Currently playing the CRPG from Owlcat called Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Spent two hours just making my character, a female half-elf ranger. (Too many options! Dnd, you are so complicated!) Five hours into the game. Plays and looks good so far. I hope this one satisfies my crpg itch until Baldur's Gate 3 officially launches.
First time I've gotten around to it since playing it on the Wii really didn't appeal to me.
I like it.
For a start, I feel I made the right choice skipping the Wii version. I don't see how the Wii version would be any better. I imagine hating this more with motion controls.
I generally like it because it's a bit goofy, like Suda 51's other games basically. A lame weeb who thinks he's cool AF, sits in a room surrounded by anime figures, bought a lightsaber on eBay, learns his wrestling moves from TV, drives around on his over the top anime bike trying to save up enough money doing boring jobs so that he can be the #1 assassin and get laid.
Tis repetitive though and the fights aren't as intricate or unique as I would have hoped for, but I would take a guess and say that's because of the limitations of the console it was made for. When a Wii game feels lacking, more often than not it's because they had to develop for the dumbass motion controls.
Animal Crossing: New Horizon
Let's Go, Pikachu
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (though it's so challenging that I'm discouraged from playing it again after just a couple of hours)
i'm about 30 hours into dragon quest 11 currently (and feel like i'm still at the start of the game lol) i'm really enjoying it so far! the only thing i'm concerned about is i seem to be over-leveled coz i like just running around battling monsters and so now it's got too easy
I'm alternating between Tales of Arise and Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition.
In Arise I've just entered the fourth realm, loving the visuals and combat, plus its fishing minigame is more fun than I thought. As for Xenoblade, I've just finished Mechonis Field, but I left to do the sidequests I've built up before fighting the boss. I'm not looking forward to the Jade Face fight at all lol
I've started 2 new games this week on my switch: The outer worlds and Eastwards.
The outer worlds I've seen trailers from long ago but actually forgot about it until I found it having a huge sale in the eshop. I really like the theme and feel of it so far but I'll need to play it on tv mode soon because until now I've been doing it handheld and the aiming and shooting mechanics are not fun at all that way.
Eastward was just released a few days ago and ever since I saw the trailer I couldn't wait to play it and so far it's living up to it! Everything is so beautiful, the artwork, the music, the vibes! It's also bringing back memories to oldschool games and its very relaxing to play.
I'm still playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons daily, but with TLOU2 done, I've now moved onto playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which I'm enjoying so far.
I'm picking up Zelda: Breath of The Wild, I got it recently. I've only played 3 hours so far. I really like it, it's just sometimes the enemies stress me out and I start gravitating towards calmer games like ACNH, Stardew Valley more often. I still have fun with it but sometimes I need a break from games where you are fighting different enemies. So far I've gotten to the part where I made that recipe to get the winter tunic from the old man. I still need to get the paraglider.
Finally completed Pokémon Shield! What a game! Stealth rock, Pokémon that use moves that counter your Pokémon types like Charizard using Max Overgrowth; Gamefreak sure has upgraded the NPC AIs of this game, making it a satisfying victory. I was this close to losing to Leon if not for my level difference - I was using a Swampert when he went Overgrowth on me. lol
Glad I didn't listen to the naysayers. This game's not bad. I had a lot of fun with the Dynamaxing, and the way you get to battle in front of a stadium audience is appropriately epic, the way Pokémon battles should be conducted.
The story isn't the best, and the legend is kinda mediocre compared to past games. But other than those two minor flaws, this game gets an 8/10 from me.
Now it's time for me to catch some Gigantamax Pokémon...
Absolutely addicted to Cookie Run Kingdom at the moment. The game’s really fun and gives lots of rewards so it definitely feels satisfying to complete daily missions, story quests, and arena battles. Meta is less of a headache than Genshin because stat building with toppings is way easier (compared to taking months grinding in domains lol). This game will probably be something I’ll be picking up everyday, spending maybe an hour or more each day to do stuff. I really love the cookie designs too, they’re all super cute! Herb Cookie and Moon Rabbit Cookie are my favorites to use, but my sweet summer child is defintely Onion Cookie.
Other than Genshin Impact, I played Pokemon Sword for the first time in awhile and FINALLY finished catching the legendary birds in the Crown Tundra. Then I took on the Galarian Star Tournament and beat that easily, so I’m finished with Sword/Shield. Next on my list to play is Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I still have a lot to do there.
Tales of Arise. It looks beautiful and it runs amazing on my XSX. I never been into the "Tales of" series but this one caught my attention. I'd say, I'm starting to get addicted. Also, I downloaded Kena: Bridge of Spirits. While, it looks great on PS5, I feel kind of iffy when it comes to the controls. I might give it a chance some other time. Psychonauts 2 is still the best game I've played (or been playing. I'm not yet done) so far this year.
