Juggling games like a lunatic at the moment:
- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Replay time! It's been...4 years? 4 years. Maybe. Either way I cannot remember a thing and I am somewhat enjoying myself yet at the same time I'm kinda over the gunplay broken up by simple puzzles.
- Metroid: Samus Returns. I fucking hate this game, it's a badly designed piece of garbage typical of Mercurysteam, who should not have been allowed anywhere near Metroid after what they did to Castlevania. Did nobody play the Lords of Shadow games?! I mean, all star voice cast aside (who can say no to Sir Patrick Stewart narrating?) those were absolutely awful games, and Samus Returns is a repetitive, braindead slog through miserably linear levels for a Metroid game. I'd almost rather play Other M. Almost. But I've just beaten that stupid robot boss (which takes fucking forever to kill, by the way) so I'm close to the end. Then I can move on to the fun games again. Like AM2R. Super Metroid. Fusion. Anything not this.
- Dead Cells. I blitzed through this without really exploring it a couple of years ago, and this was before any updates. Coming back to it, it feels like a mostly different game...mostly. I don't remember the Concierge being this much of a pain in the arse. I've never really been sure how I feel about these "if at first you don't succeed, die, die again" type games, but this one is good for a quick loop when I have a spare minute. Plus Ender Lillies drops tomorrow and Legend of Mana on the 24th so I'll be playing those, so I don't want to launch into something time consuming.
- Tell Me Why. This is...a very aptly named game. I'm still not sure how I feel about this. I'll make my mind up by the end of it. But there are some serious double standards (you forgive the woman who wanted to put you in a conversion camp, but you don't forgive the guy who called you a slur out of ignorance and later apologised?) and some very messy writing moments in this that I'm not sure I can really overlook. Time will tell. In the meantime...tell me why.
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II. OK, I've probably dropped this. It's boring. Like the first game was boring. I'll come back to it! Next year, probably. God help me.
- Genshin Impact. Maybe? I have Qiqi, who I pulled with my first wish, which is supposedly good. I don't have Fischl, who I actually want. Such is gacha. I'm not super invested in this at the moment.
Er...I think that's it. For now.
