Got back into Stardew Valley, this time with ~300 mods and a bunch of expansions and no visible end to the timesink yet.
Hades II & Hades
Yeah!
New favorite characters, Scylla and the sirens.
That was a fun game. I really enjoyed that one.
Luigi’s Mansion on original GameCube hardware. Well, it’s pretty modified - BT controller board, memcard pro, EON MKII for digital video output, picoboot to load from sd, but the game processing HW is original lol.
Also, Rise of the Tomb Raider was easily the best one of those. I loved that game.
Supposed to do the end game content for Expedition 33 but I’ll probably just be doing rounds of Megabonk.
Got into Expedition 33 this week. Just got to the point where the huge stuffed puppet learned to swim. Gotta say, I don’t get the hype.
I think they tried to souls-likify a JRPG. But it just feels like combat is one QTE challenge after the other. No other mechanic really matters, at least on normal mode. Also it feels like the main story, which seems fresh and intriguing, barely gets glanced at, while interpersonal relationships get a korean drama level exposition.
I’ll tag along for a little while longer because the voice acting is stellar. The rest is meh IMHO
I almost checked out around then too, it gets a lot better in the respects you criticised as well as environment design.
I’d recommend hard mode for combat once your characters feel ready to advance. It isn’t that much harder, and at least the last chunk of the game is way too easy without it.
Ghost of Yotei
It’s so good. I think it might be the most visually stunning game I’ve ever played.
The first one was good, but it didn’t hold my attention long enough. I can’t stop playing this one.
SuckerPunch def took this franchise to the next level with Yotei. I sometimes stop and look at the surrounding views after doing a shrine.
Killing bosses are so satisfying since the story is so good.
Most of the game is relatively easy except that boss on Mount Yotei. The struggles with him.
I’m playing on hard difficulty, and I struggled a little at the most recent boss (the Oni). Finally beat him though.
Combat feels a little more Sekiro-esque than the first one. At least on the harder difficulties.
I started out, at first, with the one hit kill difficulty, but that was too much lol
I am also on hard. If you wear the gear that helps with perfect parry, I find that makes things a bit easier.
Maybe I’ll try that… However, Sekiro is my favorite game of all time, so maybe I’m a bit of a masochist
So what helped me was not using the blue/red light to time your parry. Focus on the weapons tip.
Also hold block and quickly releasing and repressing the block to engage the parry.
Only the spookiest games
I started Pacific Drive today. Does that count?
Man, I wanted to like that game so bad… I just don’t think it’s for me
Totally fair. I saved it for this time of year. Hoping it’s my jam.
Playing some Curiosity, going to finish it this weekend hopefully
Titanfall 2. But I heard it’s a short campaign.
But a fucking amazing one
Playing through the Witcher 3. Currently doing Hearts of Stone at the moment. Its excellent. Also some War Thunder and Overwatch 2
Hearts of stone is so good. I’m gonna dive into the Witcher 2 soon, first play through!

Those adventure games are fun. Scratches an itch every once and while.
Attempting wrath of the righteous again. Always dip out at act 2 start. Got bubble buffs working on Linux. Need something all consuming. Hoping it’s the right time.
That one is so much more fun once your buffs last all day.
I started a new run of Baldur’s Gate II to see if I can actually be good at it this time.
Of more recent releases, I’ve also been going through Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector and The Alters, both being very good resource management games in space.
I got a message Necesse got its 1.0 release. I played it about a year ago and it was rough around the edges. So I’m giving it another go this weekend.
I gave it a run on the ROG ally yesterday. The right trigger is your main button to chop, combat, etc. The only way it worked was to spam the button which was not great. I did some research and seems that with some settings this can be fixed. None the less the game does look cool. Indies are where it’s at!
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2! First Tony Hawk game but I’m having fun with it
I forgot to look those up! Only skating game I have that works is Skate Bird.
