Played and finished Stick it to the Man. It’s an old game from 2013 (2017 on Switch) by Zoink games, which later merged with Image & Form to make Thunderful games.
It’s a side scroller platform, where you have a giant hand coming out of hand, which you can use to jump around or read other people mind. You need to solve some puzzle and bring people things to move forward.
A small game, can be completed in 4-5 hours, very humorous though. Highly recommended to anyone who like weird / funny games.
After that, played and finished Metro 2033 Redux, oldest PS4 game on my wishlist. While I enjoyed the story and narrative, I didn’t like the game much, maybe because I am not a fan of survivor horror.
I watched the story of the next game Metro Last Light but didn’t play it. Will probably try Metro Exodus since I have heard it has switched to more action gameplay.
After all that, I am back to Trails in the Sky: SC, this is now my primary game, though it’s a long one so going to take me couple of months at least to finish it.
Since that is on PC, I also needed a game on Switch and PS. For Switch, I started Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. It’s my first Atelier game, and I have pretty much just started it, but it seems nice. Very chill, cozy crafting JRPG, without any doom and gloom (yet).
For PlayStation, I started Dust: An Elysian Tale, had it from PS+ ages ago. It’s a 2D metroidvania JRPG. Also, only started it, but it gives me a bit of Vanillaware vibes.
So, it may seem like I played a lot, but basically just finished 2 small games and started 2/3 games. And since all these games are pretty long, I’ll probably be playing them for next 2-3 months.
What about all of you? What have you been playing
I haven’t because I suck at games like this but I’ve already gotten further than I had before. Consistently getting to Elysium but getting bad boon rolls really hurts. But the music, writing, and art style keep me interested. Especially with the sequel on the horizon. I know it’s in early access right now, but I can wait.
Nice. Elysium has a difficulty spike from previous world, and the boss is pretty difficult too. I found it more difficult than the last boss.
I’ve noticed. My damage is nowhere near as effective within the first few encounters. But I’ve learned not to take it so seriously. Bad boon buckets happen. Grab the best I can, go as far as I can. Repeat. I need to check some guides on which synergies work best so I can keep an eye out for those while I get more ambrosia for keepsakes.
Which weapons are you using? Sometimes changing weapons helps, for instance I wasn’t all that great with close range weapons, I did best with long range ones. Bow was good, but that gun (forgot the name) was the best.
I’m bouncing between the weapons that give me the bonus darkness but the fists and the railgun are probably my favorites.
