![]() ![]() XCOM (originally called X-COM) is a science fiction video game franchise featuring an elite international organization tasked with countering alien invasions of Earth. QUByte Interactive provided us with a Mini Words Collection Switch code for review purposes.MS-DOS, Amiga, Amiga CD32, PlayStation, Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, OS X, iOS, Android, Linux, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch If, however, you’re a fan of word puzzles and you want anything that’ll challenge you in the least, then keep looking, because you’re not going to find that here. If you just want to learn to spell, I guess, that makes Mini Words Collection kind of an attractive proposition. ![]() While it’s kind of interesting to see how different words get translated, the game loses its allure pretty quickly once you see that you’re really just doing the same thing over and over again – much like you’re doing in the other two games. I should also note that the collection includes one other game, Polyglot, which varies from the other two only in that it asks you to translate words in other languages into English. But even then, it’s worth noting that you won’t find out how to use the words you’ve learned – there’s no conjugating verbs or anything. And if you’re just learning English, Mini Words Collection could be a good way to learn some of the more basic words. There’s nothing wrong with gamifying linguistic learning – as someone who just reached 900 days in my Duolingo French, I’m certainly in no position to bash it. If you check out its eShop page, you’ll find that it proudly proclaims that one of the games included, Pathfinders, is “(g)reat for the little ones learning English”, while Mini Words itself boasts that it includes enough words to cover “90% of conversations in English.” Mind you, I get the sense that Mini Words Collection isn’t really made for people who already speak English. With Mini Words Collection, the most I can muster up is indifference. Even when don’t love them, I still get some enjoyment out of them. I mean, I know that’s how a lot of people find them, but I’m crazy about word games. Mini Words Collection does something that I thought was impossible: it makes word games boring. ![]()
