Just finished Steamworld Dig 2 for the second time, 100%ing it. Love that game. Started Bloodstained. Its alright, but it gets a little grindy near the mid to late game. I installed a mod that increases drop chances by 10% additive. Makes it less grindy, so I’m enjoying that. Also playing bloons TD 6. For funsies.
SWD2 is so fun, just a nice, breezy lil metroidvania. Does the cool metroidvania thing where the endgame mobility upgrades make you feel like a ninja grappling all over the place.
I only recently played the first game an absolutely loved it. I didn’t realize the second was so close to coming out. Can’t wait. I know review scores tend to be inflated messes but this overwhelming positivity has me even more hyped.
yeah the director’s cut seems to make the progression much smoother. I am just like maybe 1/3 into it, maxed out connections so far each for new stations I get to. (5 stars on my leg so far.)
I do understand the need for those forced encounters, now I got gears to handle I need to remember to turn off the slow mo when encounter them. XD
I have been losing interest in Blue Prince. (This is spoiler free.) Many of the late game puzzles are beginning to feel grindy. I need to get specific rooms but it’s random chance if I do, and then when I get them it’s not guaranteed I’ll even know how to solve what’s going on. It’s been very enjoyable up until now but it’s lost some appeal in the end.
I have been playing a little Animal Crossing because my spouse got back into it. I have been playing a little Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Mario + Rabbids because I’ve been using my switch more.
I’m right there with ya on Blue Prince. The late game seems more like tricks than actual puzzles. That being said, it also makes it so I feel less bad about looking things up.
There was one puzzle I looked up the answer to and I was furious.
Office safe spoilerYou’re supposed to count the counts but there are four fucking statues?? Not three?? So why the fuck is the code 0303 and not 0304??
ResponseAhhhhhhh, okay. I retract my comment then, but that’s still stupid to me. I was missing a few letters and thought it said something like “GAINS”. I guess I got a few wrong on that row.
Oh, don’t retract it. It is a bad way to indicate the solution since it requires the Foyer and to have finished the grid message accurately. IMO anything that can be foiled by RNG is a bad way to do it.
I’ve had similar but they were all Raising Canes menu items with matching picture. Canes Tenders, Canes Crinkle Fries, Canes Toast, Canes Sauce, Canes Coleslaw.
I am amazed at how well this game is reviewing. It felt like half the critics were dunking on Death Stranding 1 upon release, and then there was this slow reappraisal where a bunch of people changed their tune over the course of the past 5 years. Now DS2 (Seek King Vendrick?) comes out, and with just a little refinement, the critics are all singing its praises. Would the review scores be as high if the general public had not come around on DS1?
Enjoying KOTOR2 at the moment. A More Civilized Age (AKA my favorite podcast ever) is doing a playalong of the game right now, so that has been motivating me through all the clunky combat scenarios. I’m really loving the juicy dialogue and top-tier voice acting. The Exile is so much more interesting than any other protagonist i’ve ever seen in a BioWare game - I feel like I really have a lot of room to interpret what kind of grey Jedi i want to be. I am shocked that Obsidian (and notorious POS Chris Avellone) pumped out this much amazing writing in 10 months.
I never finished all the time trials in Mario Kart 8, and I don’t have the budget to grab a Switch 2, so i’ve been plugging away at those trials to satiate my hunger for MKWorld.
Only just started Pentiment. And by that I mean I got through the background selection, and I’m now trying to decide if I’m happy with my choices or want to go with something else. The game looks really good so far, I’ve heard good things and I’m excited to see how it plays out.
