Picked No Man Sky back up, this game is so very beautiful and incredibly fun. I’m pretty sure I’m not even done with the tutorial and I’ve already been to several planets and I’m slowly learning the languages.
When I don’t have time to dig in, Castle Crashers just got an update. Yeah, that game from Newgrounds that’s nearly 20 years old. You can make your own character now.
I haven’t even heard the Castle Crashers name in YEARS. I completely forgot it even existed. I used to play it a fair bit with friends back in the day. That makes me feel old now.
That’s crazy that it got a new update. I’ll have to check it out for sure. I owned it on the 360 way back, I’ll have to buy it again on steam. $17 though seems like a lot for a 17 year old game. I’ll have to get it on sale.
Honestly, it’s totally worth it. If you have any digital art skills you can make your own guy, or use any of the billion options on the steam workshop. They’ve also done a remaster and worked out better online play.
Good to know, thanks!
I’d love to get back into NMS
Character creator on CC? Wut?!
Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight / Persona 4 Dancing All-Night
I haven’t played much of P3D before so now that I have some fresh experience with both it and P4D I can safely say the latter is a better game - whether in terms of gameplay, beatmaps or soundtrack, P3D feels a bit less “inspired”, I guess. It’s kinda unfortunate as P3 is my favourite game in the series (I haven’t played 1 or 2 yet) but whatever, the important part is to have fun.
I’m slowly getting back in the groove. No full perfects yet but full combos are back on the menu and that’s exactly what I aim for.
Persona 3 Portable
Playing both dancing games made me go back to my unfinished pink playthrough of P3P. I haven’t touched it since… last year (I think?) due to mind goblins messing with my focus when playing RPGs at the time but I still want to see how things play out from the alternative perspective.
I don’t have much to write about this one at the moment as I’m still in the early parts (just got Akihiko a few in-game days prior) but I have to drop a hot take nonetheless - I really wish these games had no time limit. I understand why it’s there and that it’s important from the narrative perspective but it’s a mechanic I never really enjoyed in games (Persona or otherwise). Now that I got to experience a Persona title without one (P5X gacha), it made these feelings even stronger.
At least I’m playing on the easy mode (NG+) so I can skip most of the grind and focus on what I’m interested in (social elements). I’m really curious about the new stuff.
I remember playing that almost a decade ago. Got a lot of nostalgic memories of it.
I know it doesn’t exactly fit the criteria, but it’s had a few sales. I’ve been playing pal world pretty much non-Stop. I remember getting bored the first time but I don’t know what feels like something has changed I’m really into it
I can’t give enough praise to Snowrunner. Need more players who enjoy simulation games!
I am almost done with Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It’s weird, but I’m enjoying it.
Battleblock Theater and Noita, but I’m having trouble with controller support for the latter. It doesn’t seem to work on Steam Deck when it’s docked.
I have to get back into Hollow Knight to get ready for Silksong, it is a need I feel in my bones
I’m playing the first ratchet and clank on rpcs3.
