It’s a niche masterpiece, but my 600 hours of play time agrees I am in that niche

The parry system in this game rules. I think we got both a spiritual Bloodborne and Sekiro sequel in one game.

Sonic mania is the only really good one since Sega made consoles.

And go figure, it wasn’t made by Sonic team

chronicledmonocle,

Sonic Origins used the same engine and basically was like “people seem to like classic Sonic games. Let’s make Sonic Mania themed in Genesis era games”.

And yet…they STILL fucked it up. Not as badly as they usually do, mind you, but still.

The DS had plenty of fantastic games, but when it comes to a game I feel had the most beautiful example of using the controls in a creative way, I’d say The World Ends With You takes the cake.

I’ve literally never played a game that needed such a high degree of multitasking, not just for mental multitasking, but also hand-eye coordination. Playing that game on Hard mode felt crazy, and I literally never unlocked Master mode. Balancing between the top and bottom screen characters was such a challenge, especially if you’re actually trying to make use of the green puck for more damage. The fact that each partner has their own battle method is fantastic too, as you never get too comfortable with one character until you finish the game.

Add in fantastic art design, catchy soundtrack, funny & memorable main cast, and you get absolute peak. I can’t believe Square let that game rot for more than a decade. The Neo TWEWY sequel was pretty good too, but nothing will literally ever compare to the original’s controls. It’s just so addicting man.

Supergiant games’ holy trinity: Bastion, Transistor and Pyre.

Also, the only Borderland games 1 and 2; don’t believe the lies there are no more true Borderlands games and no there most certainly is no movie.

There’s also one other, but you’ll need a crowbar or a gravity gun in hand for me to tell you about it.

Bastion and Transistor, sure. Without a doubt, imoactful clever stories that were well delivered.

Pyre always felt like a buggy mess tho. I tried multiple times to get into it but it’s just not on the level of the first two.

Feels odd to include Pyre over Hades.

Krauerking,

You are wrong about borderlands as there is one more and it is pretty muc h perfect.

Tales from the Borderlands.
Shame they never made a sequel for it but the artistry, music and story are all so well crafted. Someone loved Borderlands making that.

It’s VERY clear that the devs ADORE Bloodborne specifically. They have literally every mechanic that game has, even how backsteps change your attacks.

It also runs incredibly well considering how visually crisp and clear the game looks.

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

I’ll be honest, I couldn’t get into it much myself for some reason but I know that it’s pretty well regarded anyway. Keep us updated, if you’d like.

Blisterexe,

Thank you! I’ll probably do a real review once I finish the game.

solsangraal, do games w Screenshot and review-ish rambling about my current game! Lies of P

this game should have gotten more hype than it did

Oh, for sure! I couldn’t afford it this time around, and my son has been bugging me about it cause he likes playing Minecraft Legends online. 😂

any1th3r3,

Great, I’ve sent you a message :)

I played and beat the first game, but couldn’t tell you the story if my life depended on it. I’m surprised it got a sequel, the first game wasn’t universally well met even though I had fun with it.

I was confused because Google said the release was 2023, but I guess it was early access during that time. If the have a demo I’ll check it out!

Missing crossplay really sucks. I theoretically have an enthusiastic squad … too bad one player only has a PlayStation while me and the other person have PCs.

chloyster,

Yep it’s really whack. Sucks too because I have 2 distinct squads. A crew from college and a crew from high school. One on PlayStation and one on PC… Like I could buy it on both I suppose but that just sucks lol

Megaman_EXE,

That seems like a massive oversight. That’s so weird. I get it’s probably way easier to implement it the way they did. But because you likely will wana group with friends, it really limits people

Rai, do games w Day 315 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

I was gonna play some Minecraft this weekend, it’s been YEARS! I went to log into my Mojang account, and oops, Microsoft bought Minecraft forever ago.

I go to their web site to see how to download Java edition.

“Log in with your Microsoft account!”

I don’t have, and am not going to make one of those.

“Click here to see how to log in with your Mojang account!”

you can’t, you have to re-buy the game again scrub

Alpha player BTW

I feel your pain lol. I had an old account that was Mojang that was going to give to my siblings last month so they could play modded with me (they have been begging for ages ever since I bought them a Steam Deck for Christmas) and I find out the account is just gone because I didn’t transfer it. I’m pissed about it because that’s 20$ gone.

Rai,

Really crappy support from Microsoft (as always) D:

theangriestbird, do gaming w Elden Ring Nightreign Review Thread

ahhhh you beat me to it. i was tryna line it up with the release day! lol

Well…i wish i had more to say about the game itself aside from my preview thoughts. I love the Souls games but have not gotten around to Elden Ring specifically. Seems like they nailed the “ER but more multiplayer” feel that they were going for, and I think that’s sick as hell.

chloyster,

Yeah I’m lucky enough that I have a squad that’s all very into elden ring on the same system to play with. But if you don’t have that it sounds like a pretty miserable time. Really hope they add cross play and balance single player more

theangriestbird,

They absolutely need to! Bonkers to launch a multiplayer-focused game without crossplay in 2025
