I like the feeling of getting stronger and coming back to previously inaccessible places. Pretty much only play games on Steam.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone mention Hollow Knight yet. I won’t claim it on my list since I haven’t finished it yet, but it seems to be popular.
I think so in theory. I acquired it, but haven’t found anyone using lightning yet. LB to parry/absorb, RB to unleash it?
Have not made it past Genichiro phase 1 yet so I went elsewhere looking for powerups. I beat Juzou first try, but the long arm centipede man took hours, a lot like every other boss and mini boss lol.
Started my first playthrough of Sekiro and it’s really hard. I’m slowly embracing the playstyle, but I have so many habits to break from the other Souls games. I like it, but I don’t think I’ll be up for NG+ if I ever finish the NG run.
Also started playing Sable and I really like it so far. It kind of feels like an open world Zelda type of game without combat. It’s quite relaxing, and the art style is absolutely beautiful.
There was another game that came out the same year (2017) called A Hat in Time. I recommend checking that out if you’re even lukewarm on 3D platformers.
There were some good times in it for sure. If I was a kid and experienced it like SM64 and Banjo Kazooie I’m sure I’d rate it higher than 6/10 and have less complaints. Overall it just feels tedious in comparison to those classics despite having a really cool moveset. Like I mentioned, I’d rather they made a new game than remake this, I’ll still play new games they put out.
I appreciate that they wanted to make it better, but honestly I don’t think most of the enhancements are what was “wrong” with the game (a map is very welcome, though). And they added another currency?
I wanted to like the original more than I did, and I’m ok with it staying in my memory as a 6/10. Probably won’t buy the full version, but might try the demo just to see. Would have rather seen a new game from them instead.
Remnant 2. I have no idea what’s going on, but I’m having a good time. The systems are pretty complex and unexplained so I just equip things that seem cool. So far so good! Thanks to other players joining my game I’ve been able to solve the puzzles, which honestly I would have had to lookup solutions for if I were only playing solo.
I have faith that, with this and Duskbloods, they’re taking online play more seriously. But still I’m with you in waiting for reviews to confirm that’s the case before considering buying it. Network test existing doesn’t tell us anything about how the final product performs until the final product is released.
