Playing the walking dead games made me finally realize what the zombie genre is really all about. Zombie apocalypses are really a metaphor for the experience of life, In the end death takes everyone, in a zombie apocalypse it’s just accelerated. But death is a reality we all face, there’s no escaping it, there’s no running from it, there’s no outsmarting it; eventually you slip up or maybe you’re careful and responsible the whole way through, it actually doesn’t matter, you’ll still die in the end. What does matter are the choices you make along the way, the people’s lives that you touch, the world you can either leave better than you found it, or worse.
I have the old3DS and I have so many games I like but the ergonomics are horrible for me. Those grips only seem to exist for the XL. Maybe I’m missing something but I can’t play for more than 5 minutes on it.
Had it for a few years now, still playing it, on the bus and such. Including DS games, and maybe even some of GBA library, I’m not even halfway through my backlog for it. The favourites would be all the main Etrian Odyssey games but there’s so much other good ones. Radiant Historia is budget but has some cool ideas, Fire Emblem (besides Awakening, I actually disliked it more than Birthright, didn’t play Revelation yet), all of the Shin Megami Tensei games… and I’d add Kid Icarus or Mario 3D Land so it’s not just JRPGs.
I think it is a pretty great handheld, but I am more of a DS guy, I keep playing several of its games thanks to Wimmfi, even when the 3DS has retro compatibility I think using a proper DS is way better.
With that said, the 3DS has its own fair share of good games, and it is your console if you like RPGs, I just would want it to have more visual novels.
I acquired my 3DS before the first price drop and unfortunately I never really appreciated it while I had it. It was the first place I played Ocarina of Time, which was a really fantastic experience that I was probably too young to really appreciate at the time. I never got around to playing A Link Between Worlds unfortunately. Beyond that my other favourite was Mario Kart 7. There are a lot of games that I now wish I had picked up but didn’t get a chance to.
The 3DS is also really interesting as it’s currently the last Nintendo handheld that can fit in a pocket. That era of portable consoles has largely passed out of favour (this is why I’ve started collecting PSP Go consoles). A lot of the best 3DS games have been somewhat overshadowed by the Switch now. I feel like its game library may be remembered similarly to the Game Boy Advance, more iterating on older franchises rather than having its own hugely impressive identity.
I started playing this game about a month after my dad died of cancer, I had to just nope out entirely. I could dig my teeth into Stellaris or build a flying guitar in Kerbal space program, but I couldn’t handle To the Moon or Firewatch.
Oh hey, there’s a recommendation, play Firewatch, it’s got some big feelings too.
Can’t recommend that one without also recommending Ico and especially Shadow of the Colossus before it. Shadow of the Colossus may be my favorite gave ever even. It’s so good. I really wish Sony would release all three on PC or something. I still haven’t played The Last Guardian because the last Playstation I owned was a PS3.
