Finished Ori and the Blind Forest. It’s a really good game, very polished, visuals and sound are great, but some part of design feels a bit dated, or well they require very twitchy reflexes. Other than that though, loved the game. Highly recommended for any metroidvania fans.
Still playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance, it has finally started to get good. Well, I was enjoying it since the start but I am role-playing a non-thief player, which kind of limited the starting money and equipment, limiting the side content you can do in early game. But after some time doing what feels like nothing, I have started to get better a bit, and things have started to become easy. Got a bit of that OP feeling I like in these RPGs, though I am sure I’ll very soon face something that will easily destroy me again.
Started Azure Striker Gunvolt. It has been on my wishlist for too long. Playing the first one right now (comes in a pack which has first 2 games), and I am enjoying it. The game isn’t much difficult but you can enable challenges trying to reduce your time taken and clearing staging without taking damage.
What about all of you, what have you been playing?
Finished Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown!
Quite impressed with this one, a really nice metroidvania from Ubisoft. The platforming controls are superb, the abilites you unlock make it even more fun over time, and the combat is solid.
Definitely not a game for casual players (unless you don’t mind turning on assists), there’s some tricky plataforming sections and nasty difficulty spikes in some bosses, but the main complaint I have about the game is the limited amount of fast travel spots, the map is HUGE and backtracking can be a pain in the ass. Other than that and a few minor bugs I don’t have many bad things to say about this one, definitely play it if you like the genre.
Minor bonus for Switch players: Looks like this version is the only one that does not require an Ubisoft account, it’s going to ask for it when you open the game but you can just press a button to skip.
Finished Streets of Rage 4!
There’s been more opportunities for coop play with friends recently, so I decided to pick this one. However, I could not wait and already did a quick single-player run through story mode using Blaze.
Really fun old-school beat’em up, I recommend it for fans of the genre.
Playing LUNARiA -Virtualized Moonchild-!
Was too focused on other games this week, just resumed it today, so no significant progress.
Streets of Rage 4 is so good for both singleplayer and co-op mode! Unlocking different characters and survival mode add a lot of replayability. It’s so much fun!
