I think I am set for a while now. So excited...now what do I play first...

Review in ONM gives it 80%:

"Some slightly dodgy mechanics aside, this is a truly excellent dungeon crawler"

Good stuff:

+Good variety
+Great length
+Fun combat
+Some interesting ideas, like the online
+Truly engrossing to explore
+Great use of StreetPass/Spotpass
+Good 3D effects
+Amazing VA

The bad:

-Some iffy animations
-Not a fair loot system
-Clunky menus (though are rarely needed)
-Generally poor graphics
-World and quests sometimes lack flair
-Ropey framerate

I can expand if you'd like, but overall it's rather positive.

Well, Chandler, you can't go wrong with any of those... but play HoR first, since the internet is already filled with GR reviews already and your impressions on the game would be appreciated!

heres a review from an important Spanish website

I just finished the "tutorial" (first dungeon) and arrived in a city which seens to be my quest hub for now. So far I really like the game, definitely something I can waste a lot of time with^^. The 3D effect in the intro sequence is really clean, similar to the pictures in Super Mario 3D Land. And its cool that your character is displayed in it, with your chosen hairstyle, skin color and all. There are some noticable framerate drops and some really ugly textures but I don't mind them that much as long as the game plays well. And I really think it does. Started an Alchitect and am just lvl 2 right now, so there's not a lot of tactic going on, just mash the attack button and evade stuff.

I think, if you like games like Torchlight or Diablo you really can't go wrong with this one, except you really need 60 fps all the time and resident evil revelations like graphics.

Another cool feature I discovered: When you play with a friend you can unlock certain perks, which are then activated everytime you play with this person.

Sounds good! I look forward to hearing more!

I am not so sure that Gravity Rush is actually better. I started with GR and right at the beginning it already pissed me off a little. I'll go ahead and spoil the tutorial now, which has not much to do with the story but which left me a little confused. So I rescue this guys kid (he literally begged me to save him) and fail to save his house despite me trying and the dude and his kid go "Fuck off, stupid shifter, you destroyed our home! We hate you!" This reaction was so unnatural that it instantly turned me off of this game a little. But since my brother occupies HoR and the 3DS right now I'll play some more GR now....but I hope it gets better.

OK, bought the game. I'm now off into a weekend without Internet. I will tell you my impressions after that, I will have made some progress by the time I think.

Such a dissapointment that NSMB2 won't have online co-op.

But none the less, i personally didn't like Revelations online, so id hope whatever next Nintendo game turns up with online will be great.

Yes, i just thought id take the opportunity to vent about general online 3DS gaming.

Point is that i hope HOR gets some kind of decent community, and the weekly quest updates continue.
