still d&d dark alliance because I have been playing a few mins at a time. I really need to play the witcher but it can lock you into getting to a point that is not clear where it is or waste time redoing.
Mine is Cosmic Fantasy 2, for the TurboGrafx-16 CD System, was a game that I was given when I was not even a teenager yet, and I beat that without any guides, without any walkthroughs, without any support, and nobody helped me.
I believe it was the first game that I beat on my own.
I tried replaying it for nostalgia’s sake, and the interface is so clunky and bad.
It uses a static card system for the enemies, nobody moves, the pacing is very slow, battles are frequent and pretty grueling, but I still remember the music, and I remember that it was the first game I ever played that had full motion video in it, even though it was anime full motion video, and the story was actually fantastic.
I honestly wish they would reboot this game or remake this game. There’s like an entire Cosmic Fantasy series of role-playing games that were huge, like in the 90s, I guess, early 2000s, something, and they just freaking disappeared. And in English translation, we only got Cosmic Fantasy 2.
There’s a lot of good story to mine, and the best part is it’s a crossover where, like, some worlds have magic and some worlds have technology and people go back and forth between them and there’s all sorts of different interesting creatures and stories that each world is experiencing.
There’s a number of the games that notably effected me after completion. Star Fox (SNES), Halo: Combat Evolved, Morrowind, KOTOR 1&2, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Dead Space, Hotline Miami, Undertale.
Its one of the other things i use to relax after Silk Song and i find it really interesting. Its not a clone of mario kart in that each car legit feels like it drives differently. And you have to play smart but can also play wildly because of the insane items and shortcuts.
I think it reminds me of Gran Turismo but with mario kart items. And Sonic music. I dont know if i just wanted something different and i am giving it more credit.
Played it as I was coming into adult life. This was my first roguelite. It sounds dumb…but it really stuck with me as a life lesson:
You can try your best and make sacrifices, and still end up unlucky with poor rewards. You get the opportunities you get, but even in this seeming randomness, you make choices to make the most of them. Training and skill makes up for some of the poor opportunities. Life is a roguelite.
Now I’ve got BoI on my Retroid Pocket 5 now. Still playing it.
I have been procrastinating and exploring every nook and cranny of that world. Its amazing how much it feels real and lived in. Like they have the whole thing figured out down to why some screws are more rusted than others.
I am so reluctant to start act 3 cause i already struggled with the first funeral. Its gonna break me i just know it.
Wow, congrats on beating Silksong! I’ve been watching my partner play and am afraid of the bosses, not sure how far I’ll get in it.
I’m slowly working through Baby Steps and having a blast with every tumble. It’s hard at first but after a handful of hours I’ve got a rhythm to scramble up most inclines. I find the navigation fun in the same way I like Snowrunner’s exploration: difficult terrain that can be learned and quickly traversed.
I’m also finishing Sniper Elite V2 because I never completed it and I didn’t want to buy the new Resistance game.
I actually didn’t know that until a few days ago, I’m playing the original! They definitely went the right route in the newer games with the sandbox level design, but I’m still having fun with the linear levels
Any game like vampire survivors.
Passive bullet hells.
Literally people say its the thing they play when they dont have the energy for something else the way that people use fast food to replace cooking.
Easy to spin up and there are so many knockoffs that are “fine” but barely different.
It’s easy and pretty much automatic but filled with dopamine giving stimuli even if it wears off really fast. It makes it about as addictive as fast food too.
Finished Enotria: The Last Song and even did a quick NG+ run to get the secret ending and its achievement. Not going to bother with 100%-ing it, however. I really enjoyed my time with it overall. For a somewhat janky AA Soulslike it’s got a lot of charm and the Commedia Dell’Arte framing is great. Beautiful environments and some well designed levels, enough fun to be had with the skill tree, loadout switching, active abilities and elemental/status system. Not too hard (which is fine by me at this stage of my life) and short enough to not overstay its welcome. If you’re a Soulslike fan and can stomach AA games it’ll do the job if you’re done with the usual suspects. I still wouldn’t pay full price for it, but as part of the current €17 Humble Bundle it feels like good value and if you’re not interested in the other games in there then keep it in mind for a future deep sale.
Next I’m not sure. I started playing GRIME that I’ve had my eye on for a while and snagged recently when it was on an all-time low sale, but even though I can tell it’s really good it’s not grabbed me yet. Spooktober made me pirate Cronos: The New Dawn to try it and see if I like it, otherwise I have an impending Alan Wake 2 revisit planned. I still haven’t played the DLCs but I want to replay the Final Draft again first in preparation.
