It's simply too frustrating. I'm not having fun. Too many pogo areas and frustrating enemy behavior and boss fights with randomized small enemy attacks which makes boss fights feel badly structured.
I've seen the credits roll…
but only the normal Act 2 Ending and extra ending that starts Act 3 but I haven't finished Act 3 yet

I'm doing an arcade at home session on saturn. Was on this racing game tougue king I just discovered. Then beat another world of bomberman. And now going to really try out elevator action. I've playedit only a tiny bit.
Bomberman reminds me of load runner. I checked to see if they ever made legend returns for saturn and they did. The import is not too bad on ebay. Eh been on a bit of a tear this weekend I gotta say. I already have it on PS1. Blah im getting it. Love that game.
My saturn collection is getting pretty good! For many years I just had a really small collection. And I would enjoy it from time to time. But in the last 3 or 4 years I've been picking up a lot and I have a legitimate library now. Maybe 50 games? Idk. Many I haven't played, too. Several I like and haven't beat. I've had to turn to bootlegs on just a few that were just too expensive to justify. But the vast majority are original. Such a good time with this library. For my money, this was the most exciting era. Not necessarily the best games, but some are legit bangers, some that are weird dead-end designs, and some that are both.

Finished Doom 3 BFG on the steamdeck in 3D with xr glasses. Feels like a cross between Dead Space and Bioshock with the broadcasts and audio logs. Fun slower paced doom origins story with a dark atmosphere and lighting.

Finished Withering Rooms. Fantastic game. Its curse meter is one of the most interesting mechanics I've seen in a long time. Every spell curses you, the same a lot of enemy attacks and items. If the curse bar is fullfilled you start to lose life. But that's not all: the world changes if you're cursed. The more the curse bar is filled more creepy is the environment, almost Silent Hillesque. However not everything is bad. ghosts aren't longer invisible if you're cursed, and you can access some areas and even treasures. Even you can use your curse meter for some attacks stronger with some equipped items. Besides this feature, Withering Rooms knows how surprises you until the end. It's tense, unique and makes you every decision making important, specially about your builds.
And now I'm with Labyrinth of the Demon King. Damn, this shit is terrifying.

Remnant: From the Ashes (PC)
Bought both this game and Remnant II a while back at deep discounts, finally getting around to playing the first game.
It's kinda like Dark Souls with guns. The story is pretty generic post-apocalyptic fare; I find it hard to give a rat's ass about any of the dialogue. But the gameplay is pretty good. Already having a lot of fun with randos in co-op.
Cave Story 3D (N3DS)
Long have I waited to play this one. Huge fan of the original game, especially its pixel art and music. 3D is a 2.5D remake with a rearranged soundtrack. Loving it so far, my only qualms are its 30fps update and super low resolution. The 3D effect, I should mention, is fantastic though.
I didn't know Pixel (the original one-man dev) essentially directed this remake, before I found this neat interview he did years ago.

I finished Harold Halibut on PS5. Great indie game, fantastic claymaytion art style and some good music here and there. Enjoyed it but not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
Back to bouncing between Romancing Saga 2 and Trails in the Sky remakes on PS5. Trails has very clean, very stable graphics which are amazing. I think Estelle may become my favourite trails character - I love Van and Agnes but I see them as an inseparable partnership rather than two separate characters.
Ball X Pit on PC has been my flow state game (it's going to be on so many goty lists this year), but I pulled the trigger on Football Manager 26 now it's in beta and my PC gaming time is going to be thin on the ground for the foreseeable.

After spending another weekend and finishing the 3rd boss fight in Death Stranding 2 I can confidently say that I'm blown away.
I came into this game for the usual Kojima weirdness and writing and am a bit surprised of how much of a good game it is. I remember liking part 1 quite a lot but that was more due to how unique it was and less because of how much fun I had with the gameplay. This one is really, really good. May ever surpass Clair Obscure as GOTY for me if it doesn't run out of steam later on. Did not expect that going in.

Metroid Fusion
Trying to play as much Metroid as I can before Prime 4 drops. I did Zero Mission + the original. Prime remastered not long ago and now Fusion. Interesting spin on the formula. Has a more cosmic horror vibe to it that I totally love. I hope Nintendo drops Prime 2 & 3 before 4 but I probably won't manage to beat them before Beyond. I think I can squeeze in another playthrough of Dread though. Super hyped!!

Too many games right now. I'm playing:
Ball x Pit: These grindy survivor roguelike games are too addictive. I find them relaxing as you don't have to think too much while playing.
Caves of Qud: Had a good run with my 4-armed (6-armed with root helper hands) axe wielding marauder mutant. Died to stupid mistake. Time to take a break from Qud.
Deep rock survivor: Same as with Ball x Pit
Ninja Gaiden 4: While I like NG Black and NG Black 2 more, this is still fun to play.
Recently finished Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 EE. Those are some great games. Didn't care too much for the added content though.

Finished my Dark Souls 3 playthrough and immediately decided to jump into Bloodborne (again).
Haven't played it since it was first released, so I've forgotten almost everything at this point.
Going Strength build I think. Axe into Ludwigs

Started a new playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy to get the Platinum down the line.
Man, that game still looks so good.
