Still playing Borderlands 3 as my main PS game. 2 vaults down, don't know how many more left.

ATOM RPG is hard! I don't recall having such trouble with Fallout 1 and 2. Either they weren't this hard or I have become used to easier games. I think my problem is how I distributed my stats, giving me a very intelligent but a weak character, that keeps dying in actual fights.

Read up a bit on it about character stats, and thinking about starting a new game with new character.

While I kept dying in ATOM RPG, I looked through my backlog and started Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All. I loved the first one, but took a break before diving deep in the next one. So, playing through that now. Still a great game, might even be better than the first one. I'll probably finish this before I go back to ATOM.

Also started Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter on PC. Prologue was very interesting, just started Chapter 1. Playing it slowly on the side, when I generally don't have access to PS and Switch, not cause the game isn't fun, but because I don't enjoy playing on PC much. Fortunately only Trails in the Sky is left on PC, and all other games are available on console, so shouldn't be too much of a trouble.

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

I absolutely cannot stomach the newer Trails games; it feels like they fully leaned in to every anime trope hitting the millennium. But Trails in the Sky 1 and 2 are some of my favorite JRPGs, and I played them well past the age they came out in.

Something about the sense of adventure, the heart-wrenching emotional faults of the leads, as well as the maturity they take towards roles of leadership and governance, made it especially memorable to me.

Going from the next game on, they start repeating a lot of unnecessary patterns and get into Dragonball style “power escalations” that get really tiring. While the trope of getting an early forced loss to a powerful big bad is a common one, they start doing it multiple times in one game and it gets very annoying.

Hmm... well I haven't played the newer ones yet, but from what I have seen, most people who have played all the games rate Cold Steel below other games in series. Though people liked the latest one, Daybreak, I think.
