Aside from logging in just to do dailies in a bunch of goofy phone games and other miscellaneous junk (suffering from Mecha Break's PvP-centric game modes; I'm not a fan of competitive game modes as a rule of thumb, and even its PvE-mode is actually PvPvE), most of my recent playtime has been Final Fantasy V Advance for Four Job Fiesta (did two runs, an Onion and Regular pair, and am planning on starting a Meteor one soon that I want to stream) and Hitman: World of Assassination where I've been slowly working up the 2016 Hitman's campaign: I'm up to Sapienza after doing all the Paris Escalation missions as close to Silent Assassin Suit Only as I could.

After running the current RPG gauntlet (FF7: Rebirth, Metaphor, and Expedition 33) I poked around Steam’s nextfest and summer sale and started exploring some narrative games as a break from massive RPGs. I’m a big fan of slow-burn mysteries, so I played through 1000xRESIST and am now playing through Pentiment. I’ve also got runs of Grandia III, Rogue Galaxy, and Shadow Hearts 3 started on the ol’ emulator box that I’ll occasionally poke at when I’m feeling nostalgic. My Assassin’s Creed: Shadows file currently lies fallow, but I’ll get back to that one day soon. Got a lot on my plate!

currently I'm kinda sorta jumping between a bunch of games, but so far I've mostly been spending my gaming time in the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection (beat Zero 2 again recently!), Horizon Forbidden West, Monster Hunter Wilds and Final Fantasy VII Remake (already beat it on PS5 last year, now I'm kinda replaying it on Steam)

Finished Laika: Aged Through Blood the other day. I wrote some longer thoughts about it in my blog, but in summary: a gorgeously atmospheric and beautifully designed game with a gameplay gimmick that's both incredibly fun and incredibly frustrating, and sometimes it feels like the game was forced to adapt around it rather than other way around. Gorgeous, gorgeous soundtrack as well.

I've just now started Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Never played a Yakuza game before but they've been intriguing me for years because of both the high praise they get from everyone, but also the zaniness that's become so memetic around them. So, of course I decided to pop my Yakuza cherry with the odd JRPG shoot-off rather than any of the proper main games - but I felt like this would be more up my street than a standard open world muck-around action game. Not played it much yet but definitely enjoying the vibe and gameplay so far, like Saints Row meets Persona 5.

Been jumping from game to game since I finished Hydlide 2 (with a guide and map because that game would take me ages with trial and error. Chests, stairs, traps and switches are all invisible to begin with)

So far the plan is to start again and try again to actually beat FFV, but considering my track record I'm not getting my hopes up. Every time I tried I end up stop playing for one reason or another.

Oh it’s such a good game. Everyone had doubts about the shift to turn-based when it was announced but it’s genuinely one of the most fun turn-based systems out there an even turns up the wackiness.

I picked up Project Silverfish recently, which is a low-poly, furry STALKER type shooter. Haven't put a lot of time into it but the mood it creates even with just very blocky art is incredible.

i recently came across an old reddit post about a fan translation of the third digimon ds game, digimon story lost evolution!



i played the first two a ton when i was younger and was really excited to hear that there was a whole other game i just never got to try. booted it up on my 2DS and it SLAPS so far. the insanely good pixel art, getting to hear all the old music and sound effects, seeing my buddies walking behind me, good honest grinding, ugh i'm loving it so far. even got me interested in trying the v pets as well :3 try these games if you're interested in monster tamers!
digimon!!!!!!!

I love that game so much. I hope you have a good time with it. I was a mess by the end of it.
