rinks wrote:Oh yes. Excellent that SteamWorld Heist II will be in GP. And I liked the look of the kitty game in the Nintendo presentation, but not enough to buy it, so this is purrfect.

rinks wrote:Minor, non-spoilery tip for Botany Manor: if you're the type to clear up any stray achievements after finishing a game (as I am), every time you successfully grow a plant, move it to the small room just inside the main manor doorway. (There are just the right number of spots for each of the different plants.) Totally non-essential, but it'll save you having to remember where they all are at the end for one of the achievements.
