Finished Spider-man 2, completed everything to 100% and got the Platinum. Now playing through main story again in NG+ for a single DLC trophy. Should be done with in a day or so. Haven’t decided what to play on PS next, will probably just play some WWE 2K24 as a secondary game or maybe some other small game from my backlog.
Will start focusing on Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout from this weekend. Even with that, it’s a pretty long game, so will probably take a while to complete.
After some deliberation I have officially dropped Trails in the Sky: SC, I was enjoying the game (other than when I got stuck at the boss), but remake is launching next year, and I won’t be done with the full series before that, so will play that when it launches.
I started Pillars of Eternity on PC, had it in my backlog for a looong time, tried playing on my old PC once but it couldn’t run it properly, so finally getting around to playing it. Not going to focus on it, will just play it a bit here and there.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
Finished Ys X: Nordics!
Not as good as Ys 8, but a massive improvement over Ys 9. Karja is a fantastic character, probably my favorite Ys heroine alongside Dana, and her sibling-like relationship with Adol was great. I know the odds are low but I’m really hoping we’ll have her show up again in a future entry.
The new engine was a huge improvement for Switch players, unlike the previous game there was no point in this one where I considered performance a problem. But I do have a lot of criticism for the “ocean exploration” part of the game - not only there’s annoying gameplay issues with the speed and clunkiness of the boat, but it also looks very dated visually.
But overall this was a great game that I can definitely recommend despite some things that could have used a bit more polish.
Oh, and since @[email protected] asked about it: I got the “all sidequests” achivement by simply exploring the whole map and paying attention to the quest markers.
Playing If My Heart Had Wings!
Picked up this VN from my backlog as my next main game. It’s a slice-of-life story about a group of friends who decide to revive their school’s “Soaring Club” and try to build a glider and go flying.
Having a main heroine in a wheelchair is interesting, and I really like how the MC is trying to break some of the preconceptions other cast members have about her disability. Another small detail I like is the appearance of the city, a nice mix of old-school buildings like the dorm the MC lives with more modern, maybe even slightly futuristic buildings in the downtown parts.
Overall this was a good start and I’m interested in seeing where this one goes.
Playing Qualia: The Path of Promise!
I had this one in my wishlist for a while, but I was unsure if I wanted to pick it up or not. I’m a massive sci-fi fun and can enjoy almost anything with these themes, but most images you’ll find for this game is of a big-boobs maid android, which made me suspect the sci-fi parts would be just a thin background. But in the end a sale combined with some small but promising spoilers I read convinced me to give it a shot.
I don’t usually play two VNs in parallel, but this one is supposed to be a fairly short kinetic VN so I can probably make it work.
Playing Vampire Survivors!
Still playing this as a side-game, and still unlocking more weapons/stages/characters.
Thanks for the info about the quests. And good luck with Qualia, hope it is better than how it looks.
