Last game I finished was Veilguard. Pretty close to EoY. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, and the difficulty falls off a cliff as a mage when you get life steal, but it wasn’t bad. The romance with Neve was entirely too… unromantic, and PG-13 though. Very disappointing. No intimacy.
Then I started CrossCode and it’s been good. Feels like a mix of old snes games (Zelda, lufia2) and MMO, without the annoying parts like other players. The puzzles also aren’t very hand holdy, which is nice. I feel like a lot of games are too aggressive with their “HEY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SLIDE THAT BRICK. HEY I BET FIRE MELTS ICE.”
Finished Metaphor: Refantazio right before the end of the year. Fantastic game which is shockingly relevant to so much going on at the moment around the world.
I brought in the new year playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (which I’ve been obsessed with after finally getting it working on an emulator). I’d been struggling with lunatic mode but I figured out I can just feed Robin because of the XP boost and then use her to carry the team. Changed her to Pegasus Knight and then Dark Flier and now I can just swoop in and one-shot any enemy and she’s over-levelled enough that the enemies won’t prioritize her, and if they do, she dodges everything and has enough HP to survive a bow to the face.
The early levels were very challenging and I had to heavily abuse save states but once I got rolling it’s been a lot smoother. The two cavaliers you start with literally can’t survive a single hit starting out. Since everyone’s so vulnerable, you just have to get one unit good asap to avoid relying on your Jagen.
Brought my steamdeck to our new years party and managed to snag 2 others to play brotato in multiplayer for a bit. I thought it would be more popular to play some games since that is how we all know each other. Otherwise it would have been Factorio: space age.
I just started getting into Deadlock and that was the last game I played in 2024. However, I only played for about an hour. Before that, in the same afternoon I played Foxhole for about four hours and Balatro for two.
Vacation ends the moment I put my phone down and go to sleep… It was a good time.
Edit: Ah I forgot we played Jack Box at the party I went to leading up to midnight. Does that count?
Old enough to be good (no dark patterns or other bullshit), new enough to be playable (the first Commandos is just too pixelated, you need hyper vision to play it).
The other comment said everything that needs to be. Just note that the west bell may look close but the way to it is anything but short compared to the east bell. Keep exploring and be careful of spoilers on internet
Core Keeper, I’ve known about it for a while but never really looked into it, tried it out and it’s much better than I thought it’d be! Basically Terraria with a top down view, really fun.
