I've recently got into Final Fantasy after playing 7 remake. So far I've played XV, X, and about five hours of IX. X and IX are both pretty accessible, particularly with the HD remasters. Both have QoL options with IX having nice ones to adjust game speed and turn off encounters. They have aged in s...

Jan 22nd - Jedi Fallen Order Feb 21st - Little Nightmares Mar 30th - Final Fantasy X April 21st - Dark Souls 3 May 14th - Dark Souls 3 + DLC May 23rd - Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition Finished Mass Effect 1 along with the platinum, which is far easier to get now. I really enjoyed my time with it. It...

A lot of people have said the Ringed City's central design thesis of "F*****G RUN!" harms the exploration that's important to Dark Souls, and I agree, particularly when those giant sorcerers respawn which I think is unnecessary. It's a shame because the environments themselves are really ...

Well done. Gael was an amazing fight. Took me 25 attempts. Did you beat Midir? I can’t beat him for the life of me. Cheers, appreciate that. Gael was brilliant, really fun fight. I did beat Midir yeah, he's a tough one for sure. I had to level up a fair bit to stand a chance. Try to stay in front o...

Finished Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City today, beat the final boss on my lunch break, which was oddly satisfying. Overall I'd say the levels of this DLC were punishing in a way I didn't enjoy. It didn't really encourage exploration, so I ended up sprinting through a fair amount of it, which meant tha...

Finished Dark Souls 3: Ashes of Ariandel today after scraping by the final boss. Really enjoyed how the fight builds from phase to phase, throwing further tests at you while the music and arena change around you, and how beautifully it fits with the narrative. Definitely the most challenging fight i...

Bloodborne was my first From Soft game too, amazing experience. I've enjoyed all their games I've played but Bloodborne has a particularly special quality to it, maybe because it was my first lol.

Jan 22nd - Jedi Fallen Order Feb 21st - Little Nightmares Mar 30th - Final Fantasy X April 21st - Dark Souls 3 Beat the main game of Dark Souls 3. Still got both of the DLCs to play but we'll still count it as a completed game. I really enjoyed it. The gameplay is really fun, a nice balance between ...

Well said!

I'm in the same boat as you all, I've enjoyed Sony's exclusives this generation, but it's easy to see a case of diminishing returns and increasingly conservative choices setting in. As much as I've enjoyed them I'm burnt out on Uncharted and Last of Us, although I would like to see some sort of fina...

Jan 22nd - Jedi Fallen Order Feb 21st - Little Nightmares Mar 30th - Final Fantasy X Been playing Final Fantasy X since the start of the year and finally finished it, about 70 hours total playthrough. Very enjoyable game. Combat was really fun, enjoyed the tactical decision making and how you can sw...

I romanced Triss in TW3, although I don't have a strong opinion either way. I wasn't really aware of the story outside of the games so might've done differently if I was. Main reason I stuck with her was that I liked her and Geralt's relationship in TW2 and 3, they seemed to click better and they su...

I find I can't really separate my experience of this game from the nastiness surrounding it sadly, even though I never sought it out. It's not about discussion so much as using cheap talking points as a battering ram to turn people away from the game and make it toxic. And unfortunately it often wor...

I'd like to get the Sekiro platinum. I'll need to do another full playthrough to get all bosses/shura etc, then grind for skills and prosthetic upgrades. Keen to do former but not sure about the latter. First platinum was Bioshock Infinite. It was quite fun to get other than 1999 mode, which was a b...

Jan 22nd - Jedi Fallen Order Feb 21st - Little Nightmares Decided to give Little Nightmares a go as a break from Final Fantasy X, which I'm working my way through and coming up to the end of. Really enjoyable game. I loved the lighting, the clanks, echoes and discordant tones, and the exaggerated fe...

I picked this up not long after release and quickly found myself sucked in, finding myself playing it whenever I had spare time. I think there are a few things that make it such an enjoyable experience that you want to come back to. It's a game that gives you the freedom to choose your activities fo...

I pre-ordered this game, unusual for me, as I'm a big fan of the original. Thankfully I was able to avoid the story leaks, although the negativity and nastiness around the game were hard to ignore. The level and art design really stood out for me. Areas like Patrol with Dina, the open design of Seat...

22/01 - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Completed the story for this about a week ago, spent the remaining week picking up the trophies for the platinum. I enjoyed it more than I expected. It's a nice mix of metroidvania level design, lightsaber/force based combat, and some uncharted style set pieces....

This was my first Final Fantasy game, after years of being intrigued by the series but unsure where to start. I enjoyed the demo, and picked it up in May of 2020. I enjoyed it immensely, and have a real affection for it now, partly because of how it helped me get through a tough period of isolation ...

I have fond childhood memories of getting a game boy color and copy of pokemon silver for my 10th birthday. I was a real pokemon nerd as a kid, and spent countless hours exploring every part of the world, catching pokemon, and eventually levelling my team up to level 100 without cheating (something ...
