There are a bunch of claims you're making here that are just factually false. For example, units do run, they just don't always do so in the way you'd like.

I honestly don't think you've played enough of the game to write a review. There are numerous systems and mechanics that are in the game that you don't know about.

My suggestion would be to play more, at least 20 hours, and see if you can't figure out some of the stuff you're missing.

This is one of my favourite games on the Switch. The game design is absolutely astounding. If people think it's too difficult, I really think it's because you haven't played enough of it yet/haven't unlocked some of the upgrades. It *is* hard, at first, but there are a lot of hidden mechanics in the game that you'll only find through repeat playthroughs.

And if anyone is reading this and thinking about looking at a walkthrough, pleeeeaaase don't do that. The whole point and fun of the game is figuring out what's going on by yourself and applying that learning to subsequent playthroughs.

As for tips, I think the best thing to remember is that every action you take in the game, or sometimes inaction, besides just running around, has a reaction. So, like, ask yourself, what is happening when I clear trees? When I upgrade this statue, what is going on? There are quite a few mechanics that are pretty well hidden that will help you a lot.

For example, if I rush, depending on which island I'm on, I can beat that island before the fall. It's possible, and the point of the game is that it's not super easy to figure out.

I've had the same experience with Diablo 3 as a few people here: the grind is very real. I got to a place with my wizard where I could clear Inferno 3 or 4, and then I dropped off for a few weeks and realized a whole bunch of changes happened that would require me to fix my build, and I just didn't have the patience to play the game to find the items I needed AND read about what items were going to work for me. It was just too much. So while I appreciate that I can listen to podcasts while playing D3, it's definitely not low commitment.

I got to 7-1 and basically didnt know what was happening. So many enemies, and it felt like they just kept respawning and I couldnt cut their numbers. Very overwhelming, haha.

How to Train a Dragon 2

The movie is quite a lot worse than the first one, despite the fact that it looks a lot better (I watched the two films back to back). The first movie promotes understanding, non-violence and diplomacy. Given the amount of wars waging around the world right now, I thought that that message, even if it was a bit crudely done in the film, was really important. And, I thought watching the main character and his dragon form a relationship was really fun.

The second film deviates from this message drastically, and, for reasons I don't completely understand, changes the message from one where non-violence is not only an end in itself, but is also effective, to one where violence is the only answer (because some megalomaniacs are insane and can't be reasoned with). And, additionally, unlike movies like the Hunger Games, or even Harry Potter, the horrors of warfare are not really present at all in the film. Like many other movies where horrific violence occurs, most of it is whitewashed, and everyone is super happy to win at the end, despite the tremendous losses they suffered.

The animation in the second film is still top notch (it looks quite a bit better than Inside Out, for example) and the characters are mostly interesting (though there are a lot of stereotypes that it would have been better they didn't use). And Toothless, the main dragon, is as cute as ever.

3/5

Depending on your budget, the website theskint.com has a lot of great, affordable shit to do. For music, check out brooklynvegan. But the best thing would be to hook up with some folks in the city. There are so many cool neighbourhoods and things to do outside of Manhattan.
