I finally got around to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Another game that seems tailor made specific to my interests and yet it took me awhile to actually get around to playing it. It was a lot of fun. Very easy, but enjoyable game.

Talk to me, superstar. What do you want?
finished all three of them now! they're great games, but the story kinda fell off in the last one close to the end. still, v good and enjoyed much. might try absolution.
I finished up my initial playthrough of Nier Replicant today, getting ending A after taking a long pause soon after starting it due to the TBT Fair starting and just not having the time to resume playing it until recently. It's a pretty solid game, I enjoyed it. I definitely want to play it again at some point and get the other endings (which I also need to do with Nier Automata tbf).

I finished two games this weekend.
Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons- Arenanet has really amped up their writing skills. It's not my favorite of the expansions story wise but the world is beautiful. The art direction is immaculate and is such a welcome change.
Disco Elysium- I would die for Kim Kitsuragi, I am obsessed with this game. I ended up being two political extremes in this game because I clicked through every dialogue option I could just to hear more of the narrators voice, it's like butter for my ears. It wasn't my intent but I did get a good (or joke?) Ending. Kim ended up liking me in the end and that's all I can ask for.

I finished Style Savvy: Styling Star today! ^^ It's the type of game that you can pretty much play as long as you want to, so I may well pop back into it in the future when I've got that dress-up game itch, but I think I'll be done with it for a while at least.
The story and characters are definitely on the twee side, but without feeling shallow or overly cutesy. There's a lot of original songs in the game too—admittedly most of them weren't really my style of music, save for "Maria", which absolutely slaps, and "Radiance", which I really liked too. (Music taste is a very subjective thing of course, so you might like the other songs better than I did!)
There's a ton of clothes in this game in a wide array of styles, and there's a feature to design your own clothes via templates as well. I honestly found the design feature a bit bare-bones and pretty limiting, but there's still potential for some really pretty outfits, and you can find some really nice designs made by other players as well. As for character customization, there's a good amount of face options, although there's no body type options aside from height, and I wish there'd been more types of hairstyles available. Furniture for your apartment is also a bit lacking, but there's plenty for your boutique.
The customer request system did feel a little wonky at times (I had a girl request hiking boots, then leave in disgust when I offered her an item called "Hiking Boots"), but if you're feeling mischievous, there is great opportunity to commit fashion crimes. I enjoyed putting characters into ridiculous ensembles that no reasonable person would ever be caught dead in almost as much as I enjoyed fulfilling requests seriously, and it's pretty fun playing around to see just how much you can get away with. There's a good variety of requests and even some short side-storylines, so it's still enjoyable to just play as intended. And while it does result in some... strange responses from customers sometimes, the request system is a bit more complicated than it looks—you'll usually have plenty of creative freedom, but you can't just mindlessly throw anything and everything together either.
Overall, I thought it was a really cute little game, despite some awkwardness in some areas. I got a lot more out of it than I expected to, and I'll most likely try out the other games in the series in the future.

I finished Tales of Berseria! It’s a 10/10 game to be honest. The story is incredible and the battle system is fun and engaging. Sure the backtracking and lack of proper fast travel sucks, but everything else about the game is fantastic. I can’t believe the majority of Tales fans dislike this game.

That’s such a great series. If you have the chance you should try Trails From Zero too! The official English version just released a few weeks ago.Just finished Trails of Cold Steel IV. Love this series so much, it concluded the erebonia arc wonderfully. Can't wait for Trails into Reverie

Metal Gear Solid 3! I've watched a friend play most of the MGS games, and now I'm playing them for the first time and showing them to my brother. I absolutely love the series, especially 2 and 3.
