So happy to hear this! I bought it on release and finished it yesterday. Then I went back and bought the soundtrack.

Loved the main characters, and loved that it knew exactly how long it needed to be without making it a grindfest. Reminds me very much of my time with Chrono Trigger.

I’ve been watching some streams of it and Chrono Trigger was absolutely what came to mind for me. The art is gorgeous and the music is awesome too. Game’s got good vibes for sure.

I’m playing through it, and my house mate described it as a love letter to Chrono Trigger.

Also it’s gorgeous. Play it just for the eye candy if nothing else.

How long did it take you?

sigmaklimgrindset, rok temu

I did a semi-completionist run (without a guide) and it took me about 38h start to finish! I played it on my school/work commutes and sank some evenings into it, the game is pretty generous with save points.

If you have a Switch or a Steam deck, I would highly recommend getting it on there, the game really lends itself to portability and has natural stop points that reminds me of how DS/3DS games were structured back in the day

I finished it yesterday as well! Lots of things I loved about this. For me, third act kind of fell on its face a little bit, but that wasn't enough to put me off, I still really enjoyed it.

Yeah I kind of agree with you there, the villain’s motivations were pretty weak imo. But the rest of the game was so charming that I really didn’t mind that much. It was the perfect breather to play in between Baldur’s Gate and Starfield for me.

I definitely have some nostalgia bias, don’t get me wrong, people that didn’t live through the Gameboy/DS/PSP era of RPGs might not be as forgiving. But it really made me miss the days of sitting on the train or the bus playing my DS on the way to school haha. Mobile gaming just doesn’t have the same feeling for me.

Yeah, I got the sense they had to cut some of the story out late in development to make a deadline or something. I dunno.

But it's hard to get very specific what I mean without giving away a boatload of spoilers.

Game looks really good. I was hyped to play Super Mario RPG with my kids but might put that off to play this instead.

It takes a lot of inspiration from Super Mario RPG, especially in the battle system. Using a lot of the abilities just feels so satisfying.

It’s “free” on ps plus at the highest tier. That likely helped

Itsamelemmy, rok temu

Mid tier. I only have extra and got it.

Wouldn’t that hurt instead of help? Those players usually will not buy the game and won’t be counted as sales.

You gotta love seeing indie studios doing good.

The game is available on both Game Pass and PS Plus and still manages to reach those numbers. That’s impressive.

I will pick it up eventually, but I’ve got too many games to play already!

I’m about 8 hours into this game and it’s so refreshing.

Good, this game is great and Sabotage did an amazing job! They deserve the success, and I’m happy that so many people are playing it.

They definitely deserve it. The game is awesome.

Starts out a little slow for my modern tastes, but I’ve been enjoying the game. Glad I picked it up. But I previously picked up The Messenger so I planned to pick up their next game for sure.

Started Starfield of course and have been really enjoying it. I love the RPG elements already and it’s been a long time since I really catered a character to my liking rather than just taking the default. It’s giving me the same awe I had when I first played Mass Effect over 15 years ago (though I’m not sure if anything can beat that experience especially when you go to the Citadel). Action is fun and I like the three different POVs you can pick. Only complaint is the HDR seems a bit off where things look a bit greyish especially in the opening period.

Outside of Starfield, I’ve been playing Limbo again seeing it on GamePass. Never finished it when I was playing it on Android so finally going to give a chance to it now.

I have no access to Starfield (I only have ps5 and steamdeck) so I’m back to No Man’s Sky once again!
This game just gets better for free and I can honestly play it every weekend. It’s a masterpiece in my opinion and while I’m sad I don’t have access to Starfield I’m in no rush for another space adventure just yet.

random_character_a, rok temu

I thought Starfield played “fine” on steamdeck.

drmoose, rok temu

I’ve heard it’s 30fps with dips in bigger areas but tbh I want to enjoy it on a big screen as the environments look absolutely beautiful. I might get a PC at some point or an xbox so I’d rather wait.

Elden Ring, Frost Punk, Brotato and still after 2000 hours Deep Rock Galactic.

Dusk, not sure if anyone here knows about it though. Pretty good game.

Kolanaki, rok temu

The shooter? I know of it, I’ve seen Civvie11’s videos on it; haven’t tried it myself yet. In the same vein, I have played Cultic, which is very similar and also a pretty good game (underselling it).

I plan on complaining about the time my brother stole my DC, then pawned it to get cigarettes.

Brutal. Not sure how that compares to me being mad at my bro for deleting my Legend of Zelda save.

Or how that compares to my dad selling my atari 2600 to make rent. I mean I get it, but I’d been looking for it for months, and when I asked him he’d sold it two days before.

Or how that compares to my mom’s frustration when she got stuck on a really hard Donkey Kong Country level on the family switch’s retro emulator app and died a lot. (She’s really scary when angry, especially if it’s from playing difficult games)

You haven’t lost anything. Mine was overheating when I played for more than 4 hours. We have emulators like Redream now.
