seems pretty tight.
Plus, I like the sense of humour in conversations: our protagonist is very... blunt...! I appreciate that!
(And at £4.01 for launch week, it's kind of a steal if you fancy some Metroiding.)
