Anything good?

I’m hoping to get some time to play Return of the Obra Dinn if I could get any significant amount of time blocked off to game.

    I’m starting to play subnautica for the first time! I’ve heard good things but I’m finding the start a little slow, the loop hasn’t quite got me invested yet.

    Love return of the Obra Dinn. Hope you enjoy it!

    Decided to do my first play through of The Witcher. Never was a game that caught my interest, but so far I’m enjoying it. Not running any mods because I’m weird, according to my discord peeps.

    Pokemon Trading Card Game 2: Great Rocket Attacks. There’s a translation and I’m playing it on a retroconsole.

    It’s literally a “MORE OF IT!” sequel in the same engine to Pokemon TCG, except with twice the cards, a second island, and all of the old content is eventually available. They also improve on some AI quirks, and nearly all characters now have three portraits to show happiness and sadness. Also, the opponent decks are tremendously more well thought out (ez example: Electric users usually also have bird pokemon that resist the Fighting/Ground decks you’re going to bring against them) so you could pretty much see it as a full blown DLC Sequel. It’s also longer, way longer.

    I wish I had this game as a kid. I have no idea why they didn’t export it outside Japan. Pokemon Stuff was selling for truckloads between gen 1 and 2.

        The new update should also be around the corner, it’s gonna be the biggest one yet. Their devs & community manager really hear the players, definitely one of the few gems out there

  • ah, my favourite weekly thread!

    i’m playing Devil May Cry 5, i wanted to see what all the fuss was about action/gameplay-wise before starting FF XVI in a few weeks time (which I’m extremely hyped for!).
    i’m having a pretty great time with the game so far!

    Finally picked back up A Link Between Worlds on the 3DS, inspired by watching SGDQ, after dropping out of it so long ago that I don’t even remember how long ago that was. It’s a total blast, even if I’m struggling to figure out exactly what I’ve already done and need to be doing.

    Another replay of Shadow of the Colossus and also started Zelda 2 on NES. SOTC is always a favorite. Zelda 2 I’m a bit iffy on after really enjoying the original, but I’m still early. The stark change in style and gameplay direction threw me off in the beginning but I’m hoping to adjust.

    Although, this week it’s been hard for me to find time to play anything.

    Halfway through Dishonored 2 ATM and loving it - feels a bit slicker and more polished than the original which I also adored. The game had a lot of issues with motion sickness in the past which prevented me from experiencing it.

      Is the game enjoyable without playing the first one? Got it for free on PlayStation+ a few weeks ago but didn’t want to miss on important details.

        Difficult to say what it’d be like as a newcomer as I’m quite familiar with the world and characters.

        The gameplay is slick as ever and I’d argue more fun than the first, but there’s not much of a tutorial at the beginning - a fair amount of assumed knowledge is implied.

        I’d say for the best experience, you should still play the first one as there’s plenty of throwback in the second installment’s story. They’re very much married in that respect.

        If you’re curious, the first one must be quite cheap these days and well worth it in my opinion.
