My Dual Sense (PS5 controller) got drift again, so no Monster Hunter this week.

  • Half-way through Soda Jungle in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (one good thing about Super Mario Wonder, is it's smaller name)
  • Didn't play much Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, want to fix that this week.
  • Not much to say about Dragon Quest XI, it's trudging along.
  • Started Deathloop as it's leaving PS+ Extra, but couldn't get into it, so dropped it.
  • After Deathloop, I wanted to play some kind of shooting game, so stared Remnant: From the Ashes. Loving the game, it's not as hard souls-like, but it's still a tough game, I guess more of a souls-lite. Loving the game, and that's taking most of my time now.

What about you guys? What have you been playing?

I have come to realise I like 3D Mario games much more than 2D ones. If they want to make different style of Mario games, I would choose 3D game and then instead of 2D Mario I would go with 3D world style games. Though, there are chances Wonder will change my mind.

I have been following Atelier games for quite a while now, but haven't played any yet. Though Atelier Ryza is on very top of my wishlist.

I was also interested in playing the Marie Remake, but I didn't know it has time limits. How forgiving are these limits? And what do you suggest I play first Marie Remake or Ryza?

How forgiving are these limits?

On Marie they are very, very forgiving. I have more than one year left with Marie at almost max level, max knowledge and reputation, only one item left to craft (the Philosopher's stone, which requires an item that I can only get in one specific day later this year), already killed two special bosses, already made an Elixir to cure Schea.... I haven't checked the ending requirements but I'm pretty sure I already fulfill some of them.

Generally speaking from my experience with Atelier the time limits are only a problem in two situations:

  • You want to 100% the games, in particular if you don't want to use a guide or go into NG+
  • You are playing Atelier Totori

Time limits in Totori are rough, the only game I had to reload an earlier save because I ran out of time and could not get at least a "good" ending. It's still one of my favorite games in the series though.

Worth mentioning that Marie also does have an "unlimited" mode you can choose at the beginning, but given how forvinging the limit is it's probably not necessary.

And what do you suggest I play first Marie Remake or Ryza?

Between those two, Ryza.

Marie is cute and fun game, but it's lacking in depth compared to other entries in the series. If it was $20 it could be an interesting entry point to the series, but for $10 more than what they're asking for that game you can get a far more complete experience by going with one of the recent games like Ryza or Sophie 2.

Thanks for your feedback! May start it once I am done with DQ XI.
