Replaying Lords of Shadow now and I remember liking this game quite much back in the day but it's pretty rubbish. The game wants to be every game under the sun except fucking Castlevania. It wants to be Uncharted, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, but all it does is cheap imitation. And the fixed camera angles are annoying as hell. Mercury Steam tries their damndest to be artsy employing every camera angle in the world but it just makes game borderline unplayable. Ugh, can't believe I thought this game was any good. What a failure.

d2,3 and 4 are quite decent, d1 not so much, basically its a spiritual succesor to dungeon keeepeer series with sprinkled warcraft3 on top and lots of good humour :)
That sounds awesome actually :messenger_grinning_squinting:
Unfortunately it's not on Game Pass anymore.
But, i have Dungeons 3 in my Steam Library but i really would want to play 4.
But i guess 3 will have to do it also.

What time is it?
I got Live A Live back when it released on the Switch, played two-and-half chapters and then put it down. I wrapped it up over the last few days. Conceptually, I love the game as small vignettes seems like a wonderful device to have a huge range of characters and stories. And there are a few of the chapters that I really liked (Chinese Shifu, present day Wrestling), but more often than not I think the chapters fall flat as they are so short that it is hard to get invested in most of the cast. The tone of the game is all over the place weaving between comedy and drama and not often threading the needle to accomplish either well. The game is also easy until it is not which makes some sense with how it is structured, but you'll go from cakewalks in all the individual character introduction chapters to hitting walls towards the end. Having to grind isn't surprising considering when it was made, but I did find the last few hours frustrating and just wanted the entire ordeal to be over. Voice acting is pretty hit or miss too. Visuals, like Squares other HD 2D games, are really nice.
