Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II

Play it on: Switch, Mobile platforms, Windows (Steam Deck: YMMV)
Buy it from: Best Buy | Humble Bundle
Current goal: Test drive the game on a Pixel tablet

This weekend, after a really shitty few weeks, my little three-piece family is off to the seaside. We booked it yesterday, a weird-looking shed thing with two bedrooms, ten minutes from the beach, but isolated and in the woods. Perfect. The beach has tons of fossils to find, we’re going to snorkel, it’s going to be just fine.

There’s also apparently no phone signal and terrible, intermittent wifi, so I will probably die.

My plan is to depend on my Pixel Tablet, and play games it can cope with. And my aim is to get some time with Knights of the Old Republic 2, a game I haven’t played since it first released, in its most broken, buggy form. I am interested to see if it’s a feasible game to play on a touchscreen, but will be packing an Xbox controller in case. Because I’m broken. I’m going to the woods and the coast, and I could be reading books or staring wistfully into the horizon, but NO, SCREENS, NEED SCREENS. — John Walker
