Still playing Borderlands 3 as my main PS game. Nothing to add there.
Finished Hades! Killed the 3rd region’s boss, where I wast stuck, soon after the last weekly post and reached the final boss. Died first time, didn’t even reach the boss in next try, but beat the game in try after that.
You need to beat the game multiple times to get the credits roll, and there is post-game content to get final / true ending. There is not much new in the gameplay though, except turning on different difficulty modifiers to make the game more difficult. So, after beating the game a few times, I had enough, and just watched the rest of the narrative online.
As far as I am concerned, I have finished the game.
Played a bit of Oceanhorn - Monster of Uncharted Seas, but for some reason couldn’t get into it. It’s a zelda-like, and I don’t really have any complaints, just not in the mood, maybe. Though one thing I missed from Zelda was the music when you solve some puzzle. There is no such thing in the game. I would be in a locked room, and then push the block in correct place, and while it would show me the door has opened, I wouldn’t get any music indication that I have achieved something. Never realised I would miss that.
Since I couldn’t get into Oceanhorn, I started ATOM RPG. It’s like Fallout 1/2, isometric view, post-nuclear world but situated in Soviet Union. I didn’t have high expectations from the game, specially since Fallout 2 is one of my all time favourite game, but I fell in love almost from the start. My only complaint is loading screens take a bit of time on Switch, but they are only annoying when you are traveling and get a random encounter, no issues in towns or dungeons once they are loaded. Have already spent quite a few hours, and am fully enjoying it.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
I started playing The Legend Of Zelda: A Link to the Past on Nintendo Online. It’s one of the Zeldas I have started several times and never finished. This time I intend to finish it before Echoes of Wisdom comes out! Some stuff I remember from previous unfiinshed playthroughs, others are just “Oh, this is Zelda, so I bet if I do this…” and it works. Feels very familiar 2D Zelda, hope I definitely reach the ending this time!
I got Thank Goodness You’re Here today, which I think is supposed to be just a few hours long. So far it’s a silly, funny game and the graphics are amazing. It’s like playing a cartoon, really fun so far, would recommend (and it’s currently discounted 15% on the eshop).
Thank Goodness You’re Here is from Panic, publisher of Untitled Goose Game. Different dev though. But the feel of the game (from trailer) seems very similar.
Good luck with A Link to the Past. Some of the puzzles felt a bit confusing (played it after BotW) but overall liked the game.
Thank Goodness You’re Here was super fun. Really short though, I finished it on Friday, maybe it took a couple of hours? I’d still recommend it. I haven’t played Untitled Goose Game, but from what I’ve seem, it looks like they’re maybe similar, yes.
Link to the Past… I’m going to finish it, but I see why I dropped it so many times. And this opinion won’t win me many friends, but it’s just not that good! The parallel worlds thing is pretty cool. And I understand that people who grew up with this Zelda would have it as their favorite. But it’s definitely not one of the best Zelda games for me. The combat is a bit frustrating when using the sword, enemies come from all directions but you can only attack in 4. And the shield feels completely useless. And some of the bosses feel like a chore and a test on patience more than ability.
Two of my favorite Zeldas are Link’s Awakening and A Link Between Worlds, so it’s not an issue with 2D Zelda. But when the Game Boy version feels better than the SNES version, then the SNES version is definitely not for me…
Hopefully it grows on me, I’ve enjoyed some of the puzzles, but the combat feels pretty clunky.
Well, as I say, no need to force a game you are not enjoying. There are way too many game to play anyway.
