I got a bit tired of Trails of Cold Steel 2, so to take a break I tried playing Wolfenstein 2, but it gave me motion sickness (not sure why, as the game is running fine and I tried increasing the fov, which usually works for me). I started looking for other games to play, but I can’t find anything that clicks.
I tried CrossCode again, restarting it after stopping around a year ago at the first real dungeon (the mines).
I really like the art, the characters are charming and the premise is interesting enough.
The puzzles are alright, altho they’ve already started getting repetitive (I’m after the halfway point of the second dungeon). The combat too seems alright, but the enemies are really annoying to fight, as they all force you to wait to hit them, which I find really boring.
Overall I don’t like it and will very likely drop it now. After like 10 hours the actual story hasn’t advanced much and the MMO’s story is not at all interesting. I tried doing a few sidequests as I had heard they were good and I felt I was underleveled, but I ended up being disappointed by what I found. Same for the exploration, mostly because it was unrewarding and the graphics lack depth, making telling apart different heights for puzzles and platforming really hard. I could probably keep ranting, but I’ll end it here.
Almost every game is fun, and there are some that are amazing. Valbrace has fully captured me currently, probably due to my love of the old Wizardry series. Avianos is brilliant too, I’d like to go back for the cherry on that one.
Yes, Wizardry is a very old school rpg. Both that and Valbrace are “explore the dungeon in first person and you’d better be mapping them if you don’t want to be hopelessly lost” style games. I find the mapping to be very satisfying but I’m probably an anomaly because all games have auto maps and objective markers these days.
I really liked Avowed. It’s the first RPG since Skyrim that gave me a similar feeling. I’m almost finished with it, currently 45 hours in, which makes it the first game I’ve played this much in the last five years.
That said, I agree that it’s a bit shallow, and the story isn’t as strong as Skyrim’s. The combat actually reminded me more of Horizon Zero Dawn than Skyrim. It’s not on the level of Baldur’s Gate 3 or Skyrim, but for me, it’s easily deeper than Fallout 4, Fallout 3, or Starfield. The combat is really fun and engaging—I played as a wizard, and it was a blast.
I have to admit, I skipped some dialogues toward the end of the game because a lot of them felt like filler rather than meaningful interactions. Still, I’d rate it an 8/10 and definitely recommend it.
I’d say some clothes had stat effects. Left outfit gives +2 Charisma and -1 Dex. Right outfit gives -3 Charisma but short rests have the effect of long rests
‘that’ is a couple of different things stated in the lyrics.
“But I’ll never do it better than I do it with you So long, so long And I would do anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love but I won’t do that I won’t do that”
Here that is ‘but I’ll never do it better than I do it with you.’
“After a while you’ll forget everything It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night’s fling And you’ll see that it’s time to move on No, I won’t do that I won’t do that”
And here it’s forgetting everything and moving on.
