I picked up Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Good Job! for the switch, so I’ll be spending some time with that this weekend. Those will be good for some local co-op this weekend with my partner. I’ve been going along with Yakuza other than that, focusing alot on the mini games. I finished the business…

I’m playing through Witcher 3 for the first time. The second one bored me so bad that I put it down after a little over 20 hours and never picked it back up again, so I’ve avoided Wild Hunt since it came out. But about a week ago I figured I’d give it a shot. And so far, so good.

My Friday HOT TAKE is: Is Fenyx Rising my favorite open world game of the past few years? Do I possibly like this more then BotW?! I’ve said this across other comment threads, but it’s like this blend of the world and inventory design of Assassin’s Creed (but streamlined, thank god); the aesthetics and mechanics of…

Still working on Hitman 3 and will probably finish the main story this weekend. I’ve been going slow doing nearly all of the challenges in each level before moving on and it’s been great. I’ll probably go back and do some of the escalations when I’m done.

While I haven’t played any of the Silent Hill games extensively, weirdly enough Silent Hill 2 is the only one I have zero experience with. I keep meaning to remedy that but nowadays it seems like the easiest solution (that doesn’t involve modding a legacy PC version) is the HD re-release and all I hear is bad news…

The only thing more infuriating than old-school Silent Hill’s controls are the people who defend them.

Silent Hill 2 came out when I had just graduated high school. I remember being absolutely riveted playing through. Just glued to my seat the entire time. I haven’t played it since and I don’t remember much, but it stands out in my memory as probably the scariest game I’ve ever played. Dead Space maybe spooked me more;…

I got a little ways in to RE4 last weekend and I’m planning to get back into that, but I charged up my 3DS and not only finished an existing playthrough of 999, but burned through ALL THE TEXT to get the “real” ending of it yesterday. Decent puzzles, had to laugh that the “final boss” was a sudoku puzzle, and the…

I’m probably gonna dabble in some of the demos too.

Dark Souls, Ys VIII, and whatever else. I watched a retrospective on the Dragon Age games this week and that kind of gave me an itch to take another crack at Origins. But I have files in both Pathfinder Kingmaker and Pillars of Eternity that I should probably focus on if I’m going to play another RPG.

I took down…

I’m about halfway through Star Wars Episode 1: Racer for the Switch. Goddamn does that game hold up. The polygonal graphics still look great for a game from the 64-bit era, and I can’t think of any other games that nail the tight controls but still feels like you’re being dragged by a jet engine that you can barely…

Skyrim. Over and over and over again. Different races, different genders, different paths. Add in mods and it’s just one of those games to which I keep going back. I rang in 2021 by standing atop the Throat of the World as the clock ticked over to 00:01 on January 1st.

idk if this’ll affect your plans, but SH3 is very much a sequel to SH1. You might want to check that one out first (SH2 is pretty much standalone, though).

Silent hill 2 is excellent. One of the few horror games i have taught about finishing twice. Played it one on the ps3. Taught it was to creepy. I dont quiet rememer when . But whenever i played horror games some year ago i usually played some hrs a section or two. Taught it was to creepy and didnt pick it up again. At…

As a kid, I had a gym teacher who, when we were running, would joke that we were like “molasses in January”. When I finished Bloodborne and moved to DS2, that was all I could think of.

Doom Eternal: after loving Doom 2016 this one took some time getting used to - faster, more frantic and with a lot of resources management - but now I can’t stop playing it.

I will eventually get around to Sekiro. I originally told myself I had to finish the Souls series (except for DS2 which did not click with me) to clear out some my backlog first, but then Demon’s Souls came along and I ended up playing through that 3-4 times, and now I’m stalled in the early part of DS3. Someday. I’m…

So much Soulsborne action in here. I like it.

Theoretically my copy of Star Wars Episode 1: Racer should be arriving from Limited Run Games today. I held off on the digital release for the Switch because I knew that a physical cart was going to be released. I own the N64 version, but I’d rather have a copy that I can play on the go.
