Snake Pass

So a few days ago, Snake Pass came out on...i think every console and PC. I have it on the switch though for the portability. I have to say, i am LOVING this game!

To anyone who adored the collectathon games such as Banjo Kazooie, Gex, or Mario64 you'll probably love this game. Its another collectathon, though instead of enemies and time trials its entirely movement mechanics - you are a snake, think like one!

I was skeptical at first when i read it was suppose to mimic the movements of a snake to pick up speed, climb, and swim. But honestly, its pretty dang spot on. The controls are a little odd at first but by the 3rd level i already felt very accustomed to them and was moving much quicker and falling much less. Basically, you press a button (ZL for the Switch) to move forward and you move at a fixed pace while you control the head direction with left trigger and/or raise it up with A (for the Switch). Its such a strangely satisfying game to play and collect everything, and to me its ringing all the same bells of joy i had as a 10yr old playing banjo kazooie.

For the record this isnt me, this is just a youtuber i like to watch. I never even heard of this game until he posted this vid. Its 20USD, and i so believe its worth the buy.

Its rare to play a game these days where even the simple act of moving around makes me grin like a dumb kid.

Also if anyone wonders what kind of snake he is, its a Coral snake for some odd reason. Not sure why they picked a venomous snake for a cartoony game lol

I am quite impressed with the physics.
