Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

Playing Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout as my primary game. Not much to add here.

Started (and finished) Until Dawn. It has been in my library for ages.

A bit scary for my taste, but enjoyed the game overall. Didn't know it had such a big cast. Wanted to go back and play through multiple times more, one by keeping everyone alive, and one by letting everyone die and then get the Platinum, but when I tried I realised you can't skip the cut scenes or any conversations, even if you have seen them before. Not going to sit through all those again, will just watch different endings on YouTube.

This also confirmed for me that I don't like horror, so not going to play any other Supermassive games.

Keeping with the theme of this year, started another game from very back of my backlog Apotheon, it's an old side scrolling Greek RPG from 2014 or so.

Visuals are very nice, like those pot paintings (whatever they are called), black characters on yellow (and other coloured) backdrop. I am making it sound simple, but they are very detailed. Controls take a bit getting used to, but it's fun when you get the hang of it.

Also, downloaded Marvel Rivals, some friends are interested in trying it out. Let's see how long this lasts.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

Playing Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. The game is very chill, but bosses have a difficulty spike. There was a mini boss before that killed me couple of times, then had to go back and use all tools in my arsenal to beat it. Same thing happened with this boss. Was breezing through everything, then half way through the boss battle he did an attack and everyone died.

Not a big deal though, there are few equipment upgrades I can do but skipped because I ran out of specific materials and since game was already pretty easy so didn't bother with them. Going to gather the materials now.

Started (and finished) Superhot, it's the most innovative shooter I have played in years. Got it as PS+ monthly game a while back but hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Game is a low-poly first person shooter where time moves only when you move. Plays more like a puzzle than a shooter, or well, at least felt like that to me. Everyone, including you, is one hit kill, so you have to avoid the bullets and kill all the enemies. When someone dies you can just pick their weapon from the air before it falls down, pretty fun.

Also, it's a pretty short game, finished it in a single sitting, took me less than couple of hours.

Finally got Age of Empires 4 on Steam autumn sale! Have been meaning to get this (or AoE 2) since I upgraded my laptop, finally got 4 yesterday on sale. Used to play Age of Empires a lot in my younger days, specially 2. Had tons of LAN parties, so looking forward to get into it again. Was never a great PvP player though, so going to stick to single player for now.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Releasing February 6th

Free extra content!

I played this game a couple months ago and enjoyed it, but it definitely felt shorter than the prior games so this is a very welcome update.

More classic games were just added to the SEGA Genesis™ – Nintendo Switch Online library and are playable right now:

• ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
• VectorMan
• WOLF OF THE BATTLEFIELD: MERCS

You can play them all on your Nintendo Switch™ system with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

Finished Spider-man 2, completed everything to 100% and got the Platinum. Now playing through main story again in NG+ for a single DLC trophy. Should be done with in a day or so. Haven't decided what to play on PS next, will probably just play some WWE 2K24 as a secondary game or maybe some other small game from my backlog.

Will start focusing on Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout from this weekend. Even with that, it's a pretty long game, so will probably take a while to complete.

After some deliberation I have officially dropped Trails in the Sky: SC, I was enjoying the game (other than when I got stuck at the boss), but remake is launching next year, and I won't be done with the full series before that, so will play that when it launches.

I started Pillars of Eternity on PC, had it in my backlog for a looong time, tried playing on my old PC once but it couldn't run it properly, so finally getting around to playing it. Not going to focus on it, will just play it a bit here and there.
