There’s no better way to say it: It was a slow week.
Don’t get it mixed up, there were streams. There just weren’t as many games as we’ve seen and there was some surgery too. If you are confused, we’ll get into what happened and how things are going for our resident derp.
This week could be labeled slower due to being more of a preparation week. With new consoles set to come out, and games with them, there wasn’t a set schedule made for Cohh. We knew what was coming soon™ (See: Yakuza: Like A Dragon) but what was coming now?!?
Thankfully there wasn’t another Cyperpunk delay.
Times like these are when Cohh tends to take a suggestion from chat, and this became a weeklong playthrough of “13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.” Think it could be safe to say this game grew on him. As the week came to a close, we watched him drop the mechs and dive into the world of Vikings.
A slower week but still entertaining. I hope you’re ready because it’s time for your review.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
High School Drama & Mechs
Twitch chat never disappoints. Ever. Well, there was that one time- but we do not talk about it. That secret is safe in the Cohhilition.
When Cohh took the suggestion from a member of the community, the chat was excited to see him play it. What a wild ride it’s been already. 13 Sentinels mixes up two completely different types of games: JRPGs and real-time strategies.
The game drops you into a collection of high school students navigating their everyday lives. It just so happens these kids are also tasked with saving the world. Through the use of nanotechnology, they control mechs to fight robots intent on ending humanity.
With 13 different characters to control it’s hard to keep track of the story. It is very disjointed as you change characters often and further events are locked behind progressing in other areas.
Cohh was initially not hooked on the game until the mechs were introduced, which brought the real-time strategy aspect into the game. However, there is some fanservice as he called it during these segments. All but one of the characters controlling the mechs are nude. You don’t see anything, but it’s very suggestive.
The story is long, convoluted and it is easy to fall behind. To get caught up before Cohh returns to the game, make your way to
YouTube.
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
Viking Assassins
Thanks to Ubisoft providing a key, Cohh spent the weekend in the latest iteration from the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
In this version you control Eivor, one of two siblings trying to survive in Viking society. Taking place in 873 AD, Norway is overcrowded and people are looking for a new place to call home. You are dropped in to make a name for yourself and to help your clan. As Cohh began this challenge he created a new personal best: dying twice at once.
Valhalla does take time to get going as early on fights seem very simple and dull. As you progress the story you can find various books or artifacts which can enhance your abilities. You slowly start to feel like a Viking Assassin.
While Cohh did spend the weekend diving into this world he was already making plans for the upcoming week. He is enjoying his Nordic adventures but decided to put the game on a brief hold. It may reappear in split streams, or held for a later return. One thing is certain, Cohh is not giving up on the story as he wants to see what the game is about.
With a Nov. 10 launch, many people are unsure if they want to get this game. There’s no better way to check it out than to watch your favorite streamer play it.
YouTube has his early look at AC:V and we’re sure to see it back on the stream soon.
Tooth Surgery
Losing Wisdom
There were some worries and concerns as we neared the end of the week. This was caused by Cohh breaking a tooth while eating dinner. This unfortunate event led to him having all four of his wisdom teeth removed at once.
Yikes.
He’s a trooper and was streaming again 24 hours after the surgery. Initial streams were shorter but he was back to business soon. There are occasional winces of pain that pop up from time to time.
He spent a few minutes on Saturday going over what happened, which you can find
here.
