What game are you currently playing?

I just beat Romeo is a Deadman and like most Suda games its flawed but still very fun and memorable despite of its flaws.

The combat is fun when fighting a boss but it's frustratingly unfun when fighting normal enemies.

I think Suda should do what Yoko Taro did with Automata, bring devs like Platinum Games or another devs who are experienced at making fun action combat.
 
Still going through Titan Quest. Beat the main game and now I'm playing the short Atlantis DLC before going all in on Immortal Throne.

Very cool and fun so far, and quite pretty as well.
 
Lost my write up, oh well.
Just rolled credits on Hades 2
Beat Ball x Pit before that
Next is Dave the Diver and the Portal collection. Already beat the portals ages ago but wanted to play through again switch 2 and it was on sale cheap
 
Mass Effect Legendary Edition. My playthroughs have only ever been Male Shepard Paragon or Fem Shep Renegade. So this time I'm doing a goody-goody Fem Shep white panties playthrough.

Second playthrough of God of War Ragnarok on New Game+. The Dark Oddysey skins for weapons, armor and Kratos is awesome.

Looks even better than i remember playing it now on PS5 Pro.

Spent a little of my Saturday afternoon cleaning up some of the side stuff; Sending kodama home, bathing in hot springs, and clearing out some of the enemy bases. I also switched my build up a little by changing from fire to thunder based stuff.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Just did the young Lara sequence and now I've stumbled upon a small little village in the jungle.

Done! 😍😍😍

Cons:
- lack of inventory slots
- it's often hard to pick up an item even when it is right under your feet
- no checkpoints

Pros:
- classic Resident Evil atmosphere, gameplay, puzzles, enemies, etc.
- the graphics look phenomenal even today
- good co-op mechanics

Overall I recommend Resident Evil Zero. It turned out to be better than I expected.
 
Making it a bit further in God of War 2018. I finished up the first realm that you visit, and I've just been exploring all the areas around the main lake that I guess I could have done earlier but I was looking to move the narrative forward a bit first.

I definitely did not get hooked on this game to start there was no definitive hook for me. I didn't really care for the combat or the way the narrative was proceeding but the more I play it the more I do appreciate the interactions between Kratos and the boy. I like that Kratos remains very terse in terms of his responses and there is some value in that I think. While I do enjoy the conversations that happen on the boat sometimes they end and begin a little too quickly, back to back when there should probably be some space in between. At the same time there isn't some gigantic space in which to be paddling around for that space to exist, so it makes some sense. It is interesting that the notes are from the boys perspective and I do read all of the entries when the law option pops up.

While I still don't think it's an amazing game by any means, I'm getting a little more into it as I go along but I don't fault myself for dropping this a couple of hours into it years ago because there's just not much to keep you going at first. And it doesn't need to be said but this is nothing like the original games for better or for worse. As always with IP reinventions, even if I like what's new my biggest concern is always that it potentially means evisceration of what was old going forward (ie Zelda).

Did a new playthrough of Zero last year. I didn't like it all when I played it on GameCube back in the day but it was pretty good this time around. It was definitely a much better experience now. A remake could probably iron out the most glaring issues and become a really good entry in the franchise.
 
Finished Valiant Hearts: The Great War.

This game is such a beautiful gem. I consider this to be a game that you can classify as art. Set during World War 1, you follow four characters that crosses each others paths during the war. The story is very gripping and well written. The characters are sympathetic and likeable, despite not having any actual dialogue. The graphics are beautiful, hand drawn animations that holds up so well. The gameplay is a bit limited but is functional, with some light puzzle elements to keep you engaged throughout the adventure.

Valiant Hearts is also filled with interesting trivia and information about the war, what set it off, it's consequences for the people, notable events and so on. Very educational and interesting to read.

I absolutely adored this game. It's so good, so fun to play and so sad and tragic that I almost shed a tear at the ending. Not many games have moved me as much as this one did. Ubi cooked hard with this one.
 
Started MGS2, I like it but this game has a ton of cutscenes. I barely get to play it.

I really am enjoying the visual style of it.

I'm at the first major town in Avowed. I am thinking about rolling another character but totally leaning into the Godlike aspect of the MC's appearance, and just making a completely Godlike'd out monstrosity and then picking all the sarcastic dialogue choices. It seems I "failed" a side quest by choosing a different dialogue option with a character, so there could be some effect on the world with such choices. Not sure if I'd want to play melee or magic though...

I am bouncing off of Mario Tennis Fever and that is upsetting because I am a big tennis fan.

I need to get back to DQ VII Re.
